Remote Battery Control Using Server-Predicted Deterioration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic devices lack a comprehensive solution for remote monitoring and control of battery status, leading to inefficient battery management and potential battery degradation.
Innovation Solution
A battery management system that includes an information processing device and a management server connected via a network, where the device transmits battery information to the server for analysis, and the server predicts battery status using a learning model to send control parameters back to the device for appropriate battery control.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If battery status is monitored locally only, then device complexity is reduced, but reliability of battery management deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
A management server is introduced as an intermediary between multiple electronic devices and the battery management system. The server receives battery information from devices, performs centralized analysis using learning models, and sends control information back. This distributes the complex processing functions to a dedicated server, improving reliability while keeping individual devices relatively simple.
2Loss of information
If battery control is performed without remote monitoring, then ease of operation is improved, but loss of information about battery status increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements a feedback loop where the control circuit continuously monitors battery status, transmits this information to the management server, receives control recommendations based on the server's analysis, and adjusts battery operations accordingly. This closed-loop feedback ensures comprehensive information availability while automating the control decisions to maintain ease of operation.
3Productivity
If battery information is not transmitted to management server, then loss of time for data transmission is reduced, but productivity of battery management system deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The control circuit is configured to transmit battery information to the management server at predetermined intervals rather than continuously. This periodic transmission reduces the total data transmission time and network overhead while still providing the management server with sufficient data to perform effective battery status analysis and control, thereby maintaining high management productivity.
Data Source
AI summary
An electronic device to which a drive power is supplied from a battery is provided. The electronic device includes a control circuit that acquires battery information including information related to a status of the battery, a storage that stores the acquired battery information, and an interface circuit that communicates with a management server via a network. The control circuit transmits the battery information stored in the storage to the management server via the interface circuit. The control circuit receives control information related to control of the battery from the management server via the interface circuit. The control circuit controls the battery according to the received control information.
