Solution Overview

Problem

Existing automatic parking systems face challenges in displaying the parking process effectively, as parts of the vehicle and target parking spot may be outside the limited display region of the vehicle-mounted terminal.

Innovation Solution

A parking process display method and device that establishes an image of the vehicle's surroundings based on a preset coordinate system, determines a display region including the vehicle, identifies parking spots, and adjusts the display region's center to ensure the entire vehicle and target parking spot are within the display region.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If a fixed field of view display region is used to show the parking image, then the display structure is simple, but parts of the vehicle and target parking spot may be outside the display region, causing incomplete parking process visibility

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevisibility of vehicle and parking spotVSAvoiddisplay control complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The display region's center position is dynamically adjusted during the parking process. The system determines the vehicle's position and the target parking spot's position, then automatically moves the display region's center to ensure both the vehicle and parking spot remain visible, transforming a static display into a dynamic one that adapts to real-time positioning data

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements a feedback mechanism where the display region's position is continuously adjusted based on the relative positions of the vehicle and target parking spot. The control unit monitors whether both objects are within the display region and automatically adjusts the center position accordingly, creating a closed-loop control system that maintains complete visibility

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Loss of information

If the display region is adjusted to keep the vehicle centered, then the vehicle remains visible, but the target parking spot may move outside the display region

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevisibility of target parking spotVSAvoiddisplay stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically recalculates the display region's center position based on the relative positions of both the vehicle and target parking spot. Instead of fixed centering on the vehicle, the display region adapts its position to maintain visibility of both critical elements, creating a flexible display system that responds to real-time spatial relationships

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the positional parameters of the display region based on calculated positions of the vehicle and parking spot. By adjusting the center coordinates of the display region according to real-time position data, the system ensures both objects remain within the visible area while maintaining display stability through controlled parameter adjustments

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

Provided are method and device for displaying a parking process, and a vehicle. The method includes creating an image used for reflecting a scene where a vehicle is located; determining a display region of the image, and displaying the display region; identifying parking spots in the image; when at least part of a region of a target parking spot among all the parking spots and/or of a vehicle is located outside the display region, adjusting the position of the center of the display region of the image with respect to the origin of a preset coordinate system, so that the whole regions of the vehicle and the target parking spot are located in the display region.
