The remote automatic parking support system includes a first mode and a second mode. In the first mode, automatic parking is performed based on a parking request from a smart key or a smartphone of a driver positioned extraneous to a vehicle and in the second mode, automatic parking is performed based on a parking request from a switch mounted within the vehicle. The vehicle is guided in first mode or the second mode based on a surrounding environment, thereby providing optimal convenience to the driver. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method for guiding a vehicle in a parking mode in an automatic parking support system, comprising: detecting, by a processor, a surrounding environment when a parking space is detected; receiving, by the processor, an authorization of automatic parking from a user; guiding, by the processor, the vehicle in a first parking mode in which automatic parking is performed based on a parking request from a user terminal positioned extraneous to a vehicle or a second mode in which automatic parking is performed based on a parking request from a driver within the vehicle, based on the detected surrounding environment; performing, by the processor, automatic parking in a parking mode selected by a user; and upon receiving a user intervention, performing, by the processor, one or more of stopping the vehicle and cancelling the automatic parking, wherein the user is the driver or an operator located outside the vehicle and remotely controls the vehicle. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, further comprising: providing, by the controller, over a control of the vehicle to the driver when the vehicle reaches a desired parking space. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, further comprising: searching, by the processor, for a parking space and presenting possible candidates for the parking space to the driver; and receiving, by the processor, a driver input indicating a desired parking space. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein the user intervention includes braking, main switch OFF, shift operations, and steering. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein, in the detecting of the surrounding environment, at least one selected from the group consisting of: a width of the parking space, a weather condition, an outdoor temperature, and a parking state of a neighbor vehicle is detected. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The method according to claim 5, wherein, in the guiding of the vehicle, when the width of the parking space is less than a reference value, the vehicle is guided in the first parking mode. ### Claim 7 (depends on 5) The method according to claim 5, wherein, in the guiding of the vehicle, when rain is detected, when the outdoor temperature exceeds a first threshold value, and when the outdoor temperature is less than a second threshold value, the vehicle is guided in the second parking mode. ### Claim 8 (depends on 5) The method according to claim 5, wherein, in the performing of the automatic parking, front end parking or back-in parking is automatically selected based on the parking state of the neighbor vehicle. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein, in the automatic parking, when an auto-hold function of the vehicle is in an ON state, the auto-hold function is automatically released and automatic parking is performed. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein, in the automatic parking, when automatic parking ends, park-position shifting is performed and an engine of the vehicle is subsequently turned off. ### Claim 11 An automatic parking support system for a vehicle, comprising: an input configured to receive an input indicating a desired parking space, an authorization of automatic parking, and a selection signal regarding a parking mode from a user; a controller configured to guide the vehicle in a first parking mode in which automatic parking is performed based on a parking request from a user terminal or a second parking mode in which automatic parking is performed based on a parking request from a driver within the vehicle based on a surrounding environment and, when receiving a user intervention, to perform one or more of stopping the vehicle and cancelling the automatic parking; a sensor configured to detect the surrounding environment; and a display configured to output possible candidates for a parking space the first parking mode or the second parking mode, wherein the user is the driver or an operator located outside the vehicle and remotely controls the vehicle. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The system of claim 11, wherein the controller is further configured to provide over a control of the vehicle to the driver when the vehicle reaches a desired parking space. ### Claim 13 (depends on 11) The system of claim 11, wherein the user intervention includes braking, main switch OFF, shift operations, and steering. ### Claim 14 (depends on 11) The system of claim 11, wherein the surrounding environment detected by the sensor includes at least one selected from the group consisting of: a width of the parking space, a weather condition, an outdoor temperature, and a parking state of a neighbor vehicle is detected. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The system of claim 14, wherein when the width of the parking space is less than a reference value, the controller is configured to guide the vehicle in the first parking mode. ### Claim 16 (depends on 14) The system of claim 14, wherein when rain is detected, when the outdoor temperature exceeds a first threshold value, and when the outdoor temperature is less than a second threshold value, the controller is configured to guide the vehicle in the second parking mode. ### Claim 17 (depends on 14) The system of claim 14, wherein front end parking or back-in parking is automatically selected based on the parking state of the neighbor vehicle. ### Claim 18 A non-transitory computer readable medium containing program instructions executed by a processor for guiding a vehicle in a parking mode in an automatic parking support system, the computer readable medium comprising: program instructions that detect a surrounding environment when a parking space is detected; program instructions that receive an authorization of automatic parking from a user; program instructions that guide the vehicle in a first parking mode in which automatic parking is performed based on a parking request from a user terminal positioned extraneous to a vehicle or a second mode in which automatic parking is performed based on a parking request from a driver within the vehicle, based on the detected surrounding environment; program instructions that perform automatic parking in a parking mode selected by a user; and program instructions that perform one or more of stopping the vehicle and cancelling the automatic parking upon receiving a user intervention, wherein the user is the driver or an operator located outside the vehicle and remotely controls the vehicle. ### Claim 19 (depends on 18) The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 18, wherein the user intervention includes braking, main switch OFF, shift operations, and steering. ### Claim 20 (depends on 18) The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 18, further comprising: program instructions that search for a parking space and present possible candidates for the parking space to the driver; and program instructions that receive a driver input indicating a desired parking space.
