METHODS, DEVICES, AND SYSTEMS FOR HOME BASED ELECTRIC VEHICLE (EV) CHARGING
Methods, devices, and systems are disclosed for home based electric vehicle (EV) charging. According to one embodiment, a method is implemented on at least one computing device. The method includes determining a plurality of media items for simultaneous viewing on a user interface (UI) associated with a home-based EV charger. The method further includes transmitting the plurality of media items to the UI associated with the home-based EV charger.
1 . A method implemented on at least one computing device, the method comprising:
determining a plurality of media items for simultaneous viewing on a user interface (UI) associated with a home-based EV charger; and
transmitting the plurality of media items to the UI associated with the home-based EV charger.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein each media item of the plurality of media items is associated with a distinct sponsor.
3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein a first media item of the plurality of media items is a background for the UI associated with the home-based EV charger.
4 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the background is branded by a first sponsor.
5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein a second media item of the plurality of media items is a widget for the UI associated with the home-based EV charger.
6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the widget is branded by a second sponsor.
7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the widget is a clock based widget.
8 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the widget is a calendar based widget.
9 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the widget is a weather based widget.
10 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the widget is a countdown based widget.
11 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the countdown based widget is associated with a remaining charge time of an EV being charged by the home-based EV charger.
12 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the widget is associated with a ranking of EV energy use associated with a user as compared with a plurality of other users.
13 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the widget is associated with a carbon footprint of a user.
14 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the UI is a touchpad display physically coupled with the home-based EV charger.
15 . The method of claim 14 further comprising receiving a timestamp and a media identification associated with an interaction with a media item on the touchpad display.
16 . The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the plurality of media items for simultaneous viewing is based on user survey information.
17 . The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the plurality of media items for simultaneous viewing is based on user social networking information.
18 . The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the plurality of media items for simultaneous viewing is based on user purchasing information.
19 . A computing device comprising:
a memory; and
at least one processor configured for:
determining a plurality of media items for simultaneous viewing on a user interface (UI) associated with a home-based EV charger; and
transmitting the plurality of media items to the UI associated with the home-based EV charger.
20 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, the non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions to be implemented on at least one computing device including at least one processor, the instructions when executed by the at least one processor cause the at least one computing device to perform a method, the method comprising:
determining a plurality of media items for simultaneous viewing on a user interface (UI) associated with a home-based EV charger; and
transmitting the plurality of media items to the UI associated with the home-based EV charger.
