Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for operating a parking assistance apparatus ( 1 ) of a motor vehicle ( 2 ) having an attached trailer ( 3 ), involving: a) a first image of surroundings ( 6 ) of the motor vehicle ( 2 ) on which the trailer ( 3 ) is portrayed being produced by a first camera unit ( 4 ), arranged on the motor vehicle ( 2 ), of the parking assistance apparatus ( 1 ); b) a second image of surroundings ( 6 ) of the trailer ( 3 ) being produced by a second camera unit ( 5 ), arranged on the trailer ( 3 ), of the parking assistance apparatus ( 1 ); c) a combined view ( 16 ) of the surroundings ( 6 ) being produced from the first and second images, wherein an image area ( 17 ) of the first image that is occupied by the trailer ( 3 ) has at least areas overlaid with a piece of image information from the second image, so that the trailer ( 3 ) in the combined view ( 16 ) has at least areas depicted transparently in front of the surroundings ( 6 ) portrayed in the second image, by a computation unit ( 7 ) of the parking assistance apparatus ( 1 ); d) the combined view ( 16 ) being displayed by a display unit ( 8 ) of the parking assistance apparatus ( 1 ) with a desired travel trajectory ( 9 ) for the trailer ( 3 ) overlaid on the view ( 16 ); e) a profile for the desired travel trajectory ( 9 ) being selected by means of operation of an operator control device of the motor vehicle ( 2 ); and f) an at least semi-automated parking process being started in which the trailer ( 3 ) is automatically kept on the desired travel trajectory ( 9 ) having the selected profile, in order to simplify operator control of the parking assistance apparatus ( 1 ) and hence parking assisted by the parking assistance apparatus ( 2 ).

Claim (Index 4):
The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the parking assistance apparatus performs obstacle detection for the surroundings of the motor vehicle, and, when an obstacle is detected for a particular profile of the desired travel trajectory in the area of the ground over which the motor vehicle travels when following this desired travel trajectory, the particular profile cannot be selected for the at least semi-automated parking process.
