APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING MIRROR OF VEHICLES BY SEMI-AUTOMATIC CONTROL

摘要

The present invention relates to a device and a method for semi-automatically controlling a mirror in a vehicle. The present invention can effectively respond to a gaze of a driver by calculating the angle of a three-dimensional vector and each three-dimensional axis and determining horizontal rotation angles and vertical rotation angles. The device for semi-automatically controlling a mirror in a vehicle includes a mirror selection unit supporting the driver to select the mirror which the driver manually controls; a mirror direction setting unit supporting the driver to directly set the direction of the mirror; a driver seat location sensing unit; a controller which outputs a direction control signal to the mirror by generating the direction control signal and outputs the direction control signal of the other mirror to the other mirror by generating the direction control signal of the other mirror corresponding to a direction sensing signal of the mirror; a mirror actuator; and a mirror direction sensing unit.
