Patent number: 12659736Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2023Date of Patent: June 16, 2026Assignee: GM Global Technology Operations LLCInventors: Lakshmi V. Thanayankizil, Sandeep U. Menon, Nnamdi U. Uwakwe, Thomas Doran, Ravid Erez

Patent number: 12386642Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2024Date of Patent: August 12, 2025Assignee: PayPal, Inc.Inventors: Vinesh Chirakkil, Pankaj Sarin, Thomas Doran, Matthew Fundus
