First Claim
Patent Images
1. A display system for use in a controlled vehicle, comprising:
- a rearview assembly having a display device located behind a mirror element;
a camera system configured to acquire images of a rearward scene external of the controlled vehicle; and
a processing system configured to receive a signal representative of the acquired images and to produce images of the scene on the display device of the rearview assembly, wherein the processing system is further configured to adjust the photosensitivity of the camera system based on inputs from both a forward-facing ambient light sensor and a rearward-facing direct glare sensor.

10. A display system for displaying video images of a scene acquired by a camera system onto a rearview assembly of a vehicle, the display system comprising:
-
a display device positioned behind a mirror element of the rearview assembly; and a processing system configured to receive signals representative of the acquired video images and to produce images of the scene on the display device of the rearview assembly, wherein the processing system is further configured to adjust the integration time of the camera system based on inputs from both an ambient light sensor and a direct glare sensor, where the direct glare sensor senses light from the same direction as the camera system acquires the video images of the scene and the ambient light sensor senses light from the opposite direction of the direct glare sensor. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13)

14. A display system for use in a controlled vehicle, comprising:
-
a rearview assembly having a display device located behind a mirror element; a camera system configured to acquire video images of a scene external of the controlled vehicle; and a processing system configured to receive signals representative of the acquired video images to produce images of the scene on the display device of the rearview assembly, wherein the processing system is further configured to generate a multiplexed signal that is used to adjust the integration time of the camera system based on inputs from two light sensors that capture light from opposite directions. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
