  • Publication number: 20150149044
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are a system and a method for controlling a rear vision assembly (RVA) of a vehicle, the system comprising a sender, receivers, an orientation device, a controller, and a motor. At least one said receiver disposed at the RVA may receive a reference signal from the sender to generate a relative positioning signal. The orientation device, disposed at the RVA, senses the orientation thereof in the three-dimensional space. Based on the relative positioning signal, the controller determines a relative position of the RVA and the sender and compares it with a default relative position, in addition to comparing the sensed orientation with a default orientation, thus generating a driving signal that directs the motor to restore the RVA to its default configuration when the determined relative position has deviated from the default for a predefined time and the sensed orientation deviates from the default.

  • Patent number: 8738263
    Abstract: A method of detecting a vehicle speed is disclosed in the present invention. The method includes outputting a detecting wave, receiving a reflecting wave from an external object when the external object passes through a covering range of the detecting wave, calculating a variation between the detecting wave and the reflecting wave, and reading a table for executing an application program according to information of the table.
