[0041] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this disclosure clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this disclosure. Based on the described embodiments of this disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure. It should be noted that throughout the accompanying drawings, the same elements are represented by the same or similar reference numerals. In the following description, some specific embodiments are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as limiting this disclosure in any way, but are merely examples of embodiments of this disclosure. Conventional structures or configurations will be omitted where they may cause confusion in understanding this disclosure. It should be noted that the shapes and dimensions of the components in the figures do not reflect actual size and proportion, but are only schematic representations of the embodiments of this disclosure.

[0042] Unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used in the embodiments of this disclosure shall have the ordinary meaning as understood by those skilled in the art. The terms "first," "second," and similar words used in the embodiments of this disclosure do not indicate any order, quantity, or importance, but are merely used to distinguish different components.

[0043] Common sources of glare include the low-angle sun, the light-emitting surface of streetlights at night, and the high beams of oncoming vehicles. Glare can affect the vision of the driver and front passenger, causing minor eye strain or, in severe cases, preventing the driver from clearly seeing other vehicles and pedestrians on the road. Therefore, sun visors are often used to block glare during daily driving.

[0044] Sun visors typically require manual flipping, and most drivers don't stop to operate them, instead manually flipping them while driving. This distraction increases the risk of traffic accidents. Secondly, sun visors are usually made of opaque materials such as plastic, EPP, PU foam, and cardboard, which, while blocking sunlight, also obstruct the driver's field of vision, reducing driving safety. Furthermore, sun visors are usually installed on the driver's and passenger's seats, while side windows and sunroofs generally lack shading. Therefore, many car owners choose to install sunshades or apply sun-shading film to block light or protect privacy. In conclusion, sun visors have many drawbacks and limitations in practical use.

[0045] Based on this, the present disclosure provides a method for controlling dimming glass.

[0046] Figure 1 is a flowchart of a control method for dimming glass according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0047] As shown in Figure 1, the control method of the dimming glass in this embodiment 100 includes operation S110 and operation S120.

[0048] In operation S110, a first light intensity and a second light intensity are obtained for the dimming glass, wherein the first light intensity and the second light intensity correspond to different positions of the dimming glass.

[0049] The dimming glass can be a dimming glass sun visor, or it can be a windshield, side window, or rear window, etc. In some examples, when the dimming glass is a dimming glass sun visor, it can be a dimming glass sun visor for the driver's side or a dimming glass sun visor for the passenger side.

[0050] The first and second light intensities correspond to different locations on the dimming glass. In some examples, the first light intensity can be the light intensity of the area above the dimming glass, and the second light intensity can be the light intensity of the area below the dimming area. In other examples, the first light intensity can be the light intensity of the area to the left of the dimming glass, and the second light intensity can be the light intensity of the area to the right of the dimming glass.

[0051] In operation S120, in response to the first light intensity and the second light intensity meeting preset conditions, the dimming glass is controlled to switch from the first state to the second state.

[0052] The dimming glass can be a fixed-size dimming glass sunshade or a dimming glass sunshade with variable dimensions.

[0053] In some embodiments, the dimming glass can be a size-adjustable dimming glass. The size of the sun visor can be adjusted manually by the driver or automatically. The dimming glass can be a sliding dimming glass, a roller dimming glass, or other forms of size-adjustable dimming glass.

[0054] Preset conditions can be set according to specific circumstances. For example, when the size of the dimming glass is fixed, the preset conditions may include light transmittance control conditions. Similarly, when the dimming glass is a dimmable sunshade, the preset conditions may include both size control conditions and light transmittance control conditions.

[0055] In some examples, controlling the switching glass from a first state to a second state in response to the first light intensity and the second light intensity meeting preset conditions may include: controlling the light transmittance of the switching glass, for example, switching from the first light transmittance to the second light transmittance, in response to the first light intensity and the second light intensity meeting transmittance control conditions.

[0056] In other examples, controlling the switching of the dimming glass from a first state to a second state in response to a first light intensity and a second light intensity meeting preset conditions may include: controlling the shading size of the dimming glass, for example, switching from a first size to a second size, in response to a first light intensity and a second light intensity meeting size control conditions. The shading size characterizes the area size of the dimming glass used for shading. For example, the shading size may be the unfolded size of a roll-up dimming glass.

[0057] In other examples, in response to the first light intensity and the second light intensity meeting preset conditions, controlling the dimming glass to switch from the first state to the second state may include: in response to the first light intensity and the second light intensity simultaneously meeting the transmittance control condition and the size control condition, controlling the transmittance of the dimming glass to switch from the first transmittance to the second transmittance and controlling the shading size of the dimming glass to switch from the first size to the second size.

[0058] By acquiring the light intensity at different locations on the dimming glass, and automatically controlling the sun visor to switch from a first state to a second state based on the light intensity at each location and preset conditions, the system can achieve various effects. For example, controlling the light transmittance of the dimming glass sun visor can adjust the anti-glare area, blocking light while avoiding obstruction of the driver's view. Additionally, adjusting the sun visor's size can reduce the impact of other low-incident-angle light rays, such as hazard lights from other vehicles ahead, on the driver. Furthermore, increasing the sun visor's size can also provide sun protection, enhancing the driving experience.

[0059] It should be noted that smart glass can be divided into two modes depending on the material: normally dark and normally white. Normally dark mode means that when not powered on, the smart glass is in a normally dark, low-transmittance state. In this mode, the driver's vision is clear and unobstructed, allowing for a clear assessment of the vehicle's condition. In case of glare, the light transmittance of the smart glass can be adjusted. In this mode, the light transmittance ranges from 20% to 55%. Normally white mode means that when not powered on, the smart glass is in a normally white, high-transmittance state. In this mode, the driver's vision is clear and unobstructed, allowing for a clear assessment of the vehicle's condition. In case of glare, the light transmittance of the smart glass can be adjusted. In this mode, the light transmittance ranges from 20% ± 4% to 50% ± 5%.

[0060] According to embodiments of this disclosure, the first light intensity and the second light intensity correspond to the first region and the second region of the dimming glass, respectively, and the positions of the first region and the second region are different; the first light intensity and the second light intensity satisfy preset conditions, including: the difference between the first light intensity and the second light intensity is greater than a first threshold; controlling the dimming glass to switch from the first state to the second state includes: controlling the size of the dimming glass to elongate along the direction from the first region to the second region; and / or controlling the light transmittance of the dimming glass to gradually change along the direction from the first region to the second region.

[0061] It should be noted that this disclosure does not limit the specific value of the first threshold, which can be set according to the actual situation. Since different users have different sensitivities to light, the first threshold can also be set differently for different users. The direction from the first region to the second region can include the vertical direction, the horizontal direction, and directions that do not coincide with the horizontal and vertical directions, such as the inclined direction.

[0062] In some of these examples, the first and second regions may be distributed vertically; controlling the switching of the dimming glass from the first state to the second state includes: controlling the size of the dimming glass to elongate vertically; and / or controlling the light transmittance of the dimming glass to gradually change vertically.

[0063] Figure 2A is a schematic diagram of controlling the size of the dimming glass according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0064] Figure 2B is a schematic diagram of the light transmittance distribution of a dimming glass according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0065] As shown in Figure 2A, the dimming glass 210 of this embodiment includes a first region 210a and a second region 210b. The light intensity of the first region 210a can be a first light intensity, and the light intensity of the second region 210b can be a second light intensity. When the difference between the first light intensity and the second light intensity is greater than a first threshold, the dimming glass 210 is controlled to extend in the vertical direction, and its width is changed from a first width to a second width, thus obtaining the dimming glass 210'.

[0066] In another embodiment, for the dimming glass 210, when the difference between the first light intensity and the second light intensity is greater than the first threshold, the transmittance of the dimming glass 210 can be controlled to gradually increase in the vertical direction to obtain the transmittance distribution of the dimming glass 220 as shown in Figure 2B.

[0067] In other examples, the first and second regions may be distributed horizontally; controlling the switching glass from the first state to the second state includes: controlling the size of the switching glass to elongate horizontally; and / or controlling the light transmittance of the switching glass to gradually change horizontally.

[0068] Figure 2C is a schematic diagram of controlling the size of a dimming glass according to another embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0069] As shown in Figure 2C, the dimming glass 230 of this embodiment includes a first region 230a and a second region 230b. The light intensity of the first region 230a can be a first light intensity, and the light intensity of the second region 230b can be a second light intensity. When the difference between the first light intensity and the second light intensity is greater than a first threshold, the dimming glass 230 can be controlled to extend in the horizontal direction, and its length is changed from the first length to the second length, thus obtaining the dimming glass 230'.

[0070] The light transmittance of the switchable glass gradually changes in the horizontal direction, similar to the result shown in Figure 2B, except that the direction of the gradual change is horizontal.

[0071] In some examples, the first and second regions may be distributed along directions that do not coincide with the horizontal and vertical directions; controlling the switching of the dimming glass from the first state to the second state includes: controlling the size of the dimming glass to elongate along directions that do not coincide with the horizontal and vertical directions; and / or controlling the light transmittance of the dimming glass to gradually change along directions that do not coincide with the horizontal and vertical directions.

[0072] The direction that does not coincide with the horizontal and vertical directions can be the tilt direction, such as the diagonal direction of the dimming glass.

[0073] Figure 2D is a schematic diagram of the light transmittance distribution of a dimming glass according to another embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0074] Figure 2E is a schematic diagram of the light transmittance distribution of a dimming glass according to another embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0075] In some examples, the direction that does not coincide with the horizontal and vertical directions is the diagonal direction of the dimming glass. For example, when the diagonal direction is from the upper left corner to the lower right corner, controlling the transmittance of the dimming glass to gradually change along the diagonal direction can achieve the transmittance distribution of the dimming glass 240 as shown in Figure 2D. Similarly, when the diagonal direction is from the upper right corner to the lower left corner, controlling the transmittance of the dimming glass to gradually change along the diagonal direction can achieve the transmittance distribution of the dimming glass 250 as shown in Figure 2E.

[0076] According to embodiments of this disclosure, the first light intensity and the second light intensity can be obtained by light sensors on the dimming glass. In some examples, at least one light sensor can be disposed in the upper region of the dimming glass to determine the first light intensity based on the light signal collected by the light sensor, and at least one light sensor can be disposed in the lower region of the dimming glass to determine the second light intensity based on the light signal collected by the light sensor. In other examples, at least one light sensor can be disposed in the left region of the dimming glass to determine the first light intensity based on the light signal collected by the light sensor, and at least one light sensor can be disposed in the right region of the dimming glass to determine the second light intensity based on the light signal collected by the light sensor.

[0077] In some embodiments, the dimming glass may include four light sensors. For example, as shown in FIG2A, the dimming glass 210 includes light sensors 211, 212, 213, and 214. Light sensors 211 and 212 can be used to collect light signals from a region above the dimming glass 210, such as a first region 210a, to obtain a first light intensity. Light sensors 213 and 214 can be used to collect light signals from a region below the dimming glass 210, such as a second region 210b, to obtain a second light intensity. The first light intensity may be the average or weighted average of the data sensed by light sensors 211 and 212; the second light intensity may be the average or weighted average of the data sensed by light sensors 213 and 214.

[0078] In some embodiments, the dimming glass may include four light sensors. As shown in FIG2C, the dimming glass 230 includes four light sensors, namely light sensor 231, light sensor 232, light sensor 233, and light sensor 234. Light sensors 231 and 233 can be used to collect light signals from the left side region of the dimming glass 230, such as the first region 230a, to obtain a first light intensity. Light sensors 232 and 234 can be used to collect light signals from the right side region of the dimming glass 230, such as the second region 230b, to obtain a second light intensity. The first light intensity can be the average or weighted average of the data sensed by light sensors 231 and 233; the second light intensity can be the average or weighted average of the data sensed by light sensors 232 and 234.

[0079] In some embodiments, the dimming glass may include two light sensors. For example, as shown in FIG2A, the dimming glass 210 includes two of the following light sensors: light sensor 211, light sensor 212, light sensor 213, and light sensor 214. When the dimming glass 210 includes light sensor 211 and light sensor 213, light sensor 211 can be used to collect the light signal from the upper region of the dimming glass 210, such as the first region 210a, to obtain a first light intensity; light sensor 213 can be used to collect the light signal from the lower region of the dimming glass 210, such as the second region 210b, to obtain a second light intensity; when the dimming glass 210 includes light sensor 211 and light sensor 214, light sensor 211 can be used to collect the light signal from the upper left corner region of the dimming glass 210 to obtain the first light intensity; and light sensor 214 can be used to collect the light signal from the lower right corner region of the dimming glass 210 to obtain the second light intensity.

[0080] In some embodiments, the dimming glass may include two light sensors. As shown in FIG2C, the dimming glass 230 includes two of the following light sensors: light sensor 231, light sensor 232, light sensor 233, and light sensor 234. When the dimming glass 230 includes light sensor 231 and light sensor 232, light sensor 231 can be used to collect the light signal from the left side region of the dimming glass 230, such as the first region 230a, to obtain a first light intensity; light sensor 232 can be used to collect the light signal from the right side region of the dimming glass 230, such as the second region 230b, to obtain a second light intensity. When the dimming glass 230 includes light sensor 231 and light sensor 234, light sensor 231 can be used to collect the light signal from the upper left corner region of the dimming glass 230 to obtain the first light intensity; light sensor 234 can be used to collect the light signal from the lower right corner region of the dimming glass 230 to obtain the second light intensity.

[0081] Figure 3A is a schematic diagram of the structure of a dimming glass according to another embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0082] As shown in Figure 3A, the dimming glass 310 of this embodiment includes eight light sensors, namely light sensors 311 to 318. Light sensors 311 to 314 are located in the upper region of the dimming glass 310 and are used to collect the light intensity of the upper region of the dimming glass 310, such as a first light intensity. Light sensors 315 to 318 are located in the lower region of the dimming glass 310 and are used to collect the light intensity of the lower region of the dimming glass 310, such as a second light intensity.

[0083] When the difference between the first light intensity and the second light intensity is greater than the first threshold, the dimming glass 310 is controlled to extend in the vertical direction, and its width is changed from the first width to the second width, thus obtaining the dimming glass 310'.

[0084] Figure 3B is a schematic diagram of the structure of a dimming glass according to yet another embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0085] As shown in Figure 3B, the dimming glass 320 of this embodiment includes six light sensors, namely light sensors 321 to 326. Light sensors 321 to 323 are located in the left side region of the dimming glass 320 and are used to collect the light intensity of the left side region of the dimming glass 320, such as a first light intensity. Light sensors 324 to 326 are located in the right side region of the dimming glass 320 and are used to collect the light intensity of the right side region of the dimming glass 320, such as a second light intensity.

[0086] When the difference between the first light intensity and the second light intensity is greater than the first threshold, the dimming glass 320 is controlled to extend in the vertical direction, and its length is changed from the first length to the second length, thus obtaining the dimming glass 320'.

[0087] In some examples, some or all of the light sensors located on the dimming glass sun visor can be adjusted according to the driver's height. For example, the lower light sensor can be moved, its height can be manually adjusted, or it can be automatically moved by other control devices to position the light sensor at the driver's line of sight, thereby accurately obtaining the light intensity at the driver's line of sight.

[0088] Figure 3C is a schematic diagram of the position of the dimming glass according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0089] As shown in Figure 3C, the dimming glass sun visor 330 can be tilted between the windshield 331 and the driver 332. The light sensor 333 below the dimming glass sun visor 330 is positioned at the driver's eye level, thereby accurately obtaining the light intensity at the driver's line of sight, which helps to improve the light transmittance and the accuracy of sun visor size adjustment.

[0090] According to embodiments of this disclosure, the first light intensity and the second light intensity satisfying the size control condition include: the value of the first light intensity and / or the second light intensity is greater than a first threshold.

[0091] According to embodiments of this disclosure, the first light intensity and the second light intensity satisfying the size control condition further include: the target light intensity of the target area is greater than a second threshold, wherein the target light intensity of the target area is determined based on the first light intensity and the second light intensity.

[0092] According to embodiments of this disclosure, the target area can be the edge area of ​​the dimming glass. For example, for a dimming glass sun visor in the driver's seat, the target area can be the lower edge area and / or the right edge area of ​​the dimming glass. As another example, for a dimming glass sun visor in the passenger seat, the target area can be the lower edge area / left edge area of ​​the dimming glass.

[0093] According to embodiments of this disclosure, the first light intensity and the second light intensity each include a light intensity value at at least one light-collecting location; the method may further include: determining a target light-collecting location within a target area from at least one light-collecting location; and determining a target light intensity for the target area based on the light intensity value of the target light-collecting location.

[0094] The light-collecting location can be the location of the light sensor. For example, as shown in Figure 3A, the dimming glass 310 can have a first light intensity that includes light signals collected by light sensors 311, 312, 315, and 316, and a second light intensity that includes signals collected by light sensors 313, 314, 317, and 318. For the target area 319, light sensors 311 and 315 are located within the target area 319; that is, light sensors 311 and 315 are light sensors at the target light-collecting location. In this case, the light intensity of the target area 319 can be determined based on light sensors 311 and 315.

[0095] For example, as shown in Figure 3B, the dimming glass 320 can have a first light intensity that includes light signals collected by light sensors 321, 322, and 323, and a second light intensity that includes signals collected by light sensors 324, 325, and 326. Regarding the target area 327, light sensors 323 and 326 are located within the target area 327; that is, light sensors 323 and 326 are light sensors at the target light-receiving positions. In this case, the light intensity of the target area 327 can be determined based on light sensors 323 and 326.

[0096] Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of a shading size control method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0097] As shown in Figure 4, the size control condition in this embodiment 400 can be that the difference between the first light intensity and the second light intensity is greater than a first threshold. Based on this, the method for controlling the shading size can include: obtaining the first light intensity 420 and the second light intensity 430 for the dimming glass 410, and then determining the difference 440 between the first light intensity 420 and the second light intensity 430; then, determining whether the difference 440 is greater than the first threshold 450. If it is greater than the first threshold 450, the shading size is controlled to obtain the dimming glass 460 with adjusted size.

[0098] Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of a shading size control method according to another embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0099] As shown in Figure 5, the size control condition of this embodiment 500 can be that the target light intensity of the target area is greater than a first threshold. Based on this, the method for controlling the shading size can include: obtaining a first light intensity 520 and a second light intensity 530 for the dimming glass 510, wherein the first light intensity 520 includes the light intensity value 521 of the light-collecting position A1 and the light intensity value 522 of the light-collecting position B1, and the second light intensity 530 includes the light intensity value 531 of the light-collecting position A2 and the light-collecting position B2; then, determining the light-collecting position located in the target area 540 to obtain the target light-collecting position 550; then, determining the target light intensity 560 based on the light intensity value of the target light-collecting position 550; then, determining whether the target light intensity 560 is greater than the first threshold 570. If it is greater than the first threshold 570, controlling the shading size to obtain the dimming glass 580 with adjusted size.

[0100] According to embodiments of this disclosure, controlling the shading size of the dimming glass includes: controlling the shading size of the dimming glass to change to a first preset size; or controlling the shading size of the dimming glass to change by a preset size change amount.

[0101] There is no particular limitation on the specific size of the first preset dimension; it can be set according to actual needs. It should be noted that the first preset dimension can include multiple dimensions. For example, the first preset dimension can include X1, X2, and X3, where X1 < X2 < X3. In some examples, when the current dimension X0 is less than X1, controlling the shading dimension of the dimming glass to change to the first preset dimension can be done by controlling the shading dimension of the dimming glass to be X1. In other examples, when the current dimension X0 is greater than X1 and less than X2, controlling the shading dimension of the dimming glass to change to the first preset dimension can be done by controlling the shading dimension of the dimming glass to be X2.

[0102] The preset size change amount for controlling the change in the shading size of the dimming glass can be changed each time the shading size is adjusted. For example, if the preset size change amount is △X and the current shading size is X0, then the preset size change amount for controlling the change in the shading size of the dimming glass can be X0 ± △X.

[0103] According to embodiments of this disclosure, the transmittance control conditions include at least one of the following: the difference between a first light intensity and a second light intensity is greater than a first transmittance threshold; the target light intensity of the target area is greater than a second transmittance threshold; and both the first light intensity and the second light intensity are greater than a third transmittance threshold. This disclosure does not limit the transmittance control conditions and allows for flexible settings based on actual conditions.

[0104] According to embodiments of this disclosure, the dimming glass may include multiple dimming zones, and the light transmittance of each dimming zone can be controlled independently. By dividing the dimming glass into zones, the light transmittance of the dimming glass can be controlled in different zones, thereby enabling gradual dimming changes and improving the user experience.

[0105] This disclosure does not limit the method of controlling the light transmittance of the dimming glass. In some examples, the dimming glass may include a photochromic layer or an electrochromic layer, or other color-changing layers whose transmittance changes according to light intensity. In other examples, the electrical signal of the electrochromic layer of the dimming glass can be adjusted according to the light intensity of the dimming glass. For example, the voltage signal or the current signal of the electrochromic layer of the dimming glass can be adjusted to regulate the transmittance of the electrochromic layer, thereby achieving the adjustment of the light transmittance of the dimming glass.

[0106] Figure 6 is a schematic diagram of the control of a dimming glass according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0107] As shown in Figure 6, Embodiment 600 includes a dimming glass 610, a dimming controller 620, a sensor group 630, and a telescopic device 640. The dimming glass 610 includes dimming areas 611, 612, ..., 61n. The dimming controller 620 controls the light transmittance of the dimming glass 610 via voltage or current. The dimming controller 620 can individually control the corresponding dimming area using n voltage or current signals. For example, voltage or current signal 621 controls the light transmittance of dimming area 611, voltage or current signal 622 controls the light transmittance of dimming area 612, ..., voltage or current signal 62n controls the light transmittance of dimming area 61n. The sensor group 630 is used to collect the light intensity at different locations on the dimming glass 610. The telescopic device 640 is used to control the shading size of the dimming glass 610.

[0108] According to embodiments of this disclosure, controlling the transmittance of the dimming glass includes: determining the transmittance gradient direction based on a first light intensity and a second light intensity; and controlling the transmittance of the dimming glass to gradually change along the transmittance gradient direction by the amount of transmittance change.

[0109] The direction of the gradual change in transmittance can be the direction of the light rays. It can be determined based on the maximum and minimum light intensities among the first and second light intensities.

[0110] In some examples, the first light intensity includes a light intensity value at at least one lighting location, and the second light intensity includes a light intensity value at at least one lighting location. Determining the transmittance gradient direction may include: determining the maximum and minimum light intensity values ​​among the first and second light intensities, and obtaining the transmittance gradient direction based on the line connecting the lighting locations corresponding to the maximum and minimum light intensity values.

[0111] According to embodiments of this disclosure, the method further includes: determining the maximum and minimum light intensity among the first and second light intensities; and determining the amount of change in light transmittance based on the maximum and minimum light intensities and a preset directional value for the direction of the gradual change in transmittance.

[0112] The change in transmittance can be understood as the difference in transmittance between adjacent dimming areas. Since different transmittance gradient directions correspond to different numbers of dimming areas, a corresponding directional value can be set for each transmittance gradient direction. For example, the diagonal direction corresponds to the first value, the width direction to the second value, and the length direction to the third value. By determining the transmittance change based on preset directional values ​​and the maximum and minimum light intensities, the transmittance of the dimming glass can be made to change uniformly.

[0113] Figure 7 is a schematic diagram of determining the transmittance gradient direction according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0114] As shown in Figure 7(a), the first light intensity of the dimming glass 710 in this embodiment may include the light intensity values ​​collected by light sensors 711 and 712, and the second light intensity may include the light intensity values ​​collected by light sensors 713 and 714. Then, the maximum and minimum light intensity values ​​among the light intensity values ​​collected by light sensors 711, 712, 713, and 714 are determined. For example, the maximum light intensity value is the light intensity value collected by light sensor 711, and the minimum light intensity value is the light intensity value collected by light sensor 714. At this time, the transmittance gradient direction is determined to be the diagonal direction from light sensor 711 to light sensor 714, i.e., the direction indicated by the arrow in the figure.

[0115] By controlling the transmittance of the dimming glass to gradually change along the transmittance gradient direction with the amount of transmittance change, the dimming glass 710' shown in Figure (b) is obtained.

[0116] Figure 8 is a schematic diagram of determining the transmittance gradient direction according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0117] As shown in Figure 8(a), the first illumination intensity of the dimming glass 810 in this embodiment may include the illumination intensity values ​​collected by light sensors 811 and 812, and the second illumination intensity may include the illumination intensity values ​​collected by light sensors 813 and 814. Then, the maximum and minimum illumination intensity values ​​among the illumination intensity values ​​collected by light sensors 811, 812, 813, and 814 are determined. For example, the maximum illumination intensity value is the illumination intensity value collected by light sensor 812, and the minimum illumination intensity value is the illumination intensity value collected by light sensor 813. At this time, the transmittance gradient direction is determined to be the diagonal direction from light sensor 812 to light sensor 813, i.e., the direction indicated by the arrow in the figure.

[0118] By controlling the transmittance of the dimming glass to gradually change along the transmittance gradient direction with the amount of transmittance change, the dimming glass 810' shown in Figure 8(b) is obtained.

[0119] Figure 9 is a schematic diagram of determining the transmittance gradient direction according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0120] As shown in Figure 9(a), the first light intensity of the dimming glass 910 in this embodiment may include the light intensity values ​​collected by light sensors 911 and 912, and the second light intensity may include the light intensity values ​​collected by light sensors 913 and 914. Then, the maximum and minimum light intensity values ​​among the light intensity values ​​collected by light sensors 911, 912, 913, and 914 are determined. For example, the light intensity value collected by light sensor 911 = the light intensity value collected by light sensor 912 > the light intensity value collected by light sensor 913 = the light intensity value collected by light sensor 914. At this time, the transmittance gradient direction is determined to be a vertical direction from top to bottom, i.e., the direction indicated by the arrow in the figure.

[0121] By controlling the transmittance of the dimming glass to gradually change along the transmittance gradient direction with the amount of transmittance change, the dimming glass 910' shown in Figure 9(b) is obtained.

[0122] Figure 10 is a schematic diagram of controlling the light transmittance of a dimming glass according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0123] As shown in Figure 10, the transmittance control method of this embodiment 1000 includes: obtaining a first light intensity 1002 and a second light intensity 1003 for the dimming glass 1001; then, determining the maximum light intensity 1004 and the minimum light intensity 1005 among the first light intensity 1002 and the second light intensity 1003; then, determining the transmittance gradient direction 1006 and the light intensity difference 1007 between the maximum light intensity 1004 and the minimum light intensity 1005 based on the maximum light intensity 1004 and the minimum light intensity 1005; then, determining the transmittance gradient amount 1009 based on the preset direction value 1008 corresponding to the transmittance gradient direction 1006 and the light intensity 1007; then, controlling the dimming glass 1001 to gradually change along the transmittance change direction 1006 with the transmittance change amount 1009 to obtain the dimming glass 1010 with adjusted transmittance.

[0124] Figure 11 is a flowchart of a control method for a dimming glass sunshade according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0125] As shown in Figure 11, the dimming glass sunshade of this embodiment can be equipped with a first light sensor group and a second light sensor group. For example, the first light sensor group and the second light sensor group can be installed on the upper and lower edges of the dimming glass sunshade, respectively. Then, the dimming glass sunshade, the first light sensor group, and the second light sensor group are registered with the dimming glass sunshade control system so that the control system can subscribe to the data collected by the first and second light sensor groups and control the state of the dimming glass sunshade based on this data.

[0126] After registration, the dimming glass sunshade control system first executes operation S1101 to acquire the light intensity; at this time, it sends light intensity requests to the first light sensor group and the second light sensor group respectively. Upon responding to the light intensity request, the first light sensor group executes operation S1102 to acquire the first light intensity and returns it to the dimming glass sunshade control system; upon responding to the light intensity request, the second light sensor group executes operation S1103 to acquire the second light intensity and returns it to the dimming glass sunshade control system. The dimming glass sunshade control system executes operation S1104 to receive the first and second light intensities; then it executes operation S1105 to determine whether the first and second light intensities exceed a third threshold. If they do, it sends a transmittance control command to the dimming glass sunshade and then executes operation S1107; if they do not exceed the threshold, it directly executes operation S1107. The dimming glass sunshade, in response to the transmittance control command, executes operation S1106 to control the transmittance of the dimming glass sunshade. The dimming glass sunshade control system executes operation S1107, determining whether the difference between the first and second light intensities exceeds a second threshold. If it does, it sends a shading size control command to the dimming glass sunshade and then executes operation S1109. If it does not exceed the threshold, it directly executes operation S1109, waits for a preset time interval, and then executes operation S1101. The dimming glass sunshade responds to the shading size control command by executing operation S1108, controlling the shading size of the dimming glass sunshade.

[0127] According to embodiments of this disclosure, the method further includes: in response to establishing a connection between the mobile terminal and the target vehicle, controlling the shading size of the dimming glass to an initial size for the mobile terminal, wherein the dimming glass is disposed inside the target vehicle; and controlling the light transmittance of the dimming glass to an initial light transmittance.

[0128] A mobile terminal can be any smart terminal, such as a smartphone, smartwatch, or other electronic device.

[0129] The initial size can be set specifically for the current mobile terminal. Different mobile terminals can have different initial sizes. Different mobile terminals can be understood as mobile terminals used by different users, or different mobile terminals used by the same user. Multiple mobile terminals used by the same user can have the same initial size, or they can have different initial sizes. For example, for user A's mobile terminal, its initial size can be set to size a1; for user B's mobile terminal, its initial size can be set to size b1; for another mobile terminal of user B, its initial size can be set to either size b1 or size c1, where c1 and b1 are not equal.

[0130] The initial transmittance can be set specifically for the current mobile terminal. Different mobile terminals can have different initial transmittance settings. Similarly, different mobile terminals can be understood as mobile terminals used by different users, or multiple mobile terminals used by the same user. Multiple mobile terminals used by the same user can have the same initial transmittance or different initial transmittance settings. For example, for user A's mobile terminal, its corresponding initial transmittance can be set to transmittance a2; for user B's mobile terminal, its corresponding initial transmittance can be set to transmittance b2; for another mobile terminal of user B, its corresponding initial transmittance can be set to transmittance b2 or transmittance c2, where c2 and b2 are not equal.

[0131] Setting different initial sizes and initial light transmittance for different mobile terminals makes it easier to differentiate user habits based on the mobile terminal, and then adjust the size of the dimming glass sun visor accordingly, which helps to further improve the user's driving experience.

[0132] According to embodiments of this disclosure, the method further includes: determining a control strategy for the mobile terminal based on terminal information of the mobile terminal.

[0133] The control strategy may include target transmittance and / or target size. Determining the control strategy for a mobile terminal based on its terminal information can be understood as obtaining the target transmittance and target size for the mobile terminal based on the terminal information. The configuration methods for target transmittance and target size are similar to those for initial size and initial transmittance, and will not be repeated here.

[0134] By setting different target sizes and transmittances for different mobile devices, the dimming glass sun visor can be adjusted to the user's preferred size and transmittance when adjustments are needed. For example, in situations with glare, user A might prefer a first transmittance setting, while user B might prefer a second. By configuring target transmittances for different mobile devices, adjustments can be made according to individual user preferences, further enhancing the user's driving experience.

[0135] According to embodiments of this disclosure, the method further includes: in response to the mobile terminal disconnecting from the target vehicle, controlling the shading size of the dimming glass to a second preset size, and controlling the light transmittance of the dimming glass to a preset light transmittance.

[0136] Figure 12 is a flowchart of a control method for a dimming glass sunshade according to another embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0137] As shown in Figure 12, before the control method of this embodiment is executed, the dimming glass sun visor control system needs to be registered with the vehicle system. After registration, the following operations are performed.

[0138] After the mobile terminal establishes a connection with the vehicle system, the vehicle system executes operation S1201 to obtain the terminal information of the mobile terminal; then it executes operation S1202 to generate a first control request for the mobile terminal based on the terminal information and sends the control request to the dimming glass sun visor control system. This control request may include the initial size and initial light transmittance of the sun visor. The dimming glass sun visor control system responds to the control request and sends control information to the dimming glass sun visor, causing the sun visor to execute operation S1203 to control the visor size to the initial size and operation S1204 to control the light transmittance of the dimming glass to the initial light transmittance.

[0139] Then, the vehicle system executes operations S1205 to S1209. In operation S1205, the light intensity of the sun visor is acquired. In operation S1206, it is determined whether the light intensity meets the preset conditions; if it does, operations S1207 to S1208 are executed; otherwise, operation S1211 is executed. In operation S1207, a control strategy for the mobile terminal is generated. The control strategy may include a target transmittance and a target size, where the target size is larger than the initial size. In operation S1208, a second control request for the mobile terminal is generated according to the control strategy and sent to the dimming glass sun visor control system. The dimming glass sun visor control system responds to the control request and sends a control signal to the dimming glass sun visor, causing the dimming glass sun visor to execute operation S1209, controlling the visor size to the target size, and operation S1210, controlling the transmittance of the dimming glass to the target transmittance. In operation S1211, the vehicle system waits for a preset time interval before executing operation S1205.

[0140] After the mobile terminal disconnects from the vehicle system, the vehicle system sends a control request to the dimming glass sun visor control system. This request includes a second preset size and a preset light transmittance, where the second preset size is smaller than the target size. The dimming glass sun visor control system responds to the control request and sends a control signal to the dimming glass sun visor, causing it to perform operation S1212 to control the shading size of the dimming glass to the second preset size and operation S1213 to control the light transmittance of the dimming glass to the preset light transmittance.

[0141] Figure 13 is a flowchart of a control method for dimming glass according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0142] As shown in Figure 13, the control method of this embodiment 1300 includes operations S1310 to S1330.

[0143] In operation S1310, the operating status of the target vehicle is acquired. The target vehicle includes at least one dimming glass.

[0144] In operation S1320, at least one action resource for the dimming glass is acquired. The action resource includes a trigger condition, a trigger object, and a trigger action.

[0145] In operation S1330, in response to the running state satisfying the target triggering condition of at least one action resource, the dimming glass corresponding to the target triggering object in the target action resource is controlled to perform the target triggering action.

[0146] Action resources can be configured according to actual needs. For example, in some examples, the following action resources may be included: the triggering condition may be that there is someone in the passenger seat and the first and second light intensities of the passenger sun visor meet the above preset conditions; the triggering object may be the sun visor of the seat; the triggering action may be adjusting the light transmittance or sun visor size of the sun visor.
