Lighting tool for vehicle, illumination system and lamp control method
First Claim
1. A lighting tool for a vehicle comprising:
- a first power source mounted on the vehicle for providing electric power;
a lamp for the vehicle attached to the vehicle and operated with first electric power supplied from the first power source;
a detection unit configured to detect a waveform of the first electric power supplied from the first power source;
a generation unit configured to generate a first control signal that is a signal controlling the lamp for the vehicle according to the waveform of the first electric power detected by the detection unit;
an output control unit configured to superimpose the first control signal generated by the generation unit on the first electric power supplied from the first power source and wirelessly transmit the signal obtained by the superimposition from a power transmission section;
a conversion unit configured to acquire a second control signal based on the signal received by a power receiving section configured to receive the signal wirelessly transmitted from the power transmission section provided on the lamp for the vehicle; and
a lamp control unit configured to control the lamp for the vehicle according to the second control signal acquired by the conversion unit.
