Battery Exchange Guiding Method and Battery Exchange System - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240181921 titled 'Battery Exchange Guiding Method and Battery Exchange System

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a battery exchange guiding method for electrically powered vehicles, which involves searching for a battery station that the vehicle can reach and then finding a station with a battery containing a larger state of charge (SOC) than a predetermined value. The method includes notifying the user of the vehicle about the battery station information obtained through these searches.

• Battery exchange guiding method for electrically powered vehicles:

   - First searching for a reachable battery station
   - Second searching for a station with a battery containing a larger SOC than a predetermined value
   - Notifying the user of the vehicle about the battery station information

Potential Applications

The technology can be applied in electric vehicle charging infrastructure to guide users to battery stations with optimal charging capabilities.

Problems Solved

1. Range anxiety for electric vehicle users 2. Efficient utilization of battery stations

Benefits

1. Increased convenience for electric vehicle users 2. Optimal utilization of battery stations 3. Improved user experience

Potential Commercial Applications

The abstract does not provide details on the specific criteria or algorithms used to select the ideal battery station for the user.

What type of notification system is used to inform the user about the battery station information?

The abstract does not mention the specific method or technology used to notify the user about the battery station details.

Original Abstract Submitted

a battery exchange guiding method includes: searching for a battery station that an electrically powered vehicle is able to reach (first searching); and searching for the battery station in which a battery with a larger soc than a predetermined value (an soc required to reach a destination from the battery station+a user's desired value in regard to a remaining amount of the soc at a timing of arrival at the destination) is stored (second searching). the guiding method includes notifying the user of the electrically powered vehicle of information on the battery station extracted through the above two searches.
