On May 9, the China National Intellectual Property Administration’s official website released an updated patent from Xiaomi Automobile Technology Co., Ltd. The patent, “Battery Health Status Prediction Method and Device” (Application No: 202311491388.5), reveals an innovative method of managing batteries in electric cars. Based on the patent description, Xiaomi’s technology employs dual training data sets to improve the precision of battery health state estimations considerably. This innovative patent emerges when Xiaomi is rapidly growing in the electric vehicle space, after the launch of the Xiaomi SU7. For more information about Xiaomi’s intelligent ecosystem, you may also refer to our coverage of Xiaomi HyperConnect and other HyperOS breakthroughs on our home page.
What does the patent cover?
The technology, which is under patent, employs simulation-based computing to condition a battery health prediction model through two different data sets:
- Initial Training Dataset: Condition data acquired when the battery is in use.
- Second Training Dataset: Dataset that indicates the real-world health condition of the battery over time.
These data sets are utilized to construct two parameter models, which are incorporated into one predictive system. When real time battery data are fed into it, the system can more precisely estimate the battery’s health metrics.
Why Does Xiaomi’s Approach Differ
Prior to this innovation, battery health forecasting relied mostly on single-source data, which produced relatively low prediction accuracy. This dual-data strategy of Xiaomi’s is meant to eliminate this problem by:
- Cross-validation of real-time performance data with long-term degradation data
- More thorough training of the model to lessen prediction errors
- Facilitating more intelligent battery maintenance and replacement choices in Xiaomi EVs
This technique not only guarantees extended battery life but also maximizes energy efficiency for Xiaomi SU7 and future EV models.
Practical Application in Xiaomi’s EV Ecosystem
Under its HyperConnect initiative, Xiaomi is constantly building AI-powered systems that combine car-related software with car-grade hardware. This battery condition prediction model can also become an integral part of future HyperOS-powered car systems, which can provide users with an even more stable and intelligent driving experience.
For individuals who are willing to get into the more sophisticated features of the Xiaomi systems, there is the option to download the MemeOS Enhancer from the Play Store. It offers direct system application updates, over-the-screen firmware upgrade tools, and allowing them to unlock hidden features of the devices.
