Abstract

Parking disc for mounting on a vehicle in a location so as to be at least externally visible for indicating a time for initiation of the parking with an electronic display which shows the actual time during normal driving and during parking constantly shows the time of initiation of the parking. The parking disc is designed so that switching the display when resuming driving is effected on the basis of an electric signal from at least one detector that determines an actual relative movement of the vehicle in excess of a minimum value with the electronic parking disc continuing to show a fixed time that indicates initiation of parking until the mentioned detector has determined the minimum value of movement of the vehicle has occur. This value may, e.g., be that the vehicle has moved at least a certain distance from the point at which parking had been initiated.

Claims7

Dependent claims

A parking disc for vehicles which parking disc comprises at least a display placed so that it is visible from the outside of a vehicle, which parking disc is configured in a first mode of operation to indicate actual time during driving motion of the vehicle based on an electronic clock and is operatively configured with a first detector that adapted for detecting driving motion of the vehicle and for detecting stopping of the driving motion of the vehicle, the parking disc being responsive to detecting of stopping of the driving motion of the vehicle for switching operation of the parking disk to a parking detection second mode of operation in which the parking initiation time is displayed;

and in response to detection of driving motion of the vehicle being resumed by the first motion detector, the parking disc being adapted to end the parking detection mode and to again indicate the actual time in the first mode of operation once a second detector detects turning of the vehicle, the second detector being a gyro sensor, thereby switching the display into the first mode of operation to indicate the actual time by the vehicle being turned and moved a limited distance in relation to a point at which the parking initiation time has been displayed:
wherein the parking disk is adapted for switching back into a driving motion mode upon detection of a minimum turning curve in a uniform turning direction over a predefined period of time by the second detector.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
