DETERMINATION DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240199052 titled 'DETERMINATION DEVICE
The determination device described in the abstract includes an acquisition unit and a control unit. The acquisition unit gathers sensor information from a sensor that detects obstacles around a vehicle to be charged. The control unit then analyzes this information to identify obstacles near the vehicle and determine if the vehicle can be charged by a power supply vehicle.
- The acquisition unit acquires sensor information from a sensor detecting obstacles around the vehicle.
- The control unit processes this information to identify obstacles near the vehicle.
- The control unit determines if the vehicle can be charged by a power supply vehicle based on the obstacle information.
Potential Applications: - Autonomous charging systems for electric vehicles. - Automated obstacle detection for charging stations. - Enhanced safety features for charging infrastructure.
Problems Solved: - Efficient and safe charging of electric vehicles. - Minimizing the risk of collisions during the charging process.
