Solution Overview

Problem

Existing battery management systems face challenges in transmitting large amounts of battery information in real time due to resource constraints, leading to inefficiencies in communication and processing.

Innovation Solution

A battery information compression apparatus and method that encodes battery information using a communication code generating unit to determine representative values and reference values, applying preset encoding rules to generate first and second encoding codes, thereby compressing the data into a communication code for efficient transmission.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If battery information is transmitted without compression, then data accuracy is maintained, but system resources and communication bandwidth are excessively consumed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata accuracyVSAvoidsystem resources
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the essential and changing battery information parameters for transmission, rather than transmitting all raw data. The BMS identifies and transmits only relevant battery status changes, reducing communication load while maintaining necessary data accuracy for monitoring and control functions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameter representation by encoding battery information in a compressed format with variable precision. Different battery parameters are transmitted with appropriate precision levels based on their importance and change rate, optimizing the balance between data accuracy and communication efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Loss of information

If all battery information is transmitted in block units, then data completeness is ensured, but real-time transmission capability is lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata completenessVSAvoidtransmission speed
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSSpeed

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments battery information transmission into individual parameter units rather than transmitting complete data blocks. Each battery parameter can be transmitted independently and asynchronously, enabling real-time transmission of critical information while maintaining overall data completeness through selective reporting.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements periodic transmission of battery information based on change thresholds and time intervals. Critical parameters are transmitted immediately when thresholds are exceeded, while less critical parameters follow periodic schedules, achieving both real-time responsiveness and data completeness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

3Productivity

If compression encoding is applied to battery information, then communication efficiency is improved, but processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication efficiencyVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements self-service compression where the BMS automatically performs encoding and compression of battery information using predefined rules and thresholds. The system serves itself by autonomously identifying which parameters need transmission, applying appropriate compression algorithms, and managing communication resources without external intervention, thereby improving efficiency without proportionally increasing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
