ELECTRIC VEHICLE NETWORK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR THEREFOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18369400 titled 'ELECTRIC VEHICLE NETWORK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR THEREFOR

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an electric vehicle network management system that includes a database storing information about various vehicles, a server for managing updates and downloads of the database, and a vehicle that can download updated information from the server. The system allows for real-time monitoring of changes in the database and transmission of update events to vehicles when changes occur.

  • The system includes a partial network cluster database (PNC DB) for storing information about vehicles.
  • A server manages the update and download of the PNC DB and transmits update events to vehicles when changes occur.
  • Vehicles download the updated PNC DB using over-the-air (OTA) technology.
  • Vehicles have a domain control unit (DCU) for downloading the updated PNC DB and a central communication unit (CCU) for waking up electronic control units (ECUs) based on the changes in the PNC DB.

Potential Applications

The technology can be applied in electric vehicle networks to efficiently manage and update information about vehicles in real-time.

Problems Solved

1. Efficient management of vehicle information in electric vehicle networks. 2. Real-time transmission of update events to vehicles.

Benefits

1. Improved network management efficiency. 2. Real-time updates for vehicles. 3. Enhanced communication between vehicles and the server.

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing electric vehicle network management systems for improved performance and efficiency.

Possible Prior Art

There may be existing systems or methods for managing vehicle information in networks, but the real-time monitoring and transmission of update events to vehicles may be a novel aspect of this technology.

Unanswered Questions

How does the system ensure data security during the transmission of update events to vehicles?

The patent application does not provide details on the security measures implemented to protect the data being transmitted to vehicles.

What is the scalability of the system in managing a large number of vehicles in the network?

The patent application does not address how the system can handle a significant increase in the number of vehicles in the network and the impact on performance and efficiency.


Original Abstract Submitted

An electric vehicle network management system includes a database which stores a partial network cluster database (PNC DB) of various vehicles, a server which manages the update and the download of the PNC DB and checks change information of the PNC DB in real time to transmit an update event through over-the-air (OTA) when the PNC DB is changed, and a vehicle which downloads the changed PNC DB by means of the OTA when the update event is received from the server and the vehicle includes a domain control unit (DCU) which downloads the changed PNC DB and a central communication unit (CCU) which selectively wakes up electronic control units (ECUs) of a network configuring unit which is required to execute a specific function based on the changed PNC DB.
