[0048] Figure 1 A tray and a battery movement detection apparatus according to embodiments disclosed herein are illustrated.

[0049] Referring to Figure 1 The tray 10 can accommodate a battery 20. The battery movement detection apparatus 100 can be connected to the tray 10. The battery movement detection apparatus 100 can detect movement of the tray 10. Accordingly, the battery movement detection apparatus 100 can detect movement of the battery 20 accommodated in the tray 10.

[0050] The battery movement detection apparatus 100 according to embodiments disclosed herein can include a speed sensor 110, a communication unit 120, a power supply unit 130, an environmental sensor 140, and a controller 150. The battery movement detection apparatus 100 can further include a storage unit 160.

[0051] The speed sensor 110 can obtain information for detecting an impact of the battery movement detection apparatus 100. According to an embodiment, the speed sensor 110 can obtain speed information of the tray 10. The speed sensor 110 can include an acceleration sensor and / or an angular velocity sensor. According to an embodiment, the angular velocity sensor can include a gyro sensor.

[0052] The communication unit 120 can communicate with other electronic devices. According to an embodiment, the communication unit 120 can perform ultra-wideband (UWB) wireless communication. The communication unit 120 can communicate with another electronic device at each preset communication period. The communication unit 120 can transmit speed information obtained by the speed sensor 110 to another device or a server other than the battery movement detection apparatus 100.

[0053] According to an embodiment, the communication unit 120 can operate in a wake-up mode corresponding to a communication period. The communication unit 120 can operate in a sleep mode after communicating with another electronic device in the communication period. When the communication unit 120 operates in the sleep mode, the battery movement detection device 100 can reduce power consumption. According to an embodiment, the communication unit 120 can be controlled in its operation by the controller 150. For example, the communication period of the communication unit 120 can be controlled by the controller 150.

[0054] The power supply unit 130 can provide a driving power source for the battery movement detection device 100. According to an embodiment, the power supply unit 130 can provide a driving power source for the speed sensor 110, the communication unit 120, the environment sensor 140, the controller 150, and / or the storage unit 160. According to an embodiment, the capacity of the power supply unit 130 can be limited. The power supply unit 130 can be a storage unit that is always not connected to a power source and has a predetermined capacity.

[0055] The environment sensor 140 can measure surrounding environment information of the battery movement detection device 100. The environment information measured by the environment sensor 140 can include temperature information and / or humidity information. For example, the environment sensor 140 can measure environment information of the power supply unit 130. That is, the environment sensor 140 can measure the temperature and / or humidity around the power supply unit 130.

[0056] The controller 150 can control the operation of the communication unit 120. The controller 150 can be communicatively connected to the communication unit 120.

[0057] The controller 150 can receive environment information from the environment sensor 140. The controller 150 can control the operation of the communication unit 120 in consideration of the environment information received from the environment sensor 140. The controller 150 can calculate the available limit of the power supply unit 130 based on the environment information and control the operation of the communication unit 120 based on the calculated available limit. According to an embodiment, the controller 150 can adjust the communication period of the communication unit 120 based on the available limit.

[0058] More specifically, the controller 150 can calculate a diagnostic coefficient related to the power supply unit 130 based on the environment information. The controller 150 can calculate the available limit of the power supply unit 130 based on the diagnostic coefficient. Here, the diagnostic coefficient can be calculated based on the surrounding environment information of the power supply unit 130, and can be understood as a factor related to the performance degradation of the power supply unit 130 due to the surrounding environment information.

[0059] More specifically, the controller 150 can calculate the diagnosis coefficient based on a temperature difference between a preset reference temperature related to the power supply unit 130 and a surrounding temperature of the power supply unit and / or a humidity difference between a preset reference humidity related to the power supply unit 130 and a surrounding humidity of the power supply unit 130. Here, the reference temperature can be an optimal temperature that is preset in order for the power supply unit 130 to exhibit optimal performance. Here, the reference humidity can be an optimal humidity that is preset in order for the power supply unit 130 to exhibit optimal performance. According to an embodiment, the reference temperature can be set to a room temperature of 25℃, and the reference humidity can be set to 0%, but is not limited thereto. As the temperature difference between the reference temperature and the surrounding temperature of the power supply unit 130 and / or the humidity difference between the reference humidity and the surrounding humidity of the power supply unit 130 can be greater, the performance of the power supply unit 130 can deteriorate. That is, as the temperature difference and / or the humidity difference increase, the amount of power of the power supply unit 130 consumed by the communication unit 120 when the communication unit 120 transmits speed information to another electronic device can increase.

[0060] The controller 150 can distinguish a high-temperature section and a low-temperature section based on the reference temperature. The controller 150 can calculate the diagnosis coefficient with respect to a case where the temperature of the power supply unit 130 belongs to the low-temperature section and a case where the temperature thereof belongs to the high-temperature section. According to an embodiment, the controller 150 can calculate the diagnosis coefficient such that the diagnosis coefficient is greater when the surrounding temperature of the power supply unit 130 belongs to the low-temperature section than when the surrounding temperature thereof belongs to the high-temperature section.

[0061] Generally, the performance of the power supply unit 130 deteriorates more at a low temperature than at a high temperature. For example, the performance deterioration when the temperature of the power supply unit 130 decreases from 25℃ to 0℃ can be greater than the performance deterioration when the temperature of the power supply unit 130 increases from 25℃ to 50℃. Furthermore, when the temperature of the power supply unit 130 is below zero, the performance deterioration of the power supply unit 130 can further increase. Accordingly, even for the case where the surrounding temperature of the power supply unit 130 belongs to the low-temperature section and the case where the surrounding temperature of the power supply unit 130 belongs to the high-temperature section, the controller 150 can calculate the diagnosis coefficient such that the diagnosis coefficient is greater when the surrounding temperature belongs to the high-temperature section than when the surrounding temperature belongs to the low-temperature section, at the same temperature difference from the reference temperature.

[0062] The controller 150 can calculate the available limit of the power supply unit 130 based on the diagnosis coefficient, the capacity of the power supply unit 130, the consumed current required for the communication unit 120 to transmit speed information to another electronic device, and the communication time of the communication unit 120.

[0063] Here, the capacity of the power supply unit 130 can be a maximum capacity of the power supply unit 130. According to an embodiment, the capacity of the power supply unit 130 can be a maximum capacity when the power supply unit 130 is in a beginning of life (BoL) state. In addition, the consumption current can represent a consumption current required for the communication unit 120 to transmit speed information to other electronic devices. In addition, the communication time can represent a time required for the communication unit 120 to transmit speed information to other electronic devices.

[0064] Here, the available limit can be a factor for determining whether the power supply unit 130 is drivable. According to an embodiment, the available limit of the power supply unit 130 can be represented as an available time. According to an embodiment, the available limit of the power supply unit 130 represented in time units can be represented as a remaining capacity of the power supply unit 130, a possible number of communications of the power supply unit 130, etc. through unit conversion.

[0065] For example, the available limit can be configured to decrease as the calculated diagnosis coefficient increases. That is, the available limit of the power supply unit 130 can decrease as the diagnosis coefficient increases.

[0066] The controller 150 can calculate the available limit of the power supply unit 130 with reference to the following Equation 1.

[0067] [Equation 1]

[0068]

[0069] In Equation 1, D represents the available limit, C represents a maximum capacity of the power supply unit 130, I represents the consumption current, K represents the diagnosis coefficient, and T represents the communication time. According to an embodiment, the unit of C can be [mAh], the unit of I can be [mA], K can be a constant value, and the unit of T can be [s] or [h]. The controller 150 can multiply an appropriate coefficient for unit conversion to the entire Equation 1 or a part thereof to calculate the available limit D in seconds [s] or hours [h].

[0070] The available limit D calculated using Equation 1 can represent an available time of the power supply unit 130 with respect to a current capacity of the power supply unit 130. The available time of the power supply unit 130 can decrease as the power supply unit 130 operates (i.e., provides driving power to the communication unit 120). That is, in Equation 1, because the product of the diagnosis coefficient K and the communication time T is accumulated and subtracted for the available limit D, Equation 1 can represent that the available limit D decreases as the power supply unit 130 operates.

[0071] Referring to Equation 1, the available limit D can be further reduced as the diagnosis coefficient K increases. That is, the decrease in the available limit D can increase as the diagnosis coefficient K calculated based on the surrounding environment information of the power supply unit 130 is greater.

[0072] The controller 150 can calculate the available limit of the power supply unit 130 with reference to Equation 1, and control the operation of the communication unit 120 based on the calculated available limit. The controller 150 can determine whether the power supply unit 130 is drivable to control the operation of the communication unit 120. More specifically, the controller 150 can compare the calculated available limit with a reference value and control the operation of the communication unit 120 based on the comparison result.

[0073] According to an embodiment, when the available limit of the power supply unit 130 is equal to or greater than the reference value, the controller 150 can determine that the power supply unit 130 is drivable. In this case, the controller 150 can maintain the communication period of the communication unit 120.

[0074] According to another embodiment, when the available limit of the power supply unit 130 is less than the reference value, the controller 150 can increase the communication period of the communication unit 120. When the available limit of the power supply unit 130 is less than the reference value, this can correspond to a situation in which the power supply unit 130 can not be able to normally supply driving power. That is, when the available limit of the power supply unit 130 is less than the reference value, the communication unit 120 can not be able to communicate with another electronic device according to the preset communication period. Accordingly, when the available limit of the power supply unit 130 is less than the reference value, the controller 150 can increase the communication period of the communication unit 120 to reduce the communication frequency of the communication unit 120.

[0075] According to an embodiment, when the available limit of the power supply unit 130 is not sufficient to provide sufficient power for the operation of the communication unit 120, the communication unit 120 can not be able to communicate with another electronic device even when it operates in the wake-up mode. According to an embodiment, the controller 150 can calculate the available limit of the power supply unit 130 before the communication unit 120 operates in the wake-up mode.

[0076] The controller 150 can control the operation of the communication unit 120. The communication unit 120 can transmit the available limit to another electronic device. According to an embodiment, the communication unit 120 can transmit the available limit to another electronic device only when the available limit is equal to or greater than the reference value. According to another embodiment, the communication unit 120 can transmit the available limit to another electronic device only when the available limit is less than the reference value.

[0077] The battery movement detection apparatus 100 according to the embodiments disclosed herein can more accurately determine whether the power supply unit 130 is drivable by considering not only the consumed current and communication time required in the communication process and the available capacity of the power supply unit 130 capable of providing driving power to the communication unit 120, but also the surrounding environment information of the power supply unit 130 in calculating the available limit of the power supply unit 130.

[0078] The power supply unit 130 of the battery movement detection apparatus 100 according to the embodiments disclosed herein can correspond to a power storage unit having a predetermined capacity and can have a performance deviation depending on the surrounding temperature and / or humidity in driving. Accordingly, the controller 150 can calculate the available limit of the power supply unit 130 and determine whether the power supply unit 130 is drivable by considering the surrounding environment information of the power supply unit 130, thereby preventing the operation of the communication unit 120 from being stopped and / or the power supply unit 130 from being excessively discharged beyond the limit value.

[0079] The controller 150 can selectively include a processor, an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), other chip sets, logic circuit, register, communication modem, data processing device, etc. known in the art to perform various control logics performed herein. Accordingly, when the control logics are implemented as software, the controller 150 can be implemented as a set of program modules. In this case, the program modules can be stored in the memory and can be executed by the controller 150. The memory can be internal or external to the controller 150 and can be connected to the controller 150 by various means known in the art.

[0080] The storage unit 160 can store data or programs required for each component of the battery movement detection apparatus 100 to perform the operation and function of the respective components, or data generated in the process of performing the operation and function, etc. The storage unit 160 can not be particularly limited to a specific type, as long as he is a well-known information storage device that records, erases, updates, and reads data. According to the embodiments, the information storage device can include a random access memory (RAM), a flash memory, a read only memory (ROM), an electrically erasable programmable read only memory (EEPROM), a register, etc. In addition, the storage unit 160 can store program codes in which processes executable by the controller 150 are defined.
