Patent number: 11139684Abstract: A network of collection, charging and distribution machines collect, charge and distribute portable electrical energy storage devices (e.g., batteries, supercapacitors or ultracapacitors). To allow easy and convenient access to empty portable electrical energy storage device compartments within the vehicles, if the vehicle comes within the vicinity of a collection, charging and distribution machine or other authorized external device such as a key fob or other wireless device of a user, an empty portable electrical energy storage device compartment that is closed or locked, is unlocked, unlatched or opened automatically. Also, if the portable electrical energy storage device compartment is in another desired state to have the compartment unlocked, such as having a portable electrical energy storage device in the compartment that has a charge level below a particular threshold, the compartment will likewise be unlocked, unlatched or opened automatically.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2016Date of Patent: October 5, 2021Assignee: Gogoro Inc.Inventors: Yi-Tsung Wu, Hok-Sum Horace Luke, Jui Sheng Huang, Matthew Whiting Taylor, Huang-Cheng Hung

Patent number: 11075530Abstract: A collection, charging and distribution machine collects, charges and distributes portable electrical energy storage devices (e.g., batteries, super- or ultracapacitors). To charge, the machine employs electrical current from an external source, such as the electrical grid or an electrical service of an installation location. The machine determines a first number of devices to be rapidly charged, employing charge from a second number of devices identified to sacrifice charge. Thus, some devices may be concurrently charged via current from the electrical service and current from other devices, to achieve rapid charging of some subset of devices. The devices that sacrifice charge may later be charged. Such may ensure availability of devices for end users.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2014Date of Patent: July 27, 2021Assignee: Gogoro Inc.Inventors: Hok-Sum Horace Luke, Matthew Whiting Taylor, Huang-Cheng Hung

Patent number: 10573103Abstract: A network of collection, charging and distribution machines collect, charge and distribute portable electrical energy storage devices (e.g., batteries, supercapacitors or ultracapacitors). To avoid theft and tampering of the portable electrical energy storage devices, by default, each portable electrical energy storage device is locked in and operably connected to the vehicle to which it provides power unless the vehicle comes within the vicinity of a collection, charging and distribution machine or other authorized external device such as that in a service center. Once within the vicinity of a collection, charging and distribution machine or other authorized external device a locking mechanism in the vehicle or within the portable electrical energy storage device unlocks and allows the portable electrical energy storage device to be exchanged or serviced.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2018Date of Patent: February 25, 2020Assignee: Gogoro Inc.Inventors: Matthew Whiting Taylor, Yi-Tsung Wu, Hok-Sum Horace Luke, Huang-Cheng Hung

Patent number: 9248806Abstract: A vehicle has a security and anti-theft system that senses movement of the vehicle in a forward or backward direction when the vehicle is in a locked state, such as by detecting wheel rotation. Upon this detection, the security system signals the motor to counteract the wheel movement by rotating one or more wheels in the opposite direction of the direction of wheel rotation detected until the wheel rotation is no longer detected. The security and anti-theft system may determine whether the vehicle is in a locked state by detecting whether a key is present and/or by one or more communications received by an external wireless device.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2012Date of Patent: February 2, 2016Assignee: Gogoro Inc.Inventors: Yi-Tsung Wu, Hok-Sum Horace Luke, Huang-Cheng Hung, Matthew Whiting Taylor

Publication number: 20030227390Abstract: A low-battery-status informing device for portable electronic apparatus includes a power switch, a voltage level determination module and a status informing display. The power switch is provided for users to turn on the power of the portable electronic apparatus. The voltage level determination module compares the voltage level of the battery with a reference level and outputs a status determining signal. In response to the status determining signal, the status informing display outputs a status informing signal to users without waking up the portable electronic apparatus.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 7, 2002Publication date: December 11, 2003Inventors: Huang-Cheng Hung, Raymond Tsai, Nicholas Han, Tyrancy Wan, Eric Hsu, Jack Hsu
