Jun 16, 2008
Appl. No.:

12/139574
Inventors:

Ronald Ambrosio - Poughquag NY, US
Erica Haefner Ferro - Boulder CO, US
James Lee Hafner - San Jose CA, US
Colin George Harrison - Brookfield CT, US
Melissa Wiltsey O'Mara - Tully NY, US
Allan James Schurr - Castle Rock CO, US
Mark William Trekell - Aurora CO, US
Paul Stuart Williamson - Round Rock TX, US
Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY
International Classification:

H02J 7/00
G01R 11/56
US Classification:

705412, 705 30, 705 17, 705 1438, 320109
Abstract:

Illustrative embodiments manage an electric vehicle charging transaction. A set of principals associated with the electric vehicle charging transaction is identified. Electric vehicle charging information is retrieved from a set of sources. An energy transaction plan is generated using the electric vehicle charging information. A charging phase of the electric vehicle charging transaction is initiated for an electric vehicle connected to a charging station in accordance with the energy transaction plan. The charging phase comprises at least one of charging the electric vehicle with electricity, storing electricity in an electric storage mechanism associated with the electric vehicle, and removing electricity from the electric storage mechanism to de-charge the electric vehicle. In response to completion of the charging phase, the process then settles the financial obligations of a subset of principals in accordance with the energy transaction plan.

US Patent:

20090313034, Dec 17, 2009
Filed:

Jun 16, 2008
Appl. No.:

12/139569
Inventors:

Erica Haefner Ferro - Boulder CO, US
James Lee Hafner - San Jose CA, US
Melissa Wiltsey O'Mara - Tully NY, US
Paul Stuart Williamson - Round Rock TX, US
Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY
International Classification:

G06Q 50/00
US Classification:

705 1
Abstract:

A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer program product for generating a dynamic energy transaction plan to manage an electric vehicle charging transaction. The dynamic energy transaction planner generates a dynamic energy transaction plan based on the charging transaction information. The dynamic energy transaction plan comprises a first set of terms of the charging transaction. An initial portion of the charging transaction is controlled according to the first set of terms of the dynamic energy transaction plan. The dynamic energy transaction planner receives updated charging transaction information during execution of the charging transaction; and updates the dynamic energy transaction plan based on the updated charging transaction information to form an updated dynamic energy transaction plan. The updated dynamic energy transaction plan comprises a second set of terms. A second portion of the charging transaction is implemented according to the second set of terms in the updated dynamic energy transaction plan.

US Patent:

20100049396, Feb 25, 2010
Filed:

Aug 19, 2008
Appl. No.:

12/194325
Inventors:

Erica Haefner Ferro - Boulder CO, US
Mark William Trekell - Aurora CO, US
Paul Stuart Williamson - Round Rock TX, US
Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY
International Classification:

G06F 17/00
US Classification:

701 33
Abstract:

A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable program code for managing a charging process of an electric vehicle. The process begins by monitoring a set of operational parameters of the charging process for one or more interruptions in response to receiving, from an energy transaction execution engine, a request signaling the start of the charging process. The process then detects the one or more interruptions from the set of operational parameters, which conform to a set of predefined interrupt conditions. In one embodiment, the one or more interruptions include at least one of a device capability interruption, a preference interruption, and a data services interruption. The process sends a response to the energy transaction execution engine to terminate the charging transaction in response to detecting the one or more interruptions.

US Patent:

20100049533, Feb 25, 2010
Filed:

Aug 19, 2008
Appl. No.:

12/194245
Inventors:

Erica Haefner Ferro - Boulder CO, US
Colin George Harrison - Brookfield CT, US
Mark William Trekell - Aurora CO, US
Paul Stuart Williamson - Round Rock TX, US
Assignee:

INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION - Armonk NY
International Classification:

G06Q 50/00
US Classification:

705 1
Abstract:

A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable program code for managing a charging process of an electric vehicle. In one embodiment, the process initiates the charging process of the electric vehicle at a charging station in response to receiving an energy transaction plan from an energy transaction planner. The process then terminates the charging process in response to at least one of a deviation of the charging process from the energy transaction plan and a completion of the charging process according to the energy transaction plan. Thereafter, the process sends a charge notification to a set of recipients that includes a user of the electric vehicle and an energy transaction broker.

Energy Transaction Broker For Brokering Electric Vehicle Charging Transactions

US Patent:

20100049639, Feb 25, 2010
Filed:

Aug 19, 2008
Appl. No.:

12/194290
Inventors:

Erica Haefner Ferro - Boulder CO, US
Allan James Schurr - Castle Rock CO, US
Mark William Trekell - Aurora CO, US
Paul Stuart Williamson - Round Rock TX, US
Assignee:

INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION - Armonk NY
International Classification:

G06Q 20/00
G06Q 10/00
G06Q 50/00
US Classification:

705 34, 705 40
Abstract:

A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable program code for brokering a charging process of an electric vehicle. In one embodiment, a process extracts event data associated with the charging process from a charge notification in response to receiving the charge notification indicating that the charging process of the electric vehicle is complete. The event data may include, but is not limited to, duration of the charging process, quantity of electricity transferred, or rate at which electricity was transferred during the charging process. The process then identifies, from an energy transaction plan, a set of payees participating in the charging process. Thereafter, the process disburses a payment owed to the set of payees. An amount of the payment is calculated using payment terms in profiles of the set of payees. The payment includes funds from at least one of a payer fund and an incentive fund.

International Classification:

G06Q 30/06
G06Q 30/02
US Classification:

705 1423, 705 39
Abstract:

According to one embodiment of the present invention, a computer manages an electric vehicle charging transaction. A set of principals is identified associated with the charging transaction for an electric vehicle. A principal is an entity having an interest in the charging transaction. Electric vehicle charging information is retrieved from a set of sources. An energy transaction plan is generated during a pre-charge phase using the electric vehicle charging information and based on preferences of one or more principals to govern the charging transaction. The computer initiates a charging phase of the charging transaction for an electric vehicle connected to a charging station according to the energy transaction plan. The charging phase comprises charging the electric vehicle with electricity, storing electricity in the electric vehicle, and removing electricity to de-charge the electric vehicle. The computer settles financial obligations among principals according to the energy transaction plan.
