A method for operating a first vehicle (100) with a parking assistance system (110) is proposed, comprising: a) sensing an obstructing parked position (BP) of the first vehicle (100) by means of the parking assistance system (110), wherein the obstructing parked position (BP) is a parked position which adjoins a parking space (PP) occupied by a parked second vehicle (150), b) reception of a sensor signal, acquired by a sensor apparatus (120, 130) of the vehicle (100), by means of the parking assistance system (110), c) detecting a request to exit a parking space of the parked second vehicle (150) in accordance with the received sensor signal by means of the parking assistance system (110), and d) autonomously driving the first vehicle (100) from the obstructing parked position (BP) into a position which is different from the obstructing parked position (BP) in accordance with the detected request to exit a parking space by means of the parking assistance system (110).

A smart street parking management system includes a smart street parking meter a smart cloud parking management server connected to the smart street parking meter through a wireless networking technology and configured to regularly receive parking information of a vehicle parked on a smart street parking grid and status information of the smart street parking meter uploaded by the smart street parking meter. The status information of the smart street parking meter includes an empty-space status of the street parking grid detected by the smart street parking meter and a battery status of a rechargeable battery of the smart street parking meter. The parking information of the vehicle includes the plate number of the vehicle, the parking fee of the vehicle, and a payment status of the parking fee of the vehicle.

A device can receive parking metadata that includes location data indicating that a portion of a vehicle is located outside of a designated parking area (DPA). The device can process the parking metadata to identify values that are to be used when determining actions to perform. The device can obtain supplemental events data associated with events occurring near the DPA. The device can determine the actions to perform based on the parking metadata and the supplemental events data. The device can provide, as one of the actions and to one or more other devices or to the vehicle, a message indicating that the portion of the vehicle is located outside of the DPA. This can cause the one or more other devices or the vehicle to: move the vehicle from the DPA, reposition the vehicle within the DPA, or penalize an owner of the vehicle.

A vehicle-searching guidance method includes: displaying a vehicle-searching guidance interface in response to a first trigger operation on a first control, the vehicle-searching guidance interface being used for providing guidance information for vehicle searching; transmitting a multimedia content obtaining request to an electronic device in response to a second trigger operation on a second control on the vehicle-searching guidance interface; receiving multimedia guidance content returned by the electronic device according to the multimedia content obtaining request, the multimedia guidance content including environmental information of a parking space in which a vehicle is parked; and presenting the multimedia guidance content for a user to search for the vehicle.

Provided are a method and apparatus for processing a parking space state, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium. The method includes: acquiring parking space state association data determined by parking space monitoring devices in a target parking lot, where the parking space monitoring devices comprise an in-parking space monitoring device and an out-parking space monitoring device; determining a parking space state of a target parking space in the target parking lot according to the parking space state association data; and updating, according to the parking space state of the target parking space, parking space state data in a multi-source parking space management platform to which the target parking space belongs.

A parking management system includes a guide robot disposed in a parking space provided with a plurality of parking areas, the guide robot being configured to be matched with a vehicle entering the parking space and to be driven ahead of the matched vehicle to guide the matched vehicle to an allocated parking area, and a management server configured to recognize the vehicle entering the parking space, to match the recognized vehicle with the guide robot, to monitor the parking space to identify a parking status of each of the parking areas, to allocate a parking area to the matched vehicle based on the identified parking status, and to control the guide robot to be driven to the allocated parking area.

A networked monitoring apparatus, and a monitoring system and monitoring method based on the apparatus, are disclosed. The apparatus includes at least one sensor, a wireless networking module and a processor operably connected to each other and to a power source, within a housing shielding the apparatus components from environmental conditions, which is attachable to at least one mounting point adjacent a plurality of discrete surface areas. The apparatus periodically monitors each of the discrete surface areas, detects a respective occupancy state thereof by a respective entity with the or each sensor, determines a start and/or end of occupancy state by each respective entity, and communicates respective occupancy state data to at least one remote data processing terminal with the wireless networking module. The monitoring system comprises at least one apparatus in data communication with the remote data processing terminal.

Recommendation data that matches a preference of a user and includes data on a facility available for the user is generated based on various data. The various data include registration data on the user, hobby data on the user, registration data on the various facilities, and use situation data on the various facilities. The recommendation data is transmitted to the user terminal. After transmission of the recommendation data, it is determined whether the reservation request data has been received from the user terminal or not. The reservation request data includes data on a requested facility wished by the user, and data on an available time slot of the requested facility. When it is determined that the reservation request data has been received, a reservation of the requested facility covering the available time slot is made based on the reservation request data.

A method for performing automatic valet parking, which includes selecting a road scenario applicable to a roadway; notifying a driver to release manual control elements of a motor vehicle and to leave the motor vehicle; checking whether the control elements have been released and the driver has left the motor vehicle and, in this case, entering an EXPLORE mode in which the motor vehicle is slowly driven autonomously and searches for a free car space or a parking space using the vehicle's own environmental sensors, before the motor vehicle is placed in a parking position; and then to change from the EXPLORE mode to a PARKING mode in which the motor vehicle is parked in the car space or in the parking space from the parking position by means of the longitudinal and lateral controllers and using the environmental data previously obtained from the environmental sensors in the EXPLORE mode.

Provided herein are methods and compositions for treating cancer in an individual comprising administering to the individual an effective amount of at least one immune checkpoint inhibitor and a chimeric CD 154 polypeptide. Also provided herein are methods of enhanced immune function.
