VEHICLE MONITORING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240118343 titled 'VEHICLE MONITORING APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a vehicle monitoring apparatus in an electric vehicle equipped with a battery that monitors the state of the battery while the vehicle is stopped and transmits information if the battery is in an abnormal state.
- Monitoring unit tracks battery state while vehicle is stationary
- Transmission unit sends alert if abnormal battery state is detected
Potential Applications
The technology could be applied in electric vehicles to ensure the safety and efficiency of the battery system.
Problems Solved
This technology helps in early detection of battery issues, preventing potential safety hazards and ensuring optimal performance of the electric vehicle.
Benefits
- Enhanced safety by detecting battery abnormalities - Improved battery performance and longevity - Prevents potential breakdowns or accidents due to battery issues
Potential Commercial Applications
"Enhanced Battery Monitoring System for Electric Vehicles" could be used in electric vehicle manufacturing companies to improve the safety and reliability of their vehicles.
Possible Prior Art
There are existing battery monitoring systems in electric vehicles, but the specific combination of monitoring the battery while the vehicle is stopped and transmitting alerts for abnormal states may be a unique innovation.
Unanswered Questions
How does the monitoring unit determine an abnormal state of the battery?
The abstract does not provide details on the specific criteria or parameters used by the monitoring unit to identify an abnormal state of the battery.
What kind of information is transmitted to indicate an abnormal state of the battery?
