Abstract:
An automated headlight system for vehicles replaces the high and low beam with a continuum of beam patterns, with further variable spatial distribution of intensities and color spectrum. The digital-headlight is comprised of a controller, sensors and multiple, individually-controllable light-sources modified by optical-control elements to form narrow-beams which are then combined to create the overall headlamp beam. Utilizing real-time sensor data regarding beings, objects and vehicles in the way-ahead, as well as optional information on the driver, vehicle and environment, the logical controller dynamically adapts the headlight system's illumination so as to provide vehicle operators with optimal visibility while preventing discomfort-glare from reaching the eyes oncoming traffic or pedestrians.

Claim (Index 13):
A method for generating a light beam in an adaptive headlight system that provides a required illumination to entities in the field-of-view ahead of a vehicle operator or camera-vision system, comprising:\n (a) providing a headlight structure that is able to affix components associated with the production of the illumination, (b) providing more than one directional illuminating-modules in the headlight and arranging them to be individually operable and able to illuminate sub-sections of the field-of-view ahead with different illumination characteristics and which, when operated in concert, create the overall headlight beam; (c) providing an electronic circuit assembly operatively connected to receive control signals and arranging it to operate the illuminating-modules independently; (d) providing sensors and arranging them to obtain and provide data pertinent to the determination of the illumination requirements for the field-of-view ahead to the system, (e) providing a logical-controller in communication with the sensors and capable of sending control signals to the electronic circuitry that is able to store and process algorithms, (f) determining the instantaneous required illumination by using the algorithms to process the data, (g) further determining the control signals required for operating each illumination module in order to generate the required illumination, (h) sending the determined control signals from the controller to the electronic circuitry to operate the illuminating-modules so as to create the overall beam. whereby said beam will provide the required illumination for the vehicle operator while preventing disabling-glare from reaching the eyes of oncoming traffic or pedestrians.
