Vehicle and Method for Controlling the Same - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17900496 titled 'Vehicle and Method for Controlling the Same
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an embodiment vehicle that includes a battery, input device, display, and processor. The vehicle is designed to operate in a load power supply mode. When the vehicle receives an instruction to enter this mode, it prompts the user to input destination information through the input device. Based on the current location and destination information, the vehicle calculates the distance to the destination. It then determines the required amount of power needed to drive to the destination. The vehicle also identifies the amount of power currently stored in the battery. Using this information, it calculates the amount of discharge energy that can be supplied to an external device while still having enough power to reach the destination. Finally, the vehicle displays this calculated amount of discharge energy as proposal information on the display.
- The vehicle operates in a load power supply mode.

- It calculates the distance to the destination based on current location and destination information.
- It determines the required amount of power needed to drive to the destination.
- It identifies the amount of power charged in the battery.
- It calculates the amount of discharge energy that can be supplied to an external device.
- It displays the calculated amount of discharge energy as proposal information.
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in various electric vehicles, such as cars, motorcycles, and bicycles, to provide users with information on how much discharge energy can be supplied to external devices while still ensuring enough power to reach their destination. It can also be used in electric delivery vehicles to optimize power usage and plan routes accordingly.
Problems Solved
1. Optimizing power usage: The technology helps users make informed decisions about how much discharge energy can be used for external devices without compromising the vehicle's ability to reach the destination. 2. Route planning: By calculating the required amount of power based on the distance to the destination, the technology assists in planning the most efficient route to conserve power.
Benefits
1. Enhanced user experience: Users can easily input destination information and receive real-time information on how much discharge energy can be used for external devices. 2. Efficient power management: The technology allows for better utilization of the vehicle's battery by optimizing power usage and planning routes accordingly. 3. Increased convenience: Users can charge external devices while on the move, without worrying about running out of power before reaching their destination.
Original Abstract Submitted
An embodiment vehicle includes a battery, an input device, a display, and a processor configured to request input of destination information in response to receipt of an on instruction of a load power supply mode through the input device, obtain distance information from a current location to a destination based on current location information and the destination information in response to receipt of the destination information through the input device, obtain a required amount of power necessary for driving to the destination based on the obtained distance information, identify an amount of power charged in the battery, obtain an amount of discharge energy by supplying power to an external device based on the obtained required amount of power and the amount of power charged in the battery, and control the display to display the obtained amount of discharge energy as proposal information.
