VPM 14 can be utilized in a variety of applications such as disclosed in commonly assigned U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,670,935; 5,949,331; 6,222,447; 6,201,642; 6,097,023; 5,715,093; 5,796,094 and 5,877,897 and commonly assigned patent applications, Ser. No. 09/793,002 filed Feb. 26, 2001, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,690,268, Ser. No. 09/372,915, filed Aug. 12, 1999, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,396,397, Ser. No. 09/767,939, filed Jan. 23, 2001, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,590,719, Ser. No. 09/776,625, filed Feb. 5, 2001, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,611,202, Ser. No. 09/799,993, filed Mar. 6, 2001, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,538,827, Ser. No. 09/493,522, filed Jan. 28, 2000, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,426,492, Ser. No. 09/199,907, filed Nov. 25, 1998, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,717,610, Ser. No. 08/952,026, filed Nov. 19, 1997, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,498,620, and Ser. No. 09/227,344, filed Jan. 8, 1999, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,302,545, International Publication No. WO 96/38319, published Dec. 5, 1996, and International Publication No. WO 99/23828, published May 14, 1999, the disclosures of which are collectively incorporated herein by reference.
For example, VPM 14 can be utilized in a vehicle equipped with a side object detection system utilizing stereoscopic imaging from cameras located in the driver-side exterior mirror assembly and/or in the passenger-side exterior mirror assembly, such as is described in commonly assigned patent application Ser. No. 09/372,915, filed Aug. 12, 1999, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,396,397, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated herein by reference, and further equipped with a CMOS camera-based headlamp controller as disclosed in commonly assigned U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,796,094 and 6,097,023, the disclosures of which are hereby incorporated herein by reference, and with the various image outputs being processed by the VPM. In this regard, should the vehicle be equipped with high intensity discharge (HID)/gas discharge headlamps (as known in the automotive lighting art), then the VPM can receive the output signal from a forward-facing CMOS camera (preferably mounted at or in the interior rearview mirror assembly and viewing oncoming headlights of approaching vehicles through the front windshield of the vehicle) and the VPM can control the intensity and/or direction of the light beam output from the HID headlamps as a function of the light level of the oncoming approaching headlamps as detected by the interior rearview mirror located forward-facing multipixel CMOS camera-on-a-chip light detector. Preferably, the intensity of the light beam output by the vehicle's HID lamps is inversely proportional to the intensity of the detected oncoming headlamps and, most preferably, the intensity of the HID headlamps is continuously variable inversely proportional to the intensity of the oncoming headlight intensity of approaching vehicles as detected by the forward-facing CMOS camera.
Further, and preferably, the vehicle may be equipped with a mobile cellular phone that is docked into a cell phone cradle system (such as in the CellPort 3000 system available from Cellport Systems Inc. of Boulder, Colo.) to allow a driver to conduct a hands-free telephone call when driving, and to provide the driver the option of undocking the cellular phone as desired in order to use the cellular phone, for example, when the driver departs the vehicle. The cell phone cradle system can include a sound-processing system (preferably including a microphone or microphone array, and such as is disclosed in commonly assigned patent application Ser. No. 09/466,010, filed Dec. 17, 1999, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,420,975, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated herein by reference, and other accessories, and with the cell cradle providing outputs at least partially processed by the VPM.
The vehicle may also be equipped with a navigational system, such as a global positioning system, and with controls and/or functions of said navigational system being at least partially processed by VPM 14. For a vehicle equipped with a GPS system and with a cell phone cradle (such as the CellPort 3000 system), a control input can be provided in the interior of the vehicle (such as at or on the interior mirror assembly) and/or a voice command control system can be provided whereby when the control input and/or voice command is actuated, a call is initiated to an external service (such as an emergency service of a concierge service or an information service) located remote from the vehicle and wherein the location of the vehicle (as generated by the vehicular navigational system) is automatically transmitted to the external service so that the external service can know the location of the vehicle and so provide assistance, advice and/or directions, and the like, to the driver of that vehicle. Such communication of geographic positional data can be transmitted by telecommunication via a phone network (such as Sprint or MCI or ATT, or the like) in a voice-over-data format allowing the driver to have a conversation with the service provider (and/or with another party) concurrent with the transmission of the vehicle location information to the service provider via telephonic linkage via the docked cell phone (or, optionally, via a BLUETOOTH or similar short-range RF wireless link between a cellular phone in, for example, the pocket of a driver and a cell phone linking/telecommunication/telematic station located, for example, at an interior rearview mirror assembly of the vehicle or in a dashboard or console area of the vehicle) to the external service provider. Preferably, at least some of such processing is handled by VPM 14 and, in particular, when videoconferencing is used.
The present invention can be used in a lane change aid system such as disclosed in a commonly assigned provisional patent application Ser. No. 60/309,022 filed Jul. 31, 2001, and a utility patent application filed concurrently herewith by Schofield for an AUTOMOTIVE LANE CHANGE AID, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,882,287, the disclosures of which are hereby incorporated herein by reference.
Also, a night vision system camera (such as an infrared detecting microbolometer night vision camera or a CMOS/near-IR detecting camera used in conjunction with a near-IR laser source for illumination forward of the vehicle) and an intelligent headlamp controller (such as a forward-facing CMOS video camera that automatically detects approaching vehicles and that dims the headlights of the host vehicle in response) can have their outputs combined/fused in accordance with the present invention to identify objects hazardous to the driver, such as a deer crossing the road ahead of the vehicle as the vehicle travels down a dark road at night. The control can, in response, automatically activate one or both existing headlamps, for example, to flash them or to move from a low-beam state to a high-beam state or to activate an additional headlamp or fog lamp or to adjust headlamps to high beam so that the object may be illuminated for the driver. Current night vision systems may either provide too much information for the driver to usefully assimilate or may distract him/her from attention to the road. The above combination achieved via the fusion system of the present invention allows use of the night vision system/intelligent headlamp controller to automatically provide extra forward illumination at the time required for the driver to take action to avoid a problem, which is the real intent behind the night vision system in the first place. The fusion of these inputs into a single processor achieves optimized nighttime driving safety. Note that a single forward-facing camera can perform both the night vision and intelligent headlamp control functions.
VPM 14 may receive both wired inputs and wireless inputs. For example, a restricted-range RF wireless communication device such as a BLUETOOTH device (housed, for example within an inside mirror or housed elsewhere in the interior cabin such as in an overhead console or a facia/instrumentation panel) can be used as a convenient channel location for the programming or reprogramming of various types of radio-frequency (RF) devices in a vehicle and/or to facilitate the use of RF as a means to program or reprogram non-RF devices to provide drivers with a more complete personalization of a vehicle (e.g., trainable garage door open, memory seat/mirror position, outside mirror position, etc.). This can be used in, for example, rental cars where an RF signal can be provided (such as via an RF transmitter located in the interior mirror assembly or in a windshield electronic accessory module) from a personal display assistant device (PDA) such as a Palm Pilot® PDA and thus provide a driver with immediate personalization to include temperature/climate control, radio setting, exterior mirror reflector position and other preferences.
In accordance with U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,949,331 and 6,222,447, incorporated by reference above, a display system of the equipped vehicle displays a synthesized image that visually informs the driver of what is occurring in the area surrounding the equipped vehicle. The displayed image is synthesized from the camera outputs and, preferably, approximates a substantially seamless panoramic view as would be viewed by a single virtual camera located exterior the equipped vehicle.
Changes and modifications in the specifically described embodiments can be carried out without departing from the principles of the invention, which is intended to be limited only by the scope of the appended claims, as interpreted according to the principles of patent law including the doctrine of equivalents.
