Abstract:
A vehicle control system that contains a control module configured to wirelessly communicate with a mobile device to upload and download user specific settings that may be stored on the mobile device. The mobile device may also be configured to enable the ignition system once the vehicle authenticates the mobile device and remote keyless entry system. The memory of the mobile device is read and write capable, allowing for data to be used by the control module in conjunction with several automobile systems, and allowing for data to be transferred from said systems to the portable memory device by the control module, thus facilitating vehicle operation.
Abstract:
A vehicle light source detection device in a light beam control system detects a position of a light source appeared and detected in captured image data The device calculates a gradient of a road on which the own vehicle is running. The vehicle light source detection device estimates a vanishing point in the captured image data on the basis of the detected gradient of the road. The device further increases a reliability value of the detected light source when the point of the detected light source more approaches the vanishing point. When the reliability value of the detected light source is not less than a predetermined reference value, the device determines that the detected light source is a head lamp of an oncoming vehicle, and adjusts an irradiation range of the light beam of the head lamps of the own vehicle to avoid the oncoming vehicle.

Abstract:
A processing section as a light emitting source detection device in a light beam control system changes irradiation parameters, one of an irradiation range and a luminance of a light beam of head lamps of an own vehicle. The light beam of the head lamps is irradiated toward a light object corresponding to a light source detected in captured image data. The processing section detects whether or not the luminance of the detected light source is changed after the change of the irradiation parameters, and sets a probability value of the detected light source to a value lower than a probability value of a light source when luminance is not changed even if the irradiation parameters are changed. When the probability value of the detected light source is not less than a predetermined threshold value, the processing section determines that the detected light source is a vehicle light source.
