PARKING MANAGEMENT FOR AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES THROUGH AUGMENTED REALITY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18065831 titled 'PARKING MANAGEMENT FOR AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES THROUGH AUGMENTED REALITY
The abstract describes a computer system, program, and method that utilize augmented reality (AR) to improve the parking of autonomous vehicles. This involves capturing the physical characteristics of a parking facility and vehicles within it, generating an AR representation of the facility and vehicles, presenting this representation on a display device, receiving potential parking locations based on vacant spots shown in the AR representation, and parking autonomous vehicles in selected locations.

Original Abstract Submitted
A computer system, computer program product, and computer-implemented method for using augmented reality (AR) to enhance parking of autonomous vehicles. The method includes capturing, through one or more sensors, the physical characteristics of a parking facility, and identifying, through the one or more sensors, the physical characteristics of vehicles therein. The method also includes generating, subject to the capturing and identifying, an augmented reality (AR) representation of the parking facility and the vehicles. The method further includes presenting, through a display device, the AR representation of the parking facility and the vehicles. The method also includes receiving, subject to the presenting, potential parking locations at least partially based on presently vacant parking locations indicated within the AR representation of the parking facility and the vehicles. The method further includes parking, subject to the receiving, autonomous vehicles within selected parking locations of the potential parking locations.
