APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE DISPLAY OF AN IMAGE ON A MULTI-FUNCTION MIRROR
First Claim
1. An apparatus for controlling an image on a multi-function mirror, comprising:
- a processor;
memory;
an angle sensor that measures an angle of a multi-function mirror in a vehicle;
an operation sensing unit that senses an operation angle of the multi-function mirror from a value measured by the angle sensor;
a view changing unit that produces a view-changed image by changing a first view of the image taken by a first camera mounted on the vehicle based on the sensed operation angle; and
an output control unit that controls the first image taken by the camera to be displayed on the multi-function mirror, and controls a view-changed image corresponding to the adjusted angle of the multi-function mirror to be displayed on the multi-function mirror, when the angle of the multi-function mirror is adjusted while the image is displayed on the multi-function mirror.

Abstract
Disclosed herein are an apparatus and a method for controlling an image on a multi-function mirror, the apparatus for controlling an image on a multi-function mirror including: an angle sensor that measures the angle of a multi-function mirror in a vehicle; an operation sensing unit that senses the operation angle of the multi-function mirror from the value measured by the angle sensor; a view changing unit that produces a view-changed image by changing the view of an external image taken by a first camera mounted on the vehicle on the basis of the sensed operation angle of the room mirror; and an output control unit that controls the external image to be displayed on the multi-function mirror, and controls a view-changed image corresponding to the adjusted angle of the multi-function mirror to be displayed on the multi-function mirror.

10. A method for controlling an image on a multi-function mirror, the method comprising:
-
receiving an image from a camera disposed on a vehicle; displaying the image on a multi-function mirror; sensing an adjusted angle of the multi-function mirror when the multi-function mirror is adjusted while the image is displayed; producing a view-changed image by changing the view of the image to correspond to the sensed adjusted angle of the multi-function mirror; and displaying the view-changed image on the multi-function mirror. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A non-transitory computer readable medium containing program instructions executed by a processor or controller, the computer readable medium comprising:
-
program instructions that receive an image from a camera disposed on a vehicle; program instructions that display the image on a multi-function mirror; program instructions that sense an adjusted angle of the multi-function mirror when the multi-function mirror is adjusted while the image is displayed; program instructions that produce a view-changed image by changing the view of the image to correspond to the sensed adjusted angle of the multi-function mirror; and program instructions that display the view-changed image on the multi-function mirror.
