Solution Overview

Problem

Electric vehicle drivers face challenges such as limited charging stations, long charging times, and difficulty in intuitively recognizing battery charge levels, leading to range anxiety and suboptimal driving conditions.

Innovation Solution

A server and device system that analyzes driving and charging data to provide a battery display status to electric vehicle drivers, including a vehicle information receiver, driving data analyzer, charging data analyzer, and display status setting part, which calculates and sets the battery display status based on driving habits, charging habits, and battery health, transmitting this information to the vehicle terminal.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If battery charge level is displayed using traditional gauge or percentage, then the display is simple and easy to implement, but drivers cannot intuitively recognize remaining battery charge and experience range anxiety

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveintuitive recognition of battery chargeVSAvoidbattery display system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a server as an intermediary between the vehicle's battery system and the display interface. The server receives raw battery data, analyzes driving patterns and charging habits, calculates accurate remaining charge information, and transmits processed data to the display device. This intermediary process transforms simple percentage data into intuitive range information without requiring complex hardware modifications in the vehicle.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary analysis of driving patterns and charging habits before displaying battery status. By pre-processing data to understand typical consumption rates and charging behaviors, the system can provide more accurate remaining charge predictions. This preliminary action enables intuitive display without requiring complex real-time calculations during driving.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If motor output is reduced for battery protection, then battery longevity is improved, but driving conditions deteriorate and drivers complain

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebattery protectionVSAvoiddriving condition
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic adjustment of motor output based on real-time battery status, driving patterns, and predicted remaining charge. Rather than static reduction, the system continuously adapts power delivery to balance battery protection with driving performance. This dynamic approach allows full power when appropriate while providing protective reduction only when necessary, maintaining driving satisfaction while extending battery life.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system establishes a feedback loop where battery status, driving patterns, and motor output are continuously monitored and adjusted. The server receives data from the vehicle, analyzes the relationship between power delivery and battery state, and provides feedback recommendations for optimal power management. This closed-loop control ensures battery protection without significantly impacting driving conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Measurement precision

If detailed driving and charging data are collected and analyzed, then accurate battery status prediction is achieved, but data processing complexity and time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebattery status prediction accuracyVSAvoiddata processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary analysis of driving patterns and charging habits during periods when the vehicle is not in use or during low-load operations. By pre-processing historical data to establish baseline consumption rates and charging characteristics, the system reduces the computational burden during critical real-time battery status predictions. This preliminary action enables accurate predictions without requiring extensive processing time during active driving.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a tiered data processing approach where only essential data elements are processed in real-time, while comprehensive analysis is performed periodically or when computational resources are available. The system identifies and processes the most critical parameters for battery status prediction, accepting slightly less precision in less critical scenarios. This partial processing approach balances accuracy requirements with time constraints.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
