SELECTION OF BATTERY REMEDIATION TYPE AND/OR BATTERY REMEDIATION STATION BASED UPON AVAILABLE TIME PERIOD AT LOCATION
First Claim
1. A computer system that selects a battery remediation station (BRS) to perform battery remediation for an electric powered mobile thing (EPMT), the computer system comprising:
- one or more transceivers that communicate data to and from the computer system;
one or more memories;
one or more processors that execute computer program code that is stored in the one or more memories; and
wherein the computer program code comprises;
code that engages in an EPMT communication session, with the one or more transceivers, with a personal communication device (PCD) associated with a user of the EPMT or with an EPMT computer system associated with the EPMT;
code that receives, during the EPMT communication session, a battery remediation request, a location of the EPMT, and a time period that is available to accomplish battery remediation;
code that selects a type of battery remediation based at least in part upon the time period;
code that selects the BRS from a plurality of available BRSs based at least in part upon the selected type of battery remediation;
code that engages in a BRS communication session, with the one or more transceivers, with a PCD associated with a user of the selected BRS or with a BRS computer system associated with the selected BRS; and
code that communicates, during the BRS communication session, a request for use of the BRS by the EPMT and a battery remediation location, the battery remediation location being the EPMT location, the BRS location, or a different location.

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: engaging in an EPMT communication session, with one or more transceivers, with a personal communication device (PCD) associated with a user of the EPMT or with an EPMT computer system associated with the EPMT; receiving, during the EPMT communication session, a battery remediation request, a location of the EPMT, and a time period to accomplish battery remediation; selecting a type of battery remediation based at least in part upon the time period; selecting a BRS based at least in part upon the selected type of battery remediation; and engaging in a BRS communication session, with the one or more transceivers, with a PCD associated with a user of the selected BRS or with a BRS computer system associated with the selected BRS; and communicating, during the BRS communication session, a request for use of the BRS by the EPMT and a battery remediation location (the EPMT location, the BRS location, or a different location). A representative system, among others, comprises an H-CS that is programmed or designed to perform the foregoing steps.
