Application: Sharing system (Patent ID: US20230415605A1)
The patent filed by Honda Motor Co Ltd describes a sharing system with multiple electric mobile bodies powered by batteries shared among users. The system includes a management server that, upon a user's request to use an electric mobile body, acquires information about the user's battery capacity or maximum output power, and provides the user with details of an available electric mobile body based on this information. The system is designed to efficiently manage the renting and returning of electric moving bodies, ensuring users are matched with suitable options based on their battery capacity or power requirements.
Additionally, the sharing system encompasses various types of electric moving bodies such as bicycles, scooters, wheelchairs, carts, and robots. The system also involves the use of main body batteries installed on the electric moving bodies by the system operator, with the management server monitoring the residual battery levels of these main batteries and the user's battery to determine the most suitable electric mobile body for the user. Furthermore, the system can estimate the amount of electrical power usage based on user-provided information such as location and time, allowing for the extraction of electric moving body information that aligns with the user's needs. Overall, the patent outlines a sophisticated sharing system that optimizes the user experience by matching users with electric mobile bodies based on their specific battery requirements and usage conditions.
