Abstract

A remote parking control system capable of displaying an operating state of a vehicle received from a vehicle controller to a smart device when a second authentication is completed through a pairing of the smart device in which a first authentication is completed through a pairing of the smart device and a smart key, and the vehicle controller, and a control method thereof are provided.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A remote parking control system controlling an automatic parking of a vehicle using a smart key which remotely transmits a parking signal to the vehicle, comprising:
a vehicle controller configured to confirm a parking space in which the vehicle is able to be parked and control the vehicle to be automatically parked based on the parking signal of the smart key; and
a smart device configured to communicate with each of the smart key and the vehicle controller,
wherein the smart device performs a pairing with the smart key, and completes a first authentication of the smart key, and
after the first authentication is completed, the smart device performs a pairing with the vehicle controller, completes a second authentication of the vehicle controller, and receives and displays an operating state of the vehicle according to a parking path generated for the parking of the vehicle.

2. The remote parking control system of claim 1 , wherein the smart device comprises:
a button unit configured to request the pairing with the smart key, and request the pairing with the vehicle controller after the first authentication of the smart key is performed; and
a display unit configured to display an authentication result with the smart key.

3. The remote parking control system of claim 2 , wherein the display unit displays the operating state performing a parking control of the vehicle received from the vehicle controller, and peripheral image information acquired through a camera.

4. The remote parking control system of claim 2 , wherein the smart device further comprises:
an indicator indicating whether the pairing is completed when pairing with the smart key or the vehicle controller.

5. The remote parking control system of claim 3 , wherein the display unit comprises a soft key instructing at least one among a start, a pause, and a stop for the parking control of the vehicle.

6. The remote parking control system of claim 3 , wherein the smart device further comprises:
a storage unit configured to store first identification information for an authentication of the smart key and second identification information for an authentication of the vehicle controller;
a transmission unit configured to transmit a first request signal for the pairing to the smart key;
a reception unit configured to receive third identification information which is previously stored in the smart key from the smart key in response to the first request signal;
an authentication executor configured to compare the first identification information and the third identification information, and perform the first authentication between the smart device and the smart key based on the comparison result; and
a display processing unit configured to display a first authentication result on the display unit when the first authentication of the smart key is normally completed.

7. The remote parking control system of claim 6 , wherein the transmission unit transmits a second request signal for the pairing to the vehicle controller when the first authentication is normally completed,
the reception unit receives fourth identification information which is previously stored in the vehicle controller from the vehicle controller in response to the second request signal,
the authentication executor compares the second identification information and the fourth identification information, and performs the second authentication between the smart device and the vehicle controller based on the comparison result, and
the display processing unit displays a second authentication result on the display unit when the second authentication is normally completed.

8. A control method of a remote parking control system including a vehicle controller configured to confirm a parking space in which a vehicle is able to be parked and control the vehicle to be automatically parked based on a parking signal of a smart key which remotely transmits the parking signal to the vehicle; and a smart device configured to communicate with each of the smart key and the vehicle controller, the method comprising:
performing a pairing with the smart key, and performing a first authentication of the smart key by the smart device; and
after the first authentication of the smart key is completed, performing a pairing of the smart device and the vehicle controller, and performing a second authentication of the vehicle controller; and
when the second authentication of the vehicle controller is completed, receiving and displaying an operating state of the vehicle according to a parking path generated for the parking of the vehicle.

9. The control method of the remote parking control system of claim 8 , wherein first authentication information for an authentication of the smart key is stored in the smart device, and
the performing of the first authentication of the smart key comprises:
transmitting a first request signal for the pairing to the smart key by the smart device;
when the smart key transmits third identification information of the smart key in response to the first request signal, receiving the third identification information by the smart device; and
when the smart device compares the first identification information and the third identification information, normally completing the first authentication of the smart key when it is determined that the first identification information and the third identification information are identical.

10. The control method of the remote parking control system of claim 9 , wherein second identification information for an authentication of the vehicle controller is stored in the smart device, and
the performing of the second authentication of the vehicle controller comprises:
transmitting a second request signal for the pairing to the vehicle controller by smart device;
when the vehicle controller transmits fourth identification information of the vehicle controller in response to the second request signal, receiving the fourth identification information by the smart device; and
when the smart device compares the second identification information and the fourth identification information and determines that the second identification information and the fourth identification information are identical, normally completing the first authentication of the smart key.

11. The control method of the remote parking control system of claim 9 , wherein the receiving and displaying of the operating state of the vehicle comprises:
displaying a first authentication result on a display unit included in the smart device when the first authentication is completed.

12. The control method of the remote parking control system of claim 10 , wherein the receiving and displaying of the operating state of the vehicle comprises:
displaying a second authentication result on a display unit included in the smart device when the second authentication is completed.

13. The control method of the remote parking control system of claim 8 , wherein the receiving and displaying of the operating state of the vehicle comprises:
displaying an operating state performing a parking control of the vehicle received from the vehicle controller and peripheral image information acquired through a camera installed in the vehicle.
