Method for Controlling an Electric Bicycle, and Electric Bicycle - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18552506 titled 'Method for Controlling an Electric Bicycle, and Electric Bicycle

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for controlling an electric bicycle that can be operated with motor force and/or pedal force. The method involves providing a trigger signal for activating a walk mode, measuring signals from sensor devices, detecting the plausibility of the trigger signal based on the measurement signal, and controlling the electric bicycle accordingly.

  • The method involves enabling a walk mode in an electric bicycle based on the plausibility of a trigger signal.
  • The control unit of the electric bicycle receives measurement signals from sensor devices to determine the plausibility of the trigger signal.
  • The electric bicycle can be operated with motor force and/or pedal force.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in electric bicycles to provide a more efficient and user-friendly control system.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of effectively controlling an electric bicycle that can be operated with both motor force and pedal force.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include improved control and functionality of electric bicycles, making them more versatile and user-friendly.

Potential Commercial Applications

  • "Electric Bicycle Control Method" - Enhancing the control system of electric bicycles for improved performance and user experience.

Possible Prior Art

Original Abstract Submitted

A method for controlling an electric bicycle that can be operated with motor force and/or with pedal force is disclosed. The method includes (i) providing a trigger signal for enabling the activation of a walk mode to a control unit of the electric bicycle, (ii) providing a measurement signal of a sensor device regarding a property of the electric bicycle and/or regarding a component comprised by the electric bicycle to the control unit, (iii) detecting plausibility of the trigger signal on the basis of the provided measurement signal, and (iv) controlling the electric bicycle by enabling the activation of the walk mode in accordance with the detection of the plausibility of the trigger signal. Also disclosed is an electric bicycle that can be operated with motor force and/or with pedal force.
