Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing charging systems for electric vehicles do not consider variations in traveling energy consumption, leading to inefficient charging plans that do not optimize energy use based on different travel routes and driving conditions.
Innovation Solution
A charging plan creating apparatus that calculates energy variations for each travel route and allocates usable charging time based on comparisons between routes, ensuring that electric vehicles are charged efficiently according to their specific energy needs.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a common charging plan is created for multiple electric vehicles without considering individual energy variations, then the charging system is simple to operate, but energy efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the charging plan creation process by calculating individual energy variation levels for each electric vehicle based on their specific travel routes and conditions. Instead of applying a uniform charging plan, the system divides vehicles into different groups or individuals based on their energy characteristics, allowing customized charging time allocation that optimizes energy efficiency while maintaining operational simplicity through automated calculation.
2Use of energy by moving object
If charging plans are customized for each electric vehicle based on energy variation levels, then energy efficiency is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements self-service by automatically calculating energy variation levels for each electric vehicle based on their travel routes, conditions, and historical data. The charging plan creator autonomously determines appropriate charging times and durations without requiring manual intervention or complex user input, thereby improving energy efficiency while keeping the system relatively simple to operate through automated decision-making algorithms.
3Ease of operation
If charging time is allocated without considering energy variation levels, then the charging system is easy to manage, but productivity deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by calculating energy variation levels and determining optimal charging times in advance before the actual charging process. The charging plan creator pre-allocation of charging time slots based on predicted energy needs and travel schedules, allowing the system to achieve high charging efficiency and productivity while maintaining ease of management through automated advance planning rather than complex real-time adjustments.

AI summary
In a charging plan creating apparatus, a charging plan creator obtains a level of energy variation for a first travel route as a first level of energy variation, and obtains a level of energy variation for a second travel route as a second level of energy variation. The charging plan creator allocates, based on a common stop time of both first and second electric vehicles in accordance with a comparison between the first level of energy variation for the first travel route and the second level of energy variation for the second travel route to accordingly create first and second charging plans for the respective first and second electric vehicles.
