SERVER DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240246443 titled 'SERVER DEVICE
The abstract of the patent application describes a server device that can acquire information on power purchase prices from a charging point and a facility. When the power purchase price from the facility is lower than the price from the charging point, the server device sends an instruction to a power supply vehicle to move along a travel route that passes through the facility.
- Key Features and Innovation:
- Server device with communication and control units - Acquires power purchase prices from charging point and facility - Sends instructions to power supply vehicle based on price differentials - Optimizes power supply route for cost efficiency
- Potential Applications:
- Electric vehicle charging networks - Fleet management systems - Energy cost optimization in transportation
- Problems Solved:
- Efficient utilization of power supply resources - Cost-effective power purchasing strategies - Streamlining power supply operations for vehicles
- Benefits:
- Cost savings on power purchases - Improved operational efficiency for power supply vehicles - Enhanced sustainability in transportation systems
- Commercial Applications:
- Electric vehicle charging infrastructure companies - Fleet management service providers - Energy management software developers
- Prior Art:

Original Abstract Submitted
a server device includes a communication unit and a control unit. the control unit is configured to acquire information on a first power purchase price from a charging point and a second power purchase price from a facility, and when the second power purchase price is lower than the first power purchase price, send to a power supply vehicle configured to supply power to another vehicle an instruction to move along a travel route that passes through the facility.
