SELECTION OF BATTERY REMEDIATION TYPE AND/OR BATTERY REMEDIATION STATION BASED UPON AVAILABLE TIME PERIOD AT LOCATION

摘要

The present disclosure provides, among other things, various systems, methods, and apparatus for battery remediation in connection with electric powered mobile things (EPMTs). A representative method, among others, is implemented in a host computer system (H-CS) that is remote from the EPMTs and can be summarized by the following steps: engaging in an EPMT communication session, with one or more transceivers, with a personal communication device (PCD) associated with a user of the EPMT or with an EPMT computer system associated with the EPMT; receiving, during the EPMT communication session, a battery remediation request, a location of the EPMT, and a time period to accomplish battery remediation; selecting a type of battery remediation based at least in part upon the time period; selecting a BRS based at least in part upon the selected type of battery remediation; and engaging in a BRS communication session, with the one or more transceivers, with a PCD associated with a user of the selected BRS or with a BRS computer system associated with the selected BRS; and communicating, during the BRS communication session, a request for use of the BRS by the EPMT and a battery remediation location (the EPMT location, the BRS location, or a different location). A representative system, among others, comprises an H-CS that is programmed or designed to perform the foregoing steps.

主权项

1. A computer system that selects a battery remediation station (BRS) to perform battery remediation for an electric powered mobile thing (EPMT), the computer system comprising:
one or more transceivers that communicate data to and from the computer system; one or more memories; one or more processors that execute computer program code that is stored in the one or more memories; and wherein the computer program code comprises:
code that engages in an EPMT communication session, with the one or more transceivers, with a personal communication device (PCD) associated with a user of the EPMT or with an EPMT computer system associated with the EPMT;code that receives, during the EPMT communication session, a battery remediation request, a location of the EPMT, and a time period that is available to accomplish battery remediation;code that selects a type of battery remediation based at least in part upon the time period;code that selects the BRS from a plurality of available BRSs based at least in part upon the selected type of battery remediation;code that engages in a BRS communication session, with the one or more transceivers, with a PCD associated with a user of the selected BRS or with a BRS computer system associated with the selected BRS; andcode that communicates, during the BRS communication session, a request for use of the BRS by the EPMT and a battery remediation location, the battery remediation location being the EPMT location, the BRS location, or a different location.
