Patent Images
1. A system for personalized vehicle ambient lighting on a vehicle, comprising:
- a vehicle entry sensor detecting presence information associated with a user;
a camera comprising an image sensor capturing image color information from an image taken by the camera;
a controller having a processor operably connected to the camera and controlling the camera to take the image when the user is in view of the camera;
an image processor extracting image color information associated with the user from the image and creating red, green, blue (RGB) color values indicative of a color associated with the user, wherein the processor for the controller generates a light emitting diode (LED) activation scheme based on the RGB color values associated with the user;
a first plurality of red, green, blue (RGB) LEDs; and
a first LED driver connected to the controller and the first plurality of RGB LEDs and activating portions of the first plurality of RGB LEDs based on the LED activation scheme to produce personalized vehicle ambient lighting having a color matching the color associated with the user.

Abstract
According to one aspect, personalized vehicle ambient lighting on a vehicle is provided. Presence information associated with a user is detected. Image color information is captured from an image is taken by a camera such that the user is within the image. Image color information associated with the user is extracted from the image. Red, green, blue (RGB) color values indicative of a color associated with the user are created. A light emitting diode (LED) activation scheme based on the RGB color values associated with the user is generated. Portions of a plurality of RGB LEDs are activated based on the LED activation scheme.
