PARKING ASSIST DEVICE, CONTROL METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240190415 titled 'PARKING ASSIST DEVICE, CONTROL METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY STORAGE MEDIUM

The parking assist device described in the patent application includes a control device for automated parking control and a notification device. The automated parking control helps the driver park the vehicle in a predetermined spot while sitting in the driver's seat. The control device calculates the frontage of the parking spot in advance and controls the notification device to provide information about the size of the drop-off space.

  • The device assists in automated parking control for vehicles.
  • The control device calculates the frontage of the parking spot before initiating the parking process.
  • The notification device informs the driver about the size of the drop-off space.
  • The technology aims to improve parking accuracy and efficiency for drivers.

Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for parking assistance systems - Smart city infrastructure for efficient parking management

Problems Solved: - Difficulty in accurately parking vehicles in tight spaces - Lack of information about available drop-off spaces

Benefits: - Enhanced parking precision - Improved driver convenience and safety - Optimal utilization of parking spaces

Commercial Applications: Automotive companies can integrate this technology into their vehicles to offer advanced parking assistance features, enhancing the overall driving experience for customers.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the control device calculate the frontage of the parking spot? 2. What are the potential implications of this technology on urban parking infrastructure?


Original Abstract Submitted

a parking assist device includes a control device configured to execute automated parking control and a notification device. the automated parking control is control for assisting an operation of a target vehicle to park the target vehicle in a predetermined target parking spot while a driver of the target vehicle sits on a driver's seat of the target vehicle. the control device is configured to calculate a frontage of the target parking spot in advance before a start of execution of the automated parking control. the control device is configured to control the notification device, based on the calculated frontage, such that the notification device gives a notification about information related to a size of a drop-off space.
