Patent number: 11104279Abstract: A vehicular vision system includes a camera disposed at a vehicle and having a field of view rearward of the vehicle, a light source disposed at the vehicle and operable to emit light, and a control including an image processor. The control, responsive to detection of the object present in the field of view of the camera, determines a region of the field of view of the camera at which a detected object is located. The control determines an illumination level at the detected object and, responsive to the determined illumination level at the detected object being greater than an upper threshold level or less than a lower threshold level, controls the respective individually controllable light segment of the light source for that region of the field of view of the camera at which the detected object is located to adjust intensity of light emitted by that light segment.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2019Date of Patent: August 31, 2021Assignees: Magna Electronics Solutions Gmbh, Magna Electronics Europe GmbH & Co. OHG, ZKW Group GmbHInventors: Martin Solar, Stefan Graf, Julian Baker, Matthäus Artmann

Patent number: 10481271Abstract: An automotive lighting system for a vehicle includes a taillight disposed at a vehicle equipped with an external object detection system. The taillight includes a housing that contains a light source that is operable to illuminate at least rearward of the equipped vehicle. The external object detection system includes a LIDAR sensor that is disposed in the housing of the taillight. The LIDAR sensor is operable to emit optical signals at least rearward of the equipped vehicle, where optical signals reflected back to the LIDAR sensor are processed by an electronic control unit of the external object detection system. Processing of reflected optical signals by the electronic control unit detects an object present exterior of the equipped vehicle. Also, processing by the electronic control unit may include use of 3D imaging techniques to generate a 3D image of the object present exterior of the equipped vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2017Date of Patent: November 19, 2019Assignee: MAGNA ELECTRONICS SOLUTIONS GMBHInventor: Stefan Graf

Patent number: 10234548Abstract: The present invention is directed to an ultrasonic detection device and detection method thereof. The ultrasonic detection device includes a processor and a transceiver module, whereby the transceiver module may be operated to enter an additional reception mode and receive a first ambient echo. The processor may analyze the first ambient echo and generate an analysis result. When the generated analysis result shows that the first ambient echo has a signal characteristic indicative of an interference source in the environment, the transceiver module may again enter the additional reception mode before a detection operation is performed. As a result, an elimination mode may be performed to correctly obtain or distinguish the corresponding reflected wave of the detection operation, thereby avoiding an error of operation, such as distance detection, due to the presence of an interference source.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2015Date of Patent: March 19, 2019Assignee: MAGNA ELECTRONICS SOLUTIONS GMBHInventors: Chen-Yi Hsu, Chien-Wen Lai

Patent number: 10234312Abstract: A method of forming an ultrasonic wave sensing module for a vehicle includes providing a housing having a first containing space and a second containing space separated from each other by a blocking wall, and providing an adapter at the blocking wall that includes a first connecting portion and a first connecting pin. An ultrasonic wave sensor is disposed in the first containing space and a circuit board is disposed in the second containing space. A second connecting pin of the ultrasonic wave sensor extends into the blocking wall and is coupled to the first connecting portion of the adapter at the blocking wall. A second connecting portion of the circuit board is coupled to the first connecting pin of the adapter. The ultrasonic wave sensor is electrically connected with the circuit board via the adapter.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2018Date of Patent: March 19, 2019Assignee: MAGNA ELECTRONICS SOLUTIONS GMBHInventors: Jingyuan Wei, Jiayu Lin

Patent number: 9915557Abstract: An ultrasonic wave sensing module includes a housing, an ultrasonic wave sensor, an adapter, and a circuit board. The housing has a first containing space and a second containing space being separated from each other by a blocking wall. The ultrasonic wave sensor is disposed within the first containing space and has a first connecting pin. The adapter includes a first connecting portion and a second connecting pin, and is integrally formed with the blocking wall by means of insert molding. The circuit board is provided within the second containing space, and has a second connecting portion. The first connecting pin of the ultrasonic wave sensor is coupled to the first connecting portion of the adapter, and the second connecting pin of the adapter is coupled to the second connecting portion of the circuit board, so that the ultrasonic wave sensor and the circuit board are electrically connected.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2015Date of Patent: March 13, 2018Assignee: MAGNA ELECTRONICS SOLUTIONS GMBHInventors: Jingyuan Wei, Jiayu Lin

Patent number: 9620042Abstract: The invention provides a multiple-view display system and a method for operating the same, wherein a seat sensor is incorporated into the system so that it is possible to get the information whether a user is present or not. Therefore, only one sensor installed on one side of the multiple-view touchscreen for detecting a proximity of the user to the multiple-view touchscreen is enough to identify the touchevent is given by which user, and no extra device is required.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2013Date of Patent: April 11, 2017Assignee: Magna Electronics Solutions GMBHInventors: Christoph Lauber, Gabriel Muresan

Patent number: 9403501Abstract: A carrier system includes at least one seat and a radio wave detection device. The radio wave detection device is configured to emit a detection wave towards at least one seat of the carrier. A reflected wave reflected in response to the detection wave is received by the radio wave detection device. A position of an occupied seat and a type of an occupant on the occupied seat are determined in response to the received reflected wave. A safety mechanism is activated in response to the position of the occupied seat and the type of the occupants.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2014Date of Patent: August 2, 2016Assignee: MAGNA ELECTRONICS SOLUTIONS GMBHInventors: Chih-Wei Teng, Jiun-Shiung Chen
