Parking assist system with image obtaining means and displaying means
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A parking assist system comprising:
- an image obtaining means for obtaining an image of a view from a vehicle;
a displaying means for displaying the image obtained by the image obtaining means in a monitor display provided in the vehicle;
an inputting means for inputting a target parking position, at which the vehicle is parked, on the monitor display;
a detecting means for detecting a relative relationship between the vehicle and the target parking position;
a judging means for judging whether or not the vehicle can be parked at the target parking position upon a parallel-parking mode of the vehicle based upon the relative relationship detected by the detecting means; and
wherein the judging means judges whether or not the vehicle can be parked at the target parking position based upon an expected path generated in combination with a single turning movement to one side of the vehicle, a single turning movement to the other side of the vehicle, and a straight movement.

6. A parking assist system comprising:
-
image obtaining means for obtaining an image of a view from a vehicle;
displaying means for displaying the image obtained by the image obtaining means in a monitor display provided in the vehicle;
inputting means for inputting a target parking position, at which the vehicle is parked, on the monitor display;
detecting means for detecting a relative relationship between the vehicle and the target parking position; and
judging means for judging that the vehicle located at an original position can be parked at the target parking position based upon satisfaction of all of the following conditions;
(1) a straight line extending from a coordinate (X0, Z0) at a parking angle (θ
) relative to the Z axis intersects the X axis within a negative area of the X axis, wherein the coordinate (X0, Z0) represents the coordinate of the target parking position;
(2) a distance D is substantially equal to or greater than a minimum turning radius Rmin of the vehicle, where the distance D represents the distance between a guiding center of a minimum turning operation of the vehicle at the original point (0, 0) and a coordinate (X1, Z1), and the coordinate (X1, Z1) represents a turning end point of an expected arched path of movement of the vehicle during parking; and
(3) a vehicle angle φ
generated in response to turning movement of the vehicle at the minimum turning radius Rmin is substantially equal to or greater than the parking angle (θ
). - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 15)

11. A parking assist system comprising:
-
image obtaining means for obtaining an image of a view from a vehicle;
displaying means for displaying the image obtained by the image obtaining means in a monitor display provided in the vehicle;
inputting means for inputting a target parking position, at which the vehicle is parked, on the monitor display;
detecting means for detecting a relative relationship between the vehicle and the target parking position; and
judging means for judging that the vehicle can be parked at the target parking position based upon satisfaction of the condition (2Rmin−
