SYSTEM, METHOD, AND COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240106266 titled 'SYSTEM, METHOD, AND COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The system described in the patent application is designed to optimize the selection of vehicles for power transfer from/to a power grid based on driving characteristics and scheduled periods. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • The system includes modules for acquiring driving-scheduled period information, power transfer-scheduled period information, and driver driving characteristics.
  • Based on this information, the system selects a vehicle and specifies the driving characteristic of the driver for a predetermined period before the power transfer-scheduled period.
  • The selected vehicle is used for power transfer between the battery and the power grid.

Original Abstract Submitted

a system includes: a first acquisition module which acquires information indicating a driving-scheduled period of a plurality of vehicles each including a battery and a driving characteristic of a driver who drives each of the plurality of vehicles in the driving-scheduled period; a second acquisition module which acquires information indicating a power transfer-scheduled period during which power transfer is to be performed between the battery included in at least one vehicle of the plurality of vehicles and a power grid; and a selection module which specifies, on the basis of the driving-scheduled period, the driving characteristic, and the power transfer-scheduled period, a driving characteristic of a driver of a vehicle to be driven within a predetermined period from the power transfer-scheduled period, and selects, on the basis of the driving characteristic being specified, a vehicle of which a battery is used for power transfer from/to the power grid.
