SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR UPDATING ELECTRIC CHARGER LOCATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18527722 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR UPDATING ELECTRIC CHARGER LOCATIONS
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a system and method for updating the location of an electric charger stored at a server based on the location of an electric vehicle being charged.
- The system determines when an electric vehicle is being charged at an electric charger.
- The location of the electric charger is retrieved from a server storing multiple locations of electric chargers.
- The system determines the location of the electric charger based on the positioning system of the electric vehicle.
- The retrieved location of the electric charger is compared to the location determined by the positioning system of the electric vehicle.
- The location stored at the server for the electric charger is updated based on the comparison.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in electric vehicle charging networks to ensure accurate and up-to-date location information for electric chargers.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of outdated or inaccurate location information for electric chargers, which can lead to inefficiencies and inconvenience for electric vehicle users.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved user experience for electric vehicle owners, increased efficiency in locating electric chargers, and better utilization of electric vehicle charging infrastructure.
Potential Commercial Applications
One potential commercial application of this technology is in electric vehicle charging network providers who can use this system to maintain accurate location information for their chargers, improving customer satisfaction and operational efficiency.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art for this technology could be systems that update the location of shared resources based on user interactions or usage data, such as shared bike or scooter networks that track the location of their vehicles in real-time.
Unanswered Questions
How does the system handle cases where the positioning system of the electric vehicle fails to accurately determine the location of the charger?
The system may have a fallback mechanism to use other location data sources or prompt the user to manually input the charger's location in such cases.
What measures are in place to ensure the security and privacy of the location data stored and updated by the system?
The system may employ encryption techniques, access controls, and data anonymization methods to protect the location data from unauthorized access or misuse.
Original Abstract Submitted
Systems and methods are provided to update a location stored at a server for an electric charger. A determination is made that an electric vehicle is being charged at an electric charger, and a location of the electric charger may be retrieved from a server storing a plurality of locations of electric chargers. A determination of a location of the electric charger may be made based on a positioning system of the electric vehicle. The location of the electric charger retrieved from the server may be compared to the location of the electric charger determined based on the positioning system of the electric vehicle. Based on the comparison, the location stored at the server for the electric charger, the location stored at a server for an electric charger may be updated.
