LIGHTING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, LIGHTING MANAGEMENT METHOD, AND PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17980622 titled 'LIGHTING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, LIGHTING MANAGEMENT METHOD, AND PROGRAM

Simplified Explanation

The lighting management system described in the patent application includes:

  • A judgement unit that determines if the lighting state around a vehicle meets certain criteria for light amount, lighting range, lighting color, and flashing state.
  • A first control unit that adjusts the light amount of the lighting apparatus to meet the first reference.
  • A second control unit that adjusts the lighting range, lighting color, and flashing state of the lighting apparatus to meet the second reference.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Automotive lighting systems that can automatically adjust the brightness, range, color, and flashing patterns of lights based on the surrounding conditions.
  • Emergency vehicles that can optimize their lighting to enhance visibility and safety in different situations.
  • Smart city lighting systems that can adapt to different lighting requirements in different areas or at different times of the day.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Inefficient use of lighting resources, as the system ensures that the lighting state meets specific requirements.
  • Improved safety by providing optimal lighting conditions based on the surrounding environment.
  • Enhanced visibility for drivers and pedestrians, especially in low-light or hazardous conditions.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Energy efficiency, as the lighting system adjusts the light amount and other parameters to meet specific references.
  • Increased safety for both the vehicle occupants and other road users by providing appropriate lighting conditions.
  • Improved visibility and reduced glare, leading to better driving experiences and reduced accidents.


Original Abstract Submitted

The lighting management system includes: a judgement unit configured to judge whether or not a lighting state around a vehicle based on a first lighting apparatus and a second lighting apparatus meets a first reference for a light amount and a second reference for at least one of a lighting range, a lighting color, and a flashing state; a first control unit configured to control the light amount of at least one of the first lighting apparatus and the second lighting apparatus so that the lighting state is brought to meet the first reference; and a second control unit configured to control at least one of the lighting range, the lighting color, and the flashing state of at least one of the first lighting apparatus and the second lighting apparatus so that the lighting state is brought to meet the second reference.
