Authentication Methods for Battery Remediation in Connection with Electric Powered Mobile Thing (EPMT)
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- a computer system that dispatches battery remediation stations (BRSs), the computer system having one or more memories and one or more processors that execute computer program code that is stored in the one or more memories, the computer system having one or more transceivers that communicate data to and from the computer system; and
wherein the method comprises the steps of;
receiving, with the one or more transceivers, location information and electric power capacity (EPC) information pertaining to an electric powered mobile thing (EPMT);
determining that the EPMT should be recharged based at least in part upon the EPC information pertaining to the EPMT;
communicating, with the one or more transceivers, a recharge request so that a BRS is dispatched to the EPMT; and
communicating, with the one or more transceivers, verification information to the EPMT to enable authentication of the dispatched BRS, the EPMT, or both, when the BRS and the EPMT encounter each other.

Abstract
The present disclosure provides, among other things, various systems, methods, and apparatus for battery remediation in connection with electric powered mobile things (EPMTs). A representative method, among others, is implemented in a host computer system (H-CS) that is remote from the EPMTs and can be summarized by the following steps: receiving, with the one or more transceivers, location information pertaining to a plurality of the BRSs; monitoring availability of the plurality of the BRSs; receiving, with the one or more transceivers, a request from a requestor for a battery remediation in connection with an electric powered mobile thing (EPMT); communicating, with the one or more transceivers, an identification of a particular BRS of the plurality of BRSs to the requestor; and
communicating, with the one or more transceivers, verification information to the requestor that enables authentication of the particular BRS, the EPMT, or both, when the EPMT and the particular BRS encounter each other. A representative system, among others, comprises an H-CS that is programmed or designed to perform the foregoing steps.
