Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Existing parking assistance systems require users to restart training traveling from the beginning when interruptions occur, lacking convenience and efficiency in resuming training routes.

Innovation Solution

A parking assistance apparatus and method that allows resuming training traveling from a predetermined position on a stored route, combining routes before and after the position, and enabling user selection of the resumption point.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If training traveling is interrupted and restarted from the beginning, then the system ensures complete route training, but the time and effort required increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecompleteness of route trainingVSAvoidtime required for training

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system stores the training route in advance during initial training traveling, allowing the vehicle to later resume from a predetermined position rather than restarting from the beginning. This preliminary storage of route information enables time-saving resumption while maintaining training completeness.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The training route is divided into segments, with a predetermined position serving as a checkpoint. When training is interrupted, the system segments the route into 'before predetermined position' and 'after predetermined position' portions, allowing resumption from the stored checkpoint rather than requiring complete retraining.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of operation

If training traveling is resumed from a predetermined position, then convenience and time efficiency improve, but the system complexity increases due to route storage and resumption logic

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveconvenience of resuming trainingVSAvoidsystem complexity for route management

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system creates a copy of the training route information and stores it in memory at the predetermined position. This copied route data enables resumption without requiring complex real-time calculations or additional hardware, simply storing and retrieving route information.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The stored route information serves multiple functions: it enables resumption from predetermined positions, provides navigation guidance during resumed training, and maintains training route integrity. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate systems for each function.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Measurement precision

If the system stores complete training routes, then route accuracy is maintained, but memory requirements and data management complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveroute accuracyVSAvoiddata storage requirements

Core Design Contradiction:

Measurement precisionVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts and stores only the essential route information at the predetermined position rather than storing complete detailed trajectory data. This extracted key information is sufficient for resumption while minimizing memory requirements and data management complexity.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

AI summary

Provided is a parking assistance apparatus that performs parking assistance based on a route of a vehicle in training traveling. The parking assistance apparatus includes a processor that causes the training traveling to be resumed from a predetermined position on a first route in the training traveling. The processor determines, as a training route, a route including a route before the predetermined position on the first route and a second route in the training traveling having been resumed.
