METHOD OF CONTROLLING AN ELECTROCHROMIC MIRROR AND AN ELECTROCHROMIC SYSTEM WHICH ARE INTENDED FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE

摘要

The method comprises: a) detecting the incidence on the mirror of a light signal with a light intensity above a pre-determined threshold; b) darkening said electrochromic mirror to a pre-fixed maximum level of darkness, upon a detection; c) lightening said electrochromic mirror to a minimum level of darkness, after an end of said light signal incidence on said electrochromic mirror, thereby viewing of the exterior of the vehicle through the electrochromic mirror is facilitated; d) lightening or darkening the electrochromic mirror to an intermediate level; e) detecting the incidence on the mirror of a subsequent light signal with a light intensity above a pre-determined threshold; f) darkening the electrochromic mirror from the intermediate level to a maximum level of darkness upon said detection of step e); and g) returning the electrochromic mirror to said intermediate level of darkness after an end of said subsequent light signal incidence on the electrochromic mirror.
