VEHICLE INCLUDING DC-DC CONVERTER AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING FOR THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18117697 titled 'VEHICLE INCLUDING DC-DC CONVERTER AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING FOR THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for controlling a vehicle by determining the number of driving legs based on the output current target value of a DC-DC converter, selecting legs to be switched from a plurality of legs in the converter based on accumulated operation time, and controlling the output current value to follow the target value by switching the selected legs.

Original Abstract Submitted
A method for controlling a vehicle includes determining the number of driving legs according to an output current target value of a DC-DC converter; selecting one or more legs to be switched as many as the number of the driving legs from among a plurality of legs included in the DC-DC converter based on accumulated operation time for each of the plurality of legs; and controlling an output current value of the DC-DC converter to follow the output current target value by switching the selected one or more legs.
