And now its latest patent wants to use this technology to control a car's window wipers.
现在其最新的专利想利用这一技术来控制汽车的雨刷。
It details a system in which every time the driver looks in their rear-view mirror the wipers on the rear window are activated automatically.
专利中详细介绍了一个系统,每次司机看后视镜的时候后窗雨刷自动被激活。
However, the filing hints that it could potentially work with wipers on the front windscreen too.
然而,文件暗示司机的这一动作也可能使前挡风玻璃的雨刷被激活。
The patent, called 'Windscreen clearing system for a vehicle', was filed by Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) in March 2013 and awarded this week. It was originally spotted by Gizmag.

When a driver decides to observe the environment behind the vehicle by looking through the rear windscreen, typically using a rear-view mirror, the rear windscreen may not be wiped and may be obscured.
当司机想通过后挡风玻璃观察车后面的环境时,后风挡玻璃可能很久没擦,也可能模糊不清,因此司机通常只能使用后视镜来观察。
It is against this background that the present invention has been conceived.
正是在这种背景下,本发明才被设想出来。
JLR added that the patent refers to a windscreen wiper system for a vehicle 'and particularly, but not exclusively, to a rear windscreen wiper system' that operates automatically in response to detecting eye-movement of a driver of the vehicle toward a rear-view mirror.
JLR补充说,这项关于挡风玻璃雨刷系统的专利"主要针对但不仅限于后挡风玻璃雨刷系统",后者在探测到司机眼球朝后视镜方向移动时自动启用。
It is likely to take advantage of the eye-tracking Driver Monitor System (DMS) JLR announced in January.
它很可能利用了JLR在一月份宣布的眼球追踪司机监控系统(DMS)。
JLR, with support from Intel and Seeing Machines, has developed sensing technology that monitors the driver's face and eyes to reduce distracted and drowsy driving.
