  • Publication number: 20230302937
    Abstract: An ability of a power transmission device to transfer electric charge in a power-transmission area at a particular point in time is identified. The ability comprises a threshold number of vehicles to which the power-transmission device can transfer electric charge with at least a threshold efficiency. A predicted number of electric vehicles that are likely to be requesting electric charge within the power-transmission area at the particular point in time is calculated. The number of electric vehicles that are likely to be requesting electric charge within the power-transmission area at the particular point in time is adjusted based on a determination that the predicted number of vehicles is not bound by the threshold number of vehicles.

  • Publication number: 20230186362
    Abstract: In an approach for generating the most optimal support execution method, a processor receives a shopping support request from a user requesting at least one product be purchased and delivered to the user while the user travels along a scheduled travel route via a public or private transportation method. A processor identifies a plurality of delivery places and a plurality of delivery times. A processor determines at least one shopper candidate who can purchase and deliver the at least one product. A processor presents, to the at least one shopper candidate, a list comprised of optimal support execution methods. Responsive to receiving an acceptance of the shopping support request, a processor sends a support task to at least one shopper. A processor enables the at least one shopper to execute the shopping support request. A processor dynamically updates one or more details of the support task.
