Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing technologies face challenges in efficiently requesting and obtaining specific battery information from a plurality of batteries, particularly in real-time applications like electric vehicles, due to the time-consuming process of transmitting and extracting desired data from all batteries, which is not addressed by current communication standards.
Innovation Solution
A battery information requesting apparatus and method that includes a communication unit, target information determining unit, and control unit to generate and send request packets with specific target information and offsets, allowing selective retrieval of battery data from a preset list, optimizing packet structures based on data amount, and identifying target batteries.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If all battery information for multiple batteries is transmitted to ensure complete data availability, then information completeness is improved, but transmission time and processing time increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and transmits only the specific battery information that is actually needed, rather than transmitting all battery data. The sending side transmits data in a format that allows the receiving side to directly obtain target battery information without needing to process all battery data, thereby reducing transmission time while maintaining information completeness for the required parameters.
2Loss of time
If single battery information is transmitted at a time to reduce data amount, then transmission time is reduced, but communication efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple battery information parameters into a single transmission packet. The sending side transmits information for multiple batteries simultaneously by organizing data in a structured format that includes battery identification and corresponding parameters, allowing the receiving side to extract multiple pieces of information in one reception operation, thereby improving communication efficiency without significantly increasing transmission time.
3Loss of information
If all battery data is received to ensure data availability, then information availability is improved, but processing time to extract desired information increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by having the sending side organize and structure the battery data in advance according to the receiving side's needs. The data is formatted with clear identification of battery parameters and corresponding values, so that when the data is received, the receiving side can directly extract the required information without extensive processing, thereby reducing processing time while maintaining information availability.
