An accessory system for a vehicle includes an interior rearview mirror assembly (10) and a display screen (20) that is extendable and retractable relative to a casing The display screen is slidably mounted at the casing and slidable in a direction generally parallel to a length axis of the reflective element between a non-use position, where the video display screen is positioned substantially within the casing, and a use position, where the video display screen is substantially extended from a side of the casing for viewing The display screen may be automatically extended in response to an activating event The accessory system may include an accessory module (50), which may comprise multiple sub-modules that may be selected to provide the desired accessory content to the accessory module

Accessory system for vehicle

A driver assistance system for a vehicle includes an imager disposed in a housing and a control. The imager includes a CMOS photosensor array of photosensor elements and a lens. With the housing disposed in a vehicle, the imager views forwardly to the exterior of the vehicle through the vehicle windshield at a region of the windshield that is swept by a windshield wiper of the vehicle. The CMOS photosensor array is operable to capture image data. The control includes an image processor disposed in the housing. The driver assistance system identifies objects viewed by the imager via processing by the image processor of captured image data. At least in part responsive to processing of captured image data by the image processor, streetlights present exterior of the vehicle and viewed by imager are discriminated from other objects present exterior the vehicle and viewed by imager.

A vision system for a vehicle includes a mirror mounting button attached at a first location at an in-cabin surface of a windshield and an attachment member attached at a second location at the in-cabin surface of the windshield. A light absorbing layer is disposed at the windshield and at least partially masks the presence of the attachment member from view by a viewer who is viewing through the windshield from outside the vehicle. An accessory module is releasably attached to the attachment member and accommodates a forward facing camera. With the accessory module releasably attached to the attachment member at the windshield, the forward facing camera views through the windshield. The forward facing camera includes a component of a camera-based driver assistance system of the vehicle.

An interior rearview mirror assembly for a vehicle includes a mirror head having a reflective mirror element, and a mirror mount for attaching the interior rearview mirror assembly to an attachment element attached at an interior portion of the vehicle. When the mirror mount is attached to the attachment element, the reflective mirror element has a field of view rearward of the vehicle. The interior rearview mirror assembly includes a pivot joint enabling a driver of the vehicle to pivotally adjust the mirror head to set the rearward field of view of the reflective mirror element to the driver's desired setting with the interior rearview mirror assembly attached to the attachment element. The interior rearview mirror assembly includes circuitry, and the circuitry comprises at least one of (a) a transmitter for a toll booth transaction function and (b) a receiver for a toll booth transaction function.

An accessory mounting system for a vehicle includes a mirror mounting button attached at an in-cabin surface of the vehicle windshield and a mounting element attached at the in-cabin surface of the windshield separate from the mounting button. An interior rearview mirror assembly has a mirror head and a mirror support, which includes a mirror mount configured to mount the mirror assembly to the mirror mounting button. A module is configured to be received at and supported by the mounting element attached at the windshield. The module accommodates a forward facing camera that views through the windshield. The forward facing camera may be part of a driver assistance system of the vehicle. With the module received by and supported by the mounting element, the mirror mount can be mounted to the mirror mounting button and can be demounted from the mirror mounting button without demounting the module from the mounting element.

A camera arrangement for motor vehicles with a camera that is arranged in a vehicle interior behind a window is described. In this arrangement, a transparent additional window is arranged behind and a distance away from the window, at least in the portion of the window viewed by the camera, so that a layer of air is enclosed between the window and the additional window.

Camera arrangement for motor vehicles

A camera (1) holder (5) is fastened on the inside of the screen (10). The holder forms a cover surrounding the space between camera objective (4) and screen, sealing it off from stray light and dust. The camera is fitted to the end of the cover which is remote from the screen. The cover includes a window (5B) in its base, surrounded by an edge (5A). The cover rests on the screen at the edge (5A), so that the holder (5) is closed by the screen in the window (5B) region.

Camera mounting for vehicles, comprises holder fastened to inside of screen, which keeps dust and stray light away

The method for producing an optical system for a camera involves production of a lens (1) and a tube (2) by a multicomponent injection molding process, with the lens and the tube consisting respectively of transparent and nontransparent plastic materials. Independent claims are also included for (a) (a) a resultant optical system (b) (b) a method for producing a plastic lens (c) (c) a resultant plastic lens

The method involves automatically controlling signals of each rain sensor (2), and analyzing signals of each camera for a driver assisting system. The signals are functionally coupled so that signals of the sensor additionally support and improve the functions of the camera. Signals of the camera are stored as images and analyzed in one signal processing device and utilized as an additional signal for the control of a windshield wiper. An independent claim is also included for a device that comprises of a rain sensor and a camera.

Method and device for a combined signal evaluation of a rain sensor and a camera

A camera optical system has a plastic lens (1) and an image sensor (4) mounted in a tube (2) that is longer than the focal length by a lower expansion coefficient holder (6) with tube thermal expansion coefficient chosen to compensate the movement of the lens focal plane due to temperature changes of the lens material. A camera optical system has a plastic lens (1) and an image sensor (4) mounted in a tube (2) that is longer than the focal length by a lower expansion coefficient holder (6) with tube thermal expansion coefficient chosen to compensate the movement of the lens focal plane due to temperature changes of the lens material. Includes INDEPENDENT CLAIMs for use of the holder to mount the image sensor and for use of retrofocus lenses.
