  • Patent number: 11308805
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a parking space notification device and method. The parking space notification device for checking parking sections and a parking space, which includes image sensors each configured to detect a parking section and a parking space using images, distance detection sensors each configured to detect a parking section and a parking space using distances to obstacles, a controller configured to process information about all of the parking sections and the parking spaces by using information about the parking section and information about the parking space which are detected by at least one of the image sensors or the distance detection sensors, and a memory storing information data about all of the parking sections and the parking space, which is processed by the controller. The controller detects a parking or leaving event using the image sensors and updates the information data stored in the memory when the event occurs.

  • Patent number: 9269269
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a blind spot warning system and method for sensing a vehicle in a blind spot of a vehicle and warning thereof in advance, the blind spot warning system comprising a line-to-line space-generating unit that generates, in real time, line-to-line space data, which changes when the host vehicle is driven; a distance-measuring unit, which measures the distance between the host vehicle and a target vehicle located in a blind spot of the host vehicle; an input unit, which receives the line-to-line space data and the distance measurement information; a comparison unit, which compares the target vehicle distance data with the line-to-line space data to decide whether the target vehicle is located within the threshold vehicle-to-vehicle distance; and a warning output unit for outputting a warning if the target vehicle is located within the threshold vehicle-to-vehicle distance in the blind spot.
