EV Charge Sharing Communication for Low-Battery Vehicle Rescue
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a lack of coordination in charge transfer between electric vehicles and charging stations, particularly when electric vehicles are too discharged to reach a charging station, and bidirectional energy transfer capabilities are not effectively utilized.
Innovation Solution
A system comprising a processor and memory that executes computer executable components for determining whether a vehicle's battery condition satisfies charge sharing criteria, and establishing communication with other vehicles for charge sharing, including navigation and charge transfer components.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If electric vehicles are equipped with bidirectional energy transfer capability, then charge sharing between vehicles becomes possible, but coordination and communication mechanisms are lacking
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a communication component as an intermediary that coordinates charge sharing between vehicles. This mediator manages the complex interactions by establishing communication protocols and coordination mechanisms, allowing bidirectional energy transfer to occur in an organized manner without requiring direct complex interactions between all vehicle systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The communication component serves multiple functions: it manages charge sharing coordination, exchanges vehicle status information, and handles communication protocols. This multi-functional approach reduces overall system complexity by consolidating coordination tasks into a single versatile component rather than requiring separate specialized systems for each function.
2Ease of operation
If vehicles determine battery conditions and establish communication for charge sharing, then charge transfer can be enabled, but system complexity and communication requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary determination of battery conditions and vehicle suitability for charge sharing before establishing actual charge transfer. The charge sharing determination component evaluates battery status, capacity, and compatibility in advance, so that when communication is established, the charge sharing process can proceed smoothly without requiring complex real-time decision-making during the actual transfer.
Solution Approach 2:
The system divides the charge sharing process into distinct functional components: a determination component that assesses battery conditions, a communication component that establishes connections, and a charge transfer component that executes the energy transfer. This segmentation allows each component to handle specific tasks independently, reducing the complexity burden on any single part of the system.

AI summary
Vehicle charge sharing and communication (e.g., using a computerized tool) are enabled. For example, a vehicle can comprise a memory that stores computer executable components, and a processor that executes the computer executable components stored in the memory, wherein the computer executable components comprise a charge sharing determination component that, based on a charge sharing request from another vehicle, other than the vehicle, determines whether a condition of a battery of the vehicle satisfies a charge sharing criterion applicable to the charge sharing request, and a communication component that, based on the condition of the battery being determined to satisfy the charge sharing criterion, establishes a communicative connection with the another vehicle.
