DETERMINATION DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240239228 titled 'DETERMINATION DEVICE

The determination device described in the abstract includes a storage unit, a communication unit, and a control unit. The storage unit stores charging result information, including charging place information and charging possibility information. The communication unit interacts with a user terminal and receives requests from the user. The control unit retrieves charging result information, acquires charging possibility information, and determines the possibility of charging at a specific place based on the acquired information.

• The device stores charging result information, including charging place and charging possibility details.
• It communicates with a user terminal to receive requests.
• The control unit retrieves and analyzes the stored information to determine the possibility of charging at a specific place.
• The device helps users identify suitable charging locations for their vehicles.
• It streamlines the charging process by providing relevant information to users.
