According to GlobalData’s company profile on Hyundai Mobis, Driving behavior monitoring was a key innovation area identified from patents. Hyundai Mobis's grant share as of July 2024 was 46%. Grant share is based on the ratio of number of grants to total number of patents.
The patent US12065131B2 describes an innovative apparatus and method for controlling vehicle parking, focusing on optimizing parking space selection based on environmental factors, particularly sunlight and shadow movement. The system includes a location receiver to gather the vehicle's location, a sensor unit to detect surrounding obstacles and sunlight, and a parking control initiator that allows the driver to input commands for parking operations. The parking controller calculates the sun's elevation angle and azimuth, predicting shadow movements from detected objects. This information is used to assess the duration of shadows on potential parking spaces, with the controller terminating predictions when the vehicle is indoors.
Additionally, the apparatus features a mode input unit that allows drivers to select from different environmental modes—high-temperature, low-temperature, and sunlight modes. Depending on the selected mode, the parking controller determines the most suitable parking space based on shadow duration. The system also includes a display to show the location of the identified parking space. The method outlined in the patent involves receiving location data, detecting surrounding objects, and executing commands from the driver to initiate parking control. It emphasizes the importance of shadow prediction in determining optimal parking spaces, enhancing the vehicle's parking efficiency while considering temperature conditions.
