==AUTOMATED CONTROL OF HEADLIGHT ILLUMINATION BY ONBOARD VEHICLE-TO-EVERYTHING (V2X) DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240101018 titled 'AUTOMATED CONTROL OF HEADLIGHT ILLUMINATION BY ONBOARD VEHICLE-TO-EVERYTHING (V2X) DEVICE

==Simplified Explanation==

The method described in the abstract involves a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) device onboard a vehicle receiving safety messages related to the illumination of an object, determining if the object is within a target area for adjusting headlight illumination, and controlling the headlight intensity and pattern accordingly.

* The V2X device on the vehicle receives safety messages indicating a potential safety condition related to the illumination of an object.
* Based on the received safety messages, the system determines if the object is within or approaching a target area where headlight illumination adjustment is needed.
* If the object is within the target area, the system controls the intensity and pattern of the headlights to ensure proper illumination of the object.

== Potential Applications ==
This technology can be applied in autonomous vehicles, smart cities, and traffic management systems to enhance safety and visibility on the roads.

== Problems Solved ==
This technology helps in improving road safety by adjusting headlight illumination based on the presence of objects within specific areas, reducing the risk of accidents and collisions.

== Benefits ==
The benefits of this technology include increased safety for drivers, pedestrians, and other road users, improved visibility in low-light conditions, and enhanced overall driving experience.

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
Potential commercial applications of this technology include integration into automotive systems, smart infrastructure projects, and transportation management solutions to enhance safety and efficiency on the roads.

== Possible Prior Art ==
One possible prior art could be related to adaptive headlights that adjust based on the surrounding environment or objects detected by sensors on the vehicle.

=== What are the technical specifications of the V2X device used in this method? ===

The technical specifications of the V2X device, such as its communication range, frequency bands used, and data transmission protocols, are not detailed in the abstract.

=== How does the system prioritize different objects for headlight adjustment in case of multiple objects in the target area? ===

The abstract does not mention how the system prioritizes different objects within the target area for headlight adjustment, which could be crucial for ensuring optimal safety measures.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

in an aspect, a method of wireless communication performed by a vehicle-to-everything (v2x) device onboard a vehicle includes receiving one or more v2x safety messages indicating a potential safety condition related to illumination of an object; determining, in response to the one or more v2x safety messages, that the object is within or approaching a target area in which illumination of the object by headlights of the vehicle can be adjusted; and controlling an illumination intensity and/or an illumination pattern of the headlights of the vehicle in response to determining that the object is within the target area.
