REMAINING BATTERY LEVEL DISPLAY METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18323419 titled 'REMAINING BATTERY LEVEL DISPLAY METHOD

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for displaying the remaining battery level of a rental electric vehicle based on an allocated battery capacity. The method involves setting an allocated battery capacity for a user and displaying the remaining level information on the vehicle's display accordingly.

  • Setting an allocated battery capacity for a user of the rental electric vehicle.
  • Displaying remaining battery level information on the vehicle's display based on the allocated battery capacity.
  • Displaying the remaining battery level as 100% at the start of rental.
  • Displaying the remaining battery level as 0% if it is lower than the actual level by the allocated battery capacity.
  • Decreasing the displayed remaining battery level between 100% and 0% as the actual level decreases.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in the rental electric vehicle industry to provide users with accurate information about the remaining battery level of the vehicle.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of users not knowing the exact remaining battery level of a rental electric vehicle, which can help prevent unexpected disruptions during use.

Original Abstract Submitted

A remaining battery level display method is a method of displaying a remaining battery level of a rental electric vehicle, and includes: setting an allocated battery capacity allocated to a user of the rental electric vehicle; and displaying, on a display of the rental electric vehicle, remaining level information based on the allocated battery capacity. The displaying of the remaining level information includes: displaying, as 100%, a remaining battery level at a start of rental to the user, displaying, as 0%, a remaining battery level lower than an actual remaining battery level at the start of the rental by the allocated battery capacity, and displaying the remaining battery level so as to decrease between 100% and 0% in accordance with a decrease in the actual remaining battery level.
