Patent ID: 8716935

Claim:
A light irradiation control system for a vehicle lamp, the light irradiation control system comprising: a control unit configured to provide control signals for controlling light irradiation of the vehicle lamp based on detection signals generated by a plurality of sensors; and a plurality of actuator units configured to control the light irradiation of the vehicle lamp based on the control signals, wherein the control unit comprises: a body-side control unit comprising a plurality of electronic control units each of which is configured to perform signal processing on the detection signals and to provide the signal-processed signals to a common bus as common data; and one or more lamp-side control units coupled to the common bus and coupled to a common connector, wherein the one or more lamp-side control units provide the control signals to the common connector based on the common data provided to the common bus, wherein the one or more lamp-side control units are mounted in at least one, but fewer than all, of the actuator units; wherein each of the actuator units further includes a motor driving unit coupled to the common connector, and wherein the motor driving unit in at least one of the actuator units, in which the one or more lamp-side control units are not mounted, drives the light irradiation of the vehicle lamp based on control signals from the one or more lamp-side control units.
