Problems solved by technology

However, since the orientation of the mirrors in the vehicle is highly individual and thus perceived differently by each driver, fully automatic orientation of the mirrors cannot guarantee all desired and thus optimal orientations
As a result, there are times when adjustments that feel suboptimal

Embodiment Construction

[0017] The corresponding exterior rearview mirror 12 and rearview mirror 14 can be seen. A possible seating position 16 for the driver is visible on the left side of the interior of the motor vehicle 10 at the height of the position of the front seats. A possible viewing direction 18 of the driver extends in the direction of the exterior rearview mirror 12 or in the direction of the rearview mirror 14 . In a variant embodiment, a corresponding line of sight detection device 20 can be integrated in the mirrors 12 , 14 , wherein this line of sight detection device 20 is not further shown in the figures. In a variant embodiment, it may be provided that the driver's line of sight direction 18 is determined by means of a permanent sensor system which is a component of line of sight detection device 20 . It can also be provided that the line of sight detection device 20 has an infrared device by means of which the line of sight direction 18 is also determined in the dark.

Abstract

The invention relates to methods for adjusting a mirror (12, 14) for a motor vehicle (10), in which a viewing direction (18) of a driver is detected by at least one viewing detection device (20), and it is verified whether said viewing direction (18) of the driver is directed to the mirror (12, 14). The mirror (12, 14) located in the viewing direction (18) of the driver is adjusted, this adjustment of said mirror (12, 14) located in the driver's viewing direction (18) only taking place if an actuation of an operating element (22) for adjusting the mirror (12, 14) is also detected. The invention also relates to a device for adjusting a mirror (12, 14) for a motor vehicle (10).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for adjusting mirrors for motor vehicles of the type stated in the preamble of claim 1 and to a method for adjusting mirrors of the type stated in the preamble of claim 5 Equipment for mirrors of motor vehicles. Background technique [0002] A method for automatic mirror alignment in a vehicle is known from DE 10 2005 030 968 A1. Therein, a method is disclosed which provides for automatic alignment of mirrors in a vehicle by evaluating the driver's viewing direction. The electrodynamic adjustment of the corresponding mirror takes place in conjunction with the evaluation of the mirror plane over a period of time. However, since the orientation of the mirror in the vehicle is highly individual and therefore perceived differently by each driver, fully automatic orientation of the mirror cannot guarantee all desired and thus optimal orientations. As a result, adjustments sometimes appear that feel suboptimal. Contents...
