METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR INFORMING OF POWER OF VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240203177 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR INFORMING OF POWER OF VEHICLE

Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a method where a vehicle power guiding apparatus determines the current state of a vehicle, identifies the electric power currently in use based on this state, and informs the user of this information through a graphical user interface.

  • The method involves determining the current state of the vehicle, such as parked, stopped, or driving.
  • It identifies the electric power being used by the vehicle based on its current state.
  • The identified electric power is displayed to the user on a graphical user interface.

Key Features and Innovation:

  • Real-time monitoring of the vehicle's electric power usage.
  • Informing the user about the electric power being consumed.
  • Displaying this information on a graphical user interface for easy understanding.

Potential Applications: This technology can be applied in electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles, and other vehicles using electric power. It can help users understand and optimize their vehicle's power consumption.

Problems Solved:

  • Lack of visibility into electric power usage in vehicles.
  • Difficulty in monitoring and managing power consumption.
  • Inefficient use of electric power in vehicles.

Benefits:

  • Increased awareness of electric power usage.
  • Potential for optimizing power consumption.
  • Enhanced user control over vehicle power usage.

Commercial Applications: The technology can be utilized by electric vehicle manufacturers, fleet management companies, and individual vehicle owners to improve efficiency and reduce operating costs.

Questions about Vehicle Power Guiding Apparatus: 1. How does the vehicle power guiding apparatus determine the current state of the vehicle? 2. What are the potential implications of optimizing electric power usage in vehicles?


Original Abstract Submitted

in an embodiment a method includes determining, by a vehicle power guiding apparatus, a current state of the vehicle, identifying, by the vehicle power guiding apparatus, electric power of the vehicle currently in use based on the current state of the vehicle and informing, by the vehicle power guiding apparatus, a user of an identified electric power of the vehicle, wherein the current state of the vehicle includes at least one of a parked state, a stopped state, or a driving state, and wherein the identified electric power of the vehicle is displayed on a graphical user interface (gui).
