POWER RECEIVING APPARATUS, POWER TRANSMISSION APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240188154 titled 'POWER RECEIVING APPARATUS, POWER TRANSMISSION APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation: The power receiving apparatus described in the patent application can determine the method of communication to use with a power transmission apparatus based on the capabilities of the latter.

  • The power receiving apparatus has two communication functions: a first and a second.
  • It receives a signal from the power transmission apparatus indicating its ability to use a specific communication method.
  • If the power transmission apparatus can use the specified method, the power receiving apparatus requests identification information using the first communication function.
  • The power receiving apparatus then decides which communication function to use for further communication based on the received identification information.

Key Features and Innovation:

  • Dual communication functions for interacting with power transmission apparatus.
  • Ability to dynamically select communication method based on power transmission apparatus capabilities.
  • Requesting identification information for secure communication.

Potential Applications: The technology can be applied in smart grid systems, industrial automation, and IoT devices where efficient and secure power transmission is crucial.

Problems Solved:

  • Ensures compatibility between power receiving and transmission apparatus.
  • Enhances security by verifying the identity of the power transmission apparatus.

Benefits:

  • Improved efficiency in power transmission communication.
  • Enhanced security measures for data exchange.
  • Flexibility in adapting to different communication methods.

Commercial Applications: Potential commercial applications include smart home energy management systems, industrial power distribution networks, and electric vehicle charging stations.

Prior Art: Research on power transmission communication protocols and secure data exchange methods may be relevant to this technology.

Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in power grid communication protocols, IoT security measures, and industrial automation technologies.

Questions about Power Receiving Apparatus: Question 1: How does the power receiving apparatus determine which communication method to use? The power receiving apparatus determines the communication method based on the information received from the power transmission apparatus regarding its capabilities.

Question 2: What are the potential risks associated with using the wrong communication method? Using the wrong communication method can lead to data loss, security breaches, and inefficiencies in power transmission processes.


Original Abstract Submitted

a power receiving apparatus, which has a first communication function and a second communication function, controls the first communication function to receive a first signal including information representing whether a power transmission apparatus can execute control communication using a second method, controls, based on the information representing that the power transmission apparatus can execute the control communication using the second method, the first communication function to transmit, to the power transmission apparatus, a second signal to request identification information of the power transmission apparatus for the communication of the second method and receive the identification information from the power transmission apparatus, and determines which one of the first communication function and a second communication function should be used for the control communication, based on the first signal and whether the identification information is received.
