Apparatus for Controlling Vehicle, Method for Controlling Charging of Vehicle, and System for Charging Vehicle - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17835263 titled 'Apparatus for Controlling Vehicle, Method for Controlling Charging of Vehicle, and System for Charging Vehicle
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a vehicle control apparatus that can manage the charging process of electric vehicles. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:
- The vehicle control apparatus includes a memory, a network interface, and a processor.
- When a charging cable is connected to the vehicle, the processor recognizes it.
- The processor receives information about the end time of charging for a preceding vehicle and the waiting time until charging of the current vehicle starts.
- The apparatus waits for the charging process to begin while the charging cable is connected to the vehicle.
- Once the charging end time of the preceding vehicle is reached, the apparatus starts the charging process for the current vehicle.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Electric vehicle charging stations and infrastructure.
- Fleet management systems for electric vehicle fleets.
- Smart grid integration for optimized charging schedules.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Efficient utilization of charging infrastructure by coordinating charging times.
- Avoiding unnecessary waiting times for vehicle owners.
- Optimizing the charging process to minimize energy waste and grid stress.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved convenience for electric vehicle owners by automatically starting the charging process.
- Enhanced efficiency in managing charging infrastructure.
- Reduced energy waste and optimized use of the electric grid.
Original Abstract Submitted
An embodiment vehicle control apparatus includes a memory, a network interface, and a processor, wherein the processor is configured to recognize that a charging cable is connected to a vehicle, receive a charging end time of a preceding vehicle and a waiting time until charging of the vehicle starts, wait for the charging in a state in which the charging cable is connected to the vehicle, and start the charging at the charging end time indicating that the charging of the preceding vehicle is ended in the state in which the charging cable is connected to the vehicle.
