[First embodiment]

Please refer to Figures 1 and 2. Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a multifunctional integrated electronic control system according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of a control circuit according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In this embodiment, a multifunctional integrated electronic control system SYS is provided. The multifunctional integrated electronic control system SYS is applicable to a mobile vehicle V1. The multifunctional integrated electronic control system SYS is installed on the mobile vehicle V1.

The multifunctional integrated electronic control system SYS includes a control circuit 1 and a power circuit 2. The power circuit 2 is connected to the control circuit 1 and a battery unit BA of the mobile vehicle V1.

The control circuit 1 includes a headlight control circuit 10, an automatic fill-in circuit 11, an automatic reset circuit 12, a turn signal control circuit 13, a stop-signal warning light control circuit 14, and an emergency brake warning circuit (ESS) 15.

The stop warning light control circuit 14 is a double flashing light or parking light control circuit.

The control circuit 1 is connected to a first angle sensor AS1, a second angle sensor AS2, a first lamp L1, a second lamp L2, and a third lamp L3.

The first angle sensor AS1, the second angle sensor AS2, the first lamp L1, and the second lamp L2 are also installed on the mobile vehicle V1. The first lamp L1 is installed on the front side of the mobile vehicle V1. The second lamp L2 is installed on both sides of the mobile vehicle V1.

The first angle sensor AS1 detects a tilt angle A1 of the mobile vehicle V1 relative to a first reference line REF1 of the mobile vehicle V1. The automatic fill light circuit 11 of the control circuit 1 adjusts the lighting range of the first lamp L1 based on the tilt angle A1.

In this embodiment, the mobile vehicle V1 is a motorcycle. The first lamp L1 is a front headlight. The first reference line REF1 is, for example, the center axis of the mobile vehicle V1 when it is stopped or driving normally (i.e., the mobile vehicle V1 is not tilted). When the rider is riding the mobile vehicle V1, the mobile vehicle V1 will form different tilt angles with the first reference line REF1 due to changes in the distance. However, during normal riding, the tilt angle will be approximately within a predetermined angle range. Within this predetermined angle range, since the rider's line of sight will not be greatly affected, the lighting range of the first lamp L1 does not need to be adjusted. However, if the tilt angle is greater than or equal to a first tilt angle A1, such as 20 degrees, the rider's body and mobile vehicle V1 are already tilted to one side, and the rider's line of sight is also limited to the tilted side of the mobile vehicle V1. Therefore, the control circuit 1 adjusts the first luminous range based on the tilt angle A1. For example, when the tilt angle is greater than or equal to the first tilt angle A1, the control circuit 1 increases or adjusts the luminous range based on the difference between the tilt angle and the first tilt angle.

In this embodiment, the lighting range is adjusted based on the tilt angle of the mobile vehicle V1, increasing the lighting range on the tilted side. In other embodiments, the lighting range can also be adjusted based on changes in the acceleration of the mobile vehicle V1. For example, when the acceleration of the mobile vehicle V1 increases, the lighting range increases. When the acceleration of the mobile vehicle V1 decreases, the lighting range decreases.

Please refer to Figures 3A and 3B, which are schematic diagrams of the automatic fill light circuitry according to an embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the tilt angle can be divided into a right tilt angle and a left tilt angle based on the first reference line REF1. The distinction between left and right is based on the fact that the vehicle V1 is facing forward. If the vehicle V1 is tilted to the right of the first reference line REF1, the right tilt angle is observed. If the vehicle V1 is tilted to the left of the first reference line REF1, the left tilt angle is observed.

In one embodiment, the first lamp L1 includes, for example, a left-side lighting module, a center lighting module, and a right-side lighting module. The left-side lighting module, the center lighting module, and the right-side lighting module are arranged in a matrix. When the tilt angle A1 is to the left, the control circuit 1 turns on some or all of the left-side lighting module and the center lighting module to adjust the lighting range. When the tilt angle A1 is to the right, the control circuit 1 turns on some or all of the right-side lighting module L13 and the center lighting module L10 to adjust the lighting range.

The above describes how to control the first luminous range when the mobile vehicle V1 is tilted toward either side of the first reference line REF1.

Furthermore, the luminous range RA1 can be adjusted based on the tilt angle. That is, the larger the tilt angle, the larger the first luminous range.

When the tilt angle is smaller, the primary light range will also be smaller, and the fill light range will also be smaller.

In Figure 3A, when the mobile vehicle V1 is not tilted relative to the first reference line REF1, the luminous range of the first lamp L1 is illustrated as RA1. This means that the control circuit 1 only illuminates the center lighting module, while the left and right lighting modules are both off.

In Figure 3B, when the mobile vehicle V1 is tilted rightward relative to the first reference line REF1 at a first preset tilt angle A1, the control circuit 1 illuminates the central and right lighting modules and turns off the left lighting module. The lighting range of the first lamp L1 now includes the central lighting module's lighting range RA1 and the right lighting module's second lighting range RA2.

In Figure 3B, when the mobile vehicle V1 tilts rightward by an angle exceeding a second preset tilt angle A2, which is greater than the first preset tilt angle A1, the control circuit 1 illuminates the central and right lighting modules and turns off the left lighting module. Furthermore, the control circuit 1 increases the amount of light emitted by the light-emitting elements in the right lighting module. The lighting range of the first lamp L1 now includes the lighting range of the central lighting module and the lighting ranges RA2 and RA3 of the right lighting module.

In one embodiment, when the mobile vehicle V1 is tilted to the right at a first preset tilt angle A1, the number of light-emitting elements in the right-side lighting module is a first number. When the mobile vehicle V1 is tilted to the right at a second preset tilt angle A2, the number of light-emitting elements in the right-side lighting module is a second number, and the second number is greater than the first number.

Similarly, when the mobile vehicle V1 is tilted to the left at an angle A1 relative to the first reference line REF1, the control circuit 1 turns on the central and left lighting modules and turns off the right lighting module. The lighting range of the first lamp L1 now includes the lighting range of the central and left lighting modules.

In one embodiment, when the mobile vehicle V1 is tilted to the left at a first preset tilt angle A1, the number of light-emitting elements in the left-side lighting module is a first number. When the mobile vehicle V1 is tilted to the left at a second preset tilt angle A2, the number of light-emitting elements in the left-side lighting module is a second number, and the second number is greater than the first number.

Furthermore, the multifunctional integrated electronic control system SYS is connected to an ambient brightness sensor ENS. This sensor is connected to the control circuit 1 and is used to detect the ambient brightness around the mobile vehicle V1. The sensor ENS transmits the ambient brightness value to the control circuit 1. Based on the ambient brightness value, the control circuit 1 uses the automatic fill-light circuit 11 to adjust the brightness of the first lamp L1.

Please refer to Figures 4A and 4B. Figure 4A is a schematic diagram of a first lamp connected to an automatic fill light circuit according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4B is another schematic diagram of a first lamp connected to an automatic fill light circuit according to an embodiment of the present invention.

When the first lamp L1 includes multiple lighting modules, the automatic fill circuit 11 of the control circuit 1 adjusts the brightness of at least the lighting modules located in the center of the multiple lighting modules based on the ambient brightness. In this embodiment, the lighting modules L10-L14 of the first lamp L1 are, for example but not limited to, assembled from multiple light-emitting diodes. For example, when the first lamp L1 includes left-side lighting modules L11-L12, a center lighting module L10, and right-side lighting modules L13-L14, the automatic fill circuit 11 of the control circuit 1 can control the brightness of at least the center lighting module L10. Alternatively, the control circuit 1 may control only the center lighting module L10, the left side lighting module L11, and the right side lighting module L13. Furthermore, the control circuit 1 may also collectively control the brightness values of the left side lighting modules L11-L12, the center lighting module L10, and the right side lighting modules L13-L14. However, the brightness values of the left side lighting modules L11-L12, the center lighting module L10, and the right side lighting modules L13-L14 may be the same. In other embodiments, the brightness values of the left side lighting modules L11-L12, the center lighting module L10, and the right side lighting modules L13-L14 may be different. In other words, the control circuit 1 can control the first lamp L1 at a single brightness level or at multiple brightness levels. Furthermore, the control circuit 1 can also dynamically adjust the brightness of the first lamp L1 by controlling a portion of the multiple LEDs in the center lighting module L10, a portion of the multiple LEDs in the left lighting module L11, a portion of the multiple LEDs in the left lighting module L12, a portion of the multiple LEDs in the right lighting module L13, and a portion of the multiple LEDs in the right lighting module L14.

Please refer to Figure 5, which is a schematic diagram of the automatic reset circuit of the present invention.

In this embodiment, the automatic reset circuit 12 is connected to the second lamp L2 and the second angle sensor AS2.

A second angle sensor AS2 is also installed on the mobile vehicle V1. However, the second angle sensor AS2 detects a movement angle RM1 of a mobile device V11 on the mobile vehicle V1.

The moving device V11 is a faucet. The movement angle RM1 is the angle formed by rotating the moving device V11 clockwise or counterclockwise relative to the first reference line REF1. The movement angle RM1 ranges from 0 degrees to 90 degrees, for example.

The second lamp L2 is a directional light installed on the left and right sides of the mobile vehicle V1. After the user turns on the second lamp L2, the second lamp L2 determines whether to turn off based on the movement angle RM1 of the mobile device V11. The directional light control circuit 13 is also connected to the second lamp L2, but it primarily controls the turning on and off of the single directional light of the second lamp L2. The second lamp L2 includes at least two lamps. In this embodiment, the second lamp L2 includes two lamps on each side.

In this embodiment, the automatic reset circuit 12 of the control circuit 1 can determine whether to turn off the second lamp L2 based on the movement angle RM1 of the mobile device V11. That is, when the movement angle RM1 of the mobile device V11 is greater than a predetermined movement angle, the control circuit 1 will turn off the second lamp L2. In addition, for example, in some cases, the user will turn on the second lamp L2 on the left side, but turn to the right. At this time, when the movement angle RM1 of the mobile device V11 of the mobile vehicle V1 is greater than the predetermined movement angle, the control circuit 1 will turn off the second lamp L2 on the left side and turn on the second lamp L2 on the right side until the movement angle RM1 of the mobile device V11 is reduced to a predetermined angle range of the central axis. The predetermined center axis angle range may be, for example, but not limited to, between -20 degrees and 20 degrees. The predetermined movement angle may be between 30 degrees and 45 degrees.

The first angle sensor AS1 and the second angle sensor AS2 are respectively a gyroscope sensor or a multi-axis acceleration sensor.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, the control circuit 1 is a digital controller that can be connected to the vehicle computer (not shown) of the mobile vehicle V1 to communicate with it and obtain various vehicle information from the vehicle computer (not shown). In this embodiment, the first angle sensor AS1 and the second angle sensor AS2 are sensors installed in the inertial measurement unit (IMU) of the mobile vehicle V1.

The stop warning light control circuit 14 of the control circuit 1 is connected to the second lamp L2. When the vehicle is temporarily stopped, the second lamps L2 on both sides can be turned on simultaneously to warn other vehicles.

The emergency brake warning circuit 15 is connected to a third lamp L3. The third lamp L3 is located on the rear side of the mobile vehicle. When the user brakes suddenly, the emergency brake warning circuit 15 turns on the third lamp L3 to serve as a warning.
