VEHICLE AND METHOD OF NOTIFYING CHARGING INFORMATION OF VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240208410 titled 'VEHICLE AND METHOD OF NOTIFYING CHARGING INFORMATION OF VEHICLE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a system where the ECU of a vehicle monitors the charging state when charging is initiated. If the charging power supplied from a multi-outlet charger changes without detection of any abnormalities, the ECU notifies the user through a notification device and a communication terminal about the changed charging power and the charging time based on the new power level.
- The ECU of a vehicle monitors the charging state during charging.
- If the charging power changes without detecting any abnormalities, the ECU notifies the user about the new power level and charging time.
- The notification is sent through a notification device and a communication terminal owned by the user.
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles, and other battery-operated vehicles to ensure efficient and safe charging processes. It can also be used in smart charging systems for homes and public charging stations.
Problems Solved
This technology addresses the issue of unexpected changes in charging power during the charging process, which can affect the overall charging efficiency and potentially cause damage to the vehicle's battery.
Benefits
- Improved monitoring of charging processes - Enhanced safety during charging - Increased efficiency in charging electric vehicles
Commercial Applications
Title: Smart Charging Systems for Electric Vehicles This technology can be commercialized in the automotive industry for electric vehicle charging stations, smart home charging systems, and fleet management solutions. It can also be integrated into existing charging infrastructure to provide real-time notifications to users.
Questions about the Technology
1. How does the ECU detect changes in charging power without abnormalities? 2. What are the potential implications of this technology for the future of electric vehicle charging systems?
Original Abstract Submitted
an ecu of a vehicle monitors a charging state when charging is started. when a charging power supplied from a multi-outlet charger has changed without detecting and receiving an abnormality, the ecu causes a notification device to notify the changed charging power and a charging time based on the changed charging power. the ecu notifies a communication terminal which is owned by a user of the changed charging power and the charging time based on the changed charging power.
