Patent Images
1. A control device mechanism to control headlights of a vehicle with adjustable light distribution and with a vertical cut-offline in at least one light distribution, comprising:
- an input for receipt of information about the location of objects located in front of the vehicle with glare needing to be reduced;
a processor operable for;
generation of first variables to set an adjustable light distribution on at least a first of said headlights of said vehicle;
generation of second variables to set a vertical cut-offline on a light distribution installed on one of said headlights and a vertical cut-offline installed on the other headlights,an output for deployment of at least one of said first and second variables;
a memory operable for storing a light strength of at least one locations in front of said headlights for adjustable light distributions by a steering mechanism of said vehicle.

Abstract
A control device for vehicle headlights with adjustable light distributions and with an adjustable vertical cut-offline in at least one light distribution,
- with access to the programming of information about the location of objects located in front of the vehicle with glare needing to be reduced,
- with a processing medium,
- operable for generating variables to set an adjustable light distribution on at least one main headlight
- and/or operable for generating variables to set a vertical cut-off line on a light distribution installed on the main right headlight and a vertical cut-off line installed on the main left headlight,
- with an outlet on which variables for setting up a light distribution and/or the vertical cut-off lines can be deployed,
whereby the control device has a memory to store the light strengths of locations in front of the main headlights for the adjustable light distributions.

5. A process of controlling the headlights of a vehicle with adjustable light distribution and with an adjustable vertical cut-offline in at least one light distribution, comprising the steps of:
-
providing information about the location of objects, in which the glare is to be reduced in front of the vehicle, especially vehicles driving in front and/or oncoming to a processor; generating first variables with said processor to set an adjustable light distribution on least one said headlights; generating second variables with said processor to set a vertical cut-offline on a light distribution installed on a first of said headlights and a vertical cut-off line installed on the other of said headlights, and outputting said first and/or second variables; storing a light strength of at least one location in front of said headlights for adjustable light distributions by a steering mechanism of said vehicle; comparing said stored lighting strength with a predetermined lighting strength amount. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8)
