SCHEDULING DELIVERY OF CHARGE TO ELECTRIC VEHICLES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17945510 titled 'SCHEDULING DELIVERY OF CHARGE TO ELECTRIC VEHICLES
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a patent application related to a charging facility for electric vehicles. The operation involves determining the current charge, requested charge, and time to charge a vehicle, charging the vehicle accordingly, and adjusting the charging based on the needs of other vehicles.
- The charging facility determines the current charge, requested charge, and time needed to charge a vehicle.
- The facility charges the vehicle based on the determined parameters.
- If another vehicle requires less charge and time to charge, the facility stops charging the current vehicle and switches to the other vehicle.
- Once the other vehicle is charged, the facility resumes charging the initial vehicle.
Potential Applications
The technology can be applied in electric vehicle charging stations, parking lots, and public charging facilities.
Problems Solved
1. Efficient use of charging resources. 2. Optimizing charging times for multiple vehicles.
Benefits
1. Reduced waiting times for charging. 2. Improved charging station efficiency. 3. Enhanced user experience for electric vehicle owners.
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimizing electric vehicle charging stations for public use.
Possible Prior Art
Similar technologies exist in the field of smart charging systems for electric vehicles, where charging priorities are managed based on various factors such as battery levels and charging times.
Unanswered Questions
How does the system prioritize charging between multiple vehicles?
The system likely uses a combination of factors such as requested charge, time to charge, and current charge levels to determine the priority for charging.
What happens if there are more vehicles than charging stations available?
In such a scenario, the system may need to implement a queuing system or prioritize based on urgency of charge needed.
Original Abstract Submitted
An example operation includes one or more of determining, by a charging facility, an amount of current charge in a vehicle, an amount of requested charge for the vehicle, and an amount of time to charge the vehicle; charging, by the charging facility, the vehicle based on the determining; ceasing, by the charging facility, the charging of the vehicle, when another vehicle with an amount of requested charge is lower than the amount of requested charge of the vehicle and an amount of time to charge the another vehicle is less than the amount of time to charge the vehicle, and responsive to the another vehicle receiving the amount of requested charge, continuing to charge, by the charging facility, the vehicle.
