Monitoring Electric Power Capacity (EPC) and Requesting Battery Remediation for Electric Power Mobile Thing (EPMT)
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- a computer system associated with an electric powered mobile thing (EPMT), 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;
monitoring electric power capacity (EPC) associated with locomotion of the EPMT;
monitoring location or travel data relating to the EPMT;
engaging in a communication session with the one or more transceivers with a remote computer system based at least in part upon the EPC monitoring;
requesting assistance of a battery remediation station (BRS) during the communication session; and
communicating location information relating to the EPMT during the communication session so that the BRS can visit and remediate a battery associated with the EPMT.

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, is implemented in a computer system (EPMT-CS) associated with the EPMT and 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.

27. A computer system associated with an electric powered mobile thing (EPMT), comprising:
-
one or more memories; one or more processors that execute computer program code that is stored in the one or more memories; one or more transceivers that communicate data to and from the computer system; and wherein the computer program code comprises; code that monitors electric power capacity (EPC) associated with locomotion of the EPMT; code that monitors location or travel data relating to the EPMT; code that engages in a communication session with the one or more transceivers with a remote computer system based at least in part upon the EPC monitoring; code that requests assistance of a battery remediation station (BRS) during the communication session; and code that communicates location information relating to the EPMT during the communication session so that the BRS can visit and remediate a battery associated with the EPMT.
