INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18458417 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes an information processing apparatus that can estimate the remaining charge amount of a storage battery in a mobile object based on the time it is connected to a charge connector.
- Acquires information on the first connection time period and the remaining charge amount of the storage battery during that time.
- Estimates the second connection time period and the remaining charge amount of the storage battery during that time based on the acquired information.
- The charge connector can control charge and discharge and measure the remaining charge amount of the storage battery.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Estimation of remaining charge amount based on connection time period.
- Ability to control charge and discharge of the storage battery.
- Measurement of remaining charge amount during connection time.
