  • Patent number: 12248314
    Abstract: A method for activating an automated parking maneuver to be carried out via a parking assistance system with a motor vehicle is provided. The parking assistance system can be operated remotely from outside the motor vehicle by way of a mobile communications device. The method includes outputting an instruction via the mobile communications device for the user-side execution of a predefined activation movement of the mobile communications device; determining first sensor information relating to the activation movement of the communications device by way of a communications-device-side sensor system; detecting an activation movement of the mobile communications device carried out by the mobile communications device based on the first sensor information; and activating the parking maneuver according to the detection of the activation movement of the mobile communications device.

  • Publication number: 20220097685
    Abstract: A system is configured to control an ego motor vehicle in an automated driving mode with at least automated longitudinal guidance. A parking space is detected during the automated driving mode with at least automated longitudinal guidance. It is checked whether there is a following vehicle behind the vehicle in question. If there is a following vehicle, in a first action alternative the system can bring the motor vehicle to a standstill in a stationary position in which the motor vehicle is not yet located after the parking space. After the motor vehicle reaches the stationary position, the motor vehicle is driven past the parking space in an automated fashion, and the motor vehicle is then brought to a standstill in a stationary position in which it is located after the parking space, in order then for the motor vehicle to be parked in the parking space in reverse in an automated fashion.

  • Publication number: 20220017073
    Abstract: A parking assistance system for a motor vehicle includes a user interface for interaction with the user and a control unit. The control unit is configured to display various types of maneuver which can be selected on the user side in a maneuver type display. In addition, the control unit is configured to receive a selection of a maneuver type from the displayed maneuver types. In addition, the control unit is configured to display a set of available maneuver targets only for the selected maneuver type, which targets can be selected by the user via the user interface, on a maneuver target display of the user interface. The system then receives a selection of a maneuver target from the set of available maneuver targets for the selected maneuver type. The selected maneuver target is then parked with at least automated lateral guidance for the selected maneuver type.

  • Patent number: 11200804
    Abstract: A method for operating a display unit in a vehicle includes detecting a parking space and collision obstacles. The collision obstacles are obstacles located in the vicinity of the vehicle and/or the parking space. A relative position of the vehicle to the parking space is determined. A control signal is generated to generate an image on the display unit according to the relative position of the vehicle to the parking space. The image comprises a virtual vehicle, a virtual parking space and schematic elements. The virtual vehicle is a schematic representation of the vehicle. The virtual parking space is a schematic representation of the parking space. The schematic elements are a schematic representation of the collision obstacles.

  • Patent number: 9738279
    Abstract: The invention relates to determining a lane course with the aid of a plurality of recorded routes of vehicles using a compensation curve. Each of the plurality of recorded routes includes individual position indications in an order of passing during a respective journey. The method includes selecting a route from the plurality of recorded routes, determining a number of checkpoints for the compensation curve based on the selected route, and determining an initial compensation curve based on the number of checkpoints and the selected route from the plurality of routes.
