DETERMINATION DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18508918 titled 'DETERMINATION DEVICE
The determination device described in the patent application includes a storage unit, a communication unit, and a control unit. The storage unit stores charging result information, including charging place information and charging possibility information. The communication unit interacts with a user terminal and receives requests from the user. The control unit retrieves the charging result information, acquires charging possibility information, and determines the possibility of charging at a specific place based on the acquired information.
- The device stores information about past charging requests and whether the vehicle has been charged at specific places.
- It communicates with a user terminal to receive charging requests.
- It retrieves and analyzes charging result information to determine the possibility of charging at a specific place.
Potential Applications: - Electric vehicle charging management systems - Smart city infrastructure for electric vehicle charging - Fleet management systems for electric vehicles
Problems Solved: - Efficient allocation of charging resources - Improved user experience for electric vehicle owners - Optimized charging station utilization
Benefits: - Increased convenience for electric vehicle owners - Reduced waiting times at charging stations - Enhanced overall efficiency of charging infrastructure
Commercial Applications: Title: Electric Vehicle Charging Management System This technology can be utilized by companies offering electric vehicle charging services to optimize resource allocation and improve user satisfaction. It can also be integrated into smart city initiatives to enhance sustainability and promote electric vehicle adoption.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the device determine the possibility of charging at a specific place? The device retrieves and analyzes past charging information to determine if the vehicle can be charged at a particular location.
2. What are the potential benefits of using this determination device in electric vehicle charging management? The device can improve resource allocation, enhance user experience, and optimize charging station utilization in electric vehicle charging systems.
Original Abstract Submitted
The determination device includes a storage unit, a communication unit, and a control unit. The storage unit can store a plurality of pieces of charging result information including a set of charging place information indicating a charging place included in a request received in the past and charging possibility information indicating whether or not the vehicle has been charged at the charging place. The communication unit can communicate with a user terminal carried by the user, and can receive a request from the user. The control unit retrieves the charging result information based on the charging place information of the vehicle included in the request, acquires the charging possibility information related to the charging place, and determines a possibility of charging at the charging place based on the acquired charging possibility information.
