AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing automated valet parking systems incorrectly determine that a vehicle cannot be admitted for service due to tire pressure sensor malfunctions, particularly when the sensor is removed during tire replacement, despite the actual tire pressure being correct.
Method used
A system and method that checks in-vehicle history information to determine if a tire pressure sensor has been removed, allowing the vehicle to be admitted for service if relief conditions are met, such as previous successful entries or a certain time period since the last tire change.
Benefits of technology
Prevents vehicles from being denied service due to false sensor malfunctions, ensuring accurate admission based on historical data and tire pressure appropriateness.

Abstract
This system prevents situations where the automatic valet parking function for a vehicle cannot be started, such as when the cause of a sensor malfunction in the tire pressure sensor is the removal of the tire pressure sensor during a tire change. [Solution] Before executing the parking process for a vehicle targeted for automatic valet parking, a check-in process is performed for the vehicle. During the check-in process, sensor information is obtained from a sensor that detects the tire pressure of the vehicle. If the sensor information indicates a sensor malfunction during the check-in process, the removal of the sensor is estimated based on the vehicle's internal history information. If the removal of the sensor is estimated during the check-in process, it is determined whether the relief conditions are met based on the vehicle's automatic valet parking history information. If it is determined that the relief conditions are met, the execution of the parking process is permitted.
