Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a motor vehicle having a projection system with at least one first projection device and at least one second projection device, wherein the at least one first projection device has at least one first light source and the at least one second projection device has at least one second light source. Background Art

[0002] Modern motor vehicles often feature parking assistance systems. These systems typically include functions and devices that make it easier for the user to operate the vehicle and maneuver when parking. These include, for example, reversing cameras, side parking assistance, automatic parking and reversing assistants, or even remote parking using an external operating unit.

[0003] DE 10 2018 220 325 A1 discloses a projection device that allows parking maneuvers. A user controlling the vehicle receives a visual display of the vehicle's trajectory, which allows them to identify potential collisions. When using the projection device, a marker (such as an arrow or a route) can be projected onto the ground to visually display the target route.

[0004] DE 10 2017 210 221 A1 describes a method for longitudinal and transverse guidance of a motor vehicle. Environmental data related to the motor vehicle is determined, and multiple possible trajectories are output based on the environmental data. A user can select a trajectory via an operating unit, so that the motor vehicle is driven at least semi-automatically along at least a section of the selected trajectory. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide an improved motor vehicle.

[0006] In order to achieve the stated object, a motor vehicle according to the invention of the type described at the outset is provided, wherein at least one first light projection can be projected into the environment of the motor vehicle by at least one first projection device, wherein the at least one first light projection defines the actual position of the stationary motor vehicle, and at least one second light projection can be projected into the environment of the motor vehicle by at least one second projection device, wherein the at least one second light projection defines a target position, which defines a parking position of the motor vehicle, wherein the at least one second projection device can be adjusted by a user to change the target position, wherein a deviation between the actual position and the target position can be determined by a detection device, wherein control parameters for performing an automated driving action can be determined by a control device based on the determined deviation, within the scope of which the motor vehicle can be moved autonomously into a parking position.

[0007] Therefore, the motor vehicle according to the present invention includes a projection system that outputs both a target position and an actual position. The target position displays the vehicle's intended final position after the maneuvering process, while the actual position defines the current position of the stationary vehicle. This offers the advantage of precisely visualizing the vehicle's actual and target positions, allowing the detection device to calculate the deviation between the actual and target positions and initiate an automated driving maneuver via the control device. This is because, based on the actual target data, the control device can precisely detect the initial and final positions of the intended driving maneuver and, based on this position data or the position deviation, determine the trajectory along which the vehicle should be moved from the actual position to the target position during the automated driving maneuver. Another advantage of this system is that it provides the vehicle user with optimal visualization of both positions. Since the user can independently adjust at least one second projection device, a high degree of flexibility is achieved in adjusting from the target position to the desired position. Thus, the user can define a desired parking position using a settable target position so that the vehicle is positioned at the desired location after the automated driving maneuver is executed. Therefore can provide convenience for the user on the position of narrow or poor visibility, for example at pillar, wall or parked car place or between.In addition, the display of two positions makes the user can intuitively operate the projection system to reach the desired parking position.

[0008] According to the present invention, at least one first light projection generated by at least one first projection device can define an actual position to the side and / or in front of and / or behind the vehicle, and at least one second light projection generated by at least one second projection device can define a target position to the side and / or in front of and / or behind the vehicle. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the at least one first projection device and the at least one second projection device are located on the side of the vehicle, thereby enabling at least one of the actual position and the target position to be displayed on the side of the vehicle. This allows the position to be defined parallel to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle. Furthermore, the actual position and the target position can be displayed at least partially in front of and / or behind the vehicle, thereby defining the position in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the vehicle. Thus, the light projection can simultaneously display two positions defining the final position: one on the side and the other in front of and / or behind. Furthermore, the user can adjust the angle of the target position relative to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle or the actual position (which defines the current position of the vehicle and is therefore fixed) to set the desired parking position. This is particularly necessary when the vehicle is to be tilted relative to its current position and moved into a parking position. Furthermore, the at least one first light projection and the at least one second light projection can be output with the smallest possible lateral offset relative to the longitudinal side of the motor vehicle. This allows for a very precise display of the position of the motor vehicle or its exterior side. This enables the user to better assess whether the selected target position is suitable for reaching the desired parking position without a collision.

[0009] According to a refinement of the present invention, at least one first projection device is designed to generate at least one first light projection in the form of a line, and at least one second projection device is designed to generate at least one second light projection in the form of a line. This has the advantage that the line display is similar to showing the longitudinal direction of the vehicle to the side, front, or rear. Therefore, the output of these lines provides the user with the most intuitive and detailed representation of the vehicle's contours in both the actual and target positions. Other design options are also conceivable. Thus, light projections can also be output in the form of dots, dashed lines, or geometric shapes. Other user-specific display modes, such as color, intensity, or line width, can also be adjusted.

[0010] Furthermore, the detection device can be a sensor, particularly an optical sensor or a camera. In a first embodiment with a first variant, a sensor capable of detecting light projections, particularly light projections in the form of lines, can be used. For example, a photoelectric sensor can be used, which can detect differences in brightness or color. In a second variant, the camera is preferably designed for image analysis. Thus, for example, the actual position and the target position, displayed in the form of lines, can be detected by the camera and analyzed and evaluated by software designed for this purpose. Based on the detected positions and the distances between them, the software can calculate and output the sensor detection results in the form of position data, which the control device can then use to calculate its control parameters.

[0011] Furthermore, the at least one first light source and the at least one second light source of the projection system can each comprise at least one laser diode and / or at least one LED. Preferred embodiments include laser diodes. Both laser diodes and LEDs have long service lives, and a laser diode's advantage over LEDs is that it does not lose light intensity even with aging. Compared to LEDs, lasers operate over a very narrow frequency range, allowing them to produce high-intensity light and display with greater precision than LEDs. Lasers can also be used to indicate arbitrary geometric shapes. Finally, ambient air containing a high concentration of suspended particles (for example, in a poorly ventilated parking lot) can adversely affect the light intensity of the LEDs. The light intensity of the lasers is unaffected by this. Alternatively, the at least one first light source and the at least one second light source can comprise both a laser diode and an LED. This is particularly advantageous if one of the diodes is damaged, as at least the other corresponding diode can still output light for projection.

[0012] Furthermore, according to the present invention, at least one first projection device, at least one second projection device, and at least one detection device can be disposed on each of two sides of the vehicle. In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the at least one first projection device, at least one second projection device, and / or the detection device can be disposed on an exterior rearview mirror, roof rack, door sills, or on the bumper in the front and / or rear areas. In the last variant described above, the projection device is preferably mounted in the outer third of the bumper to deflect the light projection as much to the side as possible. While it is possible to arrange the projection device on only one side of the vehicle, an embodiment is preferred in which another pair of projection devices, consisting of a first projection device and a second projection device, is additionally disposed on the other side of the vehicle. In this embodiment, there is a pair of projection devices on each side of the vehicle. In this arrangement, the user can select the at least one first projection device and the at least one second projection device on one of the two sides, depending on whether the potential parking location is on the left or right side of the vehicle, to output the at least one first light projection and the at least one second light projection, and set the target position accordingly.

[0013] Furthermore, an environment detection device may be provided, designed to detect obstacles in the vehicle's environment and output environment detection information. The control unit is configured to determine control parameters based on the environment detection information. This sensor may preferably be a distance sensor or proximity sensor, such as an ultrasonic sensor, radar sensor, or lidar sensor. Based on the environment detection information, the control unit can then determine control parameters to circumvent potential obstacles. After determining these control parameters, automated driving maneuvers can be executed. Obstacle detection by the environment detection device serves a protective function. The environment detection device can continuously detect obstacles and transmit the detection results to the control unit. This allows detection of fixed obstacles (such as walls, pillars, vehicles, etc.) as well as moving obstacles. If an unforeseen situation occurs, such as a person walking in front of the vehicle as a moving obstacle, the environment detection device can detect this and transmit the information to the control unit. The driving maneuver can then be suspended and resumed when the obstacle is no longer in the driving path. The user may then be asked to reset the target location. However, it is also conceivable that, in the event that a driving maneuver must be aborted due to an unforeseen obstacle, the projection device defining the target position automatically defines a preferred target position and outputs a corresponding light projection. Based on the newly adjusted target position and the environmental detection information, the control device can calculate new control parameters and execute a new driving maneuver accordingly. If the driving maneuver is aborted or cannot be executed at all, an acoustic warning signal can be issued via a loudspeaker or a visual warning signal can be issued via the vehicle headlights or projection device. Furthermore, a notification can be sent to the user on a desired external operating unit.

[0014] According to the present invention, a surrounding area detection device may be provided, which is designed to determine the surrounding area of ​​a motor vehicle and output surrounding area detection information. At least one first projection device and at least one second projection device are configured to control at least one first light projection and at least one second light projection based on the surrounding area detection information. The surrounding area detection device may determine surrounding area detection information, such as the brightness or dryness of the surrounding area or the characteristics of the road surface serving as a roadway. Based on this determined information, parameters may be altered by the projection device to improve the visualization of the light projection. For example, in strong sunlight and therefore high brightness, the color intensity of the light projection may be reduced and / or a darker color may be selected to highlight the light projection more clearly. Furthermore, on uneven surfaces, such as gravel roads, the displayed line width may be increased for greater visibility. In addition to line width and intensity, it is also conceivable to adjust the color and brightness of individual light projections. These adjustments can also be customized for the specific user.

[0015] In another embodiment of the present invention, a user can control at least one second projection device to set a target position via an external operating unit and / or an internal operating unit. The external operating unit can be a tablet, laptop, or mobile phone, while the internal operating unit can be a touchscreen display installed in the vehicle. If the user sets the target position via the external operating unit, the user is preferably located outside the vehicle. To this end, a corresponding application can be loaded onto the user's external operating unit, allowing the user to set the target position. In addition to adjusting a target position line parallel to the vehicle's longitudinal axis, the user can also use the external operating unit to individually adjust target position lines located in front of and / or behind the vehicle and defining a position along the vehicle's longitudinal axis. This application displays, at least in a simplified display, the vehicle, its surrounding area, and the actual and target positions output by the projection device, for example, as lines. The user can then use the application to customize the target position by moving the line representing the target position with their finger. The application can track the target position movement and adjust it as necessary. The target position movement can also be tracked in real time on the actual vehicle. This provides a simple and convenient way for the user to check the target position settings directly on the vehicle. When using the internal operating unit, the user can remain inside the vehicle and set the target position without exiting. The manufacturer may pre-install software for setting the target position on the internal operating unit. To enable the user to take the surrounding area into account when setting the target position, at least one camera is additionally provided for detecting the surrounding area, preferably one that can rotate 360° to capture the entire surrounding area. This camera detects the light projections from at least one first projection unit and at least one second projection unit, allowing the display of the surrounding area and vehicle, as well as the light projections, to be displayed as lines on the display of the internal operating unit. As with the external operating unit, when using the internal operating unit, in addition to adjusting the target position lines parallel to the vehicle's longitudinal axis, the user can also separately adjust target position lines located in front of and / or behind the vehicle and defining the position along the vehicle's longitudinal axis. The user can individually adjust the target position by moving the target position lines with their finger. The target position movement can also be tracked on the display and adjusted as necessary. The target position movement can also occur in real time in the actual vehicle. Once the user has completed setting the target position, the automated driving action is preferably only executed after the user exits the vehicle. Although it has been described in these examples how automated driving maneuvers can be used to park a vehicle in a parking space with the aid of a projection system, it is of course also possible to use the same steps to automatically maneuver a vehicle out of a parking space.

[0016] In one refinement, the user can issue a trigger command for executing the automated driving action via an external operating unit and / or an internal operating unit. This approach offers the advantage of allowing the user to maintain ultimate control over the automated driving action and ensuring that the vehicle does not begin moving without user confirmation. There are also multiple possible options. The user can set the target position and issue the trigger command via either an external or internal operating unit. However, the user can also, for example, set the target position via the internal operating unit but issue the trigger command to execute the automated driving action via an external operating unit.

[0017] Furthermore, automated driving actions can be executed based on information about the vehicle's occupancy status and / or its locking status and / or an adjustable set time. These alternatives can be customized to suit the user's needs. For example, it can be specified whether a person is allowed to remain in the vehicle during the driving action, with the preferred option being to execute the driving action when no one is inside. Furthermore, the user can specify whether the driving action is executed with the vehicle in the open or closed state, with the closed state being preferred. This has the advantage that the vehicle is already locked during the parking process, ensuring the user does not forget to lock their vehicle. It is also possible to freely set a set time for the driving action to be executed, or to execute the driving action at specific intervals, such as every five minutes. Thus, if the user so desires, the driving action can be executed five minutes after the triggering command, with a timer starting, for example, when the vehicle is detected to be locked or no longer occupied. After the driving action is completed, if it is aborted due to unforeseen circumstances, a notification can be sent to an external control unit of the user's choice.

[0018] The present invention further relates to a method for automatically moving a motor vehicle into a parking position, wherein the motor vehicle has a projection system having at least one first projection device, at least one second projection device, a detection device, and a control device, the method comprising the following steps:

[0019] - projecting at least one first light projection defining the actual position of the stationary motor vehicle into the surroundings of the motor vehicle by means of at least one first projection device,

[0020] - projecting at least one second light projection defining a target position into the surroundings of the motor vehicle by means of at least one second adjustable projection device, said target position defining a parking position of the motor vehicle,

[0021] - at least one second projection device adjustable by a user to set a target position,

[0022] - detecting the deviation between the actual position and the target position by means of a detection device,

[0023] - determining a control parameter by the control device based on the deviation determined by the detection device,

[0024] - Automatically moving the vehicle based on control parameters.

[0025] All features specific to the method and device disclosed in relation to the motor vehicle according to the invention naturally also apply to the motor vehicle disclosed in relation to the method. This also applies to all non-mutually exclusive alternative embodiments described and all combinations thereof. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0030] Figure 4 A block diagram showing the method flow. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] Figure 1 A motor vehicle 1 according to the present invention is shown, which is configured to carry out a method 2 according to the present invention, wherein the motor vehicle 1 is in a starting position and is not yet in a parking position 4 desired by a user 3. In this exemplary embodiment, the user 3 wishes to park his motor vehicle 1 close to a wall 5 and perpendicular thereto, so that the bumper in the front area of ​​the motor vehicle 1 is essentially parallel to the wall 5. To achieve this, the projection system 6 is activated so that at least one first light projection 7 defining an actual position 8 is projected into the surroundings of the motor vehicle 1 by means of at least one first projection device 22, and at least one second light projection 9 defining a target position 10 is projected into the surroundings of the motor vehicle 1 by means of at least one second projection device 23.

[0032] The at least one first projection device 22 and the at least one second projection device 23 are preferably located in at least one exterior rearview mirror 11 of the motor vehicle 1. Figure 1In the embodiment, two projection devices 22 and 23 are respectively located in the two exterior rearview mirrors 11. Therefore, the user 3 can select the desired side according to the direction in which the motor vehicle 1 is to move and activate the projection devices 22 and 23. Figure 1 As shown, if the user 3 wants to move the motor vehicle 1 to the left relative to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle to reach the parking position 4 between the walls 5, the user 3 can activate the projection device 22, 23 on the left exterior mirror 11. In this case, the two light projections 7, 9 are preferably output in the form of a line 20, which has the smallest possible lateral offset relative to the longitudinal side of the motor vehicle 1. If the user 3 has not yet set at least one second light projection 9 for the target position 10, then Figure 1 As shown, the at least one second light projection of the target position is located in an initial position next to the at least one first light projection 7 of the actual position 8 .

[0033] During this process, user 3 is preferably outside vehicle 1 to set target position 10 or issue a trigger command for an automated driving action via an external operating unit 12. However, user 3 may also be inside vehicle 1 and enter the corresponding settings or commands via an internal operating unit. If user 3 is outside vehicle 1, an application designed to control the light projection 9 defining target position 10 can be loaded onto the external operating unit 12 desired by user 3. If user 3 performs settings via an internal operating unit, the corresponding software may have been pre-installed on the internal operating unit by the manufacturer. In both cases, vehicle 1, its surroundings, actual position 8, and target position 10 can be displayed in at least a simplified form as lines in the application or pre-installed software. User 3 can then use their finger to move the line representing target position 10 on the display to the desired position. The user can then track the line's movement via the application or pre-installed software and adjust it as needed. This movement also occurs in real time, allowing user 3 to track line 20 representing target position 10 in the real vehicle 1. Furthermore, a line 30 parallel to the vehicle front and a line 31 parallel to the vehicle rear, which define the position of target position 10 in the direction of the vehicle longitudinal axis, can also be displayed via external operating unit 12 or internal operating unit and can be individually set by user 3 .

[0034] Figure 2 The next step of the method 2 is shown. Here, the user 3 adjusts the at least one second light projection 9 defining the target position 10 via the external operating unit 12. The surrounding area detection device 19 can determine surrounding area detection information, based on which the light projections 7, 9 can be adapted to the existing situation. For example, in strong sunlight and therefore high brightness, the color and / or color intensity of the line 20 can be automatically adjusted to provide better visibility for the user 3. Figure 2 As shown, a new target position 10 has been set so that it is close to the wall 5 and marks the desired parking position 4 of the user 3. Figure 1 Starting from the same second light projection 9 in FIG, the angle of the second light projection 9 also changes. The at least one first light projection 7 defining the actual position 8 remains unchanged, remaining parallel to the longitudinal side of the motor vehicle 1 with a small lateral offset. Therefore, the user's setting of the target position 10 results in a deviation between the actual position 8 and the new target position 10 marking the parking position 4. This deviation can be determined by a detection device 15, which is preferably an optical sensor, a camera, or a camera system comprising multiple individual cameras. Simultaneously, an environment detection device 16 can detect environmental information about obstacles in the surrounding area of ​​the motor vehicle 1. This environment detection device 16 can, for example, be a distance or proximity sensor, such as an ultrasonic sensor, a radar sensor, or a lidar sensor.

[0035] exist Figure 2 In the example shown, the surroundings detection device 16 detects a wall 5 as an obstacle 17. The control device 18 is further configured to determine control parameters for autonomously moving the motor vehicle 1 into the parking position 4 based on the information received from the detection device 15 and the surroundings detection device 16, by means of which the motor vehicle can be maneuvered / moved within the scope of this movement, wherein multiple forward and backward movements can be performed in order to reach the final position.

[0036] Figure 3A motor vehicle 1 according to the present invention is shown, having completed an automated driving maneuver and being parked in a parking position 4. After a user 3 has set a target position 10 via an external operating unit 12 and after control device 18 has determined control parameters, user 3 can issue a trigger command for the automated driving maneuver via external operating unit 12. Furthermore, user 3 can specify the conditions under which the automated driving maneuver should occur. For example, the user can specify whether the motor vehicle 1 should be unlocked or locked during the driving maneuver, with the locked state being preferred. Furthermore, if the driver assistance system is not designed from the outset to be operable only when unoccupied, it can also be specified whether a person is permitted to remain in the motor vehicle 1 during the driving maneuver or during the time period during which the driving maneuver should occur. If desired, the user can, for example, specify that the automated driving maneuver should occur at a specific time after issuing the trigger command. Once user 3 has issued the trigger command and the automated driving maneuver has begun, the displayed target position 10, which was set by user 3 via external operating unit 12 and upon which control device 18 calculated the control parameters, is compared with the position of the motor vehicle 1 at all times during the driving maneuver throughout the entire driving maneuver. Furthermore, the target position 10 can be defined and located by means of GPS data, so that the control device 18 can use this data to additionally check whether the motor vehicle 1 is in the desired parking position 4. When the driving maneuver is completed or aborted due to unforeseen circumstances, the user 3 can receive a notification on his desired external operating unit 12.

[0037] Figure 4A block diagram 21 illustrates the process flow of the method according to the present invention. In a first step 24, after activating the projection system 6, at least one first projection device 22 projects at least one first light projection 7 defining an actual position 8 into the surroundings of the motor vehicle 1. The actual position 8 here identifies the stationary motor vehicle 1. In a second step 25, at least one second projection device 23 projects at least one second light projection 9 defining a target position 10 into the surroundings of the motor vehicle 1. Unless the user 3 has adjusted the at least one second light projection 9 via the external operating unit 12 or the internal operating unit, the at least one second light projection is located in the immediate vicinity of the at least one first light projection 7. In a third step 26, the user 3 can adjust the at least one second light projection 9 to obtain a target position 10, for example, marking a parking position 4. In a fourth step 27, the deviation between the actual position 8 and the target position 10 can be determined by the detection device 15. Simultaneously, the environment detection device 16 can determine environment detection information regarding obstacles 17 in the surroundings of the motor vehicle 1. In a fifth step 28, the control device 18 may determine control parameters for executing the automated driving action of the motor vehicle 1 based on the information determined by the detection device 15 and the environment detection device 16. In a sixth and final step 29, the automated driving action of the motor vehicle 1 may be executed after the user 3 issues a trigger command via the external operating unit 12 or the internal operating unit.
