INFORMATION MANAGEMENT DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240177606 titled 'INFORMATION MANAGEMENT DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an information management device that acquires a travel route of a vehicle, captures a satellite image of the periphery of the travel route, and detects available parking spaces in the parking lot around the travel route.
- Travel route acquisition unit acquires the travel route of the vehicle.
- Satellite image acquisition unit captures a satellite image of the periphery of the travel route.
- Detection unit detects available parking spaces in the parking lot around the travel route from the satellite image.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in:
- Navigation systems to provide real-time parking availability information.
- Smart city infrastructure for efficient parking management.
Problems Solved
This technology helps in:
- Reducing time spent searching for parking spaces.
- Optimizing parking lot usage and reducing congestion.
Benefits
