Abstract
A mirror assembly can include a housing, a mirror, and a light source. In certain embodiments, the mirror includes a light pipe configured to emit a substantially constant amount of light along a periphery of the mirror. In some embodiments, the mirror assembly includes a sensor assembly. The sensor assembly can be configured to adjust the amount of emitted light based on the position of a user in relation to the mirror. Certain embodiments of the mirror include an algorithm to adjust light based on the position of a user relative to the mirror, the level of ambient light, and/or the activation of different light modes.

21. A mirror assembly configured to provide an illuminated reflection of a user, the mirror assembly comprising:
-
a mirror; at least one light source disposed at a periphery of the mirror; a light-conveying pathway configured to receive light from the at least one light source and to convey the light along a periphery of the mirror at a generally even or a generally uniform intensity; a reflective surface positioned along the light-conveying pathway; a sensor configured to detect the presence of a user in front of the mirror assembly; and a controller in electrical communication with the sensor, the controller being configured to activate the at least one light source to illuminate the user when the sensor detects the presence of the user in front of the mirror assembly and to deactivate the at least one light source upon a predetermined delay after the sensor no longer detects the presence of a user in front of the mirror assembly. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26)

27. A mirror assembly configured to provide an illuminated reflection of a user, the mirror assembly comprising:
-
a mirror; at least one light source disposed at a periphery of the mirror; a light-conveying pathway configured to receive light from the at least one light source and to convey the light along a periphery of the mirror at a generally even or a generally uniform intensity; a reflective surface positioned along the light-conveying pathway; a sensor configured to detect the presence of a user in front of the mirror assembly; and a controller in electrical communication with the sensor, the controller being configured to activate the at least one light source to illuminate the user when the sensor detects the presence of the user in front of the mirror assembly and to deactivate the at least one light source after the sensor no longer detects the presence of a user in front of the mirror assembly; wherein the controller is configured to communicate wirelessly with a computer outside of the mirror assembly to adjust a color of light emitted by the at least one light source. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35)

36. A mirror assembly comprising:
-
a mirror; at least one light source disposed at a periphery of the mirror that emits light; a light-conveying pathway configured to receive light from the at least one light source and to convey the light along a periphery of the mirror at a generally even or a generally uniform intensity; a sensor configured to detect the presence of a user in front of the mirror assembly; a reflective surface positioned along the light-conveying pathway; and a controller in electrical communication with the sensor, the controller being configured to activate the at least one light source to illuminate the user when the sensor detects the presence of the user in front of the mirror assembly; wherein the controller is configured to gradually increase a level of light emitted from the at least one light source when the at least one light source is activated. - View Dependent Claims (37, 38)

39. A mirror assembly comprising:
-
a mirror; at least one light source disposed at a periphery of the mirror that emits light; a light-conveying pathway configured to receive light from the at least one light source and to convey the light along a periphery of the mirror at a generally even or a generally uniform intensity; a sensor configured to detect ambient light; a reflective surface positioned along the light-conveying pathway; and a controller configured to activate the at least one light source and to deactivate the at least one light source, wherein a brightness of the emitted light is affected by a level of the detected ambient light. - View Dependent Claims (40)
