  • Patent number: 10407008
    Abstract: A method for operating a vehicle in at least one parking process situation involves allocating at least one predetermined vehicle-specific or parking process situation-specific function to the at least one predetermined parking process situation of the vehicle. Whether the vehicle is in the at least one predetermined parking process situation is determined and the predetermined vehicle-specific or parking process situation-specific function allocated to the at least one predetermined parking process situation is presented to a vehicle user for activation or automatically activated when the vehicle is in the at least one predetermined parking process situation.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10179585
    Abstract: A method of moving a vehicle from a start position to end position when the end position cannot be detected by the vehicle's built-in sensors involves determining the start position by a mobile terminal or by the vehicle and determining the end position by the mobile terminal. A driving trajectory of the vehicle is planned within the vehicle, a driving maneuver of the vehicle is initiated by the vehicle or the mobile terminal, and the planned driving maneuver is carried out to reach the end position.

  • Publication number: 20160170494
    Abstract: A method and a device for the remote control of a function of a vehicle is disclosed. A wireless communication connection is established between a portable operating device and the vehicle. A gesture executed by a user is detected by the portable operating device and transmitted, for controlling the function, to the vehicle by the communication connection. The function is executed if the detected gesture corresponds to a predefined gesture allocated to the function. The predefined gesture corresponds to a continuous movement and the function is executed only as long as the gesture executed by the user is detected.

  • Publication number: 20150203111
    Abstract: A method for performing an automatic parking process of a vehicle involves offering a user a selection between at least two parking maneuver for implementing by a driver assistance system in the vehicle. The first parking maneuver is a direct parking maneuver in which an automatic parking process is performed from the start position directly to the target position along the trajectory. The second parking maneuver involves providing a break point the parking trajectory so that a user can disembark the vehicle at the break point and prior to the target position.

  • Publication number: 20150088360
    Abstract: An autonomous parking procedure of a motor vehicle involves transferring a command to activate the autonomous parking procedure using a communication link between an operator situated outside the motor vehicle and the motor vehicle. Before beginning the autonomous parking procedure of the motor vehicle the target position and/or last driven trajectory of the motor vehicle is stored in a storage device. The motor vehicle then performs the parking procedure autonomously from the start position using the stored data after the first activation of the autonomous parking procedure.
