DETERMINATION SYSTEM, VEHICLE, AND DETERMINATION METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18494457 titled 'DETERMINATION SYSTEM, VEHICLE, AND DETERMINATION METHOD

Simplified Explanation

A battery ECU is a system that determines whether a battery assembly on a vehicle is genuine by comparing its temperature change characteristic with a stored genuine product characteristic.

  • The system includes a processor, memory storing a genuine product characteristic, and a sensor acquiring a determination target characteristic.
  • The genuine product characteristic is a temperature change characteristic of the battery assembly, while the determination target characteristic is the temperature change characteristic of the index of the battery assembly after replacement.
  • The processor compares these characteristics to determine the authenticity of the battery assembly.

Key Features and Innovation

  • System for verifying the authenticity of a battery assembly based on temperature change characteristics.
  • Utilizes a processor, memory, and sensor to make the determination.
  • Enhances security and reliability of battery replacements in vehicles.

Potential Applications

  • Automotive industry for ensuring genuine battery replacements.
  • Electronics industry for verifying authenticity of battery products.

Problems Solved

  • Prevents counterfeit battery assemblies from being used in vehicles.
  • Ensures safety and performance of the vehicle by using genuine batteries.

Benefits

  • Increased security and reliability in battery replacements.
  • Prevents potential damage or malfunction caused by counterfeit batteries.

Commercial Applications

Battery manufacturers, automotive companies, and electronics retailers can use this technology to guarantee the authenticity of their products, enhancing consumer trust and safety.

Questions about Battery ECU

How does the system determine the authenticity of the battery assembly?

The system compares the temperature change characteristic of the replacement battery with the genuine product characteristic stored in memory to make the determination.

What are the potential implications of using counterfeit batteries in vehicles?

Using counterfeit batteries can lead to safety hazards, reduced performance, and potential damage to the vehicle's electrical system.


Original Abstract Submitted

A battery ECU is a system that determines a battery assembly that stores power used for running a vehicle and that is mounted on the vehicle in a replaceable state, the system comprising: a processor; a memory that stores a genuine product characteristic that is a temperature change characteristic of a genuine product, the temperature change characteristic being a characteristic of an index which changes with temperature of the battery assembly and when not being charged or discharged; and a sensor that acquires a determination target characteristic that is a temperature change characteristic of the index of the battery assembly after replacement mounted on the vehicle when not being charged or discharged. The processor compares the determination target characteristic acquired by the sensor with the genuine product characteristic stored in the memory, and determines whether the battery assembly mounted on the vehicle is the genuine product from a comparison result.
