Abstract

The invention relates to a method for operating a motor vehicle during a remote parking procedure, having the steps of reading in a position and/or spatial location data set indicative of a position and/or spatial location of a mobile device of a driver during the remote parking procedure, generating an output data set based on a comparison of the position and/or spatial location data set with a predetermined position and/or spatial location for the mobile device, wherein the output data set contains data indicative of a deviation of a current position of the mobile device according to the position and/or spatial location data set from the predetermined position and/or spatial location, and outputting the output data set with the data indicative of the deviation via the mobile device.

Claims (29)

1 . A computer-implemented method for operating a motor vehicle during a remote parking procedure, comprising:

reading in, using one or more sensors of a mobile device, at least one of position or spatial location data set indicative of a position and/or spatial location of the mobile device of a driver during the remote parking procedure;

generating an output data set based on a comparison of the position and/or spatial location data set with a predetermined position and/or spatial location for the mobile device, wherein the output data set contains data indicative of a deviation of a current position of the mobile device according to the position and/or spatial location data set from the predetermined position and/or spatial location;

outputting the output data set with the data indicative of the deviation via the mobile device;

determining, based on the output data set, that the deviation exceeds a maximum deviation threshold; and

stopping the motor vehicle and terminating the remote parking procedure.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the predetermined position and/or spatial location is defined by the driver via the mobile device.

3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the output data set contains an image data set that is displayed on a screen of the mobile device.

4 . The method according to claim 3 , wherein the image data set defines the maximum deviation threshold.

5 . A mobile device for operating a motor vehicle during a remote parking procedure, comprising:

computer hardware and software, when executed, that causes the mobile device to:

determine, using one or more sensors of the mobile device, a position and/or spatial location data set indicative of a position and/or spatial location of the mobile device of a driver during the remote parking procedure;

generate an output data set based on a comparison of the position and/or spatial location data set with a predetermined position and/or spatial location for the mobile device, wherein the output data set contains data indicative of a deviation of a current position of the mobile device according to the position and/or spatial location data set from the predetermined position and/or spatial location;

output the output data set with the data indicative of the deviation via the mobile device;

determine that the deviation exceeds a maximum deviation threshold; and

terminate the remote parking procedure.

6 . The mobile device according to claim 5 , wherein the predetermined position and/or spatial location can be defined by the driver via the mobile device.

7 . The mobile device according to claim 5 , wherein the output data set contains an image data that is reproduced on a screen of the mobile device.

8 . The mobile device according to claim 7 , wherein the image data set defines the maximum deviation threshold.

9 . A system, comprising:

computer hardware and software, when executed, that causes the system to:

determine a position and/or spatial location data set indicative of a position and/or spatial location of a mobile device of a driver during the remote parking procedure,

generate an output data set based on a comparison of the position and/or spatial location data set with a predetermined position and/or spatial location for the mobile device, wherein the output data set contains data indicative of a deviation of a current position of the mobile device according to the position and/or spatial location data set from the predetermined position and/or spatial location;

cause the output the output data set with the data indicative of the deviation via the mobile device;

determine that the deviation exceeds a maximum deviation threshold; and

terminate the remote parking procedure.

10 . The system according to claim 9 , wherein the predetermined position and/or spatial location can be defined by the driver via the mobile device.

11 . The system according to claim 9 , wherein the output data set contains an image data set that is reproduced on a screen of the mobile device.

12 . The system according to claim 11 , wherein the image data set defines the maximum deviation threshold.
