DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0028] In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of embodiments of the present invention. It will be apparent to one skilled in the art that embodiments of the present invention may be practiced without some of these specific details.
[0029] If the specification states a component or feature "may", "can", "could", or "might" be included or have a characteristic, that particular component or feature is not required to be included or have the characteristic.
[0030] As used herein the description and throughout the claims that follow, the meaning of "a," "an," and "the" includes plural reference unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. Also, as used in the description herein, the meaning of "in" includes "in" and "on" unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. [0031] While embodiments of the present invention have been illustrated and described in the accompanying drawings, the embodiments are offered only in as much detail as to clearly communicate the disclosure and are not intended to limit the numerous equivalents, changes, variations, substitutions and modifications falling within the spirit and scope of the present disclosure as defined by the appended claims.

[0032] The terms "turn on and off, "turning on and off, "blink", "blinking", "switching" in context of the indicator lights of the vehicle as used herein meaning alternatively turning on and off the blinking of the indicator lights after a pre-determined time duration. The terms "vehicle" and "automobile" are used interchangeably in the present disclosure.
[0033] FIG. 1 illustrates an indicating and parking light system (100) of the
prior art. The indicating and parking light system (100) includes a parking light
switch (102), a relay for parking lights or parking light relay (104), an indicator
switch (106), a pair of indicator light relays (108a, 108b) and a number of indicator
lights (110a, 110b, 110c and 1 lOd) positioned on either side of the vehicle.
[0034] The parking light switch (102) can be operatively coupled to the
parking light relay (104). The indicator switch (106) can be operatively coupled to the indicator light relay (108). The parking light relay (104) and the indicator light relay (108) can be operatively coupled to the number of indicator lights (110). [0035] The parking light switch (102),when actuated configured to activate the parking light relay (104). The parking light relay (104) can be configured to turn on the blinking of the indicator lights (110). The indicator switch (106), when actuated configured to activate the indicator light relay (108). The indicator light relay (108) can be configured to turn on the blinking of the left side indicator lights (110a, 110b) or the right side indicator lights (110c, HOd) of the vehicle. For instance, activation of the left side indicator light relay (108a) can be configured to turn on blinking of the left side indicator lights (110a, 110b) that are positioned on left side of the vehicle (when seen from rear of the vehicle) and activation of the right side indicator light relay (108b) can be configured to turn on the blinking of the right side indicator lights (110c, 1 lOd) positioned on right side of the vehicle (when seen from rear of the vehicle).
[0036] Now, in case all the indicator lights (110) of the left side and the right side of the vehicle are blinking by the activation of the parking light relay (104) then indication of left or right direction by the vehicle upon actuation of the indicator switch (106) would not work. The indicator light relay (108) upon activation would not able to distinguish the direction of turn to be taken by the

vehicle as all the indicator lights (110) are blinking by already the activated parking light relay (104). This arise a need to deactivate the parking light relay (104) upon activation of the indicator light relay (108) in order to turn off all the indicator lights (110) and turning on the indicator lights (110) of one particular side of which the indicator light relay (108) can be activated.
[0037] In an exemplary embodiment, the indicator lights (110) positioned on the left side and the right side of the automobile are configured to blink due to foggy or rainy season by the activation of the parking light relay (104). [0038] FIG. 2 illustrates a block diagram of the proposed indicator and parking light system (200), in accordance with the present disclosure. The indicating and parking light system (200) (interchangeably referred to as system (200), herein) includes a parking light switch (202), an electronic control unit (ECU) (203), an auxiliary relay (205), a relay for parking lights or parking light relay (204), an indicator switch (206), a pair of indicator light relays (208a, 208b) and a number of indicator lights (210a, 210b, 210c and 210d) positioned on either side of the vehicle. [0039] In an embodiment, the ECU (203) can obtain a first input at (203a), a second input at (203b), and a third input at (203 c) and consequently the system (200) can produce an output at (203d). The parking light switch (202) can be operatively coupled to the ECU (203) for obtaining the first input at (203a) of the ECU (203). The ECU (203) can be operatively coupled upstream to the auxiliary relay (205) to produce the output at (203d) of the ECU (203). The indicator switch (206) can be operatively coupled to the indicator light relay (208). The parking light relay (204) and the indicator relay (208) are operatively coupled to the indicator lights (210). The left indicator light relay (208a) can be operatively coupled with the ECU (203) to obtain the second input at (203b) and the right indicator light relay (208b) can be operatively coupled with the ECU (203) to obtain the third input at (203c) of the ECU (203).
[0040] In an embodiment, during operation, the parking light switch (202) can be configured to give the first input at (203a) of the ECU (203) upon actuation of the parking light switch (202). The ECU (203) after receiving the actuating input from the parking light switch (202) activates the auxiliary relay (205). The

activation of the auxiliary relay (205) enables the activation of the parking light relay (204) and eventually turning on blinking all the indicator lights (210) positioned on either side of the vehicle. The indicator switch (206), when actuated configured to activate the indicator light relay (208) and eventually turning on blinking of the left side indicator lights (210a, 210b) positioned on left side of the vehicle or the right side indicator lights (210c, 210d) positioned on right side of the vehicle.
[0041] In an embodiment, when the parking light relay (204) can be activated, then all the indicator lights (210) of the vehicle are blinking. Now, in case, the automobile needs to take a turn while the parking light relay (204) can be activated, the indicator switch (206) can be actuated. The actuation of the indicator switch (206) provides the second input at (203b) of the ECU (203) and the third input at (203c) of the ECU (203). The ECU (203) after receiving input from the indicator switch (206) deactivates the parking light relay (204) by deactivating the auxiliary relay (205).The ECU (203) can be configured to store the last state (on/off) of the parking light switch (202) and the state of the auxiliary relay (205). The deactivation of the parking light relay (204) turn off blinking of all the indicator lights (210)upon actuation of the indicator switch (206) so that the indicating lights (210) of left side or right side of the vehicle remains blinking. The deactivation of the parking light relay (204) upon actuation of the indicator switch (206) enables to clearly distinguish the direction to be taken by the vehicle after turn. [0042] In an exemplary embodiment, the indicator lights (210) of the automobile are blinking as may be required in foggy or rainy seasons. [0043] In an embodiment, for instance, initially the parking light relay (204) can be activated and all the indicator lights (210) of the vehicle are blinking. Now the driver wants to take left turn and accordingly he actuates the indicator switch (206). The actuation of the indicator switch (206) enables the activation of the left indicator light relay (208a) and deactivates the already activated parking light relay (204) by providing the second input at (203b) of the ECU. Thus, actuation of the indicator switch (206) only blinks the left side indicator lights (210a, 210b) that are

positioned on left side of the vehicle. The same mechanism can be used for right side indicator lights (210c, 210d) positioned on right side of the vehicle. [0044] In an embodiment, the indicator lights (210) are positioned on the front and the rear side of the vehicle. In an embodiment, the indicator light (210 can be an LED. The LED may be of yellow, orange or red in color. [0045] In an embodiment, the indicator switch (206) can be lever projecting from the lower side of the steering of the vehicle.
[0046] In an embodiment, the parking light switch (202) can be positioned at the centre of a dash-board (not shown) of the vehicle.

The memory (306) can store one or more computer-readable instructions or routines, which may be fetched and executed to create or share the data units over a network service. The memory (306) can include any non-transitory storage device including, for example, volatile memory such as RAM, or non-volatile memory such as EPROM, flash memory, and the like. [0050] In an embodiment, the interface(s) (308). The interface(s) (308) may include a variety of interfaces, for example, interfaces for data input and output devices, referred to as I/O devices, storage devices, and the like. The interface(s) (308) may facilitate communication of the processor (304) with various devices coupled to the processor (304). The interface(s) (308) may also provide a

communication pathway for one or more components of the processor (304). Examples of such components include, but are not limited to, the processing engine(s) (310) and the database (318).
[0051] In an embodiment, the processor (304) can be implemented as a combination of hardware and programming (for example, programmable instructions) to implement one or more functionalities of the processor (304). In examples described herein, such combinations of hardware and programming may be implemented in several different ways. For example, the programming for the processor(304) may be processor executable instructions stored on a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium and the hardware for the processor(304) may include a processing resource (for example, one or more processors), to execute such instructions. In the present examples, the machine-readable storage medium may store instructions that, when executed by the processing resource, implement the processor (304). In such examples, the processor (304) can include the machine-readable storage medium storing the instructions and the processing resource to execute the instructions, or the machine-readable storage medium may be separate but accessible to processor (304) and the processing resource. In other examples, the processor (304) may be implemented by an electronic circuitry. The database (318) can include data that can be either stored or generated as a result of functionalities implemented by any of the components of the processor (304). [0052] In an embodiment, the miscellaneous unit(s) (316) can implement functionalities that supplement applications or functions performed by the processor (304).
[0053] In an embodiment, the database (318) can include data that can be either stored or generated as a result of functionalities implemented by any of the components of the processor (304).
[0054] It would be appreciated that units being described are only exemplary units and any other unit or sub-unit may be included as part of the processor (304). These units too may be merged or divided into super- units or sub-units as may be configured.

[0055] The processor (304) can be in communication with the memory (306) and the interface (308). The interface (308) can be configured with the first input (203 a), the second input (203b), the third input (203 c) and the output (203 d) of the ECU (203).The extraction unit (312) can be configured to extract or detect the recent state of the activation of the auxiliary relay (205) and consequently actuation of parking light switch (202). The signal generation unit (314) can be configured to generate a signal that can be transmitted to the auxiliary relay (205). [0056] In an embodiment, during operation, upon actuating the parking light switch (202), a first input signal to the ECU (203) can be provided through the first input (203a) of the ECU (203). The interface (308) of the ECU (203) transmit the first input signal to the processor (304) for processing and executing the instructions associated with the first input signal that can activate the auxiliary relay (205). The activation of the auxiliary relay (205) turns on the indicator lights (210) provided on either sides of the automobile. Upon actuation of the indicator switch (206) a second input signal can be provided to the ECU (203) through the second input (203b) or the third input (203c) of the ECU (203). The interface (308) of the ECU (203) transmits the second input signal to the processor (304) for processing and executing the instructions associated with the second input signal that can activate either of the left indicator light relay (208a) or the right indicator light relay (208b) for blinking of the left side indicator lights (210a, 210b) or the right side indicator lights (210c, 210d) respectively. Upon receipt of the second input signal through the second input (203b) of the ECU (203), the extraction unit (304) of the processing engine (310) can be configured to extract the recent state of the activation of the auxiliary relay (205) and consequently actuating the parking light switch (202). Upon extraction of the recent state of the actuation of the parking light switch (202), the signal generation unit (314) of the processing engine (310) transmits a signal to the interface (308) and eventually to the processor (304). The processor (304) on receipt of such signal can be configured to cut-off the supply to all the indicator lights (210) and retains the supply for the left side indicator lights (210a, 210b) or the right side indicator lights (210c, 210d). The ECU (203) can be configured to transmit a cut-off signal to the auxiliary relay (205) through the output

(203d) of the ECU (203).Therefore, the indicator and parking light system (200) enables automatic cutting off the supply to the already actuated parking lights or all the indicator lights (210) when the indicator switch (206) of the vehicle can be actuated.
[0057] In an exemplary embodiment, when the driver wishes to take a left turn and accordingly presses the indicator switch (206) for left side then the input signal can be provided to the ECU (203) through the second input (203b) of the ECU (203). The interface (308) of the ECU (203) transmits the input signal to the processor (304) for processing and executing the instructions associated with the input signal that can activate the left indicator light relay (208a) for blinking of the left side indicator lights (210a, 210b). Upon receipt of the input signal through the second input (203b) of the ECU (203), the extraction unit (304) of the processing engine (310) can be configured to extract the recent state of the activation of the auxiliary relay (205) and consequently actuation of parking light switch (202). Upon extraction of the recent state of the actuation of the parking light switch (202), the signal generation unit (314) of the processing engine (310) transmits a signal to the interface (308) and eventually to the processor (304). The processor (304) on receipt of such signal can be configured to cut-off the supply to all the indicator lights (210) and retains the supply for the left side indicator lights (210a, 210b). [0058] Fig. 4 illustrates a method (400) of switching between a parking light mode and an indicator light mode for an automobile, according to an aspect of the present disclosure.
[0059] In an embodiment, the method (400) can include at block (402), blinking of a number of indicator lights(210)positioned on either side of the automobile by a parking light relay (204), which pertains to enable the parking light mode for the automobile.
[0060] In an embodiment, at block (404), blinking a pair of indicator lights among the number of indicator lights (210) positioned on pre-defined side of the automobile by an indicator switch (206), which pertains to enable the indicator light mode for the automobile.

[0061] In an embodiment, at block (406), enabling the indicator light mode for the automobile by actuation of the indicator switch (206) configured to disable the parking light mode for the automobile by an electronic control unit (ECU) (203). [0062] In an embodiment, during operation, upon actuating the parking light switch (202), a first input signal can be provided at the first input (203a) of the ECU (203). The interface (308) of the ECU (203) transmit the first input signal to the processor (304) for processing and executing the instructions associated with the first input signal that can activate the auxiliary relay (205). The activation of the auxiliary relay (205) turns on the indicator lights (210) provided on either sides of the automobile and eventually enabling the automobile to exhibit the parking light mode. Upon actuation of the indicator switch (206) a second input signal can be provided at the second input (203b) or the third input (203c) of the ECU (203). The interface (308) of the ECU (203) transmits the second input signal to the processor (304) for processing and executing the instructions associated with the second input signal that can activate either of the left indicator light relay (208a) or the right indicator light relay (208b) for blinking of the left side indicator lights (210a, 210b) or the right side indicator lights (210c, 210d) respectively, and eventually enabling the automobile to exhibit the indicator light mode. Upon receipt of the second input signal at the second input (203b) of the ECU (203), the extraction unit (304) of the processing engine (310) can be configured to extract the recent state of the activation of the auxiliary relay (205) and consequently actuating the parking light switch (202). Upon extraction of the recent state of the actuation of the parking light switch (202), the signal generation unit (314) of the processing engine (310) transmits a signal to the interface (308) and eventually to the processor (304). The processor (304) on receipt of such signal can be configured to cut-off the supply to all the indicator lights (210) and retains the supply for the left side indicator lights (210a, 210b) or the right side indicator lights (210c, 210d). The ECU (203) can be configured to transmit a cut-off or an over-ride signal to the auxiliary relay (205) at the output (203d) of the ECU (203). Therefore, the indicator and parking light system (200) enables automatic cutting off or over-riding the supply to the already

actuated parking lights or all the indicator lights (210) when the indicator switch (206) of the vehicle can be actuated.
[0063] In an exemplary embodiment of the second aspect of the present disclosure, the driver wishes to take a left turn and consequently actuates the indicator switch (206) for left side, when the automobile can already exhibiting the parking light mode, then the input signal can be provided to the ECU (203) at the second input (203b) of the ECU (203). The interface (308) of the ECU (203) transmits the input signal to the processor (304) for processing and executing the instructions associated with the input signal that can activate the left indicator light relay (208a) for blinking of the left side indicator lights (210a, 210b). Upon receipt of the input signal through the second input (203b) of the ECU (203), the extraction unit (304) of the processing engine (310) can be configured to extract the recent state of the activation of the auxiliary relay (205) and consequently actuation of parking light switch (202). Upon extraction of the recent state of the actuation of the parking light switch (202), the signal generation unit (314) of the processing engine (310) transmits a signal to the interface (308) and eventually to the processor (304). The processor (304) on receipt of such signal can be configured to over-ride or cut-off the supply to all the indicator lights (210) and retains the supply for the left side indicator lights (210a, 210b) and eventually enabling the indicator light mode for the automobile.
