Remote Vehicle Exit Mode Control via Driver and Obstacle Detection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current remote smart parking systems fail to provide an effective exit mode for vehicles, particularly when parallel parked, leading to inconvenience, especially when obstacles like walls are present, as they only offer a drive-straight mode that does not allow drivers to exit efficiently from parallel parking spaces.
Innovation Solution
An apparatus and method that include a driver detector, an obstacle detector, and a controller to set an exit mode based on the driver's location and obstacle information, using low-frequency antennas to determine the driver's position and sensors to detect obstacles, allowing for various exit modes such as right or left side exits, remote reverse, and remote forward, depending on the parking state and history.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a drive-straight mode is used for remote parking exit, then the system is simple to operate, but the driver cannot exit efficiently from parallel parking spaces when obstacles like walls are present
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically selects between different exit modes (drive-straight, remote reverse, remote forward) based on real-time detection of driver location and obstacle positions, allowing the exit strategy to adapt to specific parking scenarios rather than using a fixed drive-straight approach
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses driver detector and obstacle detector to gather feedback about the current situation, then the controller uses this information to determine the appropriate exit mode, creating a closed-loop control system that responds to actual conditions
2Productivity
If multiple exit modes are provided based on driver location and obstacle information, then exit efficiency is improved, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The controller is designed to perform multiple functions: it controls both the exit mode selection and the actual vehicle movement (steering, acceleration, deceleration), consolidating control logic into a single component that handles various parking scenarios
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically detects driver location and obstacle positions, then autonomously selects and executes the appropriate exit mode without requiring manual driver input or complex user interface interactions

AI summary
An apparatus for remotely controlling an exit mode in a vehicle includes a driver detector that detects a location of a driver, an obstacle detector that detects an obstacle located around the vehicle, and a controller that sets an exit mode of a remotely started vehicle based on the location of the driver, detected by the driver detector, and the location of the obstacle, detected by the obstacle detector.
