Abstract:
The invention relates to a controller ( 7 ) for controlling at least one lighting device ( 3, 5 ) for a motor vehicle ( 10 ), this at least one lighting device ( 3, 5 ) being able to produce a defined low beam pattern (ABV 1,  ABV 2 ). If an optical image recognition system ( 6 ) detects a vehicle driving in front, then the controller controls the lighting device so that the passengers of the vehicle driving in front, in particular the driver, are not blinded through a side view mirror.

Claim (Index 17):
A process for controlling at least one lighting device ( 3 ,  5 ) according to  claim 6 , comprising the steps:\n monitoring an area lying in front of the at least one lighting device ( 3 ,  5 ) or the motor vehicle, in particular at least the area illuminated by the at least one low beam pattern (ABV 1 , ABV 2 ), using at least one object detection system ( 6 ), e.g., an optical image recognition system, the object detection system being set up to detect at least one vehicle, in particular a passenger vehicle, driving in front of the vehicle in which the object detection system is arranged, it being possible to determine the position and/or distance of the vehicle driving in front with respect to the object detection system, and also one or both side view mirrors of the vehicle driving in front; and controlling, by at least one controller ( 7 ), the at least one lighting device using information that comes from the at least one object detection system ( 6 ) in such a way that a defined low beam pattern (ABV 1 , ABV 2 ) with an asymmetric area (HDas 1 , HDas 2 ) in the light/dark boundary (HD 1 , HD 2 ) of the low beam pattern, this asymmetric area (HDas 1 , HDas 2 ) being provided for selective illumination of the right or left edge of the road,\n is modified within the limits of legal requirements, at least with respect to its position and/or shape, when a low beam pattern is turned on, and/or \n the low beam pattern whose position and/or shape has been modified \n within the limits of legal requirements is turned on, so that if the driver of a vehicle driving in front is blinded through one or both side view mirrors, the asymmetric area (HDas 1 , HDas 2 ) of the lighting device or a motor vehicle for driving on the right or left is displaced far enough horizontally that this asymmetric area (HDas 1 , HDas 2 ) no longer strikes the right or left side view mirror ( 52 ) of a motor vehicle ( 50 ) driving in front when a low beam pattern (ABV 1 \u2032, ABV 2 \u2032) is activated, and/or when the dimmed light pattern is turned on, in particular when the low beam pattern (ABV 1 \u2032, ABV 2 \u2032) is turned on.
