Parking Display Control for Adaptive Top-View Guidance
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing technologies struggle to effectively utilize a limited display area of a display device to present necessary information to users in an easy-to-understand manner, particularly in the context of automatic parking systems for vehicles.
Innovation Solution
A control device that controls a display device on a moving body, enabling perpendicular and parallel parking, adjusts the display range of a top view image based on parking mode, and allows enlargement upon user instruction, with distinct display modes for perpendicular and parallel parking.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If the display device shows all parking information in a fixed display area, then the information completeness is maintained, but the user cannot clearly see detailed information when needed
Solution Approach 1:
The display device dynamically adjusts the display range of the top view image based on the detected parking type. When perpendicular parking is detected, the display shows a first range including left and right sides; when parallel parking is detected, it shows a second range including front and rear sides. This dynamic adaptation resolves the contradiction by automatically optimizing information presentation for different parking scenarios without requiring manual user adjustment.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the display parameters (display range) according to the parking type parameters. By detecting whether perpendicular or parallel parking is being performed, the system switches between different display configurations, ensuring that the most relevant information is always prominently displayed while maintaining completeness of all necessary information.
2Ease of operation
If the display area is enlarged to show more details, then the information clarity improves, but the limited display space becomes insufficient to show all necessary information
Solution Approach 1:
The display device applies local quality by showing different portions of the top view image with different levels of detail based on the parking type. For perpendicular parking, the left and right sides are displayed with greater detail; for parallel parking, the front and rear sides receive greater detail. This allows the limited display area to effectively show the most relevant information clearly without attempting to display everything at the same level of detail.
3Device complexity
If a single display range is used for all parking types, then the device complexity is reduced, but the adaptability to different parking scenarios deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The display device achieves universality by implementing a single control mechanism that automatically adapts to multiple parking scenarios. The parking type detection unit identifies whether perpendicular or parallel parking is being performed, and the display control unit automatically adjusts the display range accordingly. This multi-functional approach allows one display system to effectively serve different parking needs without requiring separate control mechanisms for each parking type.

AI summary
A control device for controlling a display device is mounted on a moving body that moves to a target position specified by a user by automatic steering. The moving body is configured to be capable of perpendicular parking into the target position and parallel parking into the target position. When the perpendicular parking or the parallel parking is performed, the control device causes the display device to display a top view image of the moving body and surroundings, and to display a frame image indicating a place set as the target position superimposed on the top view image. The control device is capable of enlarging and displaying the top view image according to an instruction from the user. The control device makes a display range when the top view image is enlarged and displayed different between when the perpendicular parking is performed and when the parallel parking is performed.
