1. A parking assistance apparatus comprising:
- a display that displays an image of a scene behind a host vehicle; and
an electronic control unit that performs calculation to depict at least one kind of trajectory,wherein at least when the host vehicle moves forward or when the host vehicle is stopped, the electronic control unit performs the calculation to depict a plurality of kinds of trajectories along which the host vehicle is able to back up from a point at which the host vehicle is currently positioned, and the display displays an indication including the plurality of kinds of trajectories depicted through the calculation performed by the electronic control unit, in a manner such that the indication is superimposed on the image of the scene behind the host vehicle,wherein the display displays the depicted trajectories each of which includes a curved portion and a straight line portion, the curved portion extends rearward from the point at which the host vehicle is currently positioned, and the straight line portion extends from a rear end portion of the curved portion, andwherein the display displays the depicted trajectories in a manner such that a length of the curved portion of each of the trajectories is changed in accordance with an angle formed by a longitudinal direction of a parking frame in which the host vehicle is to be parked and a longitudinal direction of the host vehicle.

20. A parking assistance apparatus comprising:
-
a display that displays an image of a scene behind a host vehicle; and an electronic control unit that performs calculation to depict a trajectory, wherein the electronic control unit performs the calculation to depict the trajectory along which the host vehicle is to back up from a point at which the host vehicle is currently positioned, and the display displays the depicted trajectory in a manner such that the depicted trajectory is superimposed on the image of the scene behind the host vehicle, in accordance with a time point at which a parking frame, in which the host vehicle is to be parked, is displayed in the image of the scene behind the host vehicle, and wherein the electronic control unit performs the calculation to depict the trajectory along which the host vehicle is to back up from the point at which the host vehicle is currently positioned, and the display displays the depicted trajectory in the manner such that the depicted trajectory is superimposed on the image of the scene behind the host vehicle, after the time point at which the parking frame, in which the host vehicle is to be parked, is displayed in the image of the scene behind the host vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23)
