[0127] According to some embodiments, the processor 830 may transmit the vehicle data to the service server 140 via the communication module 810. In some embodiments, the processor 830 may transmit the vehicle data to the service server 140 upon the occurrence of a predefined event. For example, the predefined event may include a determination that the energy management software included in the autonomous driving software stored in the memory 820 needs to be updated, a determination that vehicle data matching the energy management service provided by the service server 140 has been acquired, and / or a determination that the platform management server 130 has received a simulation execution request from the vehicle data management server 120. In some embodiments, the vehicle data determined to match the energy management service provided by the service server 140 may be vehicle type data, such as the type of the vehicle or one or more types of components or features of the vehicle.

[0128] When vehicle data matching an energy management service is obtained, the processor 830 may immediately send the vehicle data required by one or more energy management services to the service server 140. In some embodiments, the vehicle data required for analysis / processing in the energy management software of each energy management service may be different (for example, the vehicle data required for each of battery condition diagnosis, battery life prediction, and battery usage guidance may be different from each other).

[0129] According to some embodiments, the processor 830 may send an update request signal for the energy management software to the service server 140 via the communication module 810.

According to some embodiments, the processor 830 may update the autonomous driving software 821 stored in the memory 820 based on the update software.

[0131] According to some embodiments, the processor 830 may transmit the updated autonomous driving software or the second update software to the vehicle 110 and / or the vehicle data management server 120 through the communication module 810. Here, the second update software may be software for updating the autonomous driving software installed in the vehicle 110 to the same version as the autonomous driving software updated by the platform management server 130.

[0132] According to some embodiments, the processor 830 may transmit an energy management data request signal together with the vehicle data to the service server 140 through the communication module 810. Here, the energy management data request signal may be a signal requesting the service server 140 to execute energy management software based on the vehicle data and transmit energy management data (i.e., result data).

[0133] According to some embodiments, the processor 830 may execute a simulation based on the vehicle data received from the vehicle data management server 120 and the simulation software 823 stored in the memory 820. For example, the processor 830 may execute a simulation in response to a simulation execution request received from a terminal of an administrator of the vehicle data management server 120 (e.g., an autonomous driving software developer) or an administrator of the vehicle data management server 120.

[0134] According to some embodiments, the processor 830 may generate a virtual environment based on vehicle data. Here, the vehicle data may include data related to the location of the vehicle 110, data generated by sensor modules of the vehicle 110 (e.g., Figure 2a , and sensor data acquired by a sensor module 220 in the vehicle 110 (e.g., Figure 2a According to some embodiments, the processor 830 may utilize the acquired vehicle data and map data pre-stored in the memory 820 to generate a virtual environment reflecting the location and driving conditions of the vehicle 110.

[0135] Reference Figure 9a , the processor 830 can generate a virtual environment 920 based on the vehicle data 910 .

[0136] According to some embodiments, the vehicle data 910 may include information about the location and driving conditions of the vehicle 110. Here, the information about the driving conditions may include information about the speed and acceleration of the vehicle 110 and information about objects around the vehicle 110 acquired by the sensor module 220 and / or the camera module 230 of the vehicle 110.

[0137] According to some embodiments, the processor 830 may generate a virtual environment 920 corresponding to the vehicle data 910 by executing the simulation software 823. Here, the virtual environment 920 may represent the environment in which the virtual vehicle 900, generated based on the vehicle data 910, drives. According to some embodiments, the processor 830 may apply information related to the driving directions of the roads 922 and 923 on which the vehicle 110 is driving, based on the position data of the vehicle 110 included in the vehicle data 910, to the virtual environment 920. According to some embodiments, the processor 830 may apply information related to the driving directions of the roads 922 and 923 on which the vehicle 110 is driving and the conditions of the surrounding environments 921 and 924 to the virtual environment 920, based on the surrounding object data of the vehicle 110 included in the vehicle data 910. For example, if the vehicle to the right of the vehicle 110 in the vehicle data 910 is stopped, the processor 830 may set the surrounding environment 924 of the virtual environment 920 to an environment in which driving is impossible. As another example, if there is a vehicle traveling in the opposite direction of vehicle 110 on the left side of vehicle 110 in vehicle data 910, processor 830 may set the traveling direction of road 922 in virtual environment 920 to the opposite direction of the traveling direction of vehicle 110.

[0138] Reference Figure 9b , the processor 830 can generate a virtual environment 940 based on the vehicle data 930 .

[0139] According to some embodiments, the vehicle data 930 may include information about surrounding objects 931 and 932 of the vehicle 110. For example, the information about the surrounding objects 931 and 932 may be information acquired by a camera module of the vehicle 110.

[0140] According to some embodiments, the processor 830 may generate a virtual environment 940 including virtual objects 941, 942, 943, and 944 based on the simulation software 823. Here, the virtual environment 940 may represent an environment in which the virtual vehicle 900 is traveling, generated based on the vehicle data 930. For example, the processor 830 may generate virtual objects 941, 942, and 943 corresponding to the surrounding objects 931 and 932 at any location in the virtual environment 940 based on information related to the surrounding objects 931 and 932 acquired through the vehicle data 930. As another example, the processor 830 may generate an arbitrary virtual object 944 at any location in the virtual environment 940 based on the simulation software 823.

[0141] Refer again Figure 8 , the processor 830 can perform the autonomous driving simulation of the vehicle in the generated virtual environment. The processor 830 can perform the autonomous driving simulation of the vehicle in the virtual environment based on the autonomous driving software 821 stored in the memory 820.

[0142] Reference Figure 9c , the processor 830 can perform autonomous driving simulation of the virtual vehicle 900 through the generated virtual environments 950 and 960.

[0143] First, processor 830 can use the generated virtual environment 950 to perform an autonomous driving simulation of virtual vehicle 900. In virtual environment 950, a scenario can be simulated where virtual vehicle 900 travels along a first route R3 based on a virtual object 951 parked on the same road. In this scenario, virtual environment 950 simulates a situation where virtual vehicle 900 collides with a virtual object 952 traveling on a second route R4, with the direction of virtual object 952 being opposite to that of vehicle 900 on the left road. This is likely due to the fact that autonomous driving software 821 executed in processor 830 is in a trained state and only considers virtual objects traveling in the same direction as virtual vehicle 900.

[0144] According to some embodiments, the processor 830 can train the autonomous driving software 821 to prevent collisions based on simulation results in the virtual environment 950. For example, the processor 830 can train the autonomous driving software 821 to consider not only virtual objects traveling in the same direction as the virtual vehicle 900, but also virtual objects traveling in the opposite direction.

[0145] According to some embodiments, processor 830 can re-execute an autonomous driving simulation of virtual vehicle 900 using virtual environment 960 based on trained autonomous driving software 821. In virtual environment 960, a situation can be simulated in which virtual vehicle 900 stops until virtual object 962 passes by, taking into account both virtual object 961 parked on the same road and virtual object 962 traveling on the left road in the opposite direction from virtual vehicle 900, and then travels along third route R5. In this regard, autonomous driving software 821 can be updated through training.

[0146] Refer again Figure 8 The processor 830 may perform data processing. Prior to the above operations, the processor 830 may receive energy management data from the service server 140. Here, the energy management data may include result data obtained by the service server 140 executing energy management software based on vehicle data, which will be described in more detail herein.

[0147] According to some embodiments, the processor 830 may update the autonomous driving software 821 based on simulation data and / or energy management data collected by executing simulations. For example, the processor 830 may update the autonomous driving software 821 through training based on the simulation data. In addition, the platform management server 130 may update the energy management software included in the autonomous driving software 821 based on the energy management data.

[0148] According to some embodiments, the processor 830 may synthesize and / or pre-process the simulation data collected during the simulation and the received energy management data.

[0149] According to some embodiments, the processor 830 may transmit the final data generated by synthesis and / or pre-processing to the vehicle data management server 120 via the communication module 810 .

[0150] Refer again Figure 1 , the service server 140 can provide various energy management services based on the energy management software.

[0151] The following will refer to Figure 10 Detailed description Figure 1 service server 140.

[0152] Figure 10 is a block diagram schematically showing the configuration of the service server 140 . Figure 10 Can be used Figure 1 The configuration is described.

[0153] Reference Figure 10 , the service server 140 may include a communication module 1010, a memory 1020 and a processor 1030, Figure 10The service server 140 shown may also include Figure 10 At least one component other than those shown.

[0154] According to some embodiments, the communication module 1010 can establish a wired and / or wireless communication channel between the service server 140 and the vehicle data management server 120 and / or the platform management server 130, and send and receive data with the vehicle data management server 120 and / or the platform management server 130 through the established communication channel.

[0155] According to some embodiments, memory 1020 may include volatile memory and / or non-volatile memory.

[0156] According to some embodiments, the memory 1020 may include at least one storage unit capable of storing various data included in the vehicle data received by the communication module 1010 .

[0157] According to some embodiments, the memory 1020 may include a battery identification information storage unit capable of storing a vehicle model code, a vehicle identification code, a battery model code, and / or a battery identification code, etc. The type of information stored in the battery identification information storage unit may be added or changed.

[0158] According to some embodiments, the memory 1020 may include a driving data storage unit capable of storing driving data related to the driving of the vehicle 110. The area in the driving data storage unit storing the driving data may be allocated to each battery, with each battery being assigned a battery identification code. Here, the driving data may include a speed change curve and a cumulative driving distance curve for the vehicle 110. Furthermore, the driving data may also include data related to the vehicle's location, charger connection information, electrical device operation information, and the like. Furthermore, the driving data may include the cumulative driving time of the vehicle 110 in each speed segment, the cumulative driving time in each driving area, and / or the cumulative driving time in each humidity segment. The type of information stored in the driving data storage unit may be added or modified.

[0159] According to some embodiments, the memory 1020 may include a battery data storage unit capable of storing battery data related to the state of the battery. The area storing the battery data in the battery data storage unit may be allocated to each battery, and each battery may be assigned a battery identification code. Here, the battery data may include voltage, current, and / or temperature variation curves according to the state of charge of the battery. In addition, the battery data may include the cumulative operating time of each voltage segment of the battery, the cumulative operating time of each current segment, and / or the cumulative operating time of each temperature segment. The type of information stored in the battery data storage unit may be added or changed.

[0160] According to some embodiments, the memory 1020 may store energy management software 1021 that is executed by the processor 1030 .

[0161] According to some embodiments, the energy management software 1021 may operate in association with the simulation software 823. For example, if a call related to energy management data is received from the simulation software 823, the energy management software 1021 may provide the energy management data to the simulation software 823. According to some embodiments, the energy management software 1021 may provide various functions / services related to battery management.

[0162] According to some embodiments, the energy management software 1021 may diagnose the status of the battery based on driving data and / or battery data included in the vehicle data.

[0163] According to various embodiments, the energy management software 1021 may analyze the battery life based on the vehicle's driving data and / or battery data. For example, the energy management software 1021 may analyze the battery life by taking into account the battery's voltage, current, temperature, and / or state of charge included in the battery data. As another example, the energy management software 1021 may further analyze the battery life by further considering the vehicle's driving data (e.g., whether it is autonomous driving, speed, acceleration, braking, driving) and the battery data.

[0164] According to various embodiments, the energy management software 1021 can analyze the battery life based on regenerative braking information acquired from the vehicle's driving data. For example, the energy management software 1021 uses the vehicle speed included in the vehicle data and the state of charge / charge level included in the battery data to determine whether the battery charge level is increased by charging via a charger or by regenerative braking. That is, if the battery charge level increases while the vehicle's speed decreases, the energy management software 1021 can determine that the charging is occurring through regenerative braking. If the battery charge level increases while the vehicle's speed is zero, the energy management software 1021 can determine that the charging is occurring through a charger.

[0165] On the other hand, if the number of regenerative braking times of the vehicle increases, the number of times the battery is charged / discharged also increases, which may affect the life of the battery. The energy management software 1021 can improve the accuracy of the life analysis by analyzing the life of the battery while taking into account the number of regenerative braking times determined based on the vehicle data.

[0166] Additionally, the energy management software 1021 can analyze the battery lifespan based on driving mode information included in the vehicle data. Driving modes can include driver-directed driving mode and autonomous driving mode. Depending on various implementations, the number of regenerative braking cycles in driver-directed driving mode may be greater than in autonomous driving mode. Therefore, the energy management software 1021 can improve the accuracy of battery lifespan analysis by analyzing the battery lifespan while taking the vehicle's driving mode into account.

[0167] According to some embodiments, the energy management software 1021 may control the operation of the battery according to the driving condition of the vehicle. According to some embodiments, the energy management software 1021 may determine the driving condition based on the driving data of the vehicle (e.g., speed data, acceleration data, lateral acceleration data, wheel speed, distance from the front and rear vehicles, time to collision (TTC)). The energy management software 1021 may perform battery operation control corresponding to the determined driving condition of the vehicle. For example, if it is determined that the distance from the preceding vehicle is less than or equal to a predetermined distance or the TTC is less than or equal to a threshold value, the energy management software 1021 may control the exhaust operation of the battery in order to prevent a battery safety accident (e.g., fire and / or explosion). According to some embodiments, the energy management software 1021 may generate control data that enables a control system included in the vehicle (e.g., Figure 2a A BMS (e.g., Figure 2a The BMS271 in the controller controls the operation of the battery.

[0168] According to some embodiments, the energy management software 1021 may provide battery usage guidance based on the battery status.

[0169] According to some embodiments, the energy management software 1021 can provide driving guidance for the vehicle based on the state of the battery. For example, the energy management software 1021 can provide driving route guidance taking into account changes in the state of the battery (e.g., state of charge and / or state of health).

[0170] As another example, the energy management software 1021 can provide lateral and / or longitudinal guidance for the vehicle, taking into account the battery's state (e.g., state of charge and / or state of health). Lateral guidance for the vehicle can relate to distance control from lanes and / or distance control from vehicles to the left and right. Furthermore, longitudinal guidance for the vehicle can relate to distance control from vehicles ahead and behind.

[0171] According to some embodiments, the energy management software 1021 may provide guidance for controlling the operation of at least one module included in the vehicle based on the state of the battery.
