Abstract
A parking assist apparatus allows a target parking position to be set by a user moving a target parking frame displayed together with an actual image of surroundings of a vehicle, and automatically guides the vehicle to the set target parking position. In the parking assist apparatus, the target parking frame is initially displayed through the use of past setting of the target parking position by the user.

4. A parking assist apparatus comprising:
-
an estimation device that estimates an amount of movement of a vehicle and an amount of change in orientation of the vehicle that are needed for guiding the vehicle from a parking start position to a target parking position, as control parameters, based on a driving state of the vehicle up to the parking start position, in order for a user to set the target parking position by moving a target parking frame displayed together with an actual image of surroundings of the vehicle in an garage parking assist operation; and an initial position determination device that determines an initial display position of the target parking frame based on the estimated control parameters, wherein the estimation device constantly computes and stores the change in orientation of the vehicle for every predetermined travel distance during driving the vehicle, and estimates the control parameters based on the stored change in orientation of the vehicle.

5. A parking assist method comprising:
-
a first step of initially displaying a target parking frame in a screen of a display device displaying an actual image of surroundings of a vehicle by using a past setting of a target parking position performed by a user; and a second step of automatically guiding the vehicle to the target parking position set by the user moving the target parking frame displayed together with the actual image of surroundings of the vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (16)

6. A parking assist method comprising:
-
a first step of constantly computing and storing the change in orientation of the vehicle for every predetermined travel distance during driving a vehicle; a second step of estimating an amount of movement of the vehicle and an amount of change in orientation of the vehicle that are needed for guiding the vehicle from a parking start position to a target parking position, as control parameters, based on a driving state of the vehicle obtained before the vehicle reaches the parking start position, which includes the stored change in orientation of the vehicle; a third step of determining an initial display position of the target parking frame based on the estimated control parameters; a fourth step of displaying a target parking frame to the determined initial display position together with an actual image of surroundings of the vehicle; a fifth step of setting a position of the target parking frame which is moved by the user, as the target parking position; and a sixth step of guiding the vehicle to the target parking position in the garage parking operation.

7. A parking assist apparatus comprising:
-
a detection device that detects a stopped state of a vehicle; a recognition device that, if the stopped state of the vehicle is detected by the detection device, recognizes a position having a predetermined relationship with a first stopped position of the vehicle occurring when the stopped state is detected, as a target parking position; and a guide device that automatically guides the vehicle to the target parking position. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 17, 19)
