Additionally or alternatively, a computer-readable medium comprising instructions is provided, which when executed by a computer causes the computer to at least partially perform the method. Background Art

[0002] Such a method for a motor vehicle is known from the prior art. EP3620751A2 discloses a device for route planning of an electric vehicle, the device comprising: an input interface for receiving the current state of charge of the energy storage of the electric vehicle and the planned route of the electric vehicle; a database interface for receiving charging station information including the location of the charging station; an energy planning unit for determining the expected change process of the state of charge of the energy storage based on the current state of charge of the energy storage and the planned route; a charging planning unit for selecting a charging station based on the expected change process of the state of charge, the charging station information and the planned route; and an adjustment unit for determining at least one adjusted route passing through the location of the selected charging station based on the planned route. In addition, the device may include a reservation unit. The reservation unit is used to determine the expected arrival time at the selected charging station and to reserve the selected charging station. The charging station is thus reserved. The reservation unit then sends a request and receives a confirmation or a rejection in response. Since the device is suitable for determining the expected arrival time of the selected charging station in advance, the charging station can be reserved at the desired time. Long waiting times at the selected charging station are thereby avoided.

[0003] In particular, in relatively long journeys in which the energy storage device has to be charged one or more times, it is desirable to provide a simple and flexible reservation management. In such journeys, the predicted course of the state of charge may sometimes differ significantly from the actual course of the state of charge. For example, this is because during the long journey after the prediction, situations occur that were not predicted and / or were not used as boundary conditions for the prediction, such as congestion, storms and / or driver-initiated breaks that occur after the prediction. This may result in the reservation or booking not being honored. Summary of the invention

[0004] Against the background of this prior art, the task of the present invention is to propose an improved method which is suitable for enriching the prior art. Specific embodiments of the present disclosure can solve the task of providing an improved and more flexible reservation management for charging electric vehicles at a charging point of a charging station.

[0005] This object is achieved by the features of the independent claim and the independent claim. The dependent claims contain optional developments of the disclosure.

[0006] The object is thus achieved by a method for an electrically drivable motor vehicle for dynamically reserving a charging point of a charging station comprising a plurality of charging points for charging an energy storage device of the electrically drivable motor vehicle. The method comprises: detecting a state of charge of the energy storage device; predicting an arrival time for charging the energy storage device at the charging station; sending a reservation request including the arrival time to a vehicle-external server that manages the reservation of the charging points; receiving a reservation response from the server, the reservation response including the allocation of the motor vehicle to a first charging point of the charging station in a charging time interval corresponding to the arrival time; determining a change in the arrival time based on prediction information detectable on the vehicle side; sending a change request including the arrival time change to the server in order to charge the energy storage device at the charging station based on the arrival time change; and receiving a change response determined based on the reservation of the charging station from the server.

[0007] Therefore, a charging station comprises a plurality of charging points. A vehicle can be charged at each of said charging points, provided that the respective charging point has not yet been used and / or reserved by another vehicle. The state of charge is detected in order to estimate the range of the motor vehicle and / or the duration of a future charging process.

[0008] The prediction of the arrival time at the charging station is carried out according to the prior art. In particular, a route can be determined here, on which the charging station is located and to which the motor vehicle can drive at the predicted arrival time. The arrival time is determined, for example, based on road information and / or traffic information about the route between the motor vehicle and the charging station.

[0009] A reservation request including the arrival time is sent to a vehicle-external server that manages the reservation of charging points. The server manages the reservation of charging points here and can make reservations or reservations for charging points so that the charging point can be provided for charging to the motor vehicle according to the arrival time. The motor vehicle receives a reservation response from the server as a response to the reservation request. The reservation response includes an assignment of the motor vehicle to the first charging point in a charging time interval corresponding to the arrival time. The charging time interval defines a charging duration for charging the energy storage device. Thus, if the prediction is met, the motor vehicle can be charged at the first charging point.

[0010] However, it is recognized that the actual arrival time may differ from the arrival time predicted at the outset. Therefore, the change in the arrival time is determined based on prediction information that can be detected on the vehicle side. The determination of the change in the arrival time can be completely analogous to the prediction of the arrival time. The prediction information is information that is available on the vehicle side after the arrival time is predicted, for example, by sensors, data transmission and / or user input, and that allows the prediction of the arrival time or the change in the arrival time to be updated.

[0011] In order to be able to change the previous reservation accordingly, a change request including the change in the arrival time is sent to the server. Thus, a charging point or charging pile can be booked for charging the energy storage device at the charging station according to the change in the arrival time. As a response to the change request, a change response is received from the server, which is determined according to the reservation of the charging station. This allows the prediction of a dynamic change of the arrival time (estimated time of arrival, ETA) to be taken into account.

[0012] In other words, it is proposed to provide a charging planning system and a charging planning method for a motor vehicle, which can determine the charging duration for charging an energy storage device and thus predict possible other necessary stops for charging. Based on the stops for charging, a reservation request can be sent so that a charging point is dynamically assigned to the motor vehicle according to the arrival time.

[0013] The change in the arrival time can be determined at predetermined time intervals. The change in the arrival time can thus be determined reliably and unambiguously. The time interval can be determined, for example, taking into account road sections, speed limits, the distance between the motor vehicle and the charging station and / or traffic information. Alternatively or additionally, the change in the arrival time can be determined under predetermined conditions. For example, the stopping of the motor vehicle and the subsequent continued driving of the motor vehicle can be such a condition. Between the stopping and the continued driving, a period of time passes, during which a fact relevant to the prediction of the arrival time changes.

[0014] The prediction data may include vehicle-related data, environment-related data and / or user input data. Vehicle-related data is, for example, information related to the state of the motor vehicle, such as information related to the state of charge, which may develop differently from the prediction due to the driving style and / or the loading condition of the motor vehicle. Environment-related data refers to the environment of the motor vehicle. Environment-related data, for example, characterizes traffic, lanes and / or weather. Environment-related data may be detected by sensors on the vehicle side and / or sent to the motor vehicle by an external server. User input data may, for example, include the preferences of the driver and / or the user and may include the operation of the motor vehicle. For example, user input data may correspond to the operating mode of the motor vehicle (such as environmental protection, travel, sports) and / or the driving assistance function. This enables comprehensive predictions.

[0015] The method may include: outputting change information corresponding to the change response for perception by the vehicle driver and / or user. The vehicle may have an output device for this purpose. The change response is notified to the driver and / or user. Optionally, a user input may be performed to confirm or reject the change response.

[0016] The modification response may include assigning the motor vehicle to the first charging point in a changed charging time interval corresponding to the arrival time change. In this case, even at the arrival time changed according to the arrival time change, there is a possibility to charge the energy storage device at the first charging point. Thus, for example, the charging time interval is simply postponed. Alternatively, the modification response may be assigning the motor vehicle to a second charging point different from the first charging point in the changed charging time interval. In this case, at the arrival time changed according to the arrival time change, there is no possibility to charge the energy storage device at the first charging point; but the second charging point of the charging station is available. Therefore, the reservation in the charging station is adjusted and the charging time interval is optionally postponed. Alternatively, the modification response may include a rejection. In this case, at the arrival time changed according to the arrival time change, there is no possibility to charge the energy storage device at one of the charging points of the charging station without a waiting time. The reservation is therefore canceled so that the charging point can be booked by another motor vehicle, a waiting time for charging is provided to the driver and / or user of the motor vehicle and / or a route to another charging station is provided to the driver and / or user of the motor vehicle.

[0050] Figure 7 An input request is schematically shown. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0051] Figure 1The schematic diagram shows an overview of a motor vehicle 200 according to one aspect of the present disclosure. Figure 1 Also shown are a server 400 and a charging station 410 having a plurality of charging points 411 .

[0052] Motor vehicle 200 is an electrically drivable motor vehicle 200 and has a rechargeable energy storage device 260 for storing and providing electrical energy. Energy storage device 260 can be recharged in particular at a charging station 410 .

[0053] The motor vehicle 200 has a data processing device 250 which is configured to execute a data processing operation according to Figure 4 To this end, according to the method 100, Figure 1 The data processing device 250 is configured to detect a charge state 261 of an energy storage device 260 .

[0054] The data processing device 250 is also configured to detect prediction information 258. The prediction data 258 includes vehicle-related data, environment-related data, and user input data. For this purpose, the motor vehicle 200 has a sensor device connected to the data processing device 250, a communication device for wireless communication, and an input device. The sensor device is configured to detect information about the motor vehicle 200, the environment, and / or the user and / or driver of the motor vehicle. For example, the sensor device can have one or more cameras for this purpose. The communication device is configured to receive data about the motor vehicle 200 and / or the environment. For example, information about congestion, traffic, and / or weather can be transmitted to the motor vehicle 200. The input device is used to input information by the driver and / or user. For example, information about driving mode and / or route planning can be input here.

[0055] The data processing device 250 is configured to predict the arrival time 255 for charging the energy storage device 260 at the charging station 410 based on the prediction information 258 and then send a reservation request 500 including the arrival time 225 to the vehicle-external server 400 that manages the reservation of the charging point 411. The reservation request 500 and the subsequent allocation of the motor vehicle 200 to one of the charging points 411 can take into account user input and / or presets about preferences. The reservation request 500 can include dynamic data and static data. The static data is fixedly defined during the journey with the motor vehicle 200 and includes, for example, information about the vehicle, the compatibility of the vehicle with the charging point 411, the capacity of the energy storage device 260 and / or the payment method. The dynamic data can change during the journey with the motor vehicle 200 and include, for example, the predicted state of charge when arriving at the charging point to determine the charging duration.

[0056] The server 400 checks the possibility of charging the motor vehicle 200 at the charging station 410 and sends a reservation response 510, which includes an assignment of the motor vehicle 200 to the first charging point 411a of the charging station 410 in the charging time interval 256 corresponding to the arrival time 255. The reservation response 510 is received by the motor vehicle 510. The charging time interval 256 may be sent from the server 400 to the charging station 410 and / or the first charging point 411a.

[0057] Data processing device 250 is configured to execute arrival time change 257 based on prediction information 258. For this purpose, a new prediction is made similar to arrival time 255. Data processing device 250 then sends a change request 501 including arrival time change 257 to server 400 in order to charge energy storage device 260 at charging station 410 based on arrival time change 257.

[0058] Arrival time 257 is calculated continuously or regularly. For example, when arrival time variation 257 exceeds 2 minutes in value, a change request 501 based thereon can be sent from motor vehicle 200 to server 400 at regular time intervals and / or under predetermined conditions. Additionally or alternatively, when approaching charging station 400 geographically and / or temporally, change request 501 can be sent from motor vehicle 200 to server 400 more frequently.

[0059] The server 400 checks the possibility of charging the motor vehicle 200 at the charging station 410 and sends a modification response 511. The modification response 511 is received by the motor vehicle 510. The possibly variable charging time interval 259 can be sent by the server 400 to the motor vehicle 200, the charging station 410 and / or one of the plurality of charging points 411. For various possible scenarios for the modification response 511, refer to Figure 3 Give a description.

[0060] The data processing device 250 is configured to output a modification information 512 corresponding to the modification response 511 for perception by the driver and / or user of the motor vehicle 200. For this purpose, the motor vehicle 200 has an output device, not shown, such as a display for visual output and / or a loudspeaker for acoustic output. Optionally, the user and / or driver can make an input 513 based on the modification information 512 to accept or reject the modification. The modification information 512 can be output by means of an input request 514 (see Figure 7 ). The input request 514 may include a confirmation 515 of the waiting time and / or a request to find another charging station 410 on the route. The change information 512 may include a charging point 411, such as "Charging point 3". Optionally, in particular when approaching a charging station 410, the server 400 may cause the display of reservation information at the charging point 411, such as information about the user's name and / or the logo of the motor vehicle 200.

[0061] The communication between motor vehicle 200 and server 400 can take place, for example, via a mobile radio network (4G, 5G) and / or a local wireless network (WLAN).

[0062] The server 400 has a server data processing device 450 for managing the reservation of charging points 411 of a charging station 410 including a plurality of charging points 411 in order to charge the energy storage device 260 of the electrically drivable motor vehicle 200. The server 400 can be a central server 400, i.e. a server 400 that manages the reservation of a plurality of charging stations 410. Thus, for example, the reservation can be managed across manufacturers and / or service providers. The server 400 can be a partial central server 400, i.e. a server 400 that manages the reservation of a plurality of charging points 411 of a charging station 410. Thus, the reservation of the charging station 410 can be effectively managed locally. In this case, the server 400 can be connected and / or connectable to other servers 400 of other charging stations 410 in order to exchange reservation information. The server 400 can be a decentralized server 400, i.e. a server 400 that manages the reservation of a charging point 411 of a charging station 410. For example, the server 400 can then be directly arranged in the corresponding charging point 411 or charging pile. The reservations for the respective charging point 411 can thus be managed locally in an efficient manner. In this case, the server 400 can be connected and / or connectable to other servers 400 of other charging points 411 and / or other charging stations 410 in order to exchange reservation information. The server data processing device 450 is configured to execute the reservation according to Figure 5 The steps of method 300 are as follows.

[0063] Figure 2 The charge state prediction of a motor vehicle 200 according to one aspect of the present disclosure is schematically shown. Figure 2 (A) and Figure 2 (B) shows a scenario in which a charge state 261 of an energy storage device 260 of a motor vehicle 200 is predicted based on a road section 265 to be traveled. Figure 1 Described in Figure 2 Reference in the description Figure 1 .

[0064] exist Figure 2 (A) and Figure 2(B) A curve is shown in the respective upper part of the figure, which shows the state of charge 261 as a function of a route section 265. In this case, the motor vehicle 200 is located at a point on the route section 265, which is indicated by a vertically arranged dashed line. The state of charge 261 at this point can be measured on the vehicle side. The state of charge 261 is then predicted. In order to reach the destination on the route 265, which is indicated by the end flag, the energy storage device 260 must be charged along the route section 265.

[0065] To this end, the motor vehicle 200 is Figure 2 (A) A reservation request 500 is sent to a server 400 that manages reservations for one of a plurality of charging stations 410 disposed along road section 265 . Vehicle 200 is charged at charging station 410 , state of charge 261 increases during charging, and vehicle 200 can continue to travel along road section 265 .

[0066] according to Figure 2 (B), the motor vehicle 200 must be charged at two charging stations 410. To this end, the motor vehicle 200 sends a reservation request 500 to the corresponding server 400, which manages the reservation of one of the multiple charging stations 410 arranged along the road section 265. The motor vehicle 200 is charged at the charging station 410, the state of charge 261 is increased during charging, and the motor vehicle 200 can continue to travel along the road section 265.

[0067] However, it may happen that the prediction may not be fulfilled and the reservation corresponding to reservation request 500 for one of charging stations 410 may not be fulfilled. Figure 1 and 3 Dynamic reservation as described in 5, which takes into account the changes in arrival time 255.

[0068] Figure 3 The schematic diagram shows a dynamic reservation of charging points 411, 411a, 411b by a motor vehicle 200 according to one aspect of the present disclosure. Figure 3 (A) to 3 (D) each show a scenario for assigning a motor vehicle 200 to one of the charging points 411, 411a, 411b of a charging station 410. Such a motor vehicle 200 is already Figure 1 Described in Figure 3 Reference in the description Figure 1 and 2 and its description.

[0069] Here Figure 3 (A) to Figure 3Each of (D) shows the occupancy of charging points 411 of charging station 410. Charging points 411 are plotted row by row and in each row the occupancy of the respective charging point 411 assigned to the respective charging point 411 and represented by a dashed rectangle is shown. The arrangement and size of these rectangles here indicate the time and duration that the respective charging point 411 is occupied by another motor vehicle 200 and is not available for reservation.

[0070] according to Figure 3 (A), the vehicle 200 sends a reservation request 500 to the server 400. The server 400 reserves a charging time interval 256 at the first charging point 411a of the charging station 410 according to the predicted arrival time 255.
