Abstract
According to one embodiment, provisioning an amount of power for one or more vehicles can comprise receiving a request indicating a requirement for an amount of power for the one or more vehicles. The request can indicate the requirement for the amount of power for the one or more vehicles individually or in total. A set of management rules can be read from one or more databases. A set of service configuration information and a set of vehicle specific information for the one or more vehicles can also be read from one or more databases. One or more power sources to meet the requirement for the amount of power for the one or more vehicles can be determined based on applying the management rules and using the set of service configuration information and the set of vehicle information and an indication of the determined power sources can be provided.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1 . A method for provisioning an amount of power for one or more vehicles, the method comprising:
determining, by a service provider system, one or more power sources to meet a requirement for an amount of power for one or more vehicles based on applying a set of management rules and using a set of service configuration information and a set of vehicle specific information for the one or more vehicles; providing, from the service provider system over a communications network to a controller of a battery exchange facility, an indication of the determined power sources; and causing, by the controller of the battery exchange facility, operation of equipment of the battery exchange facility to effect a battery exchange on the one or more vehicles based on the indication of the determined power sources.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more vehicles comprises a plurality of vehicles.
3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the request indicates the requirement for the amount of power for the plurality of vehicles in total.
4 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the requirement for the amount of power for the plurality of vehicles in total is expressed in terms of a total distance travelled by the plurality of vehicles.
5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the set of service configuration information comprises terms of a license agreement.
6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the set of vehicle specific information for the one or more vehicles comprises information identifying a type of power source used by each of the one or more vehicles.
7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the power sources comprise batteries.
8 . A system comprising:
a processor; and a memory coupled with and readable by the processor and storing therein a set of instructions which, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to provision an amount of power for one or more vehicles, the method comprising: determining one or more power sources to meet a requirement for the amount of power for the one or more vehicles based on applying a set of management rules and using a set of service configuration information and a set of vehicle specific information for the one or more vehicles; providing, to a controller of a battery exchange facility, an indication of the determined power sources; and causing the controller of the battery exchange facility to operate equipment of the battery exchange facility to enable a battery exchange on the one or more vehicles based on the indication of the determined power sources.
9 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the one or more vehicles comprises a plurality of vehicles.
10 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the request indicates the requirement for the amount of power for the plurality of vehicles in total.
11 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the requirement for the amount of power for the plurality of vehicles in total is expressed in terms of a total distance travelled by the plurality of vehicles.
12 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the set of service configuration information comprises terms of a license agreement.
13 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the set of vehicle specific information for the one or more vehicles comprises information identifying a type of power source used by each of the one or more vehicles.
14 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the power sources comprise batteries.
15 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising a set of instructions stored thereon which, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to provision an amount of power for one or more vehicles by:
determining one or more power sources to meet a requirement for an amount of power for one or more vehicles based on applying a set of management rules and using a set of service configuration information and a set of vehicle specific information for the one or more vehicles; providing, to a controller of a battery exchange facility, an indication of the determined power sources; and causing the controller of the battery exchange facility to operate equipment of the battery exchange facility to enable a battery exchange on the one or more vehicles based on the indication of the determined power sources.
16 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the one or more vehicles comprises a plurality of vehicles.
17 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the request indicates the requirement for the amount of power for the plurality of vehicles in total.
18 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the requirement for the amount of power for the plurality of vehicles in total is expressed in terms of a total distance travelled by the plurality of vehicles.
19 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the set of service configuration information comprises terms of a license agreement.
20 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the set of vehicle specific information for the one or more vehicles comprises information identifying a type of power source used by each of the one or more vehicles.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
