SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR BATTERY REMEDIATION IN CONNECTION WITH AN ELECTRIC POWERED MOBIEL THING (EPMT)
First Claim
1. A method for a computer based system, comprising the steps of:
- monitoring travel data associated with one or more BRSs;
engaging in an EPMT communication session with a party or a computer system associated with an EPMT;
receiving an EPMT battery remediation request relating to the EPMT during the communication session;
engaging in a BRS communication session with a party or computer system associated with the BRS; and
communicating a BRS battery remediation request to the BRS during the BRS communication session.

Abstract
The present disclosure provides, among other things, various systems and methods for battery remediation in connection with electric powered mobile things (EPMTs). A representative method, among others, can be summarized by the following steps: monitoring electric power capacity (EPC) associated with locomotion of the EPMT; monitoring travel data relating to the EPMT; engaging in a communication session with a remote host computer system (H-CS) based upon the EPC monitoring; requesting assistance of a battery remediation station (BRS) during the communication session; communicating location information relating to the EPMT during the communication session so that the BRS can visit and remediate (recharge, repair, or replace) a battery associated with the EPMT. Upon receiving this information, the H-CS can contact and dispatch the BRS to visit the EPMT. A representative system, among others, comprises an EPMT-CS that is programmed or designed to perform the foregoing steps.
