COMPUTING DEVICE, VEHICLE, MANAGEMENT SERVER, AND COMPUTING METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18324507 titled 'COMPUTING DEVICE, VEHICLE, MANAGEMENT SERVER, AND COMPUTING METHOD

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a computing device designed for a vehicle-mounted battery that stores both renewable energy and non-renewable energy. The computing device includes a memory and a controller that manages the memory. The memory stores accumulated information, including an index value of the electric energy from the renewable power stored in the battery.

  • The computing device updates the accumulated information when the battery is charged by an external power device, based on information related to the renewable power used for charging.
  • The computing device also updates the accumulated information when the battery discharges power to the power device, based on information related to the renewable power used for discharging.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Electric vehicles: The computing device can be used in electric vehicles to monitor and manage the energy stored in the battery, including renewable energy sources.
  • Renewable energy integration: The computing device can help integrate renewable energy sources into the vehicle's power system, optimizing energy usage and storage.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Efficient energy management: The computing device allows for accurate tracking and management of the renewable energy stored in the battery, ensuring optimal utilization and minimizing wastage.
  • Integration of renewable energy: The device enables the seamless integration of renewable energy sources into the vehicle's power system, reducing reliance on non-renewable energy.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhanced sustainability: By efficiently utilizing renewable energy sources, the technology contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting a more sustainable transportation system.
  • Cost savings: The accurate tracking and management of renewable energy help optimize energy usage, leading to potential cost savings in the long run.


Original Abstract Submitted

A computing device for a battery mounted on a vehicle is provided. The battery stores electric power including first power obtained from renewable energy and second power different from the first power. The computing device includes a memory and a controller that controls the memory. The memory stores accumulated information including an index value of electric energy of the first power stored in the battery. When the battery is charged by a power device provided outside the vehicle, the computing device updates the accumulated information based on first information related to the first power used for charging. When the electric power in the battery is discharged to the power device, the computing device updates the accumulated information based on second information related to the first power used for discharging.
