Parking assist device and a method for electric vehicle power transmission and reception between a vehicle and a ground apparatus
First Claim
1. A vehicle parking assist system of a vehicle having a vehicle-side power transmission/reception unit by which a storage device of the vehicle can be electrically charged, the vehicle parking assist system comprising:
- a sensing system configured to determine whether an apparatus-side power transmission/reception unit is provided for a parking space; and
a vehicle control system configured to guide the vehicle into the parking space so that, when the apparatus-side power transmission/reception unit is determined to be provided for the parking space, the vehicle-side power transmission/reception unit of the vehicle has a predetermined positional relationship with respect to the apparatus-side power transmission/reception unit provided for the parking space when parking assist is completed.

Abstract
A parking assist device has a touch display (58) including a display unit for displaying a situation around a vehicle and an input unit for entering a target parking position of a vehicle, and also has a control device (60) performing parking assist control by calculating a path according to the target parking position. The control device (60) further performs, under a predetermined condition, assist control for position alignment of a vehicle-side power transmission/reception unit placed on the vehicle with an apparatus-side power transmission/reception unit of an apparatus placed on a ground. Preferably, the parking assist device further has a back monitor camera (53) for taking an image of a surrounding situation of the vehicle. When an identifier indicating the apparatus-side power transmission/reception unit is present in the vicinity of the target parking position in the taken surrounding situation, the control device (60) recognizes the position of the identifier and performs the position alignment assist control.
