That is, the user can clearly understand the impact on the subsequent journey when the vehicle is discharging externally, ensuring that the vehicle can continue to complete the pre-planned journey, thereby effectively improving the user experience of using the vehicle's external discharge function.

[0058] Figure 8 The structure of an embodiment of the vehicle discharge management implementation device provided by the present invention is shown. Detailed Implementation

[0059] Exemplary embodiments of the invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein.

[0060] Figure 1 The flowchart of a first embodiment of the vehicle discharge management method of the present invention is shown, the method being executed by a vehicle. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0061] Step 110: When a vehicle discharge command is received, obtain vehicle status information;

[0062] During operation, if the vehicle receives a vehicle discharge command set by the user, the vehicle will respond to the discharge command to obtain the vehicle status information at the current moment.

[0063] It should be noted that, as a feasible implementation method, vehicle users can independently set real-time or timed vehicle discharge commands through a mobile terminal connected to the vehicle or through the human-machine interface provided by the vehicle itself.

[0064] Step 120: Calculate the maximum discharge capacity based on the vehicle status information;

[0065] After obtaining the current status information, the vehicle immediately determines the maximum discharge capacity it can release at that moment. The maximum discharge capacity can be calculated by estimating the required electricity consumption based on the current travel plan, then subtracting the estimated consumption from the current electricity level to determine the maximum discharge capacity. Other methods are also available and are not limited here.

[0066] Step 130: Output a first prompt message containing the maximum discharge capacity, so that the user can set the discharge settings information according to the maximum discharge capacity;

[0067] The vehicle generates a first prompt message by encapsulating the calculated maximum discharge capacity, and then displays this first prompt message to the vehicle's user.

[0068] For example, a vehicle user can set a timed vehicle discharge command via a mobile app installed on a mobile terminal that has a pre-established communication connection with the vehicle. Upon receiving the discharge command and detecting that the user-set time has arrived, the vehicle immediately responds by calculating the maximum discharge capacity it can release based on the remaining battery power and / or the remaining fuel in the fuel tank. The vehicle then displays a first notification to the user, including this maximum discharge capacity, via the mobile app.

[0069] In addition, as a feasible implementation method, the vehicle can output voice or text prompts containing the maximum discharge capacity to the user through a mobile APP installed on the mobile terminal, so as to prompt the user with the maximum discharge capacity.

[0070] Step 120: Obtain the discharge setting information; the discharge setting information includes the target discharge capacity;

[0071] After the vehicle displays the determined maximum discharge capacity to the user, it can then receive the user's operation to perform discharge settings based on the maximum discharge capacity, thereby generating corresponding discharge setting information. Furthermore, the vehicle can confirm whether the target discharge capacity set by the user in the discharge setting information exceeds the maximum discharge capacity.

[0072] For example, after the vehicle displays the maximum discharge capacity to the user via a mobile app installed on the user's mobile terminal, the user can then perform specific discharge settings based on this prompt to select a target discharge capacity for the vehicle to discharge at the current moment, thereby generating discharge setting information containing the target discharge capacity. Subsequently, when the vehicle parses this discharge setting information to obtain the user-set target discharge capacity, it immediately checks whether the target discharge capacity is greater than the maximum discharge capacity pre-calculated based on the vehicle's current state information.

[0073] Step 130: If the target discharge capacity exceeds the maximum discharge capacity, then determine the first influence parameter of the target discharge capacity on the subsequent journey of the vehicle;

[0074] Specifically, when the vehicle detects that the target discharge charge set by the user exceeds the maximum discharge charge determined in advance based on the vehicle's status information, the vehicle calculates and determines the target discharge charge based on the vehicle's driving parameters at the current moment, taking into account the first influence parameter of the vehicle's subsequent journey set in advance by the user.

[0075] It should be noted that, as a feasible implementation method, the vehicle's driving parameters include, but are not limited to: the distance between the vehicle's current location and the user-preset destination of the vehicle's subsequent journey, the user's driving habits (accelerator pedal opening, air conditioning settings, energy recovery level settings), the ambient temperature of the vehicle's environment, and the vehicle's actual average energy consumption over the past 10km.

[0076] For example, the vehicle detects the difference between the target discharge capacity set by the user based on the prompt and the maximum discharge capacity calculated in advance based on the vehicle's current status information. When the target discharge capacity is detected to exceed the maximum discharge capacity, the vehicle calculates the first impact parameter of the target discharge capacity on the vehicle's subsequent journey based on parameters such as the distance between the vehicle's current location and the destination of the vehicle's subsequent journey planned by the user in advance through functions such as the mobile APP trip assistant and trip management, the user's driving habits (such as: accelerator opening, air conditioning settings, energy recovery level settings), the ambient temperature of the vehicle's environment, and the vehicle's actual average power consumption over the past 10km.

[0077] Step 140: Output a second prompt message containing the first influence parameter so that the user can give instructions based on the influence parameter.

[0078] In this process, after calculating the first impact parameter of the target discharge capacity set by the vehicle user on the vehicle's subsequent journey, the vehicle also provides a prompt to the user regarding this first impact parameter, thereby receiving confirmation instructions from the user regarding actions performed based on this first impact parameter.

[0079] Furthermore, as a feasible implementation method, after the vehicle provides prompts to the user regarding the aforementioned influencing parameters, the user can also perform operations on these parameters to provide feedback to the vehicle with an instruction to reset the discharge capacity. In this way, after receiving the user's instruction to reset the discharge capacity, the vehicle immediately receives the new target discharge capacity set by the user, and, upon further confirming that the new target discharge capacity is less than the aforementioned maximum discharge capacity, immediately discharges the vehicle according to the new target discharge capacity.

[0080] In this embodiment, the vehicle responds to a user-initiated vehicle discharge command to determine the maximum discharge capacity based on the vehicle's status information, and then displays this maximum discharge capacity to the user. This allows the acquisition of discharge setting information generated by the user based on the maximum discharge capacity. Next, it is confirmed whether the target discharge capacity set by the user in the discharge setting information exceeds the maximum discharge capacity. Finally, if it is determined that the target discharge capacity exceeds the maximum discharge capacity, the impact parameters that the vehicle will experience at this target discharge capacity on the vehicle's subsequent development are determined based on the vehicle's driving parameters. These impact parameters are then displayed to the user, and discharge is performed based on the user's confirmation of the impact parameters.

[0081] Thus, the vehicle discharge management method proposed in this invention can assess the impact of the current external discharge on the vehicle's subsequent journey based on the discharge amount set by the user when the vehicle is discharging externally. Then, based on the user's feedback on understanding the impact, the external discharge is performed. That is, the user can clearly understand the impact on the subsequent journey when the vehicle is discharging externally, ensuring that the vehicle can continue to complete the pre-planned journey, thereby effectively improving the user experience of using the vehicle's external discharge function.

[0082] Furthermore, based on the first embodiment of the vehicle discharge management method of the present invention, a second embodiment of the vehicle discharge management method of the present invention is proposed.

[0083] Figure 2 The flowchart of a second embodiment of the vehicle discharge management method of the present invention is shown, which is also executed by a vehicle. Figure 2As shown, in the second embodiment of the vehicle discharge management method of the present invention, after the above-mentioned step of "outputting second prompt information including the first influencing parameter", the method further includes the following steps:

[0084] Step A: If a discharge confirmation command is received, control the vehicle to discharge according to the discharge confirmation command;

[0085] Once the vehicle receives the user's confirmation discharge command in response to the second prompt message, it immediately responds to the command and discharges to the outside according to the target discharge amount set by the user.

[0086] Step B: During the vehicle's discharge process, determine a second parameter affecting the vehicle's subsequent travel distance;

[0087] During the process of discharging the vehicle according to the target discharge amount set by the user, the vehicle continuously reads the current driving parameters to calculate whether the discharged amount already released at that moment will affect the subsequent journey preset by the user. Therefore, when the vehicle determines that the discharged amount already released will affect the subsequent journey, it determines a second impact parameter on the subsequent journey of the discharged amount.

[0088] Step C: Output a third prompt message containing the second influence parameter, so that the user can determine whether to continue discharging based on the second influence parameter.

[0089] After determining the second impact parameter of the current discharge charge on the vehicle's subsequent journey, the vehicle will also output a prompt to the user based on the second impact parameter of the discharged charge on the vehicle's subsequent journey, so that the user can determine whether to continue to control the vehicle to discharge to the outside based on the second impact parameter.

[0090] Alternatively, in another feasible embodiment, if the vehicle determines through calculation that the discharged electricity currently released does not affect the vehicle's subsequent journey, then the vehicle does not need to issue a warning.

[0091] For example, during the process of discharging the vehicle to the outside according to the target discharge amount mentioned above, the vehicle continuously detects the amount of discharge that has been released at the current moment. Then, based on the distance between the vehicle's current location and the destination of the vehicle's subsequent journey planned by the vehicle user through functions such as the mobile APP trip assistant and trip management, the vehicle user's driving habits (such as: accelerator pedal opening, air conditioning settings, energy recovery level settings), the ambient temperature of the vehicle's environment, and the vehicle's actual average power consumption over the past 10km, the vehicle calculates and determines whether the discharged amount has any impact on the vehicle's subsequent journey. That is, it determines whether the remaining power is sufficient to reach the destination of the vehicle's subsequent journey after the vehicle has discharged the discharged amount.

[0092] Optionally, in one feasible embodiment, the vehicle discharge management method of the present invention may further include:

[0093] The system receives a command from the user to stop discharging during the process of discharging to the outside.

[0094] During the process of the vehicle discharging to the outside according to the target discharge amount set by the user, after outputting the parameters of the impact of the discharged amount on the vehicle's subsequent journey to the user, the system continuously monitors whether it receives a stop discharge command actively triggered by the user during the process.

[0095] For example, after receiving the parameters of the impact of the discharged battery level on the vehicle's subsequent journey from the vehicle's output prompt through the vehicle's human-machine interface or a mobile terminal connected to the vehicle, the user can actively trigger a stop discharge command to control the vehicle to stop discharging externally. In this way, the vehicle can receive the stop discharge command.

[0096] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, in one feasible embodiment, after the above-described step of "controlling the vehicle to discharge according to the confirmed discharge command", the vehicle discharge management method of the present invention may further include:

[0097] Step D: Based on the current discharge charge of the vehicle, determine at least one travel plan information to reach the destination of the subsequent journey;

[0098] Step E: Output the itinerary plan information.

[0099] When a vehicle calculates and determines that the discharged electricity it has already released will affect its subsequent journey, in addition to providing the user with information on the impact of the discharged electricity on the subsequent journey, it also simultaneously or asynchronously calculates and determines at least one journey plan information for the vehicle to reach the destination set by the user for the subsequent journey. Furthermore, it displays and recommends this journey plan information to the user through the vehicle's own human-machine interface or a mobile terminal connected to the vehicle.

[0100] Optionally, such as Figure 4A As shown, in one feasible embodiment, step D above may specifically include:

[0101] Step D1: Obtain the current location information of the vehicle, the destination location information, and the current discharge charge;

[0102] Step D2: Determine the driving time after discharge based on the current discharge charge;

[0103] Step D3: Develop at least one driving route based on the current location information and the destination location information;

[0104] Step D4: If the travel time of the driving route matches the travel time after discharge, then the driving route is configured as the travel plan information.

[0105] It should be noted that, as a feasible implementation method, the distance information between the vehicle's current location and the destination of the vehicle's subsequent journey includes, but is not limited to, the availability of charging stations and road conditions (such as congestion, slopes, etc.).

[0106] In this process, after calculating and determining, based on the vehicle's current driving parameters, that the vehicle's remaining charge is insufficient to reach the destination of its subsequent journey (i.e., the discharged charge affects the user's pre-set travel plan), the system further recommends the shortest travel route to the destination based on the planned time for the vehicle to reach the destination, taking into account factors such as the availability of charging stations and road conditions (congestion, inclines, etc.). This recommendation is made available to the user, aiming to minimize the difference between the actual time the user reaches the destination and the planned travel time.

[0107] That is, the vehicle obtains the current discharged charge amount at the current moment to determine the remaining driving time after discharging the discharged charge. Furthermore, the vehicle also obtains its current location information and the destination location information of the user-planned subsequent journey. Based on this current location information and the destination location information, combined with real-time map and / or offline map data, the vehicle formulates at least one route from the current location to the destination location.

[0108] Then, the vehicle checks whether the travel time required to reach the destination location along the specified route matches the post-discharge travel time. If the vehicle detects that the travel time matches the post-discharge travel time, it immediately determines the travel plan information for the current vehicle to reach the destination of the aforementioned subsequent journey.

[0109] It should be noted that, as a feasible implementation method, matching the driving time of the route with the driving time after discharge may include, but is not limited to: the case where the vehicle can successfully reach the destination of the aforementioned subsequent journey without replenishing its power, and the case where the vehicle replenishes its power along the aforementioned route to improve its range before reaching the destination.

[0110] Optionally, such as Figure 4B As shown, in another feasible embodiment, step D2 above: determining the driving time after discharge based on the current discharge capacity, may specifically include:

[0111] Step D201: Determine the amount of electricity that can be saved by the vehicle performing a preset energy-saving operation;

[0112] It should be noted that, as a feasible implementation method, the preset energy-saving operations include, but are not limited to, turning off the air conditioner, adjusting the energy recovery level, and optimizing driving behavior.

[0113] After detecting the vehicle's remaining battery power in the aforementioned travel plan information, the system further detects the amount of battery power that can be saved by turning off the air conditioning, adjusting the energy recovery level, and optimizing driving behavior.

[0114] Step D202: Based on the current discharge capacity and the power that can be saved, determine the driving time after the energy-saving operation;

[0115] In this process, after the vehicle detects and determines the amount of electricity that can be saved by turning off the air conditioner, adjusting the energy recovery level, and optimizing driving behavior, it further combines the current discharge amount and the amount of electricity that can be saved to determine the vehicle's driving time after continuing to drive in an energy-saving manner by turning off the air conditioner, adjusting the energy recovery level, and optimizing driving behavior.

[0116] Step D203: Output a fourth prompt message including the preset energy-saving operation and the driving time after the energy-saving operation, so that the user can determine whether to perform the preset energy-saving operation;

[0117] The vehicle displays the remaining driving time after the aforementioned energy-saving operation as a fourth prompt to the user through the user's graphical interface and / or the terminal device associated with the vehicle. This prompt allows the user to determine whether to control the vehicle to perform actions such as turning off the air conditioner, adjusting the energy recovery level, and optimizing driving behavior at the current moment.

[0118] Step D204: If the preset energy-saving operation execution instruction is received, the driving time after the energy-saving operation is configured as the driving time after discharge.

[0119] After the vehicle outputs and displays the aforementioned fourth prompt information, it immediately and continuously detects whether it receives an execution command for one or more energy-saving operations triggered by the user's selection based on the aforementioned fourth prompt information. When the vehicle receives the execution command, it further uses the driving time after the aforementioned energy-saving operation as the driving time after the vehicle continues to drive using the remaining battery power.

[0120] Optionally, such as Figure 4C As shown, in another feasible embodiment, after step D3 above: determining at least one driving route based on the current location information and the destination location information, the vehicle discharge management method of the present invention may further include:

[0121] Step D5: Determine the travel time of the route;

[0122] Step D6: If the driving route includes a charging station, then determine the charging time based on the current discharge capacity and the driving time;

[0123] Step D7: Configure the driving time based on the charging time and the driving duration, and determine whether the driving time matches the driving time after discharge.

[0124] In this process, after the vehicle formulates a driving route from its current location to its destination location, it further detects the driving time required to reach the destination location along the route. Then, if the route includes one or more charging stations, the vehicle determines the charging time to replenish its energy at one or more target charging stations based on its current discharge capacity and the driving time. Finally, the vehicle can configure a driving time based on the combination of the charging time and the driving time of the route, and immediately determine whether the driving time matches the driving time after discharge.

[0125] In this embodiment, the vehicle can recommend the shortest possible travel time to the destination based on the user's original planned arrival time for the next leg of the journey, taking into account factors such as the availability of charging stations and road conditions (congestion, inclines, etc.). This aims to minimize the time difference between the user's current arrival time and the original plan. Furthermore, while recommending routes, if the vehicle detects that energy-saving operations such as turning off the air conditioning, adjusting the energy recovery level, and optimizing driving behavior can eliminate the need for recharging, this information is also simultaneously pushed to the user for selection.

[0126] In addition, during the trip recommendation process, the vehicle also supports users to dynamically adjust the driving range by turning on and off the air conditioning and other devices, and updates the corresponding trip recommendations; and provides guidance on user driving style, or actively takes over through intelligent driving to reduce power consumption.

[0127] Furthermore, based on the first and / or second embodiments of the vehicle discharge management method of the present invention, a third embodiment of the vehicle discharge management method of the present invention is proposed.

[0128] Figure 5 The flowchart of a third embodiment of the vehicle discharge management method of the present invention is shown, which is also executed by a vehicle. Figure 5 As shown, in the third embodiment of the vehicle discharge management method of the present invention, after the step of outputting the trip plan information, the vehicle discharge management method of the present invention further includes the following steps:

[0129] Step i: If a reservation charging instruction is received from the user based on the trip plan information, a lock instruction is output to lock the charging device corresponding to the charging location in the trip plan information;

[0130] In this process, after the vehicle recommends the aforementioned trip plan information to the user through a human-machine interface or mobile terminal, if the user performs a selection operation based on the human-machine interface or mobile terminal to select the vehicle to travel the subsequent trip according to the trip plan information, the vehicle will further obtain the charging location between the destination of the subsequent trip and display it to the user through the human-machine interface or mobile terminal.

[0131] After the vehicle displays the charging location from the aforementioned trip plan information to the user, the user can select the charging location to trigger a scheduled charging command. The vehicle will then respond to the scheduled charging command by immediately outputting a lock command to control the charging equipment, thereby notifying the charging control system of the selected charging location to lock the charging equipment that is currently idle and able to replenish the vehicle's power.

[0132] Optionally, such as Figure 5 As shown, after the above-mentioned "output lock-up command" step, the vehicle discharge management method of the present invention may further include:

[0133] Step ii: When the vehicle approaches the charging device, an unlock command is output to unlock the charging device to charge the vehicle.

[0134] In this system, after the charging control system at the user-selected charging location locks the charging device that is in an idle state and capable of replenishing the vehicle's power, if the vehicle determines that its real-time location is close to the charging device based on continuous positioning, the vehicle will then send an unlock command to the charging control system to unlock the charging device, allowing the user to use the charging device to recharge the vehicle.

[0135] Optionally, such as Figure 6 As shown, in another feasible embodiment, after the step of outputting the charging location in the trip plan information described above, the vehicle discharge management method of the present invention may further include:

[0136] Step a: Obtain the occupancy status of the charging devices at the charging location, and update the travel plan information based on the occupancy status;

[0137] Step b: Output the updated itinerary information.

[0138] After displaying the charging locations from the aforementioned trip plan information to the user, if the user does not select a charging location, the vehicle automatically obtains the occupancy status of the charging equipment at that location. Then, based on this occupancy status, the vehicle updates the trip plan information in real time to obtain an updated trip plan. This updated trip plan information is then recommended to the user through the vehicle's own human-machine interface or a mobile terminal connected to the vehicle.

[0139] In this embodiment, the vehicle can recommend the aforementioned trip plan information to the user through a human-machine interface or a mobile terminal connected to the vehicle. After the user selects a trip, the vehicle can preview (power, occupancy, heat map, rating, etc.) and reserve charging stations / equipment at the charging locations listed in the trip plan information. Then, if the user clicks to reserve charging, the vehicle predicts and dynamically updates the arrival time based on the user's driving speed and other information. Simultaneously, the vehicle adjusts the battery to its optimal charging state before entering the charging location through thermal management strategies. Furthermore, after the user selects a charging location in the trip plan information to reserve charging at that location, the vehicle actively locks the corresponding charging equipment and automatically unlocks it when the vehicle approaches. Finally, if the user does not select a charging location to reserve charging, the vehicle updates the occupancy status of the charging equipment in real time during the journey.
