[0003] Usually, users need to manually plug the charging gun of the charging pile into the charging interface of the vehicle to charge the vehicle using the charging pile. This makes the charging operation of the vehicle time-consuming and laborious. At present, charging piles that can automatically align the charging gun with the charging interface and automatically plug the gun are known. However, users still need to start charging by scanning a code or manually operating the charging pile. This charging operation brings inconvenience to users.

[0004] Therefore, the prior art still has deficiencies in vehicle charging. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present application is to provide a method for starting automatic charging of a vehicle, a method for assisting automatic charging of a cloud server, and corresponding computer program products and computer devices, so as to overcome at least one of the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art.

[0006] According to a first aspect of the present application, a method for starting automatic charging of a vehicle is provided, wherein the method comprises: step S11: receiving a first notification sent by a cloud server to the vehicle, the first notification being associated with recognition of the vehicle parking in the charging parking space by means of an identification device at the charging parking space; step S12: after the vehicle receives the first notification, receiving a voice instruction for starting automatic charging issued by a user; and step S13: in response to the voice instruction for starting automatic charging issued by the user, sending a start charging instruction to a charging device at the charging parking space via the cloud server, so that the charging device performs an automatic charging operation on the vehicle.

[0007] As a result, automatic charging can be started in a convenient and quick manner. After the vehicle is parked in the charging parking space, especially when the parking has just been completed and the user is still in the vehicle, the user can start the automatic charging operation through voice commands. The user does not need to get out of the vehicle, scan a code or perform other operations on the charging device to start automatic charging. When starting automatic charging, there is no need for direct communication and / or pairing between the vehicle and the charging device by means of near field communication or the like.

[0008] In an exemplary embodiment, step S12 is performed in the following manner: in response to the first notification, a reminder about automatic charging is issued to the user in the vehicle, and a voice command to start automatic charging is waited for by the user. The timing of the vehicle issuing the reminder is particularly advantageous, that is, when parking is just completed and the user is still in the vehicle. If the reminder is issued too early, the parking operation may be affected. If the reminder is issued too late, the user may have left the vehicle and forgotten to start automatic charging.

[0009] The reminder about automatic charging is provided at least in a voice manner, thereby preventing the user from forgetting to check the meter and failing to start the automatic charging for the vehicle in time.

[0010] In an exemplary embodiment, step S12 is performed in the following manner: after receiving the first notification, it is determined whether the charging condition is met; and only when the charging condition is met, a reminder about automatic charging is issued to the user in the vehicle, and a voice command to start automatic charging issued by the user is waited for. In this way, it is possible to avoid erroneously issuing a reminder to start automatic charging to the user.

[0011] Optionally, the charging condition includes at least one of the following: if the reserved charging information is stored, the identity information of the charging parking space matches the stored reserved charging information; if the reserved charging information is stored, the current time matches the stored reserved charging information; the current power of the vehicle is lower than a predetermined power threshold; the charging mode of the vehicle matches the charging mode of the charging parking space. This helps to make the charging operation of the vehicle more convenient, fast and reliable.

[0012] In an exemplary embodiment, the cloud server includes a charging cloud server and a vehicle management cloud server which are sequentially communicatively connected between the charging device side and the vehicle side. This helps to improve data security and / or improve efficiency.

[0013] According to the second aspect of the present application, a method for assisting automatic charging of a cloud server is provided, wherein the method comprises: step S21, receiving a second notification, wherein the second notification indicates that a vehicle is identified as being parked in the charging parking space by means of an identification device at the charging parking space; step S22, after receiving the second notification, sending a first notification to the vehicle; and step S23, receiving a start charging instruction from the vehicle, and forwarding the received start charging instruction to a charging device at the charging parking space, so that the charging device performs an automatic charging operation on the vehicle. This helps to start automatic charging in a convenient and quick manner.

[0014] In an exemplary embodiment, step S22 is performed in the following manner: after receiving the second notification, determining whether the vehicle meets the charging condition; and sending the first notification to the vehicle only when the charging condition is met. This can avoid erroneously sending a reminder to the user to start automatic charging.

[0015] Optionally, the charging condition includes at least one of the following: if the reserved charging information is stored, the identity information of the charging parking space matches the stored reserved charging information; if the reserved charging information is stored, the current time matches the stored reserved charging information; the current power of the vehicle is lower than a predetermined power threshold; the charging mode of the vehicle matches the charging mode of the charging parking space. This helps to make the charging operation of the vehicle more convenient, fast and reliable.

[0038] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial technical effects to be solved by the present application clearer, the present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and multiple exemplary embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application, rather than to limit the scope of protection of the present application.

[0039] Figure 1 An application scenario of a method for starting automatic charging of a vehicle 1 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application is schematically illustrated. Figure 2 A flow chart of a method for starting automatic charging of a vehicle 1 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application is schematically shown. Figure 3 The flowchart of the method for assisting automatic charging of the cloud server 2 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application is schematically shown.

[0040] like Figure 1As shown, an identification device 31 and a charging device 32 may be provided next to the charging parking space 3. The identification device 31 and the charging device 32 may be provided separately or integrated into one. The identification device 31 and the charging device 32 may be communicatively connected to the cloud server 2. The cloud server 2 may be communicatively connected to the vehicle 1. The vehicle 1 is an electric vehicle (a pure electric vehicle or a hybrid vehicle). In order to charge using the charging device 32, the vehicle 1 may be parked in the charging parking space 3. The identification device 31 may recognize that the vehicle 1 is parked in the charging parking space 3. The charging device 32 has an automatic charging function. For example, the charging device 32 may include a robotic arm and a charging gun mounted on the robotic arm. Using the robotic arm, the charging gun can be automatically aligned with the charging interface 12 of the vehicle 1 parked in the charging parking space 3 (see Figure 6 ) and can insert the charging gun into the charging interface 12. This automatic charging operation eliminates the need for the user to manually insert the gun.

[0041] The vehicle 1 can execute a method for starting automatic charging, which includes steps S11, S12 and S13.

[0042] In step S11, a first notification sent by the cloud server 2 to the vehicle 1 is received. The first notification is associated with the recognition by the recognition device 31 at the charging parking space 3 that the vehicle 1 is parked in the charging parking space 3.

[0043] The vehicle 1 may include a communication device 11 (see Figure 6 ), the communication device 11 is configured to receive a first notification from the cloud server 2. “The first notification is associated with the recognition of the vehicle 1 parking in the charging parking space 3 by means of the recognition device 31 at the charging parking space 3” may mean: the first notification represents the recognition of the vehicle 1 parking in the charging parking space 3 by means of the recognition device 31 at the charging parking space 3, and / or the first notification is generated or sent in response to the recognition of the vehicle 1 parking in the charging parking space 3 by means of the recognition device 31 at the charging parking space 3.

[0044] The identification device 31 can particularly identify the identity information of the vehicle 1 by visual recognition, for example, by identifying the license plate number of the vehicle 1. The identification device 31 can include a camera device. Alternatively or additionally, the identification device 31 can identify the identity information of the vehicle 1 by other means, for example, by radio frequency identification of the identity information of the vehicle 1.

[0045] In step S12 , after the vehicle 1 receives the first notification, a voice command for starting automatic charging issued by the user is received.

[0046] In step S13, in response to a voice command issued by a user to start automatic charging, a start charging command is sent to the charging device 32 at the charging parking space 3 via the cloud server 2, so that the charging device 32 automatically charges the vehicle 1. The automatic charging operation may include, for example, automatic charging and charging.

[0047] Thus, automatic charging can be started in a convenient and quick manner. After the vehicle 1 is parked in the charging parking space 3, especially when the parking has just been completed and the user is still in the vehicle 1, the user can start the automatic charging operation through voice commands. The user does not need to get out of the vehicle, scan a code or perform other operations on the charging device 32 to start automatic charging. When starting automatic charging, there is no need for direct communication and / or pairing between the vehicle 1 and the charging device 32 by means of near field communication or the like.

[0048] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the method for starting automatic charging may further include step S10. In step S10, the vehicle 1 may make an appointment to charge at a specific charging parking space 3. The relevant appointment information may be stored in at least one of the vehicle 1, the vehicle management cloud server 21, the charging cloud server 22, the identification device 31, and the charging device 32. The relevant appointment information may be stored in the vehicle 1, for example. The relevant appointment information may include the identity information of the vehicle 1, the identity information of the charging parking space 3, and / or the charging time period, etc.

[0049] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the method for starting automatic charging may further include step S14. In step S14, in response to a voice command issued by a user to start automatic charging, the charging interface 12 of the vehicle 1 is turned on.

[0050] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present application, step S12 is performed in the following manner: after receiving the first notification, it is determined whether the charging condition is met; and only when the charging condition is met, a reminder about automatic charging is issued to the user in the vehicle 1, and a voice command to start automatic charging issued by the user is waited for. Thus, it is possible to avoid mistakenly issuing a reminder to the user to start automatic charging. Thus, the reliability of this convenient method for starting automatic charging can be improved.

[0051] For example, whether the charging condition is met may be determined based on the current power level of the vehicle 1 , the charging mode of the vehicle 1 , and / or the scheduled charging information of the vehicle 1 .

[0052] In particular, when the vehicle 1 has made a charging reservation for a specific charging parking space 3, the charging condition may include at least one of the following: when the reserved charging information is stored, the identity information of the charging parking space 3 matches the stored reserved charging information; when the reserved charging information is stored, the current time matches the stored reserved charging information. This helps to make the charging operation of the vehicle more convenient, fast and reliable. "The current time matches the stored reserved charging information" may, for example, mean that the current time is (slightly) earlier than the reserved charging time period or is within the charging time period.

[0053] Optionally, the charging condition may include at least one of the following: the current power of the vehicle 1 is lower than a predetermined power threshold; the charging mode of the vehicle 1 matches the charging mode of the charging parking space 3. The charging mode may include, for example, AC charging or DC charging. The predetermined power threshold is, for example, 20%. Then, only when the current power of the vehicle 1 is lower than 20%, a reminder about automatic charging is issued to the user in the vehicle 1. Thus, even if no appointment is made in advance, the user can be reminded to start automatic charging through voice commands if the charging conditions are met. After receiving such a reminder, the user can immediately start automatic charging through voice commands. This is particularly helpful in preventing the vehicle 1 from being too low in power.

[0054] like Figure 1 As shown, the cloud server 2 may include a charging cloud server 22 and a vehicle management cloud server 21 which are sequentially connected to the charging device side and the vehicle side. This helps to improve data security and / or improve efficiency.

[0055] In another embodiment, the cloud server 2 may also include only a single server or include more than three servers connected in series.

[0056] Figure 3 The method for assisting automatic charging shown can be executed, for example, by the vehicle management cloud server 21. The method for assisting automatic charging for the cloud server 2 includes steps S21, S22 and S23.

[0057] In step S21, a second notification is received, the second notification being associated with the recognition of the vehicle 1 parking in the charging parking space 3 by means of the recognition device 31 at the charging parking space 3. For example, the vehicle management cloud server 21 may receive the second notification from the charging cloud server 22. “The second notification is associated with the recognition of the vehicle 1 parking in the charging parking space 3 by means of the recognition device 31 at the charging parking space 3” may mean: the second notification represents the recognition of the vehicle 1 parking in the charging parking space 3 by means of the recognition device 31 at the charging parking space 3, and / or the second notification is generated or sent in response to the recognition of the vehicle 1 parking in the charging parking space 3 by means of the recognition device 31 at the charging parking space 3.

[0058] In step S22 , after receiving the second notification, the first notification is sent to the vehicle 1 .

[0059] In step S23 , a charge start instruction is received from the vehicle 1 , and the received charge start instruction is forwarded to the charging device 32 at the charging parking space 3 , so that the charging device 32 performs an automatic charging operation on the vehicle 1 .

[0060] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present application, step S22 may be performed in the following manner: after receiving the second notification, determining whether the charging condition is met for the vehicle 1; and sending the first notification to the vehicle 1 only when the charging condition is met. Thus, it is possible to avoid mistakenly sending a reminder to the user to start automatic charging.

[0061] For example, whether the charging condition is met may be determined based on the current power level of the vehicle 1 , the charging mode of the vehicle 1 , and / or the scheduled charging information of the vehicle 1 .

[0062] In particular, when vehicle 1 has made a charging reservation for a specific charging parking space 3, the charging conditions may include at least one of the following: when reserved charging information is stored, the identity information of the charging parking space 3 matches the stored reserved charging information; when reserved charging information is stored, the current time matches the stored reserved charging information.

[0063] Optionally, the charging condition may include at least one of the following: the current power level of the vehicle 1 is lower than a predetermined power level threshold; the charging mode of the vehicle 1 matches the charging mode of the charging parking space 3 .

[0064] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present application, step S12 can be performed in particular in the following manner: in response to the first notification, a reminder about automatic charging is issued to the user in the vehicle 1, and a voice command to start automatic charging is waited for by the user. Therefore, after the vehicle 1 is recognized to be parked in the charging parking space 3 by means of the recognition device 31 at the charging parking space 3, the vehicle 1 can be notified that the vehicle 1 has arrived at the charging parking space 3 through the first notification sent by the cloud server 2. The vehicle 1 can then remind the user that the charging parking space 3 has been reached and automatic charging can be started. The vehicle 1 reminds the user, for example, in the form of an inquiry: whether to start automatic charging. The timing of the vehicle 1 issuing the reminder is particularly advantageous, that is, when parking is just completed and the user is still in the vehicle 1. If the reminder is too early, it may affect the parking operation. If the reminder is too late, the user may have left the vehicle 1 and forgotten to start automatic charging.

[0065] The reminder about automatic charging is provided in particular at least by voice, so as to prevent the user from forgetting to check the meter and failing to start the automatic charging for the vehicle 1 in time. Alternatively or additionally, the reminder about automatic charging can be provided by text and / or images. “Waiting for a voice command issued by the user to start automatic charging” includes activating the voice interaction system 13 of the vehicle 1 (see Figure 6 ). The voice interaction system 13 is configured to enable interaction with the user in a voice manner. The voice interaction system 13 may include a voice output device, which is configured to play voice information. The voice interaction system 13 may also include a voice input device, such as a microphone, capable of receiving voice commands issued by the user.

[0066] Figure 4 A charging parking space 3 in an exemplary embodiment according to the present application is schematically shown.

[0067] like Figure 4 As shown, an identification device 31 and a charging device 32 are installed at the charging parking space 3. In addition, in this embodiment, a locking device 33, such as a ground lock, is installed at the charging parking space 3.

[0068] When the vehicle 1 drives toward the charging parking space 3, the identification device 31 can identify the identity information of the vehicle 1 to be driven into the charging parking space 3. According to the identified identity information of the vehicle 1, it can be determined whether the vehicle 1 to be driven into the charging parking space 3 is a predetermined vehicle 1, such as a reserved vehicle. A reserved vehicle means a vehicle that has been reserved for charging at the charging parking space 3, and in particular, a vehicle that has been reserved for charging at the charging parking space 3 during a corresponding time period. A reserved vehicle may also mean a vehicle 1 that has been associated with the charging parking space 3. For example, the vehicle 1 has a long-term or short-term lease relationship or binding relationship with the charging parking space 3. If the vehicle 1 to be driven into the charging parking space 3 is a predetermined vehicle 1, the locking device 33 is opened to allow the vehicle 1 to enter the charging parking space 3.

[0069] Figure 5 A timing diagram of an automatic charging system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application is schematically shown.

[0070] The automatic charging system may include a vehicle 1, a vehicle management cloud server 21, a charging cloud server 22, and an identification device 31 and a charging device 32 located at a charging parking space 3. The vehicle 1 may be communicatively connected to the vehicle management cloud server 21. The vehicle management cloud server 21 may be communicatively connected to the charging cloud server 22. The charging cloud server 22 may be communicatively connected to the identification device 31 and the charging device 32. The vehicle 1 does not need to communicate directly with the identification device 31 and the charging device 32.

[0071] In step S501, the vehicle 1 may reserve a specific charging parking space 3 for charging. The relevant reservation information may be stored in at least one of the vehicle 1, the vehicle management cloud server 21, the charging cloud server 22, the identification device 31 and the charging device 32, for example.

[0072] In step S502 , the vehicle 1 drives toward the charging parking space 3 .

[0073] In step S503 , the identification device 31 may identify the identity information of the vehicle 1 to be driven into the charging parking space 3 , and determine that the vehicle 1 to be driven into the charging parking space 3 is a reserved vehicle 1 . Then, the vehicle 1 may be allowed to drive into the charging parking space 3 .

[0074] In step S504 , the vehicle 1 enters the charging parking space 3 .

[0075] In step S505 , the recognition device 31 may recognize that the reserved vehicle 1 enters the charging parking space 3 .

[0076] Then, in step S506, the recognition device 31 sends the vehicle arrival information to the charging cloud server 22. The vehicle arrival information indicates that the recognition device 31 recognizes that the reserved vehicle 1 enters the charging parking space 3.

[0077] In step S507 , the charging cloud server 22 sends a second notification to the vehicle management cloud server 21 in response to the received vehicle arrival information.

[0078] In step S508 , the vehicle management cloud server 21 sends the first notification to the vehicle 1 in response to the received second notification.

[0079] In step S509 , the vehicle 1 issues a reminder about automatic charging to the user in the vehicle 1 in response to the received first notification, and waits for a voice command issued by the user to start automatic charging.

[0080] In step S510 , in response to a voice command issued by a user to start automatic charging, the vehicle 1 sends a start charging command to the vehicle management cloud server 21 .

[0081] In step S511, the vehicle management cloud server 21 forwards the received start charging instruction to the charging server.

[0082] In step S512 , the charging server forwards the received charging start instruction to the charging device 32 at the charging parking space 3 .

[0083] In step S513 , the charging device 32 performs an automatic charging operation on the vehicle 1 in response to the received start charging instruction.
