Abstract:
An apparatus and method for assisting a vehicle into a desired position within a parking space. The device uses non-uniform light strength light line or other pattern projection to generate highlighted projections onto a target at a vehicle dashboard. The user may form a strong projection by focusing multi laser projections to overlap each other at the target. The driver knows the location of the vehicle by memorizing the patterns along the projections relative to the locations in the parking space. The driver maneuvers the vehicle direction and speed in order to make the projections onto the target, to avoid hitting the garage door frame, and to park on a desired position inside the parking space. The devices can be used for both guiding the vehicle into the parking space at a predetermined path to avoid nearby objects and stopping the vehicle at the desired place and direction.

Claim (Index 1):
A parking aid apparatus for guiding a vehicle into a desired parking position through a predetermined parking pass, comprising:\n a housing for mounting to a structure; one or a plurality of light sources mounted in said housing and producing light pattern projections with visible pattern or short light line along said parking pass; each of said light source including means for independently adjusting the position of said light source relative to said housing by moving the said light source at an angle to the housing so as to adjust said light projection onto a selectable location of said vehicle when said vehicle is in the predetermined parking pass location; each of said light projection source including means independently adjusted within the housing so that said the light projection impinges on said parking pass of said vehicle at a selectable angle to the predetermined vehicle parking moving direction; and an electrical source powers said light sources.
