摘要

A control method for automatically adjusting a view angle of a rearview mirror or a CCD camera of a turning vehicle is disclosed. The method includes steps of receiving an output of a navigation system; determining a turning level of the vehicle according to the output of the navigation system; and triggering the rearview mirror or the CCD camera to move to an extent corresponding to the turning level of the vehicle. A control device for automatically adjusting a view angle of a rearview mirror or a CCD camera of a turning vehicle in response to the output of an electronic compass or a global positioning system (GPS) is also disclosed. The control device includes a microprocessor to receive an output of the electronic compass or GPS, determine a turning level of the vehicle according to the output of the navigation system, and trigger the rearview mirror or CCD camera to move to an extent corresponding to the turning level of the vehicle <IMAGE>
