Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for controlling charging of an electric vehicle. The system captures metadata and at least one input value from a user device present in a charging location. The metadata is associated with a charging device, installed at the charging location, capable of charging one or more electric vehicles. The at least one input value corresponds to at least one charging parameter of a plurality of charging parameters associated with charging of an electric vehicle belonging to a user of the user device. The system computes values corresponding to one or more other parameters of the plurality of charging parameters based upon the at least one input value captured from the user device. The system displays the values computed on the user device for validation by the user. The system further transmits one or more control commands to the charging device to charge the electric vehicle.

Abstract: The present application describes a vending machine, communicatively coupled with a server. The vending machine comprises a Vending Machine Controller (VMC), a Data Exchange (DEX), a Vivid Transaction System (VTS), a payment device and a microcontroller. The microcontroller selects one of the DEX and the VTS, by changing a jumper setting on a GPIO. The microcontroller communicates with the VMC, the DEX and/or the VTS and the payment device in order to facilitate transaction associated with the vending machine. The microcontroller extracts at least one of inventory data and transaction data from the DEX or VTS associated with the vending machine and transmit at least one of the inventory data and the transaction data to the server for further processing and analysis. The microcontroller receives recommendation information pertaining to at least one of inventory and transaction associated to the vending machine from the server based upon the processing and analysis.
