Solution Overview

Problem

Existing technologies face challenges in efficiently requesting and obtaining specific battery information from multiple batteries due to time-consuming data transmission and lack of selective information retrieval, particularly in systems requiring real-time data communication like electric vehicles.

Innovation Solution

A battery information requesting apparatus and method that calculates and generates request packets based on specific data amounts, using preset packet structures to target a single battery, allowing efficient communication of only the required information.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If all battery information for multiple batteries is transmitted, then complete information is provided, but transmission time and processing time increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebattery information completenessVSAvoiddata transmission time
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and transmits only the specific battery information that is requested, rather than transmitting all battery information. The control unit identifies the target battery based on the request packet and extracts only the relevant data, thereby reducing transmission time while maintaining information completeness for the requested target.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the battery information transmission by dividing it into individual battery-specific packets. Each request packet targets a specific battery (first battery, second battery, etc.), allowing selective transmission of only the required segments of battery information rather than transmitting all information in a single bulk transmission.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Loss of time

If single battery information is transmitted selectively, then transmission time is reduced, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission timeVSAvoidcommunication control complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-defining packet structures that include target battery identification fields. The request packets are pre-configured with identifiers that specify which battery information is needed, allowing the receiving control unit to immediately identify and process only the relevant data without requiring complex runtime decision-making.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Loss of information

If data amount is increased to provide more information, then information completeness improves, but communication efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebattery information completenessVSAvoidcommunication efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by tailoring each communication packet to contain only the specific information quality and quantity needed for the requested target battery. Rather than using a uniform high-data packet for all batteries, each packet is locally optimized to contain only the necessary data for its specific target, improving overall communication efficiency while maintaining information completeness for each request.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
