  • Publication number: 20230350368
    Abstract: A scheduling method for charging multiple electric vehicles includes: get a sorted list of an operation period; get an estimated charging power consumption required for charging each electric vehicle when each electric vehicle is connected to one of the charging machines and get an instant power consumption of an electricity consuming field; control one or more of the charging machines to correspondingly charge one or more of the plurality of electric vehicles with higher priority in a departure order based on the departure order information in the sorted list when a sum of the instant power consumption and the estimated charging power consumptions is greater than a regulated power consumption that is smaller than an upper limit power consumption of the electricity consuming field, thereby preventing the instant power consumption of the electricity consuming field from exceeding the upper limit power consumption.

  • Publication number: 20230311693
    Abstract: A method of charging management of an electric vehicle includes: get an initial power of the electric vehicle; calculate an actual power consumption of the electric vehicle in an operation period; get a remaining power by subtracting the actual power consumption from the initial power; get a predicted power consumption of the electric vehicle in a next operation period; control a charging machine to charge the electric vehicle after the electric vehicle being connected to the charging machine until a power of the electric vehicle reaches the predicted power consumption from the remaining power, thereby avoiding wasting power due to overcharging.

  • Patent number: 7197517
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer products that efficiently share and move data between different types of data storage formats. More particularly, the preferred embodiment of the present invention provides an easy to use graphical user interface (GUI) for displaying, navigating, and selecting hierarchical database segments and fields. The preferred embodiment of the present invention novelly uses a hierarchical tree structure that clearly represents the structures of a database and their mutual exclusivity, for easy understanding of and navigation through the various database structures. The user is prevented from selecting segments and fields that are not valid for the selected path thereby ensuring accuracy in the representation of the database data structures. Also, the user may select a path from the top of the hierarchical tree, the root, to a specific segment or field.
