IDENTIFYING VEHICLE FILLING STATIONS AND GENERATING RELATED VISUAL INDICATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17852030 titled 'IDENTIFYING VEHICLE FILLING STATIONS AND GENERATING RELATED VISUAL INDICATIONS

Simplified Explanation

Methods and systems for identifying vehicle filling stations and generating related visual indications are described in this patent application. The technology involves receiving vehicle data that includes information about the location and fuel/charge level changes of multiple vehicles. From this data, a subset is extracted that specifically relates to the location and fuel/charge level changes when they increase. Based on this information, the technology identifies the locations of vehicles that are filling up their fuel or charge. It then generates visual indications corresponding to these identified locations.

  • Vehicle data is received, including location and fuel/charge level changes.
  • A subset of data is extracted, focusing on location and fuel/charge level increases.
  • Locations of vehicles filling up are identified based on the extracted data.
  • Visual indications are generated to represent these identified locations.

Potential Applications

  • Navigation systems can use this technology to provide real-time information about nearby filling stations to drivers.
  • Electric vehicle charging networks can utilize this technology to identify charging stations that are currently in use and provide availability information to users.
  • Fleet management systems can benefit from this technology by monitoring the fueling activities of their vehicles and optimizing routes accordingly.

Problems Solved

  • This technology solves the problem of identifying vehicle filling stations in real-time, providing convenience to drivers and improving their overall experience.
  • It addresses the challenge of efficiently managing electric vehicle charging stations by identifying their usage and availability.
  • Fleet management systems can effectively monitor fueling activities and optimize operations based on this information.

Benefits

  • Drivers can easily locate nearby filling stations, saving time and reducing the risk of running out of fuel or charge.
  • Electric vehicle owners can quickly find available charging stations, ensuring they can charge their vehicles when needed.
  • Fleet managers can optimize routes and fueling activities, leading to cost savings and improved efficiency.


Original Abstract Submitted

Methods and systems for identifying vehicle filling stations and generating related visual indications are provided. In some examples, vehicle data is received that corresponds to a plurality of vehicles. From the vehicle data, a first subset of data is extracted that corresponds to location data and one of a fuel or charge level state change of each of the plurality of vehicles. One or more locations of one or more of the plurality of vehicles are identified, based on the location data, when the fuel or charge level state change corresponds to an increase in a fuel or charge level of the one or more of the plurality of vehicles. One or more visual indications are generated that correspond to the identified one or more locations.
