Description
The present invention relates to a method for controlling transparency of a glass for a vehicle, an apparatus for controlling transparency of a glass for a vehicle, and a computer readable recording medium on which a program for implementing a transparency control method for a vehicle glass is recorded.
When driving in a daytime with high direct sunlight, it is difficult to secure visibility because of strong direct sunlight. In summer, there is a problem that the skin is damaged by strong ultraviolet rays flowing into the car. Several methods have been proposed for blocking. First, most cars have a car sun visor installed in the driver's seat and front passenger's seat to prevent obstructing the front view of the driver, but the sun visor has to be used in such a way that the driver spreads out at the bottom to block the sunlight when the driver is in the sun. This was only to block the sunlight coming into the area, regardless of the sunlight the driver felt.
Another direct sunlight blocking method is to attach the sunshade directly to the glass to block the sunlight, which can be used on the side glass but can not be used on the front glass. And, as with the sun visor, there was an inconvenience that the sunshade had to be moved when the position of the sunshine was changed while driving. Moving while driving was more likely to cause an accident. In addition, although a method of tinting the glass itself is used, there is a disadvantage that it is not ensured in the case of nighttime operation or rain, and it must be removed at the time of regular inspection. That is, the conventional sunlight blocking device does not block the sunlight of the range desired by the driver, and thus discomforts the mood of the driving driver, thereby hindering safe driving.
The disclosed technical idea is to measure the amount of light irradiated to a vehicle and to control the transparency of the glass for a vehicle according to the measurement result, so that it is difficult for a driver or a passenger on the vehicle to obtain visibility due to the light irradiated to the vehicle, And to provide a method and an apparatus for controlling the transparency of a glass for a vehicle.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided an apparatus for controlling transparency of a glass for a vehicle, the apparatus comprising: a sensing unit for acquiring illuminance information about a position of a user on a vehicle and a light amount irradiated to the vehicle; A control unit for selecting at least a partial area of the vehicle glass provided in the vehicle based on the obtained positional information and the obtained roughness information and determining the transparency of the selected at least partial area; And a voltage applying unit for applying a voltage to at least a partial region according to the determined transparency.
In the transparency control apparatus for a glass for a vehicle according to an embodiment, when a gesture of a predetermined user is sensed, the control unit determines transparency of a region of the glass for a vehicle corresponding to a position where the gesture is sensed.
In the transparency control apparatus for a glass for a vehicle according to an embodiment, the sensing section obtains illuminance information on the amount of light irradiated to the vehicle according to a time unit set based on weather information and time information of a place where the vehicle is located.
An apparatus for controlling transparency of a glass for a vehicle according to an embodiment further includes a user input unit for obtaining a user input requesting a transparency change for at least a partial area of the glass for a vehicle from a user.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a method for controlling transparency of a glass for a vehicle, the method comprising: acquiring illuminance information relating to a position of a user who rides on a vehicle and an illuminance of the vehicle; Determining transparency of at least a part of the area of the vehicle glass provided in the vehicle based on the obtained position information and the obtained roughness information; And applying a voltage to at least some of the regions according to the determined transparency.
In the method of controlling transparency of a glass for a vehicle according to an exemplary embodiment, the step of determining transparency determines transparency of a region of the glass for a vehicle corresponding to a position where the gesture is sensed when a predetermined user's gesture is sensed.
In the method of controlling transparency of a glass for a vehicle according to an embodiment, acquiring acquires illuminance information on the amount of light irradiated to the vehicle in accordance with a time unit set based on weather information and time information of a place where the vehicle is located do.
The method of controlling transparency of a glass for a vehicle according to an embodiment further includes obtaining a user input requesting transparency change from at least a part of the area of the glass for a user to the user.
By controlling the transparency of the glass for a vehicle, it is possible to solve problems such as difficulty in securing a field of view due to light irradiated to a vehicle by a driver or a passenger boarded on the vehicle, or the temperature of the vehicle being changed.

The transparency control apparatus 100 (hereinafter, a glass control apparatus for a vehicle) for a vehicle glass according to an embodiment can control the transparency of a vehicle glass by applying a voltage to the vehicle glass provided in the vehicle. Here, the glass for a vehicle may be composed of a material such as a cholesteric LCD and a photonic crystal material, whose optical characteristics (for example, transparency) are changed according to changes in the magnitude of an applied voltage. For example, when a cholesteric LCD or a photonic crystal material is used to produce automotive glass, a voltage between 40 volts and 60 volts may be applied to convert the transparency of the automotive glass. Cholesteric LCD or automotive glass using photonic crystal materials can be converted to a transparent state at 45 volts or less and to an opaque state at 55 volts or more. However, the above-mentioned examples are only examples of the material constituting the glass for vehicles, and the material constituting the glass for vehicles is not limited thereto. On the other hand, the glass for vehicle is opaque depending on the applied power, and on the other hand, transparency can be maintained so that the user can see the outside of the vehicle inside the vehicle due to the nature of the particles.
