WIRELESS NETWORK CONNECTIONS FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGERS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17825395 titled 'WIRELESS NETWORK CONNECTIONS FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGERS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a system and method for a charging station that can establish a network connection with an electric vehicle when the regular connection with servers is unavailable. The connection is established based on the detection of the electric vehicle within a certain distance from the charging station.
- The charging station can detect when the regular network connection with servers is not available.
- It can establish a second network connection with an electric vehicle that is within a certain distance from the charging station.
- The second network connection is encrypted using a token provided by the electric vehicle.
- The charging station can collect data and transmit it to the electric vehicle, which will then provide the data to the servers via the second network connection.
Original Abstract Submitted
Systems and methods including a charging station, with one or more processors coupled to memory. The charging station is configured to determine that a first network connection between the charging station and one or more servers is unavailable, detect an electric vehicle having a token within a threshold distance of the charging station, and establish, a second network connection between the charging station and the electric vehicle based the determination that the first network connection is unavailable and the detection of the electric vehicle within the threshold distance. The second channel is encrypted based at least in part on the token provided by the electric vehicle. The charging station is configured to transmit data collected by the charging station to cause the electric vehicle to provide the data to the one or more servers via the second network connection.
