CUSTOMER-CENTRIC DYNAMIC CHARGING POINTS ASSESSMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240294088 titled 'CUSTOMER-CENTRIC DYNAMIC CHARGING POINTS ASSESSMENT
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a system for assessing customer-centric dynamic charging stations. When a vehicle sends a charger request, the system identifies nearby charging stations and computes a user-specific charger score for each station based on user weights. A charger recommendation is then sent to the vehicle, including the location of each charging station and the corresponding user-specific charger score.
Key Features and Innovation:
- System for assessing customer-centric dynamic charging stations
- Identification of nearby charging stations based on vehicle location
- Computation of user-specific charger scores for each station
- Charger recommendation sent to the vehicle based on user weights
Potential Applications: This technology could be used in electric vehicle charging networks to optimize charger recommendations based on user preferences and station availability.
Problems Solved:
- Efficient matching of vehicles with charging stations
- Personalized charger recommendations for users
- Enhanced user experience in electric vehicle charging
Benefits:
- Improved user satisfaction
- Optimal utilization of charging stations
- Reduction of wait times for charging
Commercial Applications: Electric vehicle charging networks, smart city infrastructure, transportation management systems
Prior Art: Prior art related to this technology may include existing systems for matching vehicles with charging stations based on location and availability.
Frequently Updated Research: Research on user preferences in electric vehicle charging, advancements in smart charging technologies
Questions about Customer-Centric Dynamic Charging Station Assessment: 1. How does the system compute user-specific charger scores? 2. What are the potential implications of this technology on electric vehicle adoption rates?
2. Another relevant generic question, with a detailed answer.
Original Abstract Submitted
customer-centric dynamic charging station assessment is provided. a charger request is received from a vehicle, the charger request including an identifier of a sender of the charger request and a location of the vehicle. one or more charging stations in proximity to the location of the vehicle are identified. for each identified charging station, a user-specific charger score is computed using a plurality of charging station scores for the charging station weighted according to user weights corresponding to the identifier. a charger recommendation is sent to the vehicle responsive to the charger request, the charger recommendation including, for each of the one or more charging stations, a location of the charging station and the user-specific charger score corresponding to the charging station.
