ELECTRIFIED VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240294127 titled 'ELECTRIFIED VEHICLE

The abstract describes an electrified vehicle with a power storage device, a charger, a charging inlet, a charging lid, a lock mechanism, and a control device that can rewrite a program wirelessly.

  • The vehicle has a power storage device and a charger that charges it from an external power source.
  • A charging inlet connects to the charger via a power line and is covered by an openable and closable charging lid.
  • A lock mechanism secures the charging lid in a closed state.
  • The control device manages charging and the lock mechanism, with the ability to rewrite programs wirelessly.
  • While rewriting the program, the control device locks the charging lid in the closed state.

Potential Applications: - Electric vehicles - Energy storage systems - Wireless communication technology

Problems Solved: - Secure charging process - Efficient power management - Remote program updates

Benefits: - Enhanced safety during charging - Improved control over power storage - Convenient wireless updates

Commercial Applications: Title: "Innovative Electric Vehicle Charging System for Enhanced Safety and Efficiency" This technology can be used in electric vehicle manufacturing, energy storage solutions, and smart grid systems, offering a competitive edge in the market.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the wireless program rewriting feature benefit the overall functionality of the electrified vehicle? - The wireless program rewriting feature allows for convenient updates and improvements to the vehicle's charging and locking systems without physical intervention. 2. What are the potential security implications of the lock mechanism in the charging system? - The lock mechanism ensures that the charging lid remains closed during the charging process, preventing unauthorized access and enhancing safety.


Original Abstract Submitted

an electrified vehicle includes a power storage device, a charger that charges the power storage device using power from an external power source, and a charging inlet that is connectable to a charging connector of the external power source and connected to the charger via a power line, an openable and closable charging lid that covers the charging inlet from the outside, a lock mechanism that locks the charging lid in a closed state, and a control device that controls charging of the power storage device by the charger and the lock mechanism and that is able to rewrite a program via wireless communication. the control device locks the charging lid in the closed state by the lock mechanism while rewriting of the program is being executed.
