Problems solved by technology

However, continuously broadcasting or probing requests for connection or pairing consumes energy unnecessarily and may expose the vehicle to unauthorized attempts to establish communication with the vehicle (hacking)
While vehicle systems that rely on the user to initiate communication with a wireless charging station via a button press or similar action may be safe, manually initiating communication is inconvenient and does not meet the hands-free design intent of wireless vehicle charging

Embodiment Construction

[0013] As required, specific embodiments are disclosed herein; however, it should be understood that the disclosed embodiments are representative only and that the claimed subject matter can be embodied in various and alternative forms. The figures are not necessarily to scale; some features may be exaggerated or minimized to show details of particular components. Therefore, specific structural and functional details disclosed herein are not to be interpreted as limiting, but merely as a representative basis for teaching one skilled in the art to variously employ the claimed subject matter.

[0014] Various embodiments include a system or method for initiating or establishing communication between a vehicle wireless charging system and a stationary charging station using location based services (LBS). For example, a vehicle equipped with a wireless power transfer (WPT) system will typically be charged at the vehicle owner's residence or at a frequently visited public site, suc...

Abstract

A system and method for vehicle wireless vehicle charging communications using location based services are provided. A system and method for managing communications with a vehicle wireless charging station include a vehicle having a battery configured for wireless charging and a vehicle computing system having a transceiver and a processor programmed to broadcast a signal by the vehicle computing system using the transceiver to establish a communication link with a vehicle wireless charging station in response to a current vehicle location being within a specified range of a previously authorized vehicle wireless charging station. The system and method may include a vehicle HMI to prompt a user for input to authorize communication with a wireless charging station that is not recognized or that has not been previously authorized. Wireless charging related broadcasts may be inhibited when the vehicle is not within a specified range of a known wireless charging station location to conserve energy and reduce potential for unauthorized responses to the vehicle broadcasts.

Description

technical field [0001] Aspects of the present disclosure relate to wireless power transfer communication management using vehicle-embedded location-based services. Background technique [0002] To facilitate hands-free wireless vehicle charging, vehicles equipped with wireless charging capabilities communicate with wireless charging stations. Communication is initiated and managed by the vehicle and / or charging station. Some prior art strategies have the vehicle continuously broadcast or ping a communication signal to establish communication with the charging station while the vehicle is within range of the charging station. However, continuously broadcasting or probing requests for connection or pairing consumes energy unnecessarily and may expose the vehicle to unauthorized attempts to establish communication with the vehicle (hacking). While vehicle systems that rely on a user to initiate communication with a wireless charging station via button presses or the like may ...
