CONTROL DEVICE AND MOVING BODY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18374384 titled 'CONTROL DEVICE AND MOVING BODY
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a control device for a display device mounted on a moving body that can automatically steer to a user-specified target position. The moving body can perpendicular or parallel park into the target position, with the control device displaying a top view image of the surroundings and a frame image indicating the target position. The top view image can be enlarged by user instruction, with the display range changing based on whether perpendicular or parallel parking is being performed.
- Moving body control device for display device
- Capable of perpendicular and parallel parking
- Displays top view image and frame image of target position
- Enlarges top view image based on user instruction
- Display range changes for different parking methods
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in autonomous parking systems for vehicles, improving accuracy and ease of parking in tight spaces.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of difficulty in parking in tight spaces, providing a visual aid to assist drivers in maneuvering their vehicle accurately into a target position.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved parking accuracy, reduced risk of collisions, and enhanced user experience in parking scenarios.
Potential Commercial Applications
One potential commercial application of this technology is in the automotive industry for integrating advanced parking assistance systems in vehicles.
Possible Prior Art
Prior art may include existing parking assistance systems in vehicles that provide visual aids for parking maneuvers.
Unanswered Questions
== How does the control device differentiate between perpendicular and parallel parking scenarios? The control device likely uses sensors to detect the orientation of the vehicle and adjust the display range accordingly.
== What types of moving bodies can this control device be mounted on? The control device can potentially be mounted on various types of vehicles, such as cars, trucks, or even autonomous drones, that require precise positioning in target locations.
Original Abstract Submitted
A control device for controlling a display device is mounted on a moving body that moves to a target position specified by a user by automatic steering. The moving body is configured to be capable of perpendicular parking into the target position and parallel parking into the target position. When the perpendicular parking or the parallel parking is performed, the control device causes the display device to display a top view image of the moving body and surroundings, and to display a frame image indicating a place set as the target position superimposed on the top view image. The control device is capable of enlarging and displaying the top view image according to an instruction from the user. The control device makes a display range when the top view image is enlarged and displayed different between when the perpendicular parking is performed and when the parallel parking is performed.
