Abstract
A parking assistance method provides parking assistance when parking a vehicle in a parking space equipped with a ground coil for supplying electric power via a wireless connection to a vehicle coil mounted on the vehicle, at least two ground marks indicating a position of the ground coil, and a parking frame. The parking assistance method switches from a bird's-eye image including the vehicle and a circumference of the vehicle as viewed from above the vehicle to an enlarged image showing a relative position between the ground coil and the vehicle coil on a larger scale than the bird's-eye image when an absolute value of a relative angle between a longitudinal direction of the parking frame and a front-rear direction of the vehicle is a predetermined value or smaller.

A parking assistance method for providing parking assistance, using an image controller for generating a bird's-eye image including a vehicle and a circumference of the vehicle as viewed from above the vehicle from a camera image of the circumference of the vehicle captured and a display for displaying the bird's-eye image, when parking the vehicle in a parking space equipped with a ground coil for supplying electric power via a wireless connection to a vehicle coil mounted on the vehicle, at least two ground marks indicating a position of the ground coil, and a parking frame, the method comprising
- switching from the bird's-eye image to an enlarged image showing a relative position between the ground coil and the vehicle coil on a larger scale than the bird's-eye image when an absolute value of a relative angle of a straight line connecting the ground marks to a straight line passing through a center of the vehicle coil and parallel to a vehicle width direction of the vehicle is a predetermined value or smaller.
A parking assistance device used when parking a vehicle in a parking space equipped with a ground coil for supplying electric power via a wireless connection to a vehicle coil mounted on the vehicle, at least two ground marks indicating a position of the ground coil, and a parking frame, the device comprising:
- an image generation circuit configured to generate a bird's-eye image including the vehicle and a circumference of the vehicle as viewed from above the vehicle from a camera image of the circumference of the vehicle captured;
- a display for displaying the bird's-eye image;
- and
- a display control circuit configured to switch from the bird's-eye image to an enlarged image showing a relative position between the ground coil and the vehicle coil on a larger scale than the bird's-eye image when an absolute value of a relative angle of a straight line connecting the ground marks to a straight line passing through a center of the vehicle coil and parallel to a vehicle width direction of the vehicle is a predetermined value or smaller.
A parking assistance method for providing parking assistance, using an image controller for generating a bird's-eye image including a vehicle and a circumference of the vehicle as viewed from above the vehicle from a camera image of the circumference of the vehicle captured and a display for displaying the bird's-eye image, when parking the vehicle in a parking space equipped with a ground coil for supplying electric power via a wireless connection to a vehicle coil mounted on the vehicle and a parking frame, the method comprising
- switching to an enlarged image showing a relative position between the ground coil and the vehicle coil on a larger scale than the bird's-eye image when at least a frame indicating outline of the ground coil is displayed superposed on the bird's-eye image and an absolute value of a relative angle between a longitudinal direction of the parking frame and a front-rear direction of the vehicle is a predetermined value or smaller.
