METHOD FOR PROVIDING INFORMATION RELATED TO CHARGING OF VEHICLE BATTERY AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE SUPPORTING SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18077548 titled 'METHOD FOR PROVIDING INFORMATION RELATED TO CHARGING OF VEHICLE BATTERY AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE SUPPORTING SAME

Simplified Explanation

An electronic device is described in this patent application that can monitor the battery level of a vehicle, gather information about external electronic devices powered by the vehicle's battery, determine the power needed for the vehicle to reach its destination, and obtain information about charging the battery based on the remaining battery level and power requirements.

  • The electronic device includes a memory and at least one processor.
  • The processor is configured to acquire the current battery level of the vehicle.
  • It also collects information about external electronic devices powered by the vehicle's battery.
  • The processor determines the power needed for the vehicle to travel to its destination.
  • This determination is based on the information about the external electronic devices, the current location of the vehicle, and the destination location.
  • The processor then acquires information related to charging the battery based on the current battery level and the determined power requirements.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be applied to electric vehicles or hybrid vehicles to optimize power usage and battery charging.
  • It can be used in navigation systems to provide accurate power consumption estimations and charging recommendations.
  • The electronic device can be integrated into vehicle management systems to monitor and control power usage.

Problems Solved

  • The technology solves the problem of inefficient power usage in vehicles by determining the exact power requirements for a trip.
  • It addresses the issue of limited battery capacity by providing information on charging options based on the remaining battery level and power needs.

Benefits

  • The electronic device helps optimize power usage, leading to increased efficiency and longer battery life.
  • It provides accurate estimations of power requirements, allowing for better planning and management of trips.
  • The technology offers charging recommendations based on the current battery level and power needs, ensuring the vehicle is charged appropriately for the journey.


Original Abstract Submitted

An electronic device may include a memory and at least one processor, wherein the at least one processor may be configured to acquire a current remaining battery level of a battery of a vehicle, information on at least one external electronic device operated by power provided from the battery, a current location of the vehicle, and a location of a destination to which the vehicle is to travel, determine the amount of power to be used while the vehicle travels to the destination, based on the information on the at least one external electronic device, the current location of the vehicle, and the location of the destination, and acquire information related to charging of the battery, based on the current remaining battery level and the determined amount of power.
