Description

Kraftfahrzeuginnenbeleuchtung  Automotive interior lighting
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Kraftfahrzeuginnenbeleuchtung. Neuere Kraftfahrzeuge verfügen im Innenraum zunehmend über sogenannte ambiente Lichtfunktionen, die für eine dezente Ausleuchtung des Innenraumes sorgen. Der Einsatz dieser Art der Beleuchtung erleichtert den Passagieren im Fahrzeug die Orientierung und schafft eine individuelle und wohnliche Atmosphäre. The invention relates to a motor vehicle interior lighting. In the interior, newer motor vehicles increasingly have so-called ambient light functions, which ensure discreet illumination of the interior. The use of this type of lighting makes it easier for passengers in the vehicle to orient themselves and creates an individual and homely atmosphere.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, eine auffallende und variable Kraftfahrzeuginnenbeleuchtung anzugeben. The invention is based on the object to provide a striking and variable automotive interior lighting.
Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch die Merkmale des unabhängigen Patentan- spruchs. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den abhängigen Ansprüchen. This object is achieved by the features of the independent patent claim. Advantageous developments of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims.
Eine erfindungsgemäße Kraftfahrzeuginnenbeleuchtung umfasst einen ins- besondere stabförmigen Lichtleiter und zumindest eine Lichtquelle, die derart ausgeführt und angeordnet ist, dass Licht der Lichtquelle an einem Ende des Lichtleiters in den Lichtleiter eingekoppelt wird. Zudem ist eine mit einem Kraftfahrzeugsystembus gekoppelte Steuereinrichtung zum Steuern der Lichtquelle vorgesehen. Durch diese Steuereinrichtung wird die Lichtquelle derart angesteuert, dass das Licht der Lichtquelle abhängig von über den Systembus übertragenen Busdaten hinsichtlich Farbe und/oder Helligkeit geändert wird. A motor vehicle interior lighting according to the invention comprises an in particular rod-shaped light guide and at least one light source, which is embodied and arranged such that light from the light source is coupled into the light guide at one end of the light guide. In addition, a control device coupled to a motor vehicle system bus is provided for controlling the light source. By this control device, the light source is controlled such that the light of the light source is changed depending on transmitted via the system bus bus data in terms of color and / or brightness.
Dadurch wird erreicht, dass die ohnehin vorhandene Innenraumbeleuchtung zur auffallenden Signalisierung von fahrzeugbezogenen oder fahrsituations- bezogenen Informationen verwendet werden kann. Beispielsweise kann durch die Erfindung die Lichtquelle bei stehendem Fahrzeug anders angesteuert werden als bei fahrendem Fahrzeug, bei positiver Beschleunigung anders als bei negativer Beschleunigung, bei offenen Türen anders als geschlossenen Türen, bei Motor-Aus anders als bei Motor- An, bei aktivem elektrischen Antrieb anders als bei aktivem verbrennungsmotorischen Antrieb, bei Querbeschleunigung anders als ohne Querbeschleunigung, bei hohen Temperaturen anders als bei niedrigen Temperaturen, bei hohen Motordrehzahlen anders als bei niedrigen Motordrehzahlen, bei mehr Fahrzeuginsassen anders als bei weniger Fahrzeuginsassen, bei großem Abstand zu einem Hindernis anders als bei kleinem Abstand zu einem Hindernis, usw. This ensures that the already existing interior lighting can be used for striking signaling of vehicle-related or driving-related information. For example, by the invention, the light source can be controlled differently when the vehicle is moving, with positive acceleration unlike negative acceleration, with open doors other than closed doors, with engine-off unlike engine on, with active electric drive unlike active internal combustion engine drive, with lateral acceleration other than without lateral acceleration, with high temperatures other than at low temperatures, with high engine speeds unlike with low engine speeds, with more vehicle occupants than with less vehicle occupants, with a large distance to an obstacle other than at small distance to an obstacle, etc.
Vorzugsweise umfassen die Busdaten Fahrzeugzustandsdaten (Daten, welche beispielsweise den Fahrzeugzustand, einen Fahrzeugkomponentenzu- stand oder die Fahrzeugumgebung beschreiben), die durch die Steuereinrichtung in Färb- und/oder Helligkeitsinformationen (beispielsweise Angaben im HSV-Farbraum oder entsprechende Lichtquellensteuersignale, beispielsweise Pulsweitenmodulationsparameter oder Bestromungsparameter) umgesetzt werden. Basierend auf den Färb- und/oder Helligkeitsinformationen wird dann das Licht der Lichtquelle hinsichtlich Farbe und/oder Helligkeit geändert. Preferably, the bus data comprises vehicle state data (data which describe, for example, the vehicle state, a vehicle component state or the vehicle environment) which is output by the control device in color and / or brightness information (for example information in the HSV color space or corresponding light source control signals, for example pulse width modulation parameters or lighting parameters). be implemented. Based on the color and / or brightness information, the light of the light source is then changed in terms of color and / or brightness.
Dadurch wird erreicht, dass die Umsetzung von Fahrzeugzustandsdaten in Farb-/Helligkeitsinformationen, insbesondere die Generierung von Lichtquel- lensteuersignalen, in Abhängigkeit von ohnehin vorhandenen Fahrzeugzustandsdaten, in der Steuereinrichtung selbst erfolgt. It is thereby achieved that the conversion of vehicle state data into color / brightness information, in particular the generation of light source control signals, in dependence on already existing vehicle state data, takes place in the control device itself.
Eine Umsetzung von Färb- und/oder Helligkeitsangaben in einem Farbraum in Lichtquellensteuersignale, kann gegebenenfalls durch die Steuerein rich- tung selbst oder eine damit gekoppelte Umsetzeinheit erfolgen. Eine andere bevorzugte Ausführungsform sieht vor, dass die Busdaten bereits Färb- und/oder Helligkeitsinformationen (beispielsweise Angaben im HSV-Farbraum oder entsprechende Lichtquellensteuersignale, beispielsweise Pulsweitenmodulationsparameter oder Bestromungsparameter) umfas- sen. Eine Umsetzung beispielsweise von Fahrzeugzustandsdaten in Farb- /Helligkeitsinformationen erfolgt in dieser Variante also nicht in der Steuereinrichtung, sondern in einer anderen an den Kraftfahrzeugsystembus gekoppelten Einheit, beispielsweise einer zweiten Steuereinrichtung. Die Farb- und/oder Helligkeitsinformationen können dann von der zweiten Steuerein- richtung an den Kraftfahrzeugsystembus gesendet werden. A conversion of color and / or brightness information in a color space into light source control signals can optionally be effected by the control device itself or a conversion unit coupled thereto. Another preferred embodiment provides that the bus data already includes color and / or brightness information (for example, information in the HSV color space or corresponding light source control signals, for example pulse width modulation parameters or lighting parameters). An implementation, for example, of vehicle status data in color / brightness information thus takes place in this variant not in the control device but in another unit coupled to the motor vehicle system bus, for example a second control device. The color and / or brightness information can then be sent from the second control device to the motor vehicle system bus.
Es ist eine Weiterbildung der Erfindung, dass der Kraftfahrzeugsystembus derart mit einer Schnittstelle, insbesondre Funkschnittstelle, gekoppelt ist, dass Färb- und/oder Helligkeitsinformationen über die Funkschnittstelle auf den Kraftfahrzeugsystembus übertragbar sind. Dadurch kann beispielsweise die Umsetzung von Fahrzeugzustandsdaten in Farb-/Helligkeitsinformationen in einem externen Gerät, beispielsweise einem Mobiltelefon, einem tragbaren Computer, etc., erfolgen. Die Farb-/Helligkeitsinformationen werden dann über die Schnittstelle auf den Kraftfahrzeugsystembus übertragen, um basie- rend darauf die Lichtquelle anzusteuern. Hierbei kann auch vorgesehen sein, dass Fahrzeugzustandsdaten über die Schnittstelle zu dem externen Gerät übertragen werden können, um die Fahrzeugzustandsdaten im externen Gerät zur Generierung der Farb-/Helligkeitsinformationen nützen zu können. Zu diesem Zweck kann das externe Gerät beschränkte oder volle Berechtigung zum Zugriff auf den Kraftfahrzeugsystembus oder auf Busdaten auf demIt is a further development of the invention that the motor vehicle system bus is coupled to an interface, in particular a radio interface, such that color and / or brightness information can be transmitted to the motor vehicle system bus via the radio interface. As a result, for example, the conversion of vehicle state data in color / brightness information in an external device, such as a mobile phone, a portable computer, etc., take place. The color / brightness information is then transmitted via the interface to the automotive system bus to drive the light source based thereon. It can also be provided that vehicle state data can be transmitted via the interface to the external device in order to be able to use the vehicle state data in the external device for generating the color / brightness information. For this purpose, the external device may have limited or full authority to access the vehicle system bus or bus data on the vehicle

For example, the vehicle condition data is derived from another force vehicle subsystem, such as a parking assistance system PDC generated. Based on a ZuOrdnungsvorschrift stored in the control device FRM, the vehicle state data in color and / or brightness information for the light-emitting diodes LQ1.LQ2 can be implemented. The color and / or brightness information is either information in the HSV color space, which in turn in corresponding Bestromungswerte or
