CHARGE AND DISCHARGE STATE DISPLAY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18452904 titled 'CHARGE AND DISCHARGE STATE DISPLAY DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of the patent application describes a system where a mobile terminal displays a first mode display when the battery is charged and discharged based on a demand response (DR) request. The display includes an end button, which, when operated, notifies the server to stop the charging and discharging of the battery. This action allows the server to detect when the user intentionally leaves the DR request.

  • The innovation involves a mobile terminal that can communicate with a server to control the charging and discharging of the battery based on DR requests.
  • The system includes a display unit with an end button that, when activated, sends a signal to the server to stop the DR process.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in smart grid systems, energy management solutions, and IoT devices where efficient battery charging and discharging are essential.

Problems Solved

1. Efficient control of battery charging and discharging based on demand response requests. 2. Detection of user intention to leave a demand response request.

Benefits

1. Improved energy management. 2. Enhanced user control over battery usage. 3. Increased efficiency in responding to demand response requests.

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing energy consumption in smart homes, integrating renewable energy sources into the grid, and enhancing the performance of IoT devices.

Possible Prior Art

There may be prior art related to battery management systems in smart devices or energy management solutions in the context of demand response requests.

Unanswered Questions

How does the system handle multiple DR requests from different sources simultaneously?

The patent abstract does not specify how the system manages multiple DR requests, especially if they conflict or overlap in timing.

What security measures are in place to protect the communication between the mobile terminal and the server?

The abstract does not mention any security protocols or encryption methods used to secure the communication between the mobile terminal and the server.


Original Abstract Submitted

When the battery is charged and discharged based on DR request, the first mode display is displayed on the display unit of the mobile terminal. The first mode display includes an end button, and when the end button is operated, the communication unit notifies the server that charging and discharging of the battery is stopped. When the user operates the end button, the mobile terminal notifies the server, so that the server can detect that the user intentionally leaves DR request.
