Abstract
A parking support method sets a parking route for parking a vehicle in a first parking slot, sets a branching point on the parking route, and sets a branching route for parking the vehicle in a second parking slot from the branching point. When a change instruction operation is detected while the vehicle is being automatically parked along the first parking route, the vehicle is automatically parked along the branching route.
Claims19
A parking support method comprising:
- receiving operation from a passenger of a vehicle;
- detecting a parking slot;
- setting a parking route for the vehicle;
- setting a branching route that branches from the parking route;
- and
- performing automatic parking of the vehicle along the parking route;
- wherein,
- when a plurality of the parking slots are detected in the detecting the parking slot,
- the setting the parking route includes setting a parking route for parking the vehicle in a first parking slot, and
- the setting the branching route includes setting a branching point on the parking route and setting a branching route for parking the vehicle in a second parking slot from the branching point, and
- the parking support method further comprises:
- in the performing the automatic parking, receiving a change instruction operation for changing a target parking slot while the automatic parking of the vehicle is performed along a first parking route, and
- in the receiving the change instruction operation, performing the automatic parking of the vehicle along the branching route when the change instruction operation is detected.

A parking support apparatus comprising:
- a processor that performs
- receiving operation from a passenger of a vehicle,
- detecting a parking slot,
- setting a parking route for the vehicle, and
- performing automatic parking of the vehicle along the parking route,
- wherein the processor performs
- in the setting the parking route, setting a branching route that branches from the parking route,
- when a plurality of the parking slots are detected in the detecting the parking slot,
- setting a parking route for parking the vehicle in a first parking slot, and
- setting a branching point on the parking route and setting a branching route for parking the vehicle in a second parking slot from the branching point,
- in the automatic parking, receiving a change instruction operation for changing a target parking slot while the automatic parking of the vehicle is performed along a first parking route, and
- performing the automatic parking of the vehicle along the branching route when the change instruction operation is detected.
9 more elements
A computer-readable recording medium storing a parking support program, the parking support program causing a computer of a vehicle to execute:
- reception processing of receiving operation from a passenger of the vehicle;
- detection processing of detecting a parking slot;
- route setting processing of setting a parking route for the vehicle;
- branching setting processing of setting a branching route that branches from the parking route;
- and
- automatic parking processing of performing automatic parking of the vehicle along the parking route,
- wherein
- when a plurality of the parking slots are detected in the detection processing,
- the route setting processing includes processing of setting a parking route for parking the vehicle in a first parking slot, and
- the branching setting processing includes processing of setting a branching point on the parking route and setting a branching route for parking the vehicle in a second parking slot from the branching point, and
- in the automatic parking processing, the parking support program causes the computer to further execute:
- processing of receiving a change instruction operation for changing a target parking slot while the automatic parking of the vehicle is performed along a first parking route, and
- processing of performing the automatic parking of the vehicle along the branching route when the change instruction operation is detected in the processing of receiving the change instruction operation.
