Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a method and system for managing battery charging information of an electric vehicle, and more particularly to a method and system for determining whether an abnormality occurs in the battery charging state of an electric vehicle. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, with the rise of environmental awareness and the advancement of electric vehicle technology, the development of electric vehicles powered by electricity to replace traditional vehicles powered by fossil fuels has gradually become an important goal in the automotive field, making electric vehicles more and more popular. In order to increase the range and willingness to use electric vehicles, many countries or cities have begun to plan to set up charging stations and battery energy stations in public places to provide electric vehicles and / or electric motorcycles for charging or battery replacement, making the use of electric vehicles more convenient.

[0003] Generally speaking, batteries are one of the most important costs for the industry, and rechargeable batteries have a limited life cycle. For some electric vehicles, such as electric motorcycles, when the battery power is insufficient, the power of individual batteries varies greatly, and / or the life cycle of individual batteries varies greatly, if the user uses a combination of these batteries to start the electric vehicle, it will affect the function or life of the vehicle or the battery itself.

[0004] On the other hand, the high cost of batteries is also one of the main reasons for the high service costs of electric motorcycles. If different charging modes can be planned according to user needs, and even different suppliers can be introduced to join the electric vehicle ecosystem, it may be possible to moderately reduce the overall service costs of electric motorcycles and further increase users' willingness to adopt electric motorcycles. In some cases, if users can charge at home, operators can design more favorable plans to encourage users to adopt electric motorcycles to reduce the use of public charging equipment and thus disperse the power consumption pressure of the power grid. However, in this case, it is necessary to obtain the user's use of the battery and charging conditions in order to avoid abnormal conditions during the user's charging operation. Summary of the invention

[0005] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a battery charging information management method for an electric vehicle.

[0006] Therefore, the battery charging information management method of an electric vehicle of the present invention is applicable to an electric vehicle. First, the electric vehicle is used to record a mileage corresponding to the electric vehicle. Next, a power replenishment device is used to perform a charging operation corresponding to a battery, wherein the battery is used to provide electrical energy to the electric vehicle, and the charging operation includes a charging operation or a battery exchange operation. The battery or the power replenishment device is used to record a charging record data corresponding to the charging operation, wherein the charging record data at least includes a battery identification data of the battery and a power replenishment information. Afterwards, a remote server is used to obtain the charging record data of the battery and the mileage of the electric vehicle, and it is determined whether the electric vehicle has an abnormal charging state based on the charging record data and the mileage of the electric vehicle.

[0007] In some embodiments, the remote server calculates a consumed ampere-hour according to the mileage of the electric vehicle, and determines whether the power replenishment information falls within a predetermined tolerance interval of the consumed ampere-hour according to the consumed ampere-hour. When the power replenishment information does not fall within the predetermined tolerance interval of the consumed ampere-hour, the remote server determines that the electric vehicle is in the abnormal power replenishment state.

[0045] Figure 4 A battery charging information management method for an electric vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0046] First, as in step S410, the electric vehicle is used to record a mileage corresponding to the electric vehicle. It is worth noting that in some embodiments, the aforementioned mileage may be the total mileage of the electric vehicle, and / or the mileage between each charging operation of the battery. Next, as in step S420, a power replenishment device is used to perform a charging operation corresponding to a battery, wherein the charging operation may include a charging operation or a battery exchange operation. Similarly, in some embodiments, the power replenishment device may include an electric vehicle, a household charger, and / or a battery energy station. As in step S430, the battery or the power replenishment device is used to record a charging record data corresponding to the charging operation. In some embodiments, the charging record data at least includes a battery identification data of the corresponding battery, a power replenishment information, and / or a device identification data of the power replenishment device. It must be emphasized that, in response to the flexibility of application requirements, the charging type can be diversified, so the device identification data of the power replenishment device is relatively important. By managing the device identification data of the power replenishment device, more diversified charging type applications can be provided. For example, the battery may record a charging mode data applicable to the corresponding user. The charging mode data may record the type of power replenishment allowed by the battery, such as charging in the electric vehicle, charging at a home charger, charging at a battery energy station, and battery exchange at a battery energy station or a combination thereof. In the charging operation, the charging mode data of the battery and the device identification data of the power replenishment device may be used to determine whether the battery can be recharged on the power replenishment device. Next, as in step S440, a remote server is used to obtain the charging record data of the corresponding battery and the mileage of the corresponding electric vehicle. Afterwards, as in step S450, it is determined whether the electric vehicle has an abnormal charging state based on the charging record data and the mileage of the corresponding electric vehicle. It is worth noting that in some embodiments, when the electric vehicle has an abnormal charging state, it may indicate that the battery charging situation cannot be correctly recorded or obtained. In some embodiments, when the electric vehicle has an abnormal charging state, it may indicate that the user may be fraudulent in the charging operation of the battery. For example, if the user modifies the charging record data by cracking, it may cause the actual mileage of the electric vehicle to be inconsistent with the charging record data of the corresponding battery.

[0047] Figure 5 A method for determining an abnormal state of supplementary power according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0048] First, as in step S510, the remote server calculates a consumed ampere-hour (Ah) based on the mileage of the electric vehicle. It is noted that, as mentioned above, the mileage can be the total mileage of the electric vehicle and / or the mileage between each recharging operation of the battery. Then, as in step S520, it is determined whether the power replenishment information falls within a predetermined tolerance range of the consumed ampere-hour based on the consumed ampere-hour. When the power replenishment information falls within the predetermined tolerance range of the consumed ampere-hour (e.g. Figure 5 In other words, the electric vehicle does not have the abnormal state of replenishment. When the power replenishment information does not fall within the predetermined tolerance range of the consumed ampere-hour (such as Figure 5 , such as Figure 5 As shown in step S540, the remote server determines that the electric vehicle is in the abnormal state of charging. Then, as shown in step S550, the remote server generates a warning notification, or transmits the warning notification to a user device bound to the battery identification data via a network.

[0049] Figure 6 The method for collecting the charging record data according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. In this embodiment, the charging record data in the battery can be transmitted to the electric vehicle, and then transmitted to the remote server by the electric vehicle.

[0050] First, as in step S610, the battery is electrically coupled to an electric vehicle, such as the electric motorcycle, to provide electrical energy to the electric vehicle. As in step S620, the charging record data corresponding to the battery is transmitted to the electric vehicle. As previously mentioned, when the charging operation of the battery is performed, the charging record data corresponding to the charging operation will be recorded and stored in the storage unit of the battery. Then, as in step S630, the electric vehicle transmits the charging record data and the mileage of the electric vehicle to a remote server via a network. It is worth noting that in some embodiments, the electric vehicle can directly transmit the charging record data and the mileage of the electric vehicle to the remote server via the network, or connect to a mobile device via a network, such as Bluetooth or Wi-Fi network, and transmit the charging record data and the mileage to the remote server via the mobile device. It should be noted that, in some embodiments, in addition to a battery identification data corresponding to the battery, a device identification data of the power replenishment device, and / or a power replenishment information, the power replenishment record data may further include a vehicle identification code corresponding to the electric vehicle and a user identification data corresponding to the battery.

[0051] Figure 7 A method for collecting power replenishment record data according to another embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0052] First, in step S710, a wireless connection unit on the battery is used to transmit the charging record data to the remote server via a wireless network. In addition, in step S720, the electric vehicle is used to transmit the mileage to the remote server via a network. The electric vehicle can directly transmit the mileage to the remote server via the network, or connect to a mobile device via the network and transmit the mileage to the remote server via the mobile device.

[0053] It should be noted that after receiving the charging record data and the driving mileage, the remote server can perform related applications, such as determining whether the electric vehicle is in the abnormal state of charging.

[0054] Therefore, the battery charging information management method and system of the electric vehicle in this case can determine whether the battery charging status of the electric vehicle is abnormal, thereby increasing the accuracy of the charging record data collection and avoiding fraudulent behavior.

The program code may also be transmitted by some transmission media, such as wires or cables, optical fibers, or any transmission mode, wherein when the program code is received, loaded and executed by a machine, such as a computer, the machine becomes a device for participating in the present invention. When implemented on a general-purpose processing unit, the program code combines with the processing unit to provide a unique device that operates similarly to application-specific logic circuits.
