First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system for operating a hybrid vehicle comprising a computer programmed to:
- identify a location of a hybrid vehicle;
access a map and identify a plurality of links therein;
pre-screen the plurality of links to identify if any of the plurality of links is within a given bounds of the current location; and
if one or more possible links are identified, then;
match the current location of the hybrid vehicle to one of the identified links; and
upload power data for the hybrid vehicle corresponding to the matched location into a database.

Abstract
A system for operating a hybrid vehicle includes a computer programmed to identify a location of a hybrid vehicle, access a map and identify a plurality of links therein, pre-screen the plurality of links to identify if any of the plurality of links is within a given bounds of the current location, and if one or more possible links are identified, then match the current location of the hybrid vehicle to one of the identified links, and upload power data for the hybrid vehicle corresponding to the matched location into a database.

8. A method of controlling operation of a hybrid vehicle comprising:
-
identifying a current location of a hybrid vehicle; applying a pre-screening algorithm with respect to a link within a map and the current location; determining if the one or more links are within a given bounds, and, if so, then; matching the current location of the hybrid vehicle to the link within the map via a subsequential matching algorithm; and uploading power information used by the hybrid vehicle along the link and at the current location into a historical power-use database. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A computer readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon and representing a set of instructions that when executed by a computer causes the computer to:
-
measure a current location of a hybrid vehicle; execute a pre-screening algorithm to determine possible links of a map that are within a predetermined distance from the current location and; if one or more links are within the predetermined distance from the current location, then the computer is caused to; execute a map-matching algorithm to determine which of the one or more links corresponds to the actual link along which a hybrid vehicle is traveling; and upload power information related to the hybrid vehicle at the current location to a historical database. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
