  • Patent number: 12659736
    Abstract: Presented are vehicle charging systems and control logic provisioning smart vehicle charging using encrypted wireless connectivity, methods for making/using such systems, and vehicles interoperable with such systems. A method of controlling a charging operation of a vehicle includes a vehicle controller retrieving a unique ID assigned to the vehicle from a memory device. When approaching an electric vehicle charging station (EVCS), the controller responsively embeds the unique ID in a wireless message, including encrypting and inserting the unique ID into a dedicated extension frame within the wireless message. The vehicle then broadcasts the wireless message with the embedded and encrypted unique ID. An EVCS controller parses the encrypted unique ID from the wireless message and transmits the encrypted unique ID to a back-office (BO) vehicle services provider.

  • Patent number: 12386642
    Abstract: Systems and techniques that facilitate computing touchpoint journey recommendations are provided. In various embodiments, an input component can receive a computing context of a client and a computing profile of a client. In various instances, the client can be engaged in a computing touchpoint journey. In various embodiments, a prediction component can predict, via a first machine learning classifier, a negative event likely to occur on the computing touchpoint journey. In various cases, the first machine learning classifier can receive as input the computing context and the computing profile and can generate as output the predicted negative event. In various embodiments, a decision component can recommend in real-time, via a second machine learning classifier, a computing touchpoint to which to transfer the client.

  • Publication number: 20250249778
    Abstract: An electric vehicle (EV) monitoring system for a vehicle includes a display and a server configured to receive data from one or more charging stations. The data includes a rate of charge. The EV monitoring system also includes an electronic control unit (ECU) communicatively coupled with the server and the display. The ECU includes data processing hardware that includes an EV monitoring application. The EV monitoring application includes a state of charge of the vehicle and is configured to generate a frequency diagram based on the rate of charge received by the server and the state of charge.

  • Patent number: 11704363
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve systems, methods, devices, and the like for generating highly scalable temporal graph databases. In one embodiment, a novel architecture is presented that enables the identification of mutation or changes in graphs. For the identification a combination of graph-based modeling and journal entry is used. Events occurring are consumed and changes are ingested, transformed for use by a graph simulation system. The changes are journaled using a vertex centric temporal journaling schema.
