METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A LIGHT EMISSION OF A HEADLIGHT OF A VEHICLE
First Claim
1. A method for controlling a light emission of at least one headlight of a vehicle, comprising:
- reading in at least one danger warning signal received using a receiving device, the at least one danger warning signal indicating a danger position at which an object is located and which represents a danger for the vehicle;
checking whether the danger position indicated by the at least one danger warning signal is within a specified tolerance range on a travel route currently being traveled by the vehicle; and
changing the light emission of the at least one headlight from a first radiation characteristic to a second radiation characteristic if the danger position is within the specified tolerance range on the travel route currently being traveled by the vehicle.

Abstract
A method for controlling a light emission of at least one headlight of a vehicle includes: reading in at least one danger warning signal from a receiving device, the at least one danger warning signal indicating a danger position;
checking whether the danger position indicated by the at least one danger warning signal is within a tolerance range on a route currently being traveled by the vehicle; and changing the light emission of the at least one headlight from a first radiation characteristic to a second radiation characteristic, if the danger position lies within the tolerance range on the route being currently traveled by the vehicle, in order to control the light emission of the at least one headlight.

9. A control device for controlling a light emission of at least one headlight of a vehicle, comprising:
-
means for reading in at least one danger warning signal received using a receiving device, the at least one danger warning signal indicating a danger position at which an object is located and which represents a danger for the vehicle; means for checking whether the danger position indicated by the at least one danger warning signal is within a specified tolerance range on a travel route currently being traveled by the vehicle; and means for changing the light emission of the at least one headlight from a first radiation characteristic to a second radiation characteristic if the danger position is within the specified tolerance range on the travel route currently being traveled by the vehicle.

10. A non-transitory computer-readable data storage medium storing a computer program having program codes which, when executed on a computer, implement a method for controlling a light emission of at least one headlight of a vehicle, the method comprising:
-
reading in at least one danger warning signal received using a receiving device, the at least one danger warning signal indicating a danger position at which an object is located and which represents a danger for the vehicle; checking whether the danger position indicated by the at least one danger warning signal is within a specified tolerance range on a travel route currently being traveled by the vehicle; and changing the light emission of the at least one headlight from a first radiation characteristic to a second radiation characteristic if the danger position is within the specified tolerance range on the travel route currently being traveled by the vehicle.
