Lamp body structure driven by gestures

The invention relates to a lamp body structure driven by gestures, in particular to a lamp body structure that integrates gesture recognition technology into a fixed lamp body structure for vehicles or households to control its functional operation in a non-contact manner.

Press, most of the light sources inside the vehicle are located on the front side or / and the top, which is mainly provided with at least one light source in a housing. The driver or passenger in the vehicle can control the light source to emit light by a switch Whether or not, to provide drivers or passengers in dimly lit conditions to get on and off, get in the car to read or find objects for lighting, so the time to turn on the light source is mainly in dim conditions or at night, Therefore, it is often difficult to find the switch, and you need to manually switch the switch to the off position after using the light source, so it is very inconvenient to control the light source; Republic of China Patent No. M473331 "In the car The nighttime ultrasonic gesture lighting device is used to solve the above-mentioned problems. The patent is mainly provided for being installed inside a vehicle and electrically connected to at least one light source provided inside the vehicle, which includes: a distance sensor And an electronic control unit. The distance sensor is located inside the vehicle, and can detect an object and generate a sensing signal. The electrical control unit is electrically connected to the distance sensor. The electrical control unit is provided with a predetermined distance. The electrical control unit receives the sensing signal and calculates a sensing distance based on the sensing signal. Wherein, if the electronic control unit determines that the sensing distance is less than or equal to the predetermined distance, the at least one light source is controlled to be in an on mode; if the electronic control unit determines that the sensing distance is greater than the predetermined distance Distance, controlling the at least one light source to be in an off mode; this patent mainly uses the distance sensor to sense the distance of the user's hand when the distance between the hand and the distance sensor is within a predetermined distance , You can control the light source to emit light; however, if the user only stretches his waist or any inadvertent movements and places his hand within the distance of the sensor, it will start the light source and easily affect driving safety. Wait.

In addition, there are currently situation lights on the market that can adjust the color of the light source, and the situation lights can be connected to the application (APP) of the user's mobile communication device, and the user can select the application ) To change the color of the light source in the color shown on the above, add environmental variation during family gatherings or dances to meet the needs of changing the environmental atmosphere; however, since there is only one mobile communication device built-in application (APP) The color of the luminous body can be changed, and the mobile communication device is required to operate it during operation, which is more inconvenient in operation; therefore, how to effectively combine the innovatively designed gesture recognition technology with the structure of the lamp body for vehicles or households, so that users can Various changes in hand posture and various operations of controlling the lamp body structure in a non-contact manner are still issues that need to be continuously overcome and solved by related industry developers and relevant researchers in automotive or domestic lamp body structures.

Now, in view of the fact that the above-mentioned lamp body structure still has many shortcomings during actual implementation, the inventor is a tireless spirit, which is improved by the help of its rich professional knowledge and many years of practical experience, and Accordingly, the present invention was developed.
