Patent Images
1. A system for facilitating strategic installation of charging ports for electric vehicles, the system comprising:
- a processing server configured to receive a first set of transaction information from a payment processing system, wherein the payment processing system is configured to receive the first set of transaction information from a point-of-sale (POS) device disposed at a charging location and associated with a first charging port at the charging location, the POS device being configured to extract payment card information from payment cards and to generate the first set of transaction information that includes the payment card information, wherein each payment card is capable of facilitating a transaction originating at the POS device, the processing server comprising;
a storage component, wherein the storage component contains (1) the first set of transaction information, and (2) a second set of transaction information, wherein the second set of transaction information comprises information associated with a second set of transactions completed using the payment cards, wherein each transaction of the second set of transactions originates at a location different from the first charging location;
an identification (ID) proxy component configured to develop ID proxies, wherein each of the ID proxies corresponds to one of the payment cards such that there is a one-to-one correspondence between the ID proxies and the payment cards;
a reference location component configured to determine reference locations, each corresponding to one of the ID proxies; and
a predictor configured to determine an output used to facilitate strategic installation of a second charging port, wherein the output is based on at least one of the first set of transaction information, the second set of transaction information, and the reference locations.

Abstract
Methods and systems facilitate strategic installation of charging ports for charging electric vehicles. Transaction information associated with financial transactions executed using payment cards is analyzed to determine identification (ID) proxies for consumers, charging locations, and reference locations. Predictors are used to determine outputs that facilitate strategic installation of charging ports.

8. A method for facilitating strategic installation of charging ports for electric vehicles, the method comprising:
-
identifying a first charging port at a charging location, wherein a point-of-sale (POS) device is disposed at the charging location and is associated with the first charging port, the POS device being configured to extract payment card information from payment cards and to generate a first set of transaction information that includes the payment card information, wherein each payment card is capable of facilitating a transaction originating at the POS device; referencing the first set of transaction information; developing identification (ID) proxies, wherein each of the ID proxies corresponds to one of the payment cards such that there is a one-to-one correspondence between the ID proxies and the payment cards; determining reference locations, each corresponding to one of the ID proxies; referencing a second set of transaction information, wherein the second set of transaction information comprises information associated with a second set of transactions completed using the payment cards, wherein each transaction of the second set of transactions originates at a location different from the charging location; generating, based on the reference locations and the second set of transaction information, a spending density map comprising indications, for each of the ID proxies, of spending behaviors in a geographic region; and determining, using the spending density map, a target location for installation of a second charging port. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
