  • Publication number: 20170270924
    Abstract: The invention relates to a control device with voice and/or gestural recognition for the interior lighting of a motor vehicle comprising a plurality of lighting modules (Mn) each capable of emitting at least one light beam in an interior of the vehicle. The device includes at least distinct means (Cn) for detecting a plurality of voice and/or gestural commands (Sn), executed by at least one occupant of the vehicle in specific zones (Zn) of the vehicle interior targeted by the detection means, the detection means (Cn) being capable of transmitting data representative of the commands (Sn) to at least processing and analysis means (ECU) configured to merge and prioritize the data and generate, after comparison with reference data, at least one instruction (An) to at least one interior lighting module (Mn).

  • Publication number: 20170240130
    Abstract: A method for presenting information upon starting an automotive vehicle includes at least one step in which various parameters associated with the vehicle are verified. Also included is a step in which a particular light beam is projected onto a specific area of the passenger compartment of the vehicle when the state of a plurality of verified parameters allows the vehicle to be started.

  • Publication number: 20170240107
    Abstract: The invention concerns a device for lighting the passenger compartment of a motor vehicle. The device includes a variable light-emitting element adapted to generate selectively a light beam having at least one variable characteristic, and a device for measuring the ambient temperature in the passenger compartment of the vehicle. A device for controlling the variable light-emitting element is configured to control the emission of the light beam and to vary the variable characteristic of the light-emitting element as a function of the ambient temperature measured by the device for measuring.
