DEVICE AND METHOD FOR NOTIFICATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18375577 titled 'DEVICE AND METHOD FOR NOTIFICATION
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a notification device for a vehicle driver to park in a designated parking space, with a control device transmitting control information for parking travel control to the vehicle. If the vehicle is within a certain distance of the parking area and the travel controller cannot execute the parking travel control, the driver is notified via an output device mounted on the vehicle.
- The notification device alerts the driver to park in a specific parking space.
- The control device sends control information for parking travel control to the vehicle.
- If the vehicle is close to the parking area and the travel controller cannot execute the parking travel control, the driver is informed through an output device on the vehicle.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in smart parking systems to efficiently guide drivers to available parking spaces.
Problems Solved
This technology helps drivers navigate parking areas and find available parking spaces easily.
Benefits
The system enhances parking efficiency, reduces congestion, and improves overall traffic flow in parking areas.
Potential Commercial Applications
"Smart Parking Solutions: Enhancing Parking Efficiency with Advanced Technology"
Possible Prior Art
There are existing parking guidance systems that use sensors and cameras to direct drivers to available parking spaces, but this patent application focuses on notifying drivers when the travel controller is unable to execute parking travel control.
Unanswered Questions
How does the notification device determine when the travel controller is unable to execute parking travel control?
The abstract does not provide details on the specific criteria or sensors used to make this determination.
What type of communication network is used to transmit control information to the vehicle?
The abstract mentions a communication network but does not specify whether it is a wireless network, cellular network, or another type of network.
Original Abstract Submitted
A notification device notifies a driver of a vehicle to be parked in one of a plurality of parking spaces in a parking area including a control device that transmits control information for parking travel control of the vehicle heading for the assigned parking space to the vehicle via a communication network that the parking travel control is not executable, via an output device mounted on the vehicle, in the case where it is determined that the vehicle has arrived within the predetermined distance of the parking area, the travel controller is incapable of executing the parking travel control, and the driver is in the vehicle.
