Battery Magnetic Field Authentication for Charging Station Evaluation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing charging device search functions lack the ability to provide reliable information for determining the quality or authenticity of charging devices in battery sharing services, making it difficult to assess whether a charging device is good or not.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus and method that utilizes magnetic field distribution analysis to authenticate the authenticity of vehicle batteries and evaluates charging devices based on this authentication, providing evaluation metrics such as genuine and non-genuine product delivery probabilities.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If a charging device search function is provided to search for charging devices from among stations operated by business operators, then users can find charging devices in designated places, but it is difficult to provide information that contributes to determination on whether or not the charging device is good
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs authenticity determination of batteries in advance before they are delivered to users. By measuring magnetic field distributions and comparing them against registered genuine battery patterns, the system pre-evaluates charging devices based on the authenticity of batteries they deliver, and this evaluation information is made available to users before they choose a charging device.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an intermediary evaluation mechanism that mediates between charging devices and users. Instead of directly providing raw data, the system acts as an intermediary that collects battery authenticity data, processes it through comparison with registered patterns, and delivers processed evaluation information about charging device reliability to users.
2Reliability
If magnetic field distribution measurement is used to perform authenticity determination on batteries, then reliable information about charging device quality can be provided, but measurement and analysis complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system creates a copy or pattern of the magnetic field distribution characteristics for each genuine battery type during a registration phase. These patterns are stored as reference data, and during authenticity determination, the measured magnetic field distribution is compared against these pre-created patterns to identify genuine batteries without requiring complex real-time analysis.
Solution Approach 2:
The magnetic field pattern registration is performed in advance for all genuine battery types. By pre-measuring and storing the characteristic magnetic field distributions of authentic batteries, the system eliminates the need for complex real-time identification algorithms during actual authenticity checks, simplifying the measurement process while maintaining high reliability.
