Battery Holding Interface for Cross-Device Use History Integration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing battery management systems only read use history information from batteries, making it difficult to provide comprehensive and satisfactory information to users when batteries are removed and installed in different apparatuses.
Innovation Solution
A holding apparatus with a first connection portion for detachably connecting to an electric storage device and a receiving part that stores information, including attachment counterpart information, from the electric storage device when connected. This information includes use history from different power apparatuses the battery is mounted on.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If use history information is only read from the battery in a simple manner, then the system structure remains simple, but the information completeness and user satisfaction deteriorate when the battery is moved between different power apparatuses
Solution Approach 1:
The holding apparatus is designed to accommodate and manage batteries from multiple different power apparatuses (electric bicycles, electric motorcycles, electric forklifts, etc.). The apparatus reads and integrates use history information from various battery types and sources, making the system universally applicable across different power consumption devices rather than being dedicated to a single device type.
Solution Approach 2:
The holding apparatus serves as an intermediary between the battery and the user/power apparatus. It collects use history information from the battery's storage unit, processes and integrates this information along with attachment counterpart information, and presents comprehensive usage records to the user. This intermediary role enables complete information tracking without requiring direct integration between every power apparatus and the user interface.
2Loss of information
If the holding apparatus only stores basic battery information, then the storage and processing requirements remain low, but the ability to provide comprehensive usage history across multiple power apparatuses deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The information management system is segmented into distinct functional components: the battery's storage unit that holds raw use history data, the holding apparatus's receiving unit that collects data from multiple sources, the integration unit that processes and combines information from different power apparatuses, and the output interface that presents consolidated usage history. This segmentation allows complex information processing to be distributed across multiple specialized functions rather than requiring a single complex system.
Solution Approach 2:
The holding apparatus performs preliminary actions by reading and storing use history information from the battery's storage unit before the user needs it. It proactively collects attachment counterpart information from multiple power apparatuses and integrates this data in advance, so that when the user queries the usage history, comprehensive information is already prepared and available without requiring complex real-time processing.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the system tracks usage history from multiple power apparatuses, then user satisfaction and information completeness improve, but the difficulty of integrating and managing data from different sources increases
Solution Approach 1:
The holding apparatus is designed with universal compatibility to work with batteries from different power apparatuses including electric bicycles, electric motorcycles, electric forklifts, and other power consumption devices. The system uses standardized communication protocols and data structures that can accommodate various battery types and sources, enabling multi-apparatus compatibility without requiring device-specific customization for each power apparatus type.

AI summary
A holding apparatus including a first connection portion to which a connection portion of an electric storage device is detachably connected, and a receiving part configured to receive stored information stored in a storage part of the electric storage device when the connection portion of the electric storage device is connected to the first connection portion. The stored information includes attachment counterpart information, and the attachment counterpart information is information on a power apparatus stored when the electric storage device is mounted on the power apparatus different from the holding apparatus.
