ELECTRIC VEHICLE AND CHARGING STATION COMMUNICATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18059055 titled 'ELECTRIC VEHICLE AND CHARGING STATION COMMUNICATIONS
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a vehicle charging station that can exchange information with a vehicle, verify the response from the vehicle, and store the information in a database without interfering with the charging process.
- Connector connects vehicle to charging station
- Exchange information related to identification and charging requirements
- Send challenge to vehicle, receive response, verify response
- Store response and vehicle identification information in a database
- Information exchange within allowed duty cycle and voltage intervals
- No interference with vehicle charging process
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in electric vehicle charging stations, smart grid systems, and automated vehicle management systems.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of efficiently exchanging information between a vehicle and a charging station without disrupting the charging process.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved efficiency in managing vehicle charging, enhanced security through verification processes, and better data storage and management capabilities.
Potential Commercial Applications
The potential commercial applications of this technology include electric vehicle charging networks, smart city infrastructure, and fleet management systems.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art for this technology could be the use of RFID technology in vehicle charging systems to exchange information between the vehicle and the charging station.
Unanswered Questions
1. How does the system ensure the security of the exchanged information between the vehicle and the charging station? 2. What are the specific voltage intervals and duty cycles that are allowed for the information exchange process?
Original Abstract Submitted
A vehicle charging station includes a connector adapted to connect a vehicle to the charging station, the charging station adapted to exchange information related to identification and charging requirements and capabilities, send a challenge to the vehicle, receive a response to the challenge from the vehicle, verify the response from the vehicle and store the response and the vehicle identification information within a database, wherein, the exchange of information between the vehicle and the charging station is performed within allowed duty cycle and voltage intervals such that the exchange of information between the vehicle and the charging station do not interfere with charging of the vehicle.
