Solution Overview

Problem

Current memory parking systems face limitations in working conditions due to the dominance of low-cost vision sensors and ultrasonic radar, making it difficult to cope with all environmental factors during parking, thereby limiting their application.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for adaptive vehicle parking that involves acquiring parking environment data and historical parking data to select a constraint set based on the parking risk level, allowing the vehicle to park according to the selected constraint set, thereby adjusting the usage mode of the parking technology to suit different risk levels.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If low-cost vision sensors and ultrasonic radar are used, then cost is reduced, but the ability to cope with all working conditions during parking is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovecostVSAvoidability to cope with all working conditions
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts the sensor configuration based on parking risk levels. For high-risk scenarios, additional sensors are activated or supplementary detection methods are employed, while for low-risk scenarios, the basic low-cost sensor suite suffices. This dynamic adaptation resolves the contradiction by making the sensor system flexible rather than fixed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the operational parameters of the sensing system by adjusting detection thresholds, sampling frequencies, and sensor activation states based on environmental conditions and risk assessments. This allows the same hardware to perform differently across various working conditions, enhancing adaptability without increasing hardware cost.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Device complexity

If memory parking system uses limited sensor scheme, then device complexity is reduced, but application scenarios are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesensor scheme complexityVSAvoidapplication scenarios
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent makes the parking control system universal by introducing a risk-level-based constraint selection mechanism that can handle diverse parking scenarios (garage parking, open lot parking, narrow space parking, etc.) using the same underlying sensor suite. The system selects appropriate constraint sets based on detected risk levels, enabling one system to serve multiple application scenarios.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the parking control into multiple constraint sets (first constraint set for high risk, second constraint set for low risk), each optimized for specific working conditions. This segmentation allows the system to apply appropriate constraints for each scenario without requiring completely different sensor configurations, thus maintaining low device complexity while expanding application versatility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
