Abstract:
An optical system for viewing the rear seat area of a vehicle through a rearview mirror (15) and a roof mounted forward facing mirror (22) is provided. The forward facing mirror is mounted with the headliner (24) in a fixed or adjustable manner and there is a friction hinge for moving the mirror from a substantially flush position with the headliner to an extended position projecting from the headliner. Lights (29, 30) can be provided with the mirror to enhance the image of the rear seat. The mirror system in the rear of the vehicle can be multi-purpose. It can act as a forward facing mirror, alternatively it can swivel to act as a sun visor to a side window, or alternatively the reverse side of a double mirror system can be used as a vanity mirror with illumination as required.

Abstract:
A mirror assembly (6), which is attached to a head rest portion (20) of a rear seat (17) in a motor vehicle (8), is provided. The mirror assembly (6) includes a base plate (22), at least one fastening strap (24), universal ball joint (26), and mirror housing (28) that holds a reflective mirror (30). The mirror (30) is used for viewing a child (12) sitting in a rear-facing child safety seat (14). The safety seat (14) is placed on the rear seat (17) of the motor vehicle (8) so that the child (12) faces rearward. The mirror assembly (6) allows a driver (10) or passenger in the front seat of the vehicle (8) to observe the child (12) by looking in the rear view mirror (15) of the vehicle (8). The mirror assembly (6) can be either mounted directly to the head rest (20) or directly to the seat back (16) or to both the head rest (20) and the seat back (16) thereby bridging the gap (56) therebetween.
Abstract:
A wireless remote controlled mirror having lights to illuminate a subject being viewed in the mirror, while enabling a user to selectively adjust a view of the subject from a remote location. When attached to a rear seat of a vehicle, the mirror can be remotely adjusted to view a child in a rear facing safety seat. The mirror includes a base adapted to mount to an object, a reflective lens that moves relative to the base, one or more electric motors to drive the reflective lens, and a receiver that detects a command signal from a wireless remote controller and energizes a motor to reorient the reflective lens to view the child. A plurality of light sources are selectively energized to emit light toward the subject, so that the mirror is usable after dark. The mirror can alternatively be mounted on other portions of a vehicle.
Abstract:
A driver assistance apparatus can include a display unit, a camera configured to capture an image of an interior of a vehicle, and a processor configured to sense a direction of at least one of a gaze and a gesture of a driver based on images provided from the camera, detect a region corresponding to the direction among a plurality of predetermined regions of the vehicle, and control the display unit to output information related to the detected region in response to an occurrence of an event related to the detected region among a plurality of predetermined events.
