Vehicle charge assistance device and vehicle including the same
First Claim
1. A vehicle charge assistance device comprising:
- at least one camera mounted on a vehicle;
an antenna to detect a magnetic field from a charging device; and
a processor to control a movement of the vehicle using at least one signal from the at least one camera or the antenna,wherein a first signal is generated to control movement of the vehicle when the vehicle is positioned greater than or equal to a prescribed distance from the charging device and a second signal is generated to control movement of the vehicle when the vehicle is positioned within the prescribed distance from the charging device, the first signal being different than the second signal,wherein the first signal is generated based on an image associated with the charging device from the at least one camera and the second signal is generated based on the magnetic field to control movement of the vehicle,wherein after the vehicle is moved based on the first signal, the antenna is activated when an intensity of the magnetic field is greater than or equal to a prescribed level,wherein after the vehicle is moved based on the second signal, the processor generates a third signal to adjust a position of the vehicle based on the magnetic field,wherein the processor recognizes a first object of the charging device and a second object of a guide member to guide movement of the vehicle to the charging device in the image from the at least one camera, and generates the first signal based on the first object of the charging device and the second object of a guide member,wherein the processor combines images from a front view camera, a rear view camera, a left side view camera, and a right side view camera to generate an around view image,wherein the processor controls to generate a plurality of vehicle movement directions, to display on a display the plurality of a vehicle movement path on the around view image, an image representing a battery on the vehicle, information regarding a distance between the battery and the charging device, or information regarding a direction of movement of the vehicle together with the vehicle movement path.

Abstract
A vehicle charge assistance device and a vehicle including the same are disclosed. The vehicle charge assistance device includes at least one camera mounted on a vehicle, an antenna to detect a magnetic field from a charging device, and a processor to control movement of the vehicle. The processor may generate a vehicle movement direction signal based on an object associated with the charging device in an image from the at least one camera and generate a guide signal to adjust a position of the vehicle based on the magnetic field after movement of the vehicle according to the vehicle movement direction signal. Consequently, it is possible to easily and conveniently move the vehicle to the charge system.
