REAL-TIME CHARGING POINT AVAILIBILTY AND PLANNING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18150500 titled 'REAL-TIME CHARGING POINT AVAILIBILTY AND PLANNING
Simplified Explanation
A system analyzes images of charging locations to determine if they are in use based on the presence of a vehicle. It then predicts the usage time of the charging point and updates real-time usage data.
- The system analyzes images to determine if a charging point is currently in use.
- It predicts the usage time of the charging point based on vehicle characteristics.
- Real-time usage data is updated based on the projected usage time.
Potential Applications

Questions about the Technology
How does the system analyze images to determine if a charging point is in use?
The system uses image processing algorithms to detect the presence of a vehicle at the charging point.
What are the key factors considered in predicting the usage time of a charging point?
The system considers characteristics of the vehicle, such as battery level and charging speed, to predict the usage time accurately.
Original Abstract Submitted
A system receives an image identified as related to a charging location and including at least one viewpoint of the charging point and analyzes the image to determine if the charging point is currently in use based at least in part on the presence of a vehicle at the charging point in the image. The system determines projected usage time of a charging point determined to be in use, based on at least one characteristic of the vehicle and updates a usage set indicating real-time usage of the charging point based on the projected usage time.
