DEVICE AND METHOD FOR NOTIFICATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240132092 titled 'DEVICE AND METHOD FOR NOTIFICATION
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a notification device that informs a driver to park their vehicle in one of several parking spaces in a parking area. The device includes a control device that sends control information for parking travel control of the vehicle to the vehicle through a communication network. If it is determined that the vehicle has arrived within a certain distance of the parking area and the travel controller is unable to execute the parking travel control, the output device mounted on the vehicle notifies the driver that the parking travel control is not possible.
- Notification device for guiding drivers to park in specific parking spaces
- Control device transmits control information for parking travel control to the vehicle
- Output device mounted on the vehicle alerts the driver if parking travel control is not executable
- Communication network used to transmit control information
Potential Applications
The technology can be applied in parking lots, garages, and other parking areas to efficiently guide drivers to available parking spaces.
Problems Solved
1. Difficulty in finding available parking spaces in crowded parking areas 2. Lack of communication between drivers and parking guidance systems
Benefits
1. Improved parking efficiency 2. Reduced traffic congestion in parking areas 3. Enhanced driver experience
Potential Commercial Applications
"Smart Parking Guidance System for Efficient Parking Management"
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of sensors in parking lots to detect available parking spaces and guide drivers to them.
Unanswered Questions
How does the control device determine the availability of parking spaces?
The abstract does not provide details on how the control device identifies which parking spaces are available for the driver to park in.
What type of communication network is used to transmit control information to the vehicle?
The abstract mentions a communication network but does not specify the type of network used for this purpose.
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.
