This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18136042 titled 'PARKING MANAGEMENT DEVICE, VEHICLE, AND PARKING LOT MANAGEMENT METHOD

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a parking management device that helps identify the movement of users in a parking lot and determines a running route for vehicles to avoid the user's movement route.

  • The device acquires user identification data to track the position of a user in the parking lot.
  • It estimates the movement route of the user based on the acquired identification data.
  • It then decides a running route for a vehicle in the parking lot to avoid the estimated movement route of the user.

Potential Applications

  • Parking lot management systems
  • Smart parking solutions
  • Vehicle navigation systems

Problems Solved

  • Improves parking lot efficiency by avoiding potential conflicts between vehicles and users.
  • Enhances user safety by preventing accidents or collisions with vehicles.
  • Optimizes traffic flow within the parking lot.

Benefits

  • Reduces the risk of accidents and improves overall safety in parking lots.
  • Enhances the user experience by providing efficient and hassle-free parking.
  • Increases the efficiency of parking lot management and reduces congestion.


Original Abstract Submitted

A parking management device includes: a data acquiring unit configured to acquire user identification data for identifying the position of a user moving in a parking lot; a movement route estimating unit configured to estimate a movement route based on the user identification data acquired by the data acquiring unit, the movement route being a route along which the user moves in the parking lot; and a running route deciding unit configured to decide a running route of a vehicle so as to avoid the movement route estimated by the movement route estimating unit, the vehicle being a vehicle running in the parking lot.
