Battery Reservation Device Simplifying User Input via Power Calculation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional battery reservation systems for power consumption elements with multiple battery packs are complex for users, requiring detailed input of reservation information including battery pack numbers and power amounts, making the reservation process non-intuitive.
Innovation Solution
A battery reservation device with an input acceptance component, battery number acquisition component, and rental number and capacity calculator simplifies the reservation process by allowing users to input only the total power amount desired, calculating the number and capacity of rentable battery packs based on installed packs, and presenting suitable battery stations for selection.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If the user inputs detailed reservation information including battery pack numbers and power amounts, then the reservation system can accurately process the request, but the operation becomes complex and non-intuitive
Solution Approach 1:
The battery reservation device automatically acquires the number of battery packs installed in the power consumption element and calculates the required battery pack specifications based on the total power amount input by the user. This self-service mechanism eliminates the need for users to manually input detailed battery configuration information, thereby maintaining reservation accuracy while significantly simplifying the operation process
Solution Approach 2:
The system pre-stores information about the number of battery packs installed in the power consumption element and performs preliminary calculations to determine the appropriate battery pack specifications. By preparing this information in advance, the system reduces the user's input burden to merely specifying the total power amount, thus resolving the contradiction between precision and simplicity
2Ease of operation
If the system calculates the number and capacity of rentable battery packs based on installed packs and total power amount, then the user operation is simplified, but additional processing steps are required
Solution Approach 1:
The battery reservation device integrates multiple functions into a single system: it acquires installed battery pack information, calculates the number and capacity of rentable battery packs, identifies suitable battery stations, and processes the reservation. This multi-functional integration handles the increased processing complexity internally while maintaining a simple user interface, thus resolving the contradiction between operational simplicity and processing complexity
