PARKING ASSIST APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18049097 titled 'PARKING ASSIST APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a parking assist system that uses wireless communication to register and display the external appearance image of a power transmission unit of a wireless power supply device on a parking space image. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • The parking assist system registers the external appearance image of a power transmission unit of a wireless power supply device along with its identification information.
  • The system superimposes and displays a target parking area image on a parking space image.
  • The system also superimposes and displays the external appearance image associated with the identification information at the installation position of the power transmission unit on the parking space image.
  • The identification information is acquired from the wireless power supply device through wireless communication.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Parking assist systems in vehicles
  • Wireless power supply devices with parking assist capabilities

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Difficulty in accurately positioning a power transmission unit during parking
  • Lack of visual guidance for parking in tight spaces

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved accuracy and ease of parking by providing visual guidance
  • Enhanced safety by preventing collisions or damage during parking


Original Abstract Submitted

An external appearance image of a power transmission unit of a wireless power supply device is registered in a parking assist apparatus in association with identification information on the wireless power supply device. The parking assist apparatus superimposes and displays a target parking area image on a parking space image showing a parking space, and superimposes and displays the external appearance image associated with identification information having the same content as the identification information acquired from the wireless power supply device by wireless communication at a position corresponding to an installation position of the power transmission unit on the parking space image.
