PARKING ASSIST APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240134043 titled 'PARKING ASSIST APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The parking assist apparatus described in the patent application includes a sensor that detects objects using reflected waves, and a controller that assists in parking the vehicle based on the sensor's detection results. The controller provides a margin to the size of peripheral objects around the parking space, and adjusts the parking assist control accordingly.
- Sensor detects objects using reflected waves
- Controller assists in parking based on sensor's detection results
- Controller provides margin to size of peripheral objects
- Parking assist control adjusted based on size of detected objects
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in:
- Automotive industry for parking assistance systems

Problems Solved
This technology solves the following problems:
- Difficulty in parking in tight spaces
- Risk of collisions with surrounding objects while parking
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include:
- Enhanced safety during parking maneuvers
- Improved accuracy in parking in confined spaces
Potential Commercial Applications
This technology can be commercially be used in:
- Automotive industry for parking assist features in vehicles
- Parking management systems for efficient use of parking spaces
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art for this technology is the use of ultrasonic sensors in parking assist systems in vehicles.
What is the accuracy rate of the sensor in detecting objects?
The accuracy rate of the sensor in detecting objects is not specified in the abstract.
How does the controller adjust the parking assist control based on the size of the detected objects?
The abstract does not provide specific details on how the controller adjusts the parking assist control based on the size of the detected objects.
Original Abstract Submitted
the parking assist apparatus includes a sensor that detects an object by receiving a reflected wave reflected by the object by a transmitted wave, and a controller that executes parking assist control for parking the vehicle in a parking space set based on a detection result of the sensor. the controller provides a predetermined margin to a size of a peripheral object, which is an object detected by the sensor and exists around the parking space, in a provisional direction in which the parking space is narrowed. the controller executes parking assist control using a size of the peripheral object to which the margin is provided. when the size of the peripheral object newly detected by the sensor becomes larger than the size to which the margin is provided, the controller executes parking assist control using the size of the peripheral object newly detected by the sensor.
