Abstract

The light has a set of LEDs arranged in a punctiform, where specific LEDs are switched-on such that the LEDs display light patterns and/or symbols or characters indicating important information e.g. path to an airport, to road users. The symbols or the characters are switched-on and -off by a driver of a motor car by using a touch panel or keypad, where the symbols are selected from a group comprising moving pictures or written messages. The symbols correspond to DIN are obtained from the Internet. The light is programmable and designed by a vehicle owner.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Kraftfahrzeugbeleuchtung der in Anspruch 1 beschriebenen Art. Bisherige Kfz-Beleuchtungen dienen zur Beleuchtung des Fahrzeuges, der Fahrbahn, zum Anzeigen der Richtungsänderung und des Bremsvorganges. Zunehmend kommen LEDs zur Lichtverstärkung oder zur Dekoration in Kfz-Beleuchtungen zum Einsatz. Diese LEDs in Beleuchtungssystemen sind Eycatcher und intensivieren die Aufmerksamkeit.The invention relates to a motor vehicle lighting of the type described in claim 1. Previous automotive lighting used to illuminate the vehicle, the road, to indicate the change in direction and the braking process. Increasingly, LEDs are used to amplify light or for decoration in automotive lighting. These LEDs in lighting systems are Eycatcher and intensify the attention.

Bei der erfindungsmäßen Kfz-Beleuchtung bleiben die oben beschriebenen herkömmlichen Funktionen der Lichter unverändert erhalten, können aber gleichzeitig zusätzliche Informationen, z. B. Warnhinweise über Verkehrsstaus oder Glatteis, für andere Verkehrsteilnehmer durch Einblendung von Symbolen oder Schriftzeichen vermitteln. Das dient einer besseren Verkehrssicherheit, ohne die Aufmerksamkeit des anderen Verkehrsteilnehmers zu teilen (zu zerstreuen). Das Bremssignal leuchtet auf wie immer, sagt aber auch weshalb, z. B. wegen einer Radarfalle. Diese andere Strukturierung des Bremslichtes stört die Grundinformation genau so wenig wie der LED-Kreis im Bremslicht heute.In the inventive automotive lighting, the above-described conventional functions of the lights remain unchanged, but at the same time additional information, such. B. warnings about traffic congestion or black ice, for other road users by fading in symbols or characters convey. This serves to improve traffic safety without diverting (dissipating) the attention of the other road user. The brake signal lights up as always, but also says why, for. Because of a radar trap. This different structuring of the brake light disturbs the basic information just as little as the LED circuit in the brake light today.

Auch im Scheinwerfer können für den vorausfahrenden Verkehrsteilnehmer wichtige Informationen eingeblendet werden. Z. B. das eine Notsituation vorliegt, eine Fahrt zum Arzt, zum Krankenhaus oder auch zum Flughafen.Even in the headlights important information can be displayed for the driver in front. For example, there is an emergency situation, a trip to the doctor, to the hospital or even to the airport.

Über die Warnhinweise und beabsichtigte Manöver hinaus bieten die Lichtsymbole eine völlig neue Kommunikationsmöglichkeit für die Verkehrsteilnehmer. So kann z. B. durch das Einblenden eines Smiley-Symbols Dank ausgedrückt werden. Es ist möglich, die Kommunikation durch Bilder oder bewegte Schriftbänder zu verfeinern. So könnte z. B. mittels Sprachsteuerung die Handynummer eingegeben werden oder (auf Fahrzeuge im Stau oder im Stillstand beschränkt) verbale Mitteilungen erfolgen.In addition to the warnings and intended maneuvers, the light symbols provide a completely new means of communication for road users. So z. By expressing a smiley symbol thanks, for example. It is possible to refine the communication by pictures or moving tapes. So z. B. by voice control the mobile number can be entered or (limited to vehicles in a traffic jam or at a standstill) verbal messages.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, daß vorhandene Symbole z. B. der DIN-Norm oder des Internets wie „das gefällt mir” oder ähnliches, die allgemein verstanden werden, verwandt werden können.It is particularly advantageous that existing symbols z. As the DIN standard or the Internet such as "like me" or the like, which are commonly understood, can be used.

Es ist auch denkbar, daß andere Technologien als die LED-Technik für die Symbolanzeige eingesetzt werden können.It is also conceivable that other technologies than the LED technology can be used for the symbol display.
