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 11):
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 projection source including means for independently adjusting the position of said light source relative to said housing within the housing so as to adjust of 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 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, where said light patterns from the same said base are prohibited to overlap each other within a predetermined distance, and if said recitation are met then an inherent characteristic would be the results prevent said laser projections being over a predetermined strength of laser light that the human eye may receive, where electrical sensors and switch circuits are installed inside said apparatus to constrain said laser projections from overlapping each other within a predetermined distance. When said laser beams overlap each other within said predetermined distance said circuits will switch off said lasers and may turn on a warning light.
