CHARGING CONTROL DEVICE AND CHARGING CONTROL METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240300358 titled 'CHARGING CONTROL DEVICE AND CHARGING CONTROL METHOD

The abstract of a patent application describes a charging control device for a vehicle that includes a power storage device, a communicator to communicate with a charger, and a controller to control charging by the charger. The controller is designed to transmit information about the voltage at the time of charging to the charger, indicating whether the charging should be performed using a first voltage or a second voltage.

The device includes a power storage device, a communicator, and a controller.
The controller controls charging by transmitting information about the voltage at the time of charging to the charger.
The information indicates whether the charging should be done using a first voltage or a second voltage.

Potential Applications: - Electric vehicles - Hybrid vehicles - Charging stations

Problems Solved: - Efficient charging control - Optimal voltage selection

Benefits: - Improved charging efficiency - Enhanced battery performance - Cost savings on charging

Commercial Applications: Electric vehicle manufacturers can integrate this technology into their vehicles to optimize charging processes and improve overall performance.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the device determine whether to use the first or second voltage for charging? 2. What are the potential implications of using different voltages for charging electric vehicles?

Original Abstract Submitted

a charging control device of a vehicle includes a power storage device, a communicator configured to communicate with a charger, and a controller configured to control charging by the charger. the controller is configured to perform control of transmitting second information as information regarding voltage at a time of charging when performing retransmission of the information regarding the voltage at the time of the charging to the charger through the communicator, after transmitting first information as information regarding voltage at the time of charging to the charger through the communicator. the first information is information indicating that the charging is to be performed using the first voltage. the second information is information indicating that the charging is to be performed using the second voltage.
