Abstract

Systems and methods for providing a personalized SOC are provided. In one embodiment, a system may include a recognition module, a schedule module, a charge state module, and a charging module. The recognition module is configured to identify a vehicle to receive a charge from a charging station. The schedule module is configured to determine a parked period when the vehicle will be present at the charging station based on a schedule. The charge state module is configured to calculate the personalized SOC based on the parked period. The charge rate defines a charge period that is an amount of time that the charging station will provide charge to the vehicle. The personalized SOC is calculated to reduce a time difference between the parked period and the charge period. The charging module is configured to set the personalized SOC.

Claims (38)

1. A system for providing a personalized state of charge (SOC), the system comprising:

a recognition module configured to identify a vehicle to receive a charge, wherein charging parameters are associated with the vehicle receiving the charge from a charging station;

a schedule module configured to determine a parked period when the vehicle will be present at the charging station based on a schedule associated with the vehicle;

a charge state module configured to calculate the personalized SOC based on the charging parameters and the parked period, wherein the personalized SOC defines a charge period that is an amount of time that the charging station will provide the charge to the vehicle to increase a charge level of the vehicle to the personalized SOC, and wherein the personalized SOC is calculated to reduce a time difference between the parked period and the charge period; and

a charging module configured to set the personalized SOC for the charging station.

2. The system for providing the personalized SOC of claim 1 , wherein the charging parameters include a charging speed for the charging station to deliver energy to the vehicle.

3. The system for providing the personalized SOC of claim 1 , wherein the recognition module identifies the vehicle based on an electrical connection between the vehicle and the charging station.

4. The system for providing the personalized SOC of claim 1 , wherein the recognition module identifies the vehicle based on image data received from the charging station.

5. The system for providing the personalized SOC of claim 1 , wherein the parked period is based on historical data associated with the vehicle.

6. The system for providing the personalized SOC of claim 1 , wherein the parked period is input from a user of the vehicle.

7. The system for providing the personalized SOC of claim 1 , wherein the schedule module is configured to receive an updated schedule and determine a revised parked period; and wherein the charge state module calculates an adjusted SOC based on the charging parameters and the revised parked period.

8. The system for providing the personalized SOC of claim 7 , wherein the updated schedule is received from a portable device.

9. A method for providing a personalized state of charge (SOC), the method comprising:

identifying a vehicle to receive a charge, wherein charging parameters are associated with the vehicle receiving the charge from a charging station;

determining a parked period when the vehicle will be present at the charging station based on a schedule associated with the vehicle;

calculating the personalized SOC based on the charging parameters and the parked period, wherein the personalized SOC defines a charge period that is an amount of time that the charging station will provide the charge to the vehicle to increase a charge level of the vehicle to the personalized SOC, and wherein the personalized SOC is calculated to reduce a time difference between the parked period and the charge period; and

setting the personalized SOC.

10. The method for providing the personalized SOC of claim 9 , wherein the charging parameters include a charging speed for the charging station to deliver energy to the vehicle.

11. The method for providing the personalized SOC of claim 9 , wherein the vehicle is identified based on an electrical connection between the vehicle and the charging station.

12. The method for providing the personalized SOC of claim 9 , wherein the parked period is based on historical data associated with the vehicle.

13. The method for providing the personalized SOC of claim 9 , wherein the parked period is input from a user of the vehicle.

14. The method for providing the personalized SOC of claim 9 , further comprising:

receiving an updated schedule;

determining a revised parked period; and

calculating an adjusted SOC based on the charging parameters and the revised parked period.

15. The method for providing the personalized SOC of claim 14 , wherein the updated schedule is received from a portable device.

16. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions that when executed by a computer, which includes a processor to perform a method for providing an personalized state of charge (SOC), the method comprising:

identifying a vehicle to receive a charge, wherein charging parameters are associated with the vehicle receiving the charge from a charging station;

determining a parked period when the vehicle will be present at the charging station based on a schedule associated with the vehicle;

calculating the personalized SOC based on the charging parameters and the parked period, wherein the personalized SOC defines a charge period that is an amount of time that the charging station will provide the charge to the vehicle to increase a charge level of the vehicle to the personalized SOC, and wherein the personalized SOC is calculated to reduce a time difference between the parked period and the charge period; and

setting the personalized SOC.

17. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the charging parameters include a charging speed for the charging station to deliver energy to the vehicle.

18. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the parked period is based on historical data associated with the vehicle.

19. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 16 , further comprising:

receiving an updated schedule;

determining a revised parked period; and

calculating an adjusted SOC based on the charging parameters and the revised parked period.

20. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 19 , wherein the updated schedule is received from a portable device.
