RecordContent• Full-text of patent applications and granted patents in Germany from application
publication year 1877 onwards.
• Records are available about a week after publication with the complete content.
• Records contain bibliographic data including patent applicant and inventor, patent,
application, priority, and related application data, IPC, CPC, and EPC/ICO
classification codes, abstract, and full-text of description and claims.
• Titles, Abstracts, Descriptions and Claims are available in German and machinetranslated to English.
• Standardized and normalized patent assignee names are searchable in their own
fields /PAS and /PAN.
• Ultimate Owners are searchable in the field /UO and /UOS.
• Numeric values of 59 physical and chemical properties are searchable in about 20,000
variants of the base and additional units within all full-text fields in English.
• Key Terms, indexed and displayed in the field /KT, enhance retrieval of relevant
results, and make the evaluation of results more efficient. They are useful to broaden
search scope more precisely than Basic Index searches.
• Database records comprise all documents published for one application.
• Some of the full-text has been created by Optical Character Recognition (OCR)
software. Therefore, characters may be misinterpreted, or portions of the text may be
incomplete.

File Size• More than 6.2 million family records with more than 7.7 million publications from 1877
to present (08/2024)• More than 5 million front-page images (08/2024)

Search and Display Field Codes

If multiple search terms are linked with an AND-operator, all terms are searched in the complete databaserecord, i.e., in all publications referring to one application. For a search in a specific publication of the record,connect the search term and the patent kind code with the (L)-proximity operator, e.g.,
S BOREHOLE/AB,TI,CLM (L) DEA1/PK limits the search to German applications DEA1.
Fields that allow left truncation are indicated by an asterisk (*).

DEFULLDISPLAY and PRINT Formats
Any combination of formats may be used to display or print answers. Multiple codes must be separated by
spaces or commas, e.g., D L1 1-5 TI PA. The fields are displayed or printed in the order requested.
The information of the latest publication is displayed by default. To display the content for all levels of therecord you can combine all display fields and formats with the qualifier .M except FA, SCAN, and TRIAL.
For displaying a particular publication of a database record, you can simply add for certain display field thekind code to the appropriate display format, e.g., ALL.A. Fields that allow this are indicated by a number (3).
Hit-term highlighting is available for all fields. Highlighting must be ON during SEARCH to use the HIT, KWIC,
and OCC formats. The default display format is STD.M, i.e., all publication levels of one family in the STD
format.

kraftfahrzeugseitige Kupplungsteil waehrend der Rueckwaertsfahrt unterdem anhaengerseitigen Kupplungsteil zu liegen kommt. Kommt der
kraftfahrseitige Kupplungsteil moeglichst praezise unter dem
anhaengerseitigen Kupplungsteil zu liegen, dann erlaubt ein einfaches
Absenken des anhaengerseitigen Kupplungsteils eine kraftsparende
Ankopplung des Anhaengers an das Kraftfahrzeug bzw. Zugfahrzeug.
[DESC0004] [0004] Eine vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung des erfindungsgemaessen
Verfahrens ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass- mittels einer am Kraftfahrzeug angebrachten Heckkamera derrueckwaertige Bereich des Kraftfahrzeugs sowie der kraftfahrzeugseitige
und anhaengerseitige Kupplungsteil erfasst und als Bild im
Anzeigeelement optisch dargestellt werden und- die ermittelte Trajektorie des kraftfahrzeugseitigen Kupplungsteils
dem Bild im Anzeigeinstrument ueberlagert wird, so dass fuer den Fahrer
erkennbar ist, ob bei Beibehaltung des Lenkwinkels derkraftfahrzeugseitige Kupplungsteil waehrend der Rueckwaertsfahrt unterdem anhaengerseitigen Kupplungsteil zu liegen kommt oder nicht. Dadurcherhaelt die in zahlreichen Fahrzeugen bereits vorhandene Rueckfahrkamera
einen weiteren Nutzen und die Erfindung ist dann ohne nennenswerten
Hardwareaufwand zu realisieren.

[DESC0006] [0006] Eine vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist
dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass der Fahrer mittels eines Bedienelements
vorgeben kann, ob waehrend der Rueckwaertsfahrt die zukuenftige
Trajektorie des kraftfahrzeugseitigen Kupplungsteils ermittelt wird
und/oder ob die ermittelte Trajektorie in das Bild der Rueckfahrkamera
eingeblendet wird bzw. diesem ueberlagert wird. Dies erlaubt dem Fahrer,das erfindungsgemaesse Verfahren nur dann zu aktivieren, wenn er einen
Anhaenger an sein Fahrzeug ankuppeln moechte.
[DESC0010] [0010] 1 zeigt eine schematische Darstellung desAufnahmebereichs 100 einer Rueckfahrkamera. Eingezeichnet sind ein
Kraftfahrzeug 103 mit einer fahrzeugseitigen Kupplungskomponente 106,
an welches ein Anhaenger 104 mit einer anhaengerseitigen
Kupplungskomponente 105 angekoppelt werden soll. Zum Ankoppelmanoever
schlaegt der Fahrer des Kraftfahrzeugs die Vorderraeder 107 ein undfaehrt rueckwaerts. Bei der Rueckwaertsfahrt bewegen sich die Raeder
entlang der ermittelten Trajektorien 101 und die fahrzeugseitige
Kupplungskomponente 106 entlang der ermittelten Trajektorie 102. Die
Trajektorie 102 wird dabei anhand des Lenkwinkels der Raeder 107
ermittelt. Diese Trajektorie wird in das Bild der Rueckfahrkamera soeingebaut bzw. diesem so ueberlagert bzw. so eingezeichnet, dass derFahrer erkennen kann, ob die Kupplungskomponenten nach der
Rueckwaertsfahrt uebereinander zu liegen kommen oder nicht.
