Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[001] Present invention relates to a position controlling system for a side-view mirror of a vehicle. The present invention also relates to a method of operating the position controlling system.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[002] It is a known fact that vehicles, during operation, typically induce vibrations. These vibrations are induced through inertial imbalance forces generated in an engine of the vehicle or through combustion forces and road undulations on a travel path of the vehicle. These vibrations are transferred to components of the vehicle body, including side-view mirrors of the vehicle. Transfer of the vibrations to the side-view mirror may induce oscillations resulting in a blurred vision. Even at a high speed or at a cruising speed of the vehicle, vision in the side-view mirror is shaky or is completely lost to a rider of the vehicle, which may result in unpredictability of distance of oncoming vehicles. Moreover, vibrations may result in deviation in an angle of the side-view mirror. Thus, the desired position of the side-view mirror for proper viewing of an oncoming object is affected to the rider. As a result, disturbed angle of the side-view mirror may confuse the rider regarding position of the oncoming object visible in the side-view mirror, which is undesirable.
[003] Thus, there is a need for a position controlling system for a side-view mirror of a vehicle, which addresses at least the aforementioned problems.

The vehicle may be powered by an internal combustion engine, an electric vehicle or a hybrid-electric vehicle.
[027] Figure 1 illustrates a position controlling system 100 in a vehicle, in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. The position controlling system 100 (hereinafter referred to as ‘system 100’) is adapted to dampen vibrations induced in a side-view mirror 106 (as shown in Figures 2 and 4) of the vehicle (not shown). The system 100 may also enable automatic adjustment of the side-view mirror 106 in accordance with a driving mode of the vehicle. In an embodiment, the vehicle may be a two-wheeled vehicle, a three-wheeled vehicle, a four-wheeled vehicle or a multi-wheeled vehicle. The vehicle may be powered by an internal combustion engine or an electric motor or a hybrid-electric motor as per requirement.
[028] Referring to Figure 2 in conjunction with Figure 1, the side-view mirror 106 of the vehicle is depicted. The side-view mirror 106 has a casing 118 and a mirror surface 120 mounted to the casing. The casing 118 has a connector member 116 which extend as an arm and is attached to a support bracket 114. The side-view mirror 106 is mounted on a handlebar (not shown) of the vehicle through the support bracket 114, when the vehicle is the two-wheeled vehicle or the three-wheeled vehicle. In an embodiment, the side-view mirror 106 may be mounted to a vehicle body, when the vehicle is the four-wheeled vehicle. The side-view mirror 106 may be connected to the connector member 116 such that, a rider of the vehicle is capable of adjusting position of the side-view mirror 106 as per requirement. In an embodiment, the side-view mirror 106 is connected to the support bracket 114 through a ball joint mechanism (not shown). The side-view mirror 106 is positioned at a rider preferred angle facing the rider for viewing a sideward portion of the vehicle. In the present disclosure the term “rider preferred angle” is an angle at which the rider positions the side-view mirror 106 on the handlebar for the purpose of viewing areas behind and to the sides of the vehicle, outside a peripheral vision of the rider. In an embodiment, the rider positions the side-view mirror 106 to the rider preferred angle with respect to an axis X-X’ extending axially from the connector member 116. Accordingly, the rider preferred angle is determined with respect to axis X-X’. In an embodiment, the rider preferred angle is in the range of 20 degrees to 60 degrees.
[029] Referring to Figures 3 and 4, the system 100 comprises of an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) 104 disposed on a rear side of the side-view mirror 106. In the present embodiment, the IMU 104 is mounted on an inner surface of the casing (as shown in Figure 4) for mounting the IMU 104 onto the rear-side of the side-view mirror 106. In an embodiment, the IMU 104 is mounted on the rear side of the side-view mirror 106 through conventional mounting techniques known in the art such as fastening, welding and the like. The IMU 104 comprises of one or more gyroscopes (not shown) for monitoring inclination of the side-view mirror 106. the IMU 104 also comprises one or more accelerometers (not shown) for obtaining the rate of inclination of the side view-mirror 106 and also for determining vibration of the side-view mirror 106. The IMU 104 is configured to procure at least one of a position data and a vibration data of the side-view mirror 106. In an embodiment, the position data of the side-view mirror 106 pertains to the position of the side-view mirror 106 with respect to an axis (X-X’) of the support bracket 114 of the side-view mirror 106 (shown in Figure 2). In an embodiment, the vibration data of the side-view mirror 106 pertains to vibrations transferred to the side-view mirror 106 through the connecting member 116, during vehicle operation.
[030] Further, the position controlling system 100 comprises of one or more actuators 108 coupled to the side-view mirror 106. The one or more actuators 108 are adapted to adjust a position of the side-view mirror 106 to the rider preferred angle. The one or more actuators 108 are also adapted to adjust vibrations induced in the side-view mirror 106. In an embodiment, the one or more actuators 108 adjust position of the side-view mirror 106 by actuating the side view mirror 106 to the rider preferred angle, when a deviation in angle of the side-view mirror 106 with respect to the axis X-X’ is observed. When the deviation is observed from the rider preferred angle, the one or more actuators 108 operate the side-view mirror 106 to the rider preferred angle. In an embodiment, the one or more actuators 108 provide reverse compensation movement for dampening the vibrations.
[031] The position controlling system 100 further comprises of a control unit 102. The control unit 102 is disposed in the vehicle. The control unit 102 is communicatively coupled to the IMU 104 and the one or more actuators 108. The control unit 102 is configured to receive at least one of the position data and the vibration data from the IMU 104. The control unit 102 determines at least one of the position of the side-view mirror 106 based on the position data received from the IMU 104 and determines the vibrations induced in the side-view mirror 106 based on the vibration data received from the IMU 104. In an embodiment, the control unit 102 determines the position of the side-view mirror 106 through a position control model employing one or more machine learning techniques, based on the position data received from the IMU 104. Similarly, the control unit 102 using the one or more machine learning techniques may determine the vibrations induced in the side-view mirror 106 based on the vibration data received from the IMU 104.
[032] Further, the control unit 102 is also communicably coupled to one or more sensors 110 and a navigation module 112. The one or more sensors 110 are disposed in the vehicle and are adapted to procure one or more vehicle information of the vehicle. In an embodiment, the one or more sensors 110 includes a vehicle speed sensor disposed in a wheel of the vehicle. The one or more sensors 110 further includes a throttle position sensor disposed in a throttle body of the vehicle and an engine speed sensor disposed on a crankshaft of the vehicle. The control unit 102 is configured to determine one or more vehicle parameters of the vehicle based on the one or more vehicle information. In an embodiment, the set of vehicle parameters includes a vehicle speed and an engine speed of the vehicle. The navigation module 112 is configured to obtain one or more vehicle position parameters. In a further embodiment, the one or more vehicle position parameters includes a GPS location of the vehicle and a terrain information.
[033] Further, in an embodiment, the control unit 102 is configured to determine a vehicle drive mode based on at least one of the one or more vehicle position parameters from the navigation module 112 and/or the one or more vehicle parameters. In an embodiment, the vehicle drive mode comprises one of: a city drive mode, a cruise drive mode, an economy drive mode, a sport drive mode and a terrain drive mode. In an embodiment, the vibrations induced in each of the drive modes of the vehicle varies, depending on the engine speed and the travel path of the vehicle. As an example, the vibrations induced in the terrain drive mode will be higher than the economy mode, since the engine may be operated at higher engine speeds and also travel path may be an off-road or undulated terrain in the terrain drive mode. Accordingly, the position of the side-view mirror 106 may alter corresponding to the vibrations induced in each of the drive modes of the vehicle. As an example, due to higher vibrations induced in the terrain drive mode than in the economy mode, the position of the side-view mirror 106 alters at a higher rate in the terrain drive mode than in the economy mode.
[034] In an embodiment, the vehicle position parameters received from the navigation module 112 may be information pertaining to the travel path of the vehicle. Based on the information pertaining to the travel path, the control unit 102 may determine the terrain of the travel path, and accordingly determine the vehicle drive mode that is suitable for the terrain. As an example, if the control unit 102 determines that the vehicle is travelling in the undulated terrain, the control unit 102 may select the terrain drive mode for operating the vehicle. Similarly, if the control unit 102 determines that the vehicle is travelling in a city area, the control unit 102 may select the city drive mode for operating the vehicle.
[035] In an embodiment, the rider preferred angle of the side-view mirror 106 may be identical for each of the drive modes of the vehicle. In another embodiment, the rider preferred angle of the side-view mirror 106 may vary for each of the drive modes of the vehicle. Accordingly, the system 100 may automatically adjust the side-view mirror 106 to the corresponding rider preferred angle when the mode of operation of the vehicle changes. As an example, the rider may prefer a narrow side-rear view during the city drive mode, while preferring a wide side-rear view during the cruise drive mode. Accordingly, when the system 100 determines change in the drive mode of the vehicle from the city drive mode to the cruise drive mode, the position of the side-view mirror 106 is adjusted to provide wider side-rear view of the vehicle.
[036] In an embodiment, the city drive mode may be a vehicle drive mode, wherein performance of an engine of the vehicle is adjusted to deliver high torque at lower engine speeds to enhancing manoeuvrability of the vehicle in traffic. In an embodiment, the cruise drive mode may be the vehicle drive mode, wherein performance of the engine is adjusted to operate the vehicle at a steady speed. In an embodiment, the economy drive mode may be the vehicle drive mode, wherein performance of the engine is adjusted to deliver low torque and low power output for operating the vehicle, while enhancing fuel efficiency. In an embodiment, the sport drive mode may be the vehicle drive mode, wherein performance of the engine is adjusted to deliver high torque and high-power output for operating the vehicle. In an embodiment, the terrain drive mode may be the vehicle drive mode, wherein performance of the vehicle is adjusted to deliver high torque at lower engine speeds.
[037] In an embodiment, the control unit 102 is communicably coupled to an instrument cluster (not shown) of the vehicle, the instrument cluster being adapted to enable selection of a vehicle drive mode by the rider for operation of the vehicle in the preferred drive mode. In an embodiment, the control unit 102 is adapted to determine the position of the side-view mirror 106 corresponding to the vehicle drive mode, based on a position control model.
[038] In an embodiment, the position control model is the technique where the control unit 102 uses the one or more machine learning techniques to determine at least one of the position of the side-view mirror 106 based on the position data received from the IMU 104. Similarly, the control unit 102 uses the one or more machine learning techniques determines the vibrations induced in the side-view mirror 106 based on the vibration data received from the IMU 104.
[039] Further, the control unit 102 operates the one or more actuators 108 for at least one of adjusting a position of the side-view mirror 106 and dampen the vibrations induced in the side-view mirror 106, when at least one of the position of the side-view mirror 106 being deviating from the rider preferred angle and the vibrations induced in the side-view mirror 106 exceeds a threshold value, thereby controlling the position of the side-view mirror 106 on the vehicle.
[040] In an embodiment, the one or more actuators 108 is a linear or a rotatory actuator. The one or more actuators 108 adjust position of the side-view mirror 106 by actuating the side-view mirror 106 to the rider preferred angle, when a deviation in angle of the side-view mirror 106 with respect to the axis X-X’ is observed. Also, the one or more actuators 108 actuates the side view mirror 106 to dampen the vibration induced in the side-view mirror 106 when the vibrations induced in the side-view mirror 106 exceeds a threshold value. While adjusting the position, the vibrations transmitted to the side-view mirror 106 may be attenuated through counter vibrations provided by the one or more actuators 108. In an embodiment, the control unit 102 may determine the counter vibrations to be provided based on the vehicle drive mode, so that the vibrations transmitted to the side-view mirror 106 during operation of the vehicle are dampened.
[041] In an embodiment, a control switch disposed in the vehicle and is communicably coupled to the control unit 102. The control switch (not shown) is operable between a switch-ON position and a switch-OFF position. The control unit 102 is adapted to operate the one or more actuators 108 for at least one of the adjusting position of the side-view mirror 106 and/or dampen the vibration induced in the side-view mirror 106 when the control switch is operated to the switch-ON position. In an embodiment, during the switch-ON position of the control switch, the control unit 102 is adapted to adjust position of the side-view mirror 106 to the rider preferred angle when a speed of the vehicle is below a predetermined speed; and dampen vibrations induced in the side-view mirror 106 through operation of the one or more actuators 108, when the speed of the vehicle exceeds a threshold speed. In an embodiment, when the control switch is operated to the switch-OFF position, the adjustment of position of the side-view mirror 106 and the dampening of the vibration induced in the side-view mirror 106 by the operation of one or more actuators 108 is disabled. At this juncture, the adjustment of position of the side-view mirror 106 is adjusted manually.
[042] For the sake of brevity, only the left side-view mirror (referenced as 106) is considered in the present disclosure. Accordingly, it is apparent that the control unit 102 operates a right side-view mirror (not shown) in the manner identical to the left side-view mirror, within the ambit of the present disclosure.

[044] At step 502, the control unit 102 selects a default drive mode of the vehicle when ignition is ON in the vehicle. In an embodiment, the default vehicle drive mode is the city ride mode. At step 504, GPS data is received from a mobile device such as a smart phone of the rider. The GPS data includes at least one of a weather condition, a terrain condition and a traffic condition.
[045] Thereafter, at step 506, the GPS data is processed by the instrument cluster and converted to Controller Area Network (CAN) data. In an embodiment, instrument cluster comprises a controller capable of processing the GPS data into CAN data.
[046] At step 508, the GPS data is transferred from cluster to Engine Management System (EMS) Electronic Control Unit (ECU) via CAN. Thereafter, the control unit 102 moves to step 510 wherein, the EMS ECU calculates the required speed and required torque for the vehicle based on the GPS coordinates and weather data.
[047] At step 512, as per calculated speed and torque, the EMS ECU decides the vehicle drive mode of the vehicle. The control unit 102 then moves to step 514, wherein the vehicle drive mode decided by the EMS ECU is communicated to instrument cluster via CAN. At step 516, the vehicle drive mode is displayed in the instrument cluster when the vehicle continues to run in the vehicle drive mode. At step 518, an update alert regarding the drive mode change is sent to the mobile device. In an embodiment, corresponding to the vehicle vehicle drive mode the control unit 102 adjusts the position of the side-view mirror 106.
[048] Figure 6 is a flow diagram of a method 600 depicting operation of the system 100 for controlling position of the side-view mirror 106 of the Vehicle, in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
[049] At step 602, the Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) 104 disposed in a side-view mirror is adapted to procure at least one of a position data and a vibration data of the side-view mirror 106. The Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) 104 is disposed in the side-view mirror 106.

[051] At step 608, the control unit 102 is adapted to operating the one or more actuators 108 for adjusting the position of the side-view mirror 106 and/or dampen the vibrations induced in the side-view mirror 106, when the position of the side-view mirror 106 is deviating from the rider preferred angle and/or the vibrations induced in the side-view mirror 106 exceeds the threshold value (as described in description pertaining to Figures 1-5). Thus, controlling the vibration for the side-view mirror 106 in the vehicle.
