ELECTRIC VEHICLE NETWORK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR THEREFOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240096140 titled 'ELECTRIC VEHICLE NETWORK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR THEREFOR

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an electric vehicle network management system that includes a database storing information about various vehicles, a server managing the update and download of this database, and vehicles that download updated information when changes occur.

  • The system includes a partial network cluster database (pnc db) of vehicles.
  • The server checks for changes in the pnc db in real-time and transmits update events over-the-air (ota) to vehicles.
  • Vehicles download the updated pnc db using ota when an update event is received.
  • Vehicles have a domain control unit (dcu) for downloading the updated pnc db and a central communication unit (ccu) that wakes up electronic control units (ecus) of a network configuring unit based on the changes in the pnc db.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in electric vehicle fleets, transportation management systems, and smart city infrastructure.

Problems Solved

1. Efficient management of electric vehicle networks. 2. Real-time updates and communication between vehicles and a central server.

Benefits

1. Improved network efficiency and performance. 2. Enhanced communication and coordination among vehicles. 3. Reduced downtime and maintenance costs.

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing electric vehicle fleets, enhancing transportation logistics, and improving overall network connectivity.

Possible Prior Art

Similar systems may exist in the automotive industry for managing vehicle networks and communication systems.

Unanswered Questions

How does the system handle security and data privacy concerns?

The patent application does not provide details on the security measures implemented to protect the data stored in the database and transmitted between the server and vehicles.

What is the scalability of this system for large-scale electric vehicle networks?

The scalability of the system for managing a large number of vehicles and ensuring efficient communication and updates is not discussed in the patent application.


Original Abstract Submitted

an electric vehicle network management system includes a database which stores a partial network cluster database (pnc db) of various vehicles, a server which manages the update and the download of the pnc db and checks change information of the pnc db in real time to transmit an update event through over-the-air (ota) when the pnc db is changed, and a vehicle which downloads the changed pnc db by means of the ota when the update event is received from the server and the vehicle includes a domain control unit (dcu) which downloads the changed pnc db and a central communication unit (ccu) which selectively wakes up electronic control units (ecus) of a network configuring unit which is required to execute a specific function based on the changed pnc db.
