Motohiro Takeuchi has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11629682
    Abstract: A vehicle controlling apparatus includes an engine processor, an electric motor, an electric power storage, an SOC detector, an internal resistance detector, and a resistance threshold setting unit. The engine processor is configured to stop an engine of a vehicle on the basis of a stop condition, and start the engine on the basis of a start condition. The engine processor is configured to prohibit a stop of the engine based on the stop condition based on determining that an internal resistance of the electric power storage detected by the internal resistance detector is equal to or greater than a resistance threshold set by the resistance threshold setting unit on the basis of a state of charge of the electric power storage, and permit the stop of the engine based on determining that the internal resistance is less than the resistance threshold.

  • Patent number: 11104235
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, there is provided a charging management system including a display controller configured to cause a display device to display a time slot which is settable as a new desired rental time slot of an electric vehicle, based on a charging time slot on an assumption that charging to the vehicle by a second charging device is performed, and a scheduling module configured to set the desired rental time slot as a time slot in which rental is possible, if the charging to the electric vehicle for enabling the rental is possible in the input desired rental time slot and the rental time slot in which the rental reservation has been made.

  • Patent number: 7880442
    Abstract: One of first through fourth target state of charge levels, which are set at values that increase gradually over time, is selected on the basis of an ON/OFF state of a specific current consumer installed in the vehicle and a state of charge immediately preceding an engine stoppage. A target state of charge is set on the basis of the selected target state of charge level and an elapsed time after the lead storage battery is installed in the vehicle, whereupon the target state of charge is compared with the actual state of charge of the lead storage battery. The lead storage battery is charged in accordance with the comparative result.
