  • Patent number: 10300805
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus are disclosed for communicating with a charging system comprising a plurality of charging stations configured to charge an electric vehicle. At least one first signal is transmitted to the charging system via a first communication link while the electric vehicle is a first distance from at least one charging station of the plurality of charging stations. The at least one first signal is indicative of a vehicle identifier of the electric vehicle. At least one second signal is received from the at least one charging station of the plurality of charging stations via a second communication link while the electric vehicle is a second distance from the at least one charging station, the second distance less than the first distance. The at least one second signal is indicative of a charging station identifier of the at least one charging station.

  • Patent number: 10146647
    Abstract: Various systems, methods, and apparatuses for operating a wireless charging device in an electric vehicle are disclosed. One method includes detecting a system fault indicative of one or more faults in the wireless charging device in the electric vehicle or in the transmitter. The method further includes determining a fault severity level from a plurality of fault severity levels based on a type of the system fault detected. A total number of types of system faults can be greater than a total number of the plurality of fault severity levels. The method further includes performing one or more system fault response operation based on the determined fault severity level. Each of the plurality of fault severity levels can be associated with a different set of system fault response operations.

  • Publication number: 20080147530
    Abstract: Transfer management of licensed applications from an original user equipment (UE) device to a destination UE device is facilitated by a communication network that tracks the inventory of software application that has been previously licensed, and suggests a suite of applications equivalent to, an upgraded version of, or an appropriate cross sell opportunity for a configuration (e.g., chipset and operating system) of a destination UE device (e.g., cellular telephone able to run applications such as games, media players, and personal organizers, etc.) Business rules automate pricing appropriate for the proposed configuration to automate and increase the convenience for both the user and provider. Once accepted, the appropriate executable code is distributed to the destination UE device, appropriate pro-rated billing is initiated, and the prior licensed applications either locked for subsequent transfer back, or deleted to effect a permanent transfer.
