  • Patent number: 11845353
    Abstract: Systems and methods for including overstay and human behavior in the pricing structure of a plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) charging station, in order to maximize operating revenue, and manage overstay duration. A mathematical framework with discrete choice models (DCM) is incorporated to operate a PEV charging station with an optimal pricing policy and charge control. The framework determines the probability of a PEV driver selecting various charging options, including overstay price. The pricing options are charging-flexibility, which allows a controller to manage charging costs over a parking duration, charging-asap, which charges the electric vehicle immediately and continuously until the vehicle departs, the battery is fully charged, or a desired level of charge has been reached, and leaving, which is an opportunity cost to the charging station.

  • Patent number: 11836759
    Abstract: An automatic system facilitates selection of media properties on which to display an advertisement, responsive to a profile collected on a first media property, where a behavioral-targeting company calculates expected profit for an ad correlated with the profile and arranges for the visitor to be tagged with a tag readable by the selected media property. The profit can be calculated by deducting, from the revenues that are expected to be generated from an ad delivered based on the collected profile, at least the price of ad space at a media property where the BT company might like to deliver ads to the profiled visitor. When the calculated profit is positive (i.e., not a loss), the BT company arranges for the visitor to be tagged with a tag readable by the selected media property through which the BT company expects to profit.

  • Patent number: 11755783
    Abstract: The disclosed exemplary embodiments include computer-implemented systems, apparatuses, and processes that manage cryptographically secure exchanges of data using a permissioned distributed ledger. For example, an apparatus obtains parameter values characterizing an exchange of data and transmits the parameter values to a first computing system, which executed instructions included within a distributed ledger. The executed additional instructions cause the first computing system to access rules data recorded onto the distributed ledger and establish a consistency between the parameter values and at least a portion of the accessed rules data. The apparatus receives, from the first computing system, confirmation data indicative of the established consistency, and based on the confirmation data, transmit a request to execute the data exchange in accordance with at least the portion of the parameter values to a second computing system.
