Abstract:
An interior rearview mirror assembly for a vehicle includes a mirror mount configured to attach at an interior portion of the vehicle. A mirror head includes a mirror casing and a mirror reflective element. The mirror mount includes a ball element and the mirror head includes a socket element, which pivotally attaches at the ball element forming a ball and socket joint to pivotally mount the mirror head at the mirror mount. The mirror head has a thickness dimension spanning between a front planar surface of said mirror reflective element and a rear surface of a laterally sideward region of the mirror casing, with the thickness dimension being less than 20 mm. A central region of the mirror casing has a thickness dimension greater than 20 mm to accommodate the socket element. The socket element is disposed at an aperture through the central region of the mirror casing.

Claim (Index 18):
An interior rearview mirror control system for a vehicle, said interior rearview mirror control system comprising:\n an interior rearview mirror assembly comprising a mirror mount configured to attach at an interior portion of a vehicle equipped with said interior rearview mirror assembly, said mirror mount comprising a ball element; said interior rearview mirror assembly comprising a mirror head comprising a mirror casing and a mirror reflective element, said mirror head comprising a socket element; wherein said mirror reflective element comprises a variable reflectance electro-optic mirror reflective element; wherein said socket element pivotally attaches at said ball element forming a ball and socket joint to pivotally mount said mirror head at said mirror mount; wherein said mirror head comprises a reduced profile mirror head having a side region thickness dimension spanning between a front planar surface of said mirror reflective element and a rear surface of a laterally sideward region of said mirror casing, and wherein the side region thickness dimension is less than 20 mm; wherein a central region of said mirror casing has a central region thickness dimension spanning between the front planar surface of said mirror reflective element and a rear surface of said central region of said mirror casing, and wherein the central region thickness dimension is greater than 20 mm to accommodate said socket element; wherein said socket element is disposed at an aperture through the central region of said mirror casing; an electronic control unit of the vehicle, wherein said electronic control unit is in communication with a rear backup camera disposed at the rear of the vehicle so as to have a field of view rearward of the vehicle, and wherein said electronic control unit receives signals from the rear backup camera; wherein said electronic control unit, responsive to processing signals received from the rear backup camera, determines glare light present rearward of the vehicle and generates at least one output to control dimming of at least said variable reflectance electro-optic mirror reflective element of said interior rearview mirror assembly responsive to the determined glare light and responsive to location of determined glare light rearward of the vehicle and in the field of view of the rear backup camera; and wherein said electronic control unit, responsive to processing signals received from the rear backup camera, determines ambient light rearward of the vehicle, and wherein ambient light is determined via processing a different region of image data captured by the rear backup camera than the region of captured image data processed to determine glare light.
