METHOD OF COLLECTING CHARGER INFORMATION AND METHOD OF UTILIZING COLLECTED CHARGER INFORMATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18242716 titled 'METHOD OF COLLECTING CHARGER INFORMATION AND METHOD OF UTILIZING COLLECTED CHARGER INFORMATION
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for collecting charger information from chargers around the world and storing it in a database. The method involves a charging control unit in a vehicle collecting charger identification information and determining if the charger is new. If it is a new charger, the unit collects charger output information and transmits both sets of information to a management server.
- Charging control unit in a vehicle collects charger identification information from a connected charger.
- Determines if the charger is new based on the collected information.
- If the charger is new, the unit collects charger output information.
- Transmits both charger identification and output information to a management server.
Potential Applications
This technology could be used in electric vehicle charging networks to gather data on chargers worldwide, helping to improve infrastructure planning and management.
Problems Solved
1. Lack of comprehensive data on chargers globally. 2. Inefficient management of charging infrastructure.
Benefits

The abstract does not address how the method can handle a large volume of charger data or if it is compatible with various charger models and standards.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method of collecting charger information which is capable of obtaining information of chargers around the world and making the obtained information into a database, includes collecting, by a charging control unit in a vehicle, charger identification information from a charger connected to the vehicle for charging, determining whether the charger is a new charger from the collected charger identification information, and when a result of the determining indicates that the charger is the new charger, collecting, by the charging control unit, charger output information and transmitting the charger identification information and the charger output information to a management server.
