Abstract
Techniques are described for controlling charging of an electric vehicle. According to one or more embodiments, a system is provided comprising a memory that stores computer executable components and a processor that executes the computer executable components stored in the memory, wherein the computer executable components comprise a signaling component located on an electric vehicle and configured to detect a presence of a portable device and a charge control component configured to, upon detection of the presence of the portable device, terminate charging of the electric vehicle.
Claims20
An electric vehicle, comprising:
- a memory that stores computer executable components;
- and
- a processor that executes at least one of the computer executable components that:
- detects, using a transceiver of the electric vehicle, presence of a portable device based on signals received from the portable device;
- determines position information of the portable device, wherein the position information comprises location data and motion data;
- and
- controls charging of the electric vehicle in response to a determination that the position information meets a defined criterion.
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- detecting, by a processor of an electric vehicle, using a transceiver of the electric vehicle, presence of a portable device based on signals received from the portable device;
- determining, by the processor, position information of the portable device, wherein the position information comprises location data and motion data;
- and
- controlling, by the processor, charging of the electric vehicle in response to a determination that the position information meets a defined criterion.
A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor of an electric vehicle to cause the processor to:
- detect, using a transceiver of the electric vehicle, presence of a portable device based on signals received from the portable device;
- determine position information of the portable device, wherein the position information comprises location data and motion data;
- and
- control charging of the electric vehicle in response to a determination that the position information meets a defined criterion.
