APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240157843 titled 'APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING VEHICLE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an apparatus for controlling a vehicle, including a relay, a sensor, and a controller to manage power supply and battery charging based on the state of charge of the battery and the door status of the vehicle.
- The apparatus includes a relay that can open or close to control power supply from a battery to an electric field load.
- A sensor detects the state of charge (soc) value of the battery and the opening and closing of the vehicle door.
- The controller is responsible for closing the relay when the battery's soc value is below a certain threshold and the door is open, charging the battery with power from an external power device.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles, and other battery-powered vehicles to optimize battery charging and power management.
Problems Solved
1. Efficient battery charging and power management in vehicles. 2. Preventing battery drain when the vehicle door is left open.
Benefits
1. Prolonged battery life. 2. Improved energy efficiency. 3. Enhanced vehicle safety.
Potential Commercial Applications
"Smart Battery Management System for Vehicles" - Optimizing battery charging and power usage in electric and hybrid vehicles.
Possible Prior Art
There may be existing patents or technologies related to battery management systems in vehicles, but specific prior art is not provided in the abstract.
Unanswered Questions
How does the sensor detect the state of charge of the battery?
The sensor's mechanism for determining the state of charge of the battery is not detailed in the abstract. Further information on the sensor technology would be beneficial for a complete understanding of the invention.
What is the specific threshold value for the state of charge of the battery that triggers the relay to close?
The abstract mentions a first reference value for the state of charge of the battery, but the exact threshold value is not specified. Knowing this value would provide insight into the operational parameters of the apparatus.
Original Abstract Submitted
an apparatus for controlling a vehicle includes a relay which is controlled to close to supply a power from a battery to an electric field load or is controlled to open to block the power, a sensor that detects a state of charge (soc) value of the battery and opening and closing of a door of the vehicle, and a controller that is configured to control the relay to close based on the power supplied from the battery or a power of an external power device, when the controller concludes that the soc value of the battery is less than a first reference value and that the door is opened, and charges the battery with the power supplied from the external electronic device.
