SERVER AND VEHICLE MANAGEMENT METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18332297 titled 'SERVER AND VEHICLE MANAGEMENT METHOD
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an operation management server that manages a vehicle with a battery capable of storing regenerated electric power. The server includes a processor that generates messages for the vehicle and a storage for storing traveling histories of multiple vehicles. The processor predicts changes in the battery's power storage based on the vehicle's travel plan and the travel histories of other vehicles. It sends a message proposing external power supply from the battery to an outside source before the power storage reaches a certain level on the planned route.
- The operation management server manages a vehicle with a battery storing regenerated electric power.

- Benefits
- Optimized use of regenerated electric power - Increased efficiency in vehicle power management
Original Abstract Submitted
An operation management server manages a vehicle equipped with a battery able to store regenerated electric power. The operation management server includes: a processor that generates a message to be transmitted to the vehicle; and a storage that stores traveling histories of a plurality of vehicles. The processor estimates a transition in a power storage amount of the battery on a planned travel route of the vehicle based on a travel plan of the vehicle and the travel histories of the vehicles. The processor generates the message for proposing execution of external power supply from the battery to an outside of the vehicle before the power storage amount reaches a predetermined amount, when an estimation is made that the power storage amount will exceed the predetermined amount on the planned travel route.
