INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18489859 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an information processing apparatus that manages parking reservations for vehicles, specifically focusing on vehicles that require charging. The system confirms the availability of a parking spot with a charging station for the first vehicle, reserves it if available, and reallocates the spot to a second vehicle if no opening is present.
- Input interface accepts parking reservation for a vehicle
- Controller confirms availability of parking spot with charging station for first vehicle
- Completes reservation for first vehicle if spot is available
- Reallocates spot to second vehicle based on predetermined condition if no opening is available
Potential Applications
The technology can be applied in parking management systems for electric vehicles, ensuring that charging spots are efficiently utilized and reserved for vehicles that require charging.
Problems Solved
1. Efficient allocation of parking spots with charging stations for electric vehicles 2. Optimizing parking reservations for vehicles with specific needs, such as charging
Benefits
1. Improved convenience for electric vehicle owners needing to charge their vehicles 2. Enhanced utilization of parking spots with charging stations 3. Streamlined parking reservation process for vehicles with specific requirements
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimizing parking management systems for electric vehicles with charging needs
Possible Prior Art
Prior art may include parking reservation systems for vehicles, but the specific focus on allocating spots with charging stations based on vehicle requirements may be a unique aspect of this technology.
Unanswered Questions
How does the system prioritize which second vehicle receives the reallocated parking spot?
The patent application does not specify the exact criteria or algorithm used to select the second vehicle for the reallocated parking spot.
What happens if the second vehicle does not meet the predetermined condition for reallocation?
It is unclear from the abstract how the system handles situations where the selected second vehicle does not meet the predetermined condition for reallocation.
Original Abstract Submitted
An information processing apparatus includes an input interface that accepts a parking reservation for a vehicle for which parking is desired, and a controller that confirms, when the vehicle for which parking is desired is a first vehicle whose purpose for parking includes charging, whether there is an opening for reservation of a first parking lot having a charging station, completes acceptance of reservation of the first parking lot for the first vehicle when there is an opening, changes a reservation of the first parking lot for at least one second vehicle, selected based on a predetermined condition from among one or more reservation holding vehicles for which acceptance of reservation of the first parking lot is completed, to a reservation of a second parking lot based on the predetermined condition when there is no opening, and completes acceptance of reservation of the first parking lot for the first vehicle.
