However, the construction speed of charging piles and stations is struggling to keep pace with the rapid growth in the number of new energy vehicles. This is especially true in urban areas with high density of new energy vehicles, where long queues for charging are common. Since charging is significantly slower than refueling, these long queues are likely to occur. Summary of the Invention

[0014] Optional, also includes:

[0015] Send a first charging stage prompt message to the candidate vehicle or the mobile terminal of the user to which the candidate vehicle belongs, wherein the first charging stage prompt message includes: a prompt that the current charge amount is sufficient to travel to the destination and a request to end charging;

[0016] If a feedback message is received indicating that the user has confirmed the end of charging, the candidate charging station will be used as the target charging station.

[0017] Send the location information and / or identification information of the target charging station to the target vehicle.

[0018] Optionally, determining candidate charging stations from the preset range based on the navigation data and current battery level of all charging vehicles includes:

[0019] If the current battery level is less than the vehicle's expected power consumption, the vehicle with the smallest difference between its current battery level and its expected power consumption is selected as the candidate vehicle, and the charging station currently being used by the candidate vehicle is selected as the candidate charging station.

[0020] Optionally, the method further includes:

[0022] If a feedback message is received indicating that the user has confirmed the early termination of charging, the candidate charging station will be used as the target charging station.

[0023] Send the location information and / or identification information of the target charging station to the target vehicle.

[0024] Optionally, the above methods also include:

[0025] Obtain charging target information before charging begins;

[0026] In the absence of charging target information, the charging target of the vehicle is determined to be a full charge.

[0027] Optionally, the above method also includes

[0028] Obtain charging target information before charging begins;

[0029] The charging piles corresponding to the obtained charging target information will be excluded from the candidate charging piles.

[0030] Secondly, embodiments of the present invention also provide a charging pile determination device, comprising:

[0031] The first acquisition unit is used to acquire the current battery level of the target vehicle;

[0032] The query unit is used to query available charging stations within a preset range for the target vehicle when the current battery level of the target vehicle is lower than the preset battery level.

[0033] The second acquisition unit is used to acquire navigation data of all charging vehicles within the preset range when no available charging piles are found within the preset range of the target vehicle.

[0035] To achieve the above objectives, according to a third aspect of the present invention, a computer-readable storage medium is provided, the computer-readable storage medium comprising a stored program, wherein the above-described charging pile determination method is implemented when the program is executed by a processor.

[0037] By employing the above technical solution, the charging pile determination method provided by this invention obtains the current battery level of a target vehicle; when the current battery level of the target vehicle is lower than a preset battery level, it queries available charging piles within a preset range of the target vehicle; when no available charging piles are found within the preset range of the target vehicle, it obtains navigation data of all charging vehicles within the preset range; based on the navigation data and current battery level of all charging vehicles, it determines candidate charging piles from the charging piles within the preset range. Therefore, when the current battery level of the target vehicle is lower than a preset battery level, querying available charging piles within the preset range of the target vehicle avoids situations where some charging piles are in queue while others remain idle, reducing the number of vehicles queuing for charging and preventing the waste of charging pile resources. Furthermore, when no available charging piles are found within the preset range of the target vehicle, combining the navigation data and current battery level of all charging vehicles, it is possible to preliminarily predict the remaining charging time of vehicles currently using charging piles, thus providing further basis for selecting suitable charging piles for the target vehicle waiting to charge when no available charging piles are available. This further reduces the number of vehicles queuing for charging and prevents the waste of charging pile resources.

[0038] Accordingly, the charging pile determination device, equipment, and computer-readable storage medium provided in the embodiments of the present invention also have the above-mentioned technical effects.

[0039] The above description is merely an overview of the technical solution of the present invention.

[0043] Figure 3 A schematic block diagram of the composition of a charging pile determination electronic device provided in an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Detailed Implementation

[0044] 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 may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this invention will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art.

[0045] To address the problem of insufficient charging stations leading to inefficient and inefficient allocation and resulting in long waiting times for charging vehicles, this invention provides a method for determining charging stations, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0046] S110, Obtain the current battery level of the target vehicle;

[0047] For example, the target vehicle mentioned above can be a new energy vehicle. The current battery level mentioned above can be the remaining battery power of the new energy vehicle.

[0048] S120. If the current battery level of the target vehicle is lower than the preset battery level, query the available charging stations within the preset range of the target vehicle.

[0049] For example, the preset battery level can be the amount of power sufficient to sustain the vehicle's continued travel for a certain distance. This preset battery level can be set according to the vehicle type. For instance, the preset battery level for a medium-sized vehicle with higher power consumption can be lower than that for a small vehicle with lower power consumption. The preset battery level can also be set based on the vehicle's current location. For example, since the density of charging stations is higher in urban areas than in other areas, the preset battery level for urban areas can be lower than that for other areas.

[0050] For example, the available charging stations mentioned above can be currently idle charging stations.

[0051] S130. If no available charging pile is found within a preset range of the target vehicle, obtain navigation data of all charging vehicles within the preset range.

[0052] For example, the scenario described above where no charging stations are available could be a situation where all charging stations are being used by vehicles. The navigation data of all charging vehicles can be obtained through a charging station electrically connected to the vehicle. For instance, the charging station can communicate with the controller of the charging vehicle via electrical or wireless connection to obtain the current navigation data recorded in the vehicle's controller. Alternatively, the navigation data of all charging vehicles can be obtained through a server of a specific application and a vehicle-side application of the currently charging vehicle; this is not limited to this method.

[0053] It should be noted that navigation data generally includes the vehicle's current location, the vehicle's destination, the passable routes between the vehicle and the destination, and the distance of each route, etc., which are not limited here.

[0054] S140. Based on the navigation data and current battery level of all the charging vehicles, determine the candidate charging piles among the charging piles within the preset range.

[0055] For example, based on the navigation data and current battery level of all charging vehicles, it is possible to preliminarily determine the amount of charge each vehicle needs to reach its destination. This allows for a preliminary prediction of the minimum remaining charge and time required for all vehicles to be charged. Consequently, candidate charging stations are selected from the preset range of charging stations.

[0056] By employing the above technical solution, the charging pile determination method provided by this invention obtains the current battery level of a target vehicle; when the current battery level of the target vehicle is lower than a preset battery level, it queries available charging piles within a preset range of the target vehicle; when no available charging piles are found within the preset range of the target vehicle, it obtains navigation data of all charging vehicles within the preset range; based on the navigation data and current battery level of all charging vehicles, it determines candidate charging piles from the charging piles within the preset range. Therefore, when the current battery level of the target vehicle is lower than a preset battery level, querying available charging piles within the preset range of the target vehicle avoids situations where some charging piles are in queue while others remain idle, reducing the number of vehicles queuing for charging and preventing the waste of charging pile resources. Furthermore, when no available charging piles are found within the preset range of the target vehicle, combining the navigation data and current battery level of all charging vehicles, it is possible to preliminarily predict the remaining charging time of vehicles currently using charging piles, thus providing further basis for selecting suitable charging piles for the target vehicle waiting to charge when no available charging piles are available. This further reduces the number of vehicles queuing for charging and prevents the waste of charging pile resources.

[0057] For example, the aforementioned preset range can be a small distance range, such as a radius of three kilometers or a driving distance of 3 kilometers. It can also be a very close range, such as a radius of 500 meters or a driving distance of 500 meters. A smaller distance reduces uncertainties after the charging station is determined, and to some extent avoids the possibility of repeatedly selecting candidate charging stations.

[0058] In one embodiment, determining candidate charging stations from the preset range of charging stations based on the navigation data and current battery level of all charging vehicles includes:

[0059] The destination of the vehicle is determined based on the navigation data;

[0060] Determine the current location of the vehicle and the distance to be traveled to the destination;

[0061] Calculate the estimated power consumption for the distance to be traveled;

[0062] Vehicles whose current battery level is greater than or equal to their estimated battery consumption are selected as candidate vehicles, and the charging stations currently being used by the candidate vehicles are selected as candidate charging stations.

[0063] For example, if the current battery level is greater than or equal to the vehicle's estimated power consumption, it means the vehicle's current battery level is sufficient to reach its destination. Therefore, at this point, the vehicle's current battery level has reached its necessary charging level. Without other special factors, the users of these vehicles are unlikely to be strongly inclined to continue charging. If a user is in a hurry and time-sensitive, knowing that the current battery level has reached their necessary charging level, they are likely to choose not to continue charging or at least stop charging prematurely. The charging stations used by these vehicles can be selected as candidate charging stations.

[0064] For example, the navigation data can also be used to determine the location of a charging station near the destination of the vehicle, and to determine the distance to be traveled between the current location of the vehicle and the location of the charging station near the destination, so as to ensure that the user stops charging in advance, and that the current battery level is not only sufficient to support the vehicle to travel to the destination, but also sufficient to ensure that the user has enough battery level to travel to the charging station near the destination when leaving the destination.

[0065] In one embodiment, the method further includes:

[0066] Send a first charging stage prompt message to the candidate vehicle or the mobile terminal of the user to which the candidate vehicle belongs, wherein the first charging stage prompt message includes: a prompt that the current charge amount is sufficient to travel to the destination and a request to end charging;

[0067] If a feedback message is received indicating that the user has confirmed the end of charging, the candidate charging station will be used as the target charging station.

[0068] Send the location information and / or identification information of the target charging station to the target vehicle.

[0069] In one embodiment, determining candidate charging stations from the preset range of charging stations based on the navigation data and current battery level of all charging vehicles includes:

[0070] If the current battery level is less than the vehicle's expected power consumption, the vehicle with the smallest difference between its current battery level and its expected power consumption is selected as the candidate vehicle, and the charging station currently being used by the candidate vehicle is selected as the candidate charging station.

[0071] For example, when the current battery level is less than the vehicle's expected power consumption, the vehicle with the smallest difference between its current battery level and expected power consumption is selected as the candidate vehicle. This indicates that among the charging vehicles, the candidate vehicle is likely to reach the required battery level to reach its destination the fastest. Therefore, since the charging vehicle has reached its necessary charge level, and there are no other special factors affecting it, the user of the candidate vehicle may not have a strong desire to continue charging. If the user is in a hurry and is time-sensitive, they are likely to choose not to continue charging or at least stop charging early upon learning that the current battery level has reached their necessary charge level. Therefore, the charging station used by the candidate charging station can be selected as the candidate charging station, i.e., the charging station that is likely to finish charging the fastest.

[0072] In one embodiment, the method further includes:

[0073] Send a second charging stage prompt message to the candidate vehicle or the mobile terminal of the user to which the candidate vehicle belongs, wherein the second charging stage prompt message includes: charging until the battery is sufficient for the remaining time to travel to the destination and requesting to end charging in advance;

[0074] If a feedback message is received indicating that the user has confirmed the early termination of charging, the candidate charging station will be used as the target charging station.

[0075] Send the location information and / or identification information of the target charging station to the target vehicle.

[0076] In one embodiment, it further includes:

[0077] Obtain charging target information before charging begins;

[0078] In the absence of charging target information, the charging target of the vehicle is determined to be a full charge.

[0079] In one embodiment, the above method further includes

[0080] Obtain charging target information before charging begins;

[0081] The charging piles corresponding to the obtained charging target information will be excluded from the candidate charging piles.

[0082] For example, if the user selects a full charge as the charging goal at the beginning of charging, the possibility of ending charging early is low even if the power reaches the circuit to the destination. Therefore, in order to reduce the amount of information interaction and data analysis and calculation, the charging piles corresponding to the obtained charging goal information can be excluded from the candidate charging piles in advance.

[0083] Furthermore, as a response to the above Figure 1 In addition to the implementation of the method shown, this embodiment of the invention also provides a charging pile determination device for determining the above-mentioned charging pile. Figure 1 The method shown is implemented accordingly. This device embodiment corresponds to the foregoing method embodiment. For ease of reading, this device embodiment will not repeat the details of the foregoing method embodiment, but it should be clear that the device in this embodiment can implement all the contents of the foregoing method embodiment. Figure 2 As shown, the device includes: a first acquisition unit 210, a query unit 220, a second acquisition unit 230, and a determination unit 240, wherein...

[0084] The first acquisition unit 210 is used to acquire the current battery level of the target vehicle;

[0085] The query unit 220 is used to query available charging stations within a preset range for the target vehicle when the current battery level of the target vehicle is lower than a preset battery level.

[0086] The second acquisition unit 230 is used to acquire navigation data of all charging vehicles within the preset range when no available charging piles are found within the preset range of the target vehicle.

[0087] The determining unit 240 is used to determine candidate charging piles among the charging piles within the preset range based on the navigation data and current battery level of all the charging vehicles.

[0088] By employing the above technical solution, the charging pile determination device provided by the present invention obtains the current battery level of a target vehicle; when the current battery level of the target vehicle is lower than a preset battery level, it queries available charging piles within a preset range of the target vehicle; when no available charging piles are found within the preset range of the target vehicle, it obtains navigation data of all charging vehicles within the preset range; based on the navigation data and current battery level of all charging vehicles, it determines candidate charging piles from the charging piles within the preset range. Therefore, when the current battery level of the target vehicle is lower than a preset battery level, querying available charging piles within the preset range of the target vehicle avoids situations where some charging piles are queuing while others remain idle, reducing the number of vehicles queuing for charging and preventing the waste of charging pile resources. Furthermore, when no available charging piles are found within the preset range of the target vehicle, combining the navigation data and current battery level of all charging vehicles, it is possible to preliminarily predict the remaining charging time of vehicles currently using charging piles, thus providing further basis for selecting suitable charging piles for the target vehicle waiting to charge when no available charging piles are available. This further reduces the number of vehicles queuing for charging and prevents the waste of charging pile resources.

[0089] The processor contains a kernel, which retrieves the corresponding program units from memory. One or more kernels can be configured, and by adjusting kernel parameters, a method for determining charging stations can be implemented. This method can solve the problem of long waiting times for charging vehicles due to insufficient charging stations, which prevents efficient and reasonable allocation of charging stations.
