    摘要: It is detected whether a vehicle is currently in a running standby state, and, if the vehicle is currently in the running standby state, a predetermined tone is generated periodically. Along with the generation of the tone, a visual display is made in a display style that varies periodically in accordance with a displaying period synchronized with the generating period of the tone. Because that the vehicle is currently in the running standby state can be informed to a vehicle occupant both visually and auditorily in the above-mentioned manner, the vehicle occupant is allowed to intuitively identify that the vehicle is currently in the running standby state. Further, per internal operating state of the vehicle having operated in response to an instruction from an operation section, a tone, corresponding to the internal operating state, is generated for a predetermined tone generation time. Along with the tone generation, illumination control is performed on a light emission section such that a light amount gradually increases or decreases within a predetermined time. In this way, each state/operation of the vehicle can be informed in such a friendly and casy-to-follow manner as to make the vehicle occupant feel as if "the vehicle were awaking" or "the vehicle were falling asleep".

    摘要翻译: 检测车辆是否处于正在等待状态,并且如果车辆当前正在等待状态,则周期性地产生预定音调。 随着音色的产生,以与音调的生成周期同步的显示周期的显示风格进行视觉显示。 因为车辆当前处于运行待机状态可以以上述方式以视觉和听觉方式通知给车辆乘客,所以允许车辆乘客直观地识别出车辆当前正在等待状态。 此外,根据来自操作部的指示而操作的车辆的每个内部动作状态,对于预定的乐音产生时间,产生与内部动作状态对应的乐音。 随着色调产生,在发光部分执行照明控制,使得光量在预定时间内逐渐增加或减少。 以这种方式,车辆的每个状态/操作可以以如此友好和易于理解的方式通知,使得车辆乘员感觉好像“车辆醒着”或“车辆正在睡着”。

    摘要: A light warning system (20) and method (60) are provided for warning a driver (18) of a vehicle (10) of a sensed condition. The warning system (20) includes a lighting device (22) having first and second colored LEDs (26, 28) for generating a light beam (50) viewable on a windshield (14) in front of the driver (12) of the vehicle (10). The system (20) also includes a detection device (40) for detecting a condition desirable of a warning and generating a warning signal. The system (20) further includes a controller (30) processing the warning signal and determining whether to present a light beam warning displayed to the driver on the windshield. The controller (30) controls the lighting device (22) to generate a flashing light beam (50), wherein the light beam (50) flashes on and off for a time period less than one-half second.
