Remote Parking Driver Position Feedback to Prevent Termination
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing remote-controlled parking assist systems may inadvertently terminate the parking procedure due to unintentional movements of the driver, leading to potential issues with precise positioning and safe operation.
Innovation Solution
A method using a mobile device with sensors to read and compare the driver's position data with a predetermined location, providing output data on deviations, and offering visual and haptic alerts to prevent unintended termination, allowing the driver to monitor and control the parking process effectively.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the driver holds the mobile device in a fixed position during remote parking, then the system can monitor driver presence and terminate unsafe operations, but unintentional movements cause inadvertent termination of the parking procedure
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides real-time feedback to the driver by displaying deviation information on the mobile device screen. The driver can see how far the device has moved from the predetermined position and receive haptic feedback when approaching threshold values, enabling the driver to adjust and maintain proper positioning without sudden termination
Solution Approach 2:
The system establishes threshold values that define an acceptable deviation range before actual termination occurs. This cushioning approach allows unintentional movements within the threshold range without causing termination, while still providing protective termination for significant deviations that indicate safety concerns
2Reliability
If the system uses position data to monitor driver location during remote parking, then safety can be ensured by detecting abrupt movements, but the complexity of the monitoring system increases
Solution Approach 1:
The mobile device serves multiple functions: it acts as the remote control interface for the parking procedure, the display device for showing deviation information, the haptic feedback device for alerting the driver, and the position monitoring sensor. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate dedicated components for each function
Solution Approach 2:
The driver's own mobile device, which they already possess and are using to control the parking function, is leveraged to provide position monitoring and feedback. The device the driver is already holding serves the dual purpose of control interface and monitoring sensor, eliminating the need for additional specialized equipment

AI summary
The invention relates to a method for operating a motor vehicle during a remote parking procedure, having the steps of reading in a position and/or spatial location data set indicative of a position and/or spatial location of a mobile device of a driver during the remote parking procedure, generating an output data set based on a comparison of the position and/or spatial location data set with a predetermined position and/or spatial location for the mobile device, wherein the output data set contains data indicative of a deviation of a current position of the mobile device according to the position and/or spatial location data set from the predetermined position and/or spatial location, and outputting the output data set with the data indicative of the deviation via the mobile device.
