Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0029] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the invention.

[0030] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0031] In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, it should be noted that if terms such as "upper," "lower," "horizontal," or "inner" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly used when the product of the invention is in use, they are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention. Furthermore, terms such as "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0032] Furthermore, the use of the term "horizontal" does not imply that the component must be absolutely horizontal, but rather that it can be slightly tilted. For example, "horizontal" simply means that its direction is more horizontal than "vertical," and does not mean that the structure must be completely horizontal, but can be slightly tilted.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the present invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0034] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0035] See Figure 1 This application discloses a method for automatic charging based on user habits, including:

[0036] S1: Obtain real-time vehicle information;

[0037] S2: Generate a charging plan based on real-time vehicle information and a database formed based on user habits;

[0038] S3: Automatically charges according to the charging plan and provides feedback on the charging status.

[0039] This invention creates a database based on car owners' usage habits, predicts charging needs using the database and real-time vehicle information, formulates charging plans, and enables automatic charging. This method improves charging efficiency, facilitates car owners' needs, and reduces charging costs and energy waste. It also helps reduce charging-related damage to the battery. The method automatically adjusts charging speed and amount based on battery status and charging needs, avoiding overcharging or over-discharging to prevent damage and extend battery life. It also helps alleviate range anxiety. Because the charging process is more convenient, car owners no longer need to worry about running out of power, thus improving the user experience of new energy vehicles.

[0040] In some embodiments, the real-time vehicle information includes: remaining battery charge, charging rate, and remaining driving range. Remaining battery charge (SOC) represents the ratio of the battery's current stored capacity to its total capacity, typically expressed as a percentage. It directly affects the driving range and charging needs of new energy vehicles. Generally, when the remaining battery charge is low, the vehicle needs to be charged as soon as possible to ensure continued driving.

[0041] The charging rate determines the time it takes for a battery to go from low to full charge. The faster the charging rate, the more electricity the vehicle gains in a short time, allowing it to regain its driving ability more quickly. Different charging facilities (such as home charging stations and public charging stations) and charging methods (such as fast charging and slow charging) will affect the charging rate.

[0042] The remaining driving range is estimated based on the current remaining battery power and vehicle energy consumption. It tells the driver how far the vehicle can travel in the current state. This value changes in real time depending on driving habits, road conditions, vehicle load, and battery status. Therefore, drivers need to constantly monitor the remaining driving range to plan charging and driving routes accordingly.

[0043] In some embodiments, generating a charging plan based on real-time vehicle information and a database formed based on user habits specifically includes:

[0044] Determine charging windows, trip requirements, and charging needs based on real-time vehicle information and vehicle usage data in the database;

[0045] A charging plan is generated based on the charging window, travel needs, and charging requirements.

[0046] In some embodiments, the vehicle usage data includes: daily driving records, regular charging time, driving distance, commuting routes, commuting time, and charging frequency.

[0047] In some embodiments, during the charging process, the charging plan is adjusted based on charging demand and grid load using real-time data provided by the feedback charging status.

[0048] In some embodiments, the charging plan includes a charging start time, a charging duration, and a charging power.

[0049] This application also discloses a system for automatic charging based on user habits, including:

[0050] The acquisition unit is used to acquire real-time vehicle information.

[0051] The planning unit is used to generate a charging plan based on real-time vehicle information and a preset database.

[0052] The charging unit is used for automatic charging according to the charging plan.

[0053] In some embodiments, the charging unit is a vehicle management system or a smart charging device.

[0054]

Example

[0055] The algorithm for automatically charging based on car owners' usage habits requires collecting and analyzing vehicle usage data to predict charging demand, formulate charging plans, and ultimately achieve automatic charging. By analyzing car owners' usage data and combining it with daily driving patterns, frequent charging times, commuting routes, onboard sensors, and an app, we can develop a suitable charging schedule for each owner. See also... Figure 2 The steps are as follows:

[0056] 1. Data collection and storage: First, it is necessary to collect the vehicle owner's usage data, including daily driving records, regular charging time, driving distance, commuting routes, etc., and store the data in the database for subsequent analysis.

[0057] 2. Commuting Route Analysis: Based on the car owner's commuting route and driving time, the daily commuting time and vehicle arrival time at the destination are analyzed. This helps determine charging windows and trip demand.

[0058] 3. Charging Demand Assessment: Based on the owner's driving distance, usage time, and charging frequency, assess the owner's charging needs. Based on these factors, determine whether and when the vehicle needs to be charged.

[0059] 4. Charging Window Identification: By analyzing the owner's usual charging time periods, suitable charging time windows are identified. This can be determined based on the owner's driving habits and commuting time to ensure that the charging process has minimal impact on the owner's use of the vehicle.

[0060] 5. Utilization of vehicle sensor and APP data: Use vehicle sensors and APP to obtain real-time vehicle information, such as remaining battery power, charging rate, and remaining driving range, and combine this with the charging demand and charging window analyzed above to formulate a charging plan.

[0061] 6. Charging Schedule Generation: Based on the above analysis, a suitable charging schedule for the vehicle owner is generated. This schedule should include specific parameters such as charging start time, charging duration, and charging power to meet the charging needs of the vehicle owner.

[0062] 7. Charging Control Strategy: Based on the owner's charging schedule, the system controls the charging equipment (such as charging stations) to provide the vehicle with an appropriate amount of electrical energy. During the charging process, based on real-time data from onboard sensors and the app, the system adjusts the charging power and time according to factors such as charging demand and grid load to optimize charging efficiency and energy utilization.

[0063] 8. Automatic Charging Control: Through the vehicle management system or intelligent charging equipment, the charging plan is translated into actual charging control commands to achieve automatic charging. The transmission and execution of commands can be achieved using communication protocols between the vehicle and the charging equipment, such as OCPP (Open Charge Point Protocol).

[0064] Furthermore, the formulation of charging schedules should also take into account factors such as the stability of the power grid and the availability of charging equipment, and should be coordinated with the management system of the charging equipment.

[0065] This application utilizes sensors in the vehicle and smart mobile devices to collect user driving data and vehicle operating status data in real time. The system establishes a usage habit model based on the driver's driving behavior and habits. The collected data is categorized, stored, and managed. Machine learning and artificial intelligence algorithms are used to analyze and process the data. Based on the analysis results, fault warnings are provided to proactively avoid potential problems, thus improving the safety performance of vehicle charging.
