Remote Parking Mode Selection via Environmental Detection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing remote automatic parking support systems are unable to guide an optimal parking mode based on the detected parking space and surrounding environmental conditions, such as weather, leading to driver discomfort and potential issues with exiting the vehicle due to space constraints or adverse weather.
Innovation Solution
A method for guiding a parking mode in a remote automatic parking support system that detects the surrounding environment and selects between a first mode based on a parking request from a driver's terminal outside the vehicle or a second mode based on a switch inside the vehicle, using sensors and a controller to determine the optimal parking approach, including automatic gear-shifting, steering, and vehicle speed adjustments.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If automatic parking is performed based on a parking request from a smart key or smartphone (first mode), then the driver can initiate parking remotely from outside the vehicle, but the driver cannot receive guidance on optimal parking mode selection regarding space and weather conditions
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides feedback to the driver by notifying the selected parking mode through a display or notification device. The controller detects surrounding environment (space conditions, weather) and feeds back the optimal parking mode selection to the driver, enabling informed decision-making while maintaining remote operation capability
Solution Approach 2:
The controller acts as an intermediary between the driver's remote request and the parking execution. It receives the parking request from the smart key/smartphone, analyzes surrounding conditions, determines the optimal parking mode, and communicates this information back to the driver before execution
2Ease of operation
If automatic parking is performed based on a parking request from a switch mounted within the vehicle (second mode), then the driver can initiate parking from inside the vehicle, but the driver cannot receive guidance on optimal parking mode selection regarding space and weather conditions
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides feedback to the driver by notifying the selected parking mode through a display or notification device. The controller detects surrounding environment (space conditions, weather) and feeds back the optimal parking mode selection to the driver, enabling informed decision-making while maintaining internal operation capability
Solution Approach 2:
The controller acts as an intermediary between the driver's internal request and the parking execution. It receives the parking request from the switch, analyzes surrounding conditions, determines the optimal parking mode, and communicates this information back to the driver before execution
3Device complexity
If the remote automatic parking support system does not guide optimal parking mode based on surrounding environment, then the system structure remains simple, but the driver experiences discomfort and may not be able to exit the vehicle due to space shortage or adverse weather
Solution Approach 1:
The controller performs preliminary detection of the surrounding environment (parking space dimensions, weather conditions) before executing parking. By detecting these conditions in advance and notifying the driver of the optimal parking mode, the system prevents adverse outcomes such as driver discomfort or inability to exit, without adding significant complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides feedback to the driver by notifying the selected parking mode through a display or notification device. This feedback mechanism enables the driver to understand the rationale behind the parking mode selection based on detected environmental factors, reducing discomfort and improving safety

AI summary
A method for guiding a parking mode in a remote automatic parking support system is provided. The remote automatic parking support system includes a first mode and a second mode. In the first mode, automatic parking is performed based on a parking request from a smart key or a smartphone of a driver positioned extraneous to a vehicle and in the second mode, automatic parking is performed based on a parking request from a switch mounted within the vehicle. The vehicle is guided in first mode or the second mode based on a surrounding environment, thereby providing optimal convenience to the driver.
