The present invention generally relates to a movable carrier auxiliary system, and more particularly to an auxiliary system that could visualize an external environment with a wide viewing angle and could identify and warn a movable carrier of deviating from a lane and control a moving direction of the movable carrier.
With frequent commercial activities and the rapid expansion of transportation logistics, people are more dependent on the mobile vehicle such as car or motorcycle. At the same time, drivers are paying more and more attention to the protection of their lives and property when driving, and therefore, in addition to the performance and the comfort of the mobile vehicle, it is also considered whether the mobile vehicle to be purchased provides sufficient safety guards or auxiliary devices. Under this trend, in order to increase the safety of vehicles, automobile manufacturers or vehicle equipment design manufacturers have developed various driving safety protection devices or auxiliary devices, such as rearview mirrors, driving recorders, a panoramic image instant displaying of blind vision areas, a global positioning system that records the driving path at any time, and etc.
In addition, with the rapid development of digital cameras and computer visions in daily life, the digital cameras have been applied to driving assistance systems, hoping to reduce the accident rate of traffic accidents through the application of artificial intelligence.
Take a conventional rearview mirror as an example, when a driver changes lanes or turns, most of the conventional rearview mirror is used to observe and determine the presence or absence of objects outside of the vehicle. However, most of the rearview mirrors have limitations and disadvantages in use under certain driving conditions. For example, when driving at night, the driver's pupil is in an enlarged state in the dark environment just like the shutter of the camera for providing more optical signals to the optic nerve. In such a state, the driver's eyes are extremely sensitive to sudden light. Usually, the rearview mirror reflects the front light from the overtaking or subsequent vehicles, which causes the driver to have a visual dizziness, so that the driver's visual ability will be rapidly reduced in an instant, increasing the driver's reaction time that front obstacles become visible.
Moreover, a conventional automatic assisted driving system mainly used to sense an external environment of the vehicle body by a sensing device such as a distance detector or an image detector, and determine a control signal based on the external environment by a processor, and control a moving state of the vehicle body according to the control signal. In this way, the automatic assisted driving system can help control the vehicle, improving a road safety and reducing a long-term driving workload. Long-term driving often involves roads with lane lines such as national roads or highways, so that the driver needs a lane deviation warning, or even a system that can help assist driving within the lane. Therefore, there is a need for the manufacturers to develop an automatic assisted driving system which could integrate a lane information in the visible area in front of the movable carrier into an image output device to display a wide-angle view image, thereby to warn the driver of the lane deviation and determine whether to change the lane, improving the driving safety.

The at least one direction control device is disposed on the movable carrier and is electrically connected to the at least one warning module, thereby to continuously receive the warning signal and control the movable carrier to follow a geometrical information of the lane marking. The at least one displaying device is electrically connected to the at least one warning module to display the warning signal.

The length of the contour curve of any surface of a single lens in the range of the maximum effective radius affects the surface correction aberration and the optical path difference between the fields of view. The longer the profile curve length, the better the ability to correct the aberration, but at the same time. It will increase the difficulty in manufacturing, so it is necessary to control the length of the profile curve of any surface of a single lens within the maximum effective radius, in particular to control the profile length (ARS) and the surface within the maximum effective radius of the surface.

For any surface of any lens, the profile curve length within a half of the entrance pupil diameter (HEP) affects the ability of the surface to correct aberration and differences between optical paths of light in different fields of view. With longer profile curve length, the ability to correct aberration is better. However, the difficulty of manufacturing increases as well. Therefore, the profile curve length within a half of the entrance pupil diameter (HEP) of any surface of any lens has to be controlled. The ratio between the profile curve length (ARE) within a half of the entrance pupil diameter (HEP) of one surface and the thickness (TP) of the lens, which the surface belonged to, on the optical axis (i.e., ARE/TP) has to be particularly controlled. For example, the profile curve length of a half of the entrance pupil diameter (HEP) of the object-side surface of the first lens is denoted by ARE11, the thickness of the first lens on the optical axis is TP1, and the ratio between these two parameters is ARE11/TP1; the profile curve length of a half of the entrance pupil diameter (HEP) of the image-side surface of the first lens is denoted by ARE12, and the ratio between ARE12 and TP1 is ARE12/TP1. The profile curve length of a half of the entrance pupil diameter (HEP) of the object-side surface of the second lens is denoted by ARE21, the thickness of the second lens on the optical axis is TP2, and the ratio between these two parameters is ARE21/TP2; the profile curve length of a half of the entrance pupil diameter (HEP) of the image-side surface of the second lens is denoted by ARE22, and the ratio between ARE22 and TP2 is ARE22/TP2. For any surface of other lenses in the optical image capturing system, the ratio between the profile curve length of a half of the entrance pupil diameter (HEP) thereof and the thickness of the lens which the surface belonged to is denoted in the same manner.

Referring to
In the current structural embodiment, the first transparent assembly 0120 includes a first incidence surface 0122 and a first exit surface 0124, wherein an incoming light image from the rear of the driver enters the first transparent assembly 0120 via the first incidence surface 0122, and is emitted via the first exit surface 0124. The second transparent assembly 0130 includes a second incidence surface 0132 and a second exit surface 0134, wherein the second incidence surface 0132 faces the first exit surface 0124, and a gap is formed between the second incidence surface 0132 and the first exit surface 0124 by an adhesive 0114. After the incoming light image being emitted via the first exit surface 0124, the incoming light image enters the second transparent assembly 0130 via the second incidence surface 0132, and is emitted via the second exit surface 0134.
An electro-optic medium layer 0140 is disposed in the gap between the first exit surface 0124 of the first transparent assembly 0120 and the second incidence surface 0132 of the second transparent assembly 0130. At least one transparent electrode 0150 is disposed between the first transparent assembly 0120 and the electro-optic medium layer 0140. The electro-optic medium layer 0140 is disposed between the first transparent assembly 0120 and at least one reflective layer 0190. A transparent conductive layer 0160 is disposed between the first transparent assembly 0120 and the electro-optic medium layer 0140. Another transparent conductive layer 0160 is disposed between the second transparent assembly 0130 and the electro-optic medium layer 0140. An electrical connector 0170 is electrically connected to the transparent conductive layer 0160, and another electrical connector 0170 is electrically connected to the transparent electrode 0150, thereby to transmit electrical energy to the electro-optic medium layer 0140 to change a transparency of the electro-optic medium layer 0140. When a brightness of the incoming light image exceeds a certain brightness (e.g. a strong headlight from the rear of the vehicle), an image sensing device which is a glare sensor 0112 as an example electrically connected to a control member 0180 receives the light energy and convert it into a signal, and the control member 0180 determines whether the brightness of the incoming light image exceeds a predetermined brightness, and if a glare is generated, the electrical energy is provided to the electro-optic medium layer 0140 by the electrical connector 0170 to generate an anti-glare performance. If the external light image is too strong, it will cause glare effect and affect the driver's eyes, thus endangering driving safety. More specifically, when an environment brightness inside of the movable carrier 0000 sensed by the image sensing device decreases, a brightness of the incoming light image decreases, while when the environment brightness rises, the brightness of the incoming light image rises. In an embodiment, the electrical connector could include at least one of a flexible circuit board, a copper foil, and an electric wire.
In addition, the transparent electrode 0150 and the reflective layer 0190 could respectively cover entire surface of the first transparent assembly 0120 and entire surface of the second transparent assembly 0130. However, this is not a limitation of the present invention. In the current structural embodiment, a material of the transparent electrode 0150 could be selected from metal oxides such as indium tin oxide, indium zinc oxide, aluminum tin oxide, aluminum zinc oxide, indium antimony zinc oxide, other suitable oxides, or a stacked layer of at least two of the foregoing oxides. Moreover, a material of the reflective layer 0190 could be a material which is conductive and is selected from a group consisting of at least one of silver (Ag), copper (Cu), aluminum (Al), titanium (Ti), molybdenum (Mo) or its alloy. However, the material of the transparent electrode 0150 and the material of the reflective layer 0190 are not a limitation of the present invention. In other embodiments, the material of the transparent electrode 0150 and the material of the reflective layer 0190 could be other types of materials.
The electro-optic medium layer 0140 could be made of an organic material or an inorganic material. However, this is not a limitation of the present invention. In the current structural embodiment, the electro-optic medium layer 0140 could be an electrochromic material. The electro-optic medium layer 0140 is disposed between the first transparent assembly 0120 and the second transparent assembly 0130 and is disposed between the first transparent assembly 0120 and the reflective layer 0190. More specifically, the transparent electrode 0150 is disposed between the first transparent assembly 0120 and the electro-optic medium layer 0140 (i.e., electrochromic material layer). In a structural embodiment, the reflective layer 0190 could be disposed between the second transparent assembly 0130 and the electro-optic medium layer 0140. In other embodiments, the electro-optic medium layer could be a polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) layer or a suspended particle device (SPD) layer. In addition, in the current structural embodiment, the vehicle electronic rear-view mirror 0100 further includes an adhesive 0114 located between the first transparent assembly 0120 and the second transparent assembly 0130 and surrounding the electro-optic medium layer 0140. The electro-optic medium layer 0140 is co-packaged by the adhesive 0114, the first transparent assembly 0120, and the second transparent assembly 0130.
In the current structural embodiment, the transparent conductive layer 0160 is disposed between the electro-optic medium layer 0140 and the reflective layer 0190. More specifically, the transparent conductive layer 0160 could be used as an anti-oxidation layer of reflective layer 0190, so that the electro-optic medium layer 0140 could be prevented from being in contact with the reflective layer 0190, thereby preventing the reflective layer 0190 being corroded by organic materials, providing the vehicle electronic rear-view mirror 0100 of the current structural embodiment a longer service life. In addition, the electro-optic medium layer 0140 is co-packaged by the adhesive 0114, the transparent electrode 0150, and the transparent conductive layer 0160. In the current structural embodiment, the transparent conductive layer 0160 contains at least one material selected from a group consisting of indium tin oxide (ITO), indium zinc oxide (IZO), Al-doped ZnO (AZO), or Fluorine-doped tin oxide.
In the current structural embodiment, the vehicle electronic rear-view mirror 0100 could optionally provide with the electrical connector 0170. For instance, in an structural embodiment, a conducting wire or a conducting structural is electrically connected to the transparent electrode 0150 and the reflective layer 0190, so that the transparent electrode 0150 and the reflective layer 0190 could be electrically connected to the at least one control member 0180, which provides a driving signal, via the conducting wire or the conducting structural, thereby to drive the electro-optic medium layer 0140.
When the electro-optic medium layer 0140 is enabled, the electro-optic medium layer 0140 would undergo an electrochemical redox reaction and change its energy level to be in a diming state. When an external light passes through the opening of the casing 0110 and reaches the electro-optic medium layer 0140, the external light would be absorbed by the electro-optic medium layer 0140 which is in the diming state, so that the vehicle electronic rear-view mirror 0100 is switched to an anti-glare mode. On the other hand, when the electro-optic medium layer 0140 is disenabled, the electro-optic medium layer 0140 is transparent. At this time, the external light passing through the opening of the casing 0110 passes through the electro-optic medium layer 0140 to be reflected by the reflective layer 0190, so that the vehicle electronic rear-view mirror 0100 is switched to a mirror mode.
More specifically, the first transparent assembly 0120 has the first incidence surface 0122 which is away from the second transparent assembly 0130. For instance, an external light from the rear vehicles enters the vehicle electronic rear-view mirror 0100 via the first incidence surface 0122, and the vehicle electronic rear-view mirror 0100 reflects the external light, so that the external light leaves the vehicle electronic rear-view mirror 0100 via the first incidence surface 0122. In addition, eyes of the vehicle driver could receive the external light reflected by the vehicle electronic rear-view mirror 0100 to know the position of other vehicles behind. Moreover, the reflective layer 0190 could have the optical properties of partial penetration and partial reflection by selecting a suitable material and design a proper film thickness.

where z is a depression of the aspheric surface; k is conic constant; c is reciprocal of the radius of curvature; and A4, A6, A8, A10, A12, A14, A16, A18, and A20 are high-order aspheric coefficients.
In the optical image capturing module, the lenses could be made of plastic or glass. The plastic lenses may reduce the weight and lower the cost of the optical image capturing module, and the glass lenses may control the thermal effect and enlarge the space for arrangement of the refractive power of the optical image capturing module. In addition, the opposite surfaces (object-side surface and image-side surface) of the first to the seventh lenses could be aspheric that could obtain more control parameters to reduce aberration. The number of aspheric glass lenses could be less than the conventional spherical glass lenses, which is helpful for reduction of the height of the optical image capturing module.
When the lens has a convex surface, which means that the surface is convex around a position, through which the optical axis passes, and when the lens has a concave surface, which means that the surface is concave around a position, through which the optical axis passes.
The optical image capturing module of the present invention could be applied in a dynamic focusing optical image capturing module. It is superior in the correction of aberration and high imaging quality so that it could be allied in lots of fields.
The optical image capturing module of the present invention could further include a driving module to meet different demands, wherein the driving module could be coupled with the lenses to move the lenses. The driving module could be a voice coil motor (VCM), which is used to move the lens for focusing, or could be an optical image stabilization (OIS) component, which is used to lower the possibility of having the problem of image blurring which is caused by subtle movements of the lens while shooting.
To meet different requirements, at least one lens among the first lens to the seventh lens of the optical image capturing module of the present invention could be a light filter, which filters out light of wavelength shorter than 500 nm. Such an effect could be achieved by coating on at least one surface of the lens, or by using materials capable of filtering out short waves to make the lens.
To meet different requirements, the image plane of the optical image capturing module in the present invention could be either flat or curved. If the image plane is curved (e.g., a sphere with a radius of curvature), the incidence angle required for focusing light on the image plane could be decreased, which is not only helpful to shorten the length of the optical image capturing module (TTL), but also helpful to increase the relative illuminance.
We provide several optical embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings for the best understanding. In practice, the optical embodiments of the present invention could be applied to other structural embodiments.
