Solution Overview

Problem

Existing automatic parking technologies fail to ensure safe and efficient vehicle parking due to the inability to adapt to real-time changes in the surrounding environment, leading to potential safety risks.

Innovation Solution

An automatic parking device equipped with sensors and a control system that continuously senses the environment and adjusts the parking path and driving conditions to avoid obstacles and ensure safe parking, using a flowchart method to configure and adjust the parking path based on detected movement characteristics of surrounding objects.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of time

If a parking path is configured based only on the surrounding environment sensed at the start of parking, then the parking path can be determined quickly, but the safety of the vehicle cannot be guaranteed because real-time environmental changes are not reflected

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepath configuration timeVSAvoidparking safety
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The parking path is configured dynamically by continuously sensing the surrounding environment during the parking process and adjusting the path in real-time based on detected moving objects, rather than using a static pre-configured path

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements continuous feedback by sensing the surrounding environment throughout the parking process and using this information to adjust the parking path, ensuring safety while adapting to real-time changes

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If the parking path is adjusted continuously based on real-time environmental sensing, then the safety of parking is improved, but the complexity of the control system increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveparking safetyVSAvoidcontrol system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary sensing of the surrounding environment before configuring the parking path, and continues sensing during the parking process to detect moving objects, allowing for proactive path adjustment rather than reactive complex control

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The parking process is divided into distinct phases (initial sensing, path configuration, continuous sensing, path adjustment) that can be managed separately, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining safety

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

The present application discloses an automatic parking device and method for controlling the same. In particular, the present application provides an automatic parking device including a sensor configured to sense a surrounding environment of a vehicle; and a control device configured to: sense movement characteristics of an object detected in the vicinity of the vehicle; expect a movement path of the object in consideration of the sensed movement characteristics; and when it is determined that the object to move along the expected movement path will interfere with the vehicle to move for parking, adjust a parking path of the vehicle and/or driving on the parking path to avoid the object, and method for controlling the same.
