SERVER, RESERVATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, AND MANAGEMENT METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240185141 titled 'SERVER, RESERVATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, AND MANAGEMENT METHOD

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a patent application for a server that manages reservations for charging stations used by electrified vehicles. The server can extend the reservation time period if balancing power control is requested by the vehicle.

  • The server includes a communicator and a processor.
  • The communicator receives reservation requests from electrified vehicles.
  • The reservation request signal includes information about balancing power control.
  • The processor sets a reservation time period based on the request signal.
  • The reservation time period is longer if balancing power control is requested.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in electric vehicle charging infrastructure management systems to optimize the usage of charging stations and ensure efficient power distribution.

Problems Solved

1. Efficient management of charging station reservations. 2. Balancing power control for electrified vehicles.

Benefits

1. Improved utilization of charging stations. 2. Enhanced power distribution efficiency. 3. Better coordination of electrified vehicle charging schedules.

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing electric vehicle charging infrastructure in smart cities.

Possible Prior Art

Similar systems may exist in the field of electric vehicle charging management, but specific prior art is not provided in the abstract.

Unanswered Questions

How does the server prioritize reservation requests during peak usage times?

The abstract does not mention how the server handles multiple reservation requests when there is high demand for charging stations.

What security measures are in place to protect the reservation system from unauthorized access?

The abstract does not address the security protocols implemented to safeguard the reservation system from potential breaches or unauthorized usage.


Original Abstract Submitted

a server includes a communicator and a processor. the communicator is configured to receive a reservation request signal requesting a reservation to use a charging station by an electrified vehicle. the reservation request signal includes information indicating that balancing power control is requested, when the electrified vehicle wants to perform the balancing power control. the processor is configured to set, based on the reservation request signal, a reservation time period during which the electrified vehicle uses the charging station. the processor is configured to set the reservation time period to a longer period when the reservation request signal includes the information indicating that the balancing power control is requested than when the reservation request signal does not include the information indicating that the balancing power control is requested.
