Remote control for a parking assistance system and a parking assistance system which can be controlled by remote control
First Claim
1. A remote control device, comprising:
- one or more parking function operating elements that control a parking assistance system of a passenger motor vehicle to park and/or un-park the passenger motor vehicle;
a bidirectional wireless communication device that wirelessly communicates with the parking assistance system;
wherein, the bidirectional wireless communication device has a first radio mode and a second radio mode having a greater range than a range of the first radio mode,wherein, in the first radio mode, the bidirectional wireless communication device is configured to receive an emitted signal emitted by the passenger motor vehicle when the remote control device is located within the range of the first radio mode, andwherein, in the second radio mode, the bidirectional wireless communication device is configured to transmit a confirmation signal in response to receiving the emitted signal from the passenger motor vehicle, anda display element that perceptively signifies, in response to receiving a signal from the passenger motor vehicle indicating that the confirmation signal had not been received, that the bidirectional wireless communication device is outside of an allowed range of the passenger motor vehicle and that the parking assistance system cannot be activated.

Abstract
A remote control for a parking assistance system for automated parking of a passenger motor vehicle is provided. The parking assistance system has an environment sensor system that supplies sensor information, and an obstacle detection device for detecting the presence of an obstacle based on the sensor information. In addition, the parking assistance system has a bidirectional wireless communication device that transmits obstacle detection information about the presence of an obstacle to the remote control. The remote control also has a bidirectional wireless communication device for communication with the passenger motor vehicle. In addition, the remote control has one or more parking function operating elements for controlling the parking and/or unparking. The bidirectional communication device of the remote control receives the obstacle detection information. In addition, the remote control has signaling means for signaling the presence of an obstacle to the operator of the remote control.

17. A radio control vehicle key, comprising:
-
a base element; and a parking function operating part comprising one or more parking function operating elements for controlling at least one of parking or un-parking of a passenger motor vehicle; and a wireless transceiver that receives obstacle detection information, wherein, the wireless transceiver has a first radio mode and a second radio mode having a greater range than a range of the first radio mode, wherein, in the first radio mode, the wireless transceiver is configured to receive an emitted signal emitted by the passenger motor vehicle when the radio control vehicle key is located within the range of the first radio mode, and wherein, in the second radio mode, the wireless transceiver is configured to transmit a confirmation signal in response to receiving the emitted signal from the passenger motor vehicle, and when the parking function operating part is in a covered state, the one or more parking function operating elements of the parking function operating part are covered and cannot be operated, and the parking function operating part is transitioned from the covered state into an open state of the parking function operating part by moving the parking function operating part with respect to the base element, wherein the parking function operating elements are visible and operated when in the open state a display element that perceptively signifies, in response to receiving a signal from the passenger motor vehicle indicating that the confirmation signal had not been received, that the wireless transceiver is outside of an allowed range of the passenger motor vehicle and that the parking assistance system cannot be activated. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19)
