PARKING ASSIST SYSTEM, PARKING ASSIST METHOD, AND A NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18465980 titled 'PARKING ASSIST SYSTEM, PARKING ASSIST METHOD, AND A NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The parking assistance system described in the patent application allows for remote control of a vehicle for parking purposes. The system includes a remote control device, a surrounding sensor, and a processor that helps guide the vehicle to a parking spot and correct its position.
- Remote control device for controlling the vehicle from outside
- Surrounding sensor for acquiring information about the surroundings
- Processor for specifying a parking spot, setting a target position, setting a route, and moving the vehicle to the target position
- Remote control device for correcting the position of the vehicle after reaching the target position
Potential Applications
The technology can be applied in self-parking systems for vehicles, autonomous parking systems, and valet parking services.
Problems Solved
The system helps drivers park their vehicles more accurately and efficiently, reducing the risk of accidents and damage to the vehicle or surrounding objects.
Benefits
- Improved parking accuracy - Convenience for drivers - Reduced stress and time spent on parking
Potential Commercial Applications
- Automotive industry for self-parking features - Parking management companies for automated parking solutions
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of parking sensors and cameras in vehicles to assist drivers in parking. However, the remote control aspect of this system sets it apart from traditional parking assistance technologies.
What are the safety features of this system?
The safety features of this system include the ability to remotely control the vehicle from outside, ensuring the user can monitor the parking process from a safe distance. Additionally, the system corrects the position of the vehicle after reaching the target position, reducing the risk of collisions or accidents during the parking process.
How does this system handle different types of parking spots?
The system uses the surrounding sensor to acquire information about the target object and specifies a parking spot based on this information. The processor then sets a target position and route to navigate the vehicle to the desired spot, making it adaptable to various types of parking spaces such as parallel, perpendicular, or angled parking spots.
Original Abstract Submitted
A parking assistance system includes a remote control device that transmits a signal for remotely controlling the own vehicle from outside the vehicle in response to an operation by the user, a surrounding sensor that acquires surrounding information that is information about a target object, a processor specifies a parking spot in which the own vehicle is parked based on the surrounding information, a function of setting a target position inside the parking spot, a function of setting a route to the target position, and a processor having a function of moving the own vehicle along the route to reach the target position and waiting in response to the first signal. After the own vehicle reaches the target position, the remote control device transmits a second signal for correcting the position of the own vehicle, and the processor moves the own vehicle in response to the second signal.
