PARKING ASSIST SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17957145 titled 'PARKING ASSIST SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a parking assist system for a vehicle that can detect parking spaces, identify parking parameters, and determine the suitability of a parking space based on various parameters, including predicting post-parking actions of the vehicle's occupants.
- The system includes a processor and memory storing instructions for detecting parking spaces, identifying parking parameters, and determining the suitability of a parking space.
- Parking parameters may include a point-of-interest associated with the parking space, which can help predict post-parking actions of the vehicle's occupants.
- The system can assist drivers in finding suitable parking spaces based on various parameters, improving the overall parking experience.
Potential Applications
The technology can be applied in:
- Automotive industry for developing advanced parking assist systems.
- Smart city initiatives to improve parking management and efficiency.
Problems Solved
- Difficulty in finding suitable parking spaces.
- Uncertainty about post-parking actions of vehicle occupants.
Benefits
- Enhanced parking experience for drivers.
- Improved parking efficiency and management.
- Predictive capabilities for post-parking actions.
Potential Commercial Applications
"Smart Parking Solutions: Enhancing Parking Efficiency with Predictive Technology"
Possible Prior Art
There are existing parking assist systems in vehicles that help drivers park more easily, but the predictive capabilities for post-parking actions may be a novel feature in this technology.
Unanswered Questions
How does the system predict post-parking actions accurately?
The abstract does not provide details on the specific methods or algorithms used for predicting post-parking actions.
What types of parking parameters are considered for determining the suitability of a parking space?
The abstract mentions a point-of-interest as one of the parking parameters, but it is unclear what other parameters are taken into account in the system.
Original Abstract Submitted
A parking assist system for a vehicle includes a processor and a memory communicably coupled to the processor. The memory stores instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to detect a parking space for a vehicle. The instructions further cause the processor to identify one or more parking parameters related to parking the vehicle in the parking space. The parking parameters include a point-of-interest associated with the parking space. The instructions further cause the processor to determine a suitability of the parking space based on the one or more parking parameters. Determining the suitability of the parking space includes predicting a point-of-interest-related action to be performed by an occupant after parking the vehicle in the parking space.
