Abstract: A device for adjusting a view range of a vehicular monitoring device includes an overtaking pre-motion detector outputting an adjusting signal when an overtaking operation is predicted; and a controller in communication with the overtaking pre-motion detector and the vehicular monitoring device, controlling the vehicular monitoring device to move in response to the adjusting signal. The device may further output a warning signal to sound the horn or twinkle the vehicle lamp when the overtaking operation is predicted for safety consideration.

Abstract: A device for adjusting a view range of a vehicular monitoring device includes a vehicle status detector mounted on a turning portion of a vehicle for detecting a turning degree of the turning portion, and outputting an adjusting signal associated with the turning degree; and a controller in communication with the vehicle status detector and the vehicular monitoring device, controlling the vehicular monitoring device to move from an initial position to a working position in response to the adjusting signal. The working position varies with the turning degree.

Abstract: A control module for adjusting the view angle of a rearview mirror via a controller area network (CAN) bus is disclosed. The control module is connected to a CAN bus and a rearview mirror of a vehicle. Upon reading and decoding a digital encoded signal which is transmitted on the vehicular digital bus and corresponds to a turning operation of the vehicle, the control module adjusts a view angle of the monitor device according to the decoded information.

Abstract: A wireless transmission control assembly for used with a vehicular monitoring device and a vehicular status indicator is disclosed. The assembly includes a sensing device in communication with the vehicular status indicator, asserting a control signal in response to an enabled operation of the vehicular status indicator; a wireless signal transmitter in communication with the sensing device, transforming the control signal into a wireless transmission control signal, and outputting the wireless transmission control signal; a wireless signal receiver receiving and recovering the wireless transmission control signal into the control signal; and a control device in communication with the wireless signal receiver and the vehicular monitoring device, having the vehicular monitoring device perform a view-range adjusting operation in response to the control signal.

Abstract: A light-responsive control device of an electrochromic rearview mirror system is disclosed. The light-responsive control device includes a downward ambient light sensor and a, discriminating circuit for generating a first and a second reference levels provided for daytime and nighttime glaring determination, respectively. By providing a photo-sensor for each rearview mirror, and individually comparing the outputs of the photo-sensors with the first or the second reference level, the color-change degrees of different rearview mirrors can be individually controlled. By providing a variable resistor for the drive circuit, the initial reflection rate of the rearview mirror can be adjusted optionally.

Abstract: An electrochromic solution includes a hydrazone compound as an anodic compound is disclosed. The hydrazone compound has a general formula (I) wherein R1, R2, R3, and R4 are individually selected from a group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl containing 5 to 20 carbon atoms, alkenyl containing 2 to 20 carbon atoms, alkynyl containing 2 to 20 carbon atoms, and aryl containing 5 to 20 atoms which are unsubstituted or optionally substituted with one or more ester, ether, aryl, amine, thioester, alkyl, alkoxy, alkene, alkyne, CN, F, Cl, Br, I and/or organometallcene functional group.

Abstract: A light-responsive controlling device for automatically controlling a headlamp and/or a sunshade curtain is disclosed. The control device includes a photo-sensor mounted on a vehicle for generating a sensing signal in response to the intensity of an environmental light, a discriminating circuit electrically connected to the photo-sensor for optionally generating a triggering signal according to a comparing result of the sensing signal with a reference signal, a hold circuit electrically connected to the discriminating circuit for outputting a confirming signal in response to the triggering signal uninterrupted for a predetermined period, and a drive circuit electrically connected to the hold circuit and a headlamp or a sunshade curtain of the vehicle for providing a drive current in response to the confirming signal for the headlamp to emit a certain level of light or for the sunshade curtain to perform opening/closing operations.

Abstract: A control method for automatically adjusting a view angle of a rearview mirror or a CCD camera of a turning vehicle is disclosed. The method includes steps of receiving an output of a navigation system; determining a turning level of the vehicle according to the output of the navigation system; and triggering the rearview mirror or the CCD camera to move to an extent corresponding to the turning level of the vehicle. A control device for automatically adjusting a view angle of a rearview mirror or a CCD camera of a turning vehicle in response to the output of an electronic compass or a global positioning system (GPS) is also disclosed.
