Abstract:
A vehicular interior rearview mirror assembly includes a mirror head pivotable about a mirror support. An electro-optic mirror reflective element includes a transflective mirror reflector that at least partially reflects light incident thereon and at least partially transmits incident light therethrough. A video display device is disposed rearward of a reflective region of the mirror reflective element and includes a display screen that occupies at least 75 percent of the reflective region. A light sensor is disposed at an overhang region and is integrated with a user input that is configured to actuate at the overhang region of the mirror reflective element. The video display device is operated responsive at least in part to actuation by a user of the user input. Electro-optic dimming of the mirror reflective element and/or display intensity of the video display device is variable responsive to a light level detected by the light sensor.
Abstract:
An interior rearview mirror assembly for a vehicle includes a mirror head, a mounting member and an attachment member. The mirror head includes a mirror casing and a reflective element. The mounting member includes an upper portion configured to mount at an interior structure of a vehicle. The attachment member includes a connection portion and a pivot element protruding from the connection portion. The attachment member is disposed at a lower portion of the mounting member. The mirror head is configured to adjustably attach at the pivot element. The mounting member is formed of a polymeric material, and at least the connection portion of the attachment member is formed of a metallic material. The connection portion of the attachment member may be insert molded in the lower portion of the mounting member.
Abstract:
A voice acquisition system for a vehicle includes an optical sensor disposed at an interior portion of the vehicle and having a sensing field that encompasses a driver's head region in the vehicle cabin typically occupied by a driver's head. An optical sensor processor is provided for processing an output of the optical sensor to determine optically-derived vocal signals emanating from the driver. A microphone is provided and is operable to receive audible signals from in the vehicle cabin. A microphone processor is provided for processing an output of the microphone to determine audio-derived vocal signals emanating from the driver. A control, responsive to processing of the output of the optical sensor by the optical sensor processor and processing of the output of the microphone by the microphone processor, isolates the driver's voice from other acoustic noise.
