VEHICLE AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18138164 titled 'VEHICLE AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a vehicle with a system that allows users to cut off power supplied from the battery to specific loads in the vehicle based on user input.

  • The vehicle includes at least one battery and an input device for user input.
  • It has at least one first load that receives a higher power from the battery and at least one second load that receives a lower power.
  • A controller is present to cut off power to the first load or the second load based on user input received through the input device.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles, and other battery-powered vehicles to allow users to selectively cut off power to specific components, improving safety and efficiency.

Problems Solved

1. Enhanced safety by allowing users to cut off power to specific loads in the vehicle. 2. Improved efficiency by managing power distribution based on user preferences.

Benefits

1. Customizable power management for different components in the vehicle. 2. Increased user control over power distribution. 3. Potential energy savings by cutting off power to unnecessary loads.

Potential Commercial Applications

"Selective Power Cut-off System for Vehicles" - Optimizing power distribution in electric and hybrid vehicles for improved safety and efficiency.

Possible Prior Art

There are existing systems in vehicles that allow users to control power distribution, but the specific implementation described in this patent application may offer unique features or improvements.

Original Abstract Submitted

A vehicle may include at least one battery and an input device configured to receive a user input for cutting off power supplied from the at least one battery. The vehicle may also include at least one first load configured to receive a first power from the at least one battery and at least one second load configured to receive a second power smaller than the first power from the at least one battery. The vehicle may further include a controller configured to cut off power supplied to the at least one first load or the at least one second load based on the user input received through the input device.
