VEHICLE CHARGING CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHOD THEREFOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18110200 titled 'VEHICLE CHARGING CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHOD THEREFOR
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a vehicle charging control system that allows a vehicle to determine changes in its distance to empty (DTE) based on charging at a first charging station and transmit this information to a server through a communication module. The server then notifies the vehicle of the availability of the first charging station based on the received state information.
- The system includes a vehicle that monitors changes in DTE based on charging at a first charging station.
- The vehicle transmits state information of the first charging station to a server through a communication module.
- The server receives the state information and notifies the vehicle of the availability of the first charging station.
Potential Applications
- Electric vehicle charging management systems - Fleet management systems for electric vehicles
Problems Solved
- Efficient utilization of charging stations - Real-time availability information for charging stations
Benefits
- Improved convenience for electric vehicle owners - Optimal charging station selection based on availability - Enhanced efficiency in charging operations
Original Abstract Submitted
A vehicle charging control system and a method therefor are provided. The vehicle charging control system includes a vehicle that identifies whether a distance to empty (DTE) is changed based on charging at a location of a first charging station among at least one charging station. The vehicle transmits state information of the first charging station, which is obtained based on whether the DTE is changed, through a communication module. The system also includes a server that receives the state information of the first charging station from the vehicle and notifies the vehicle of whether the first charging station is available based on the state information of the first charging station.
