Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of vehicle charging, and in particular to a vehicle charging method, a vehicle charging device, an electronic device, a computer-readable storage medium and a computer program product. Background Art

[0002] With the popularity of electric vehicles, the matching charging piles are also gradually popularized. When a user's electric vehicle needs to be charged, the user drives the electric vehicle into the charging position, and then inserts the charging gun of the charging pile into the charging socket of the electric vehicle for charging.

[0003] In the prior art, due to the wide variety of electric vehicles and the large number of types of charging ports and charging guns for electric vehicles, in order to avoid incorrect charging and improve charging safety, it is necessary to verify the vehicle identification code at first. That is, after the user plugs in the gun, the charging pile communicates with the vehicle to obtain the vehicle identification code reported by the vehicle for authentication. If it passes, charging will be started. If it fails, charging will not be possible. In addition, if various unexpected factors make it impossible to report the vehicle identification code (for example, the charging gun cannot receive information, or the electric vehicle cannot send information), charging will also be unable to start. This causes a lot of unnecessary troubles and affects the user's usability and the speed of charging. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of at least some of the problems existing in the above prior art, an object of the present invention is to enable a vehicle to be charged conveniently and quickly, avoiding the need to start charging by verifying a vehicle identification code, thereby improving the convenience of vehicle charging.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, in a first aspect, the present invention provides a vehicle charging method. The vehicle charging method comprises: obtaining the license plate number of a vehicle parked in a charging position; based on the obtained license plate number, calling a license plate authentication service from a cooperating vehicle company to determine whether the vehicle belongs to the cooperating vehicle company; if the vehicle is determined to belong to the cooperating vehicle company, charging is started after detecting that a charging gun is inserted into the charging socket of the vehicle.

[0006] In this technical solution, the license plate number of the vehicle parked in the charging position is obtained, and based on the obtained license plate number, the license plate authentication service is called from the cooperating car company to determine whether the vehicle belongs to the cooperating car company. If the vehicle is determined to be a cooperating car company, charging is started after the charging gun is detected to be inserted into the charging socket of the vehicle. In this way, based on the pre-cooperation between the charging station and the cooperating car company, the obtained license plate number is used to directly identify whether the vehicle belongs to the cooperating car company to determine whether the conditions for starting charging are met, thereby avoiding starting charging by reporting and verifying the vehicle identification code. Therefore, charging can be convenient and fast, improving the convenience of vehicle charging.

[0007] In some implementations, the license plate number is identified by a camera at the charging station.

[0008] In some implementations, the plug-and-charge status of the vehicle is obtained from the cooperating vehicle manufacturer through the license plate authentication service, and it is determined whether the plug-and-charge status is normal. If normal, charging is started after detecting that the charging gun is inserted into the charging socket.

[0009] In some implementations, after determining that the plug-and-charge state is normal, the license plate number is obtained again to determine whether the license plate number obtained again has changed. If it is determined that the license plate number remains unchanged, charging is started after detecting that the charging gun is inserted into the charging socket.

[0010] In some implementations, if it is determined that the license plate number has changed, the license plate authentication service is re-invoked from the cooperating vehicle manufacturer.

[0011] In some implementations, if it is determined that the license plate number remains unchanged, it is determined whether the charging position is occupied. If the charging position is occupied, charging is started after detecting that the charging gun is inserted into the charging socket.

[0012] In some implementations, after detecting that the charging gun is inserted into the charging socket, a charging start instruction is issued and a charging order is created.

[0013] In some implementations, during charging, it is determined whether the information reported in the charging order meets the charging requirements, and if so, charging is continued.

[0014] In some implementations, the information reported in the charging order includes a reported license plate number, and a determination is made as to whether the reported license plate number is the same as the acquired license plate number. If they are the same, charging is continued.

[0015] In some implementations, after the reported license plate number is identical to the acquired license plate number, it is determined whether the predetermined number of digits of the reported vehicle identification code complies with the vehicle identification code rules of the cooperating vehicle manufacturer. If so, charging is maintained.

[0016] In some implementations, the information reported in the charging order includes a reported vehicle identification code, and it is determined whether a predetermined number of digits of the reported vehicle identification code complies with the vehicle identification code rules of the cooperating vehicle manufacturer. If so, charging is maintained.

[0017] In some implementations, it is determined whether the first three digits of the reported vehicle identification code comply with the vehicle identification code rules of the cooperating vehicle manufacturer.

If the vehicle is determined to be a cooperating car company, charging is started after the charging gun is detected to be inserted into the charging socket of the vehicle. In this way, based on the pre-cooperation between the charging station and the cooperating car company, the obtained license plate number is used to directly identify whether the vehicle belongs to the cooperating car company to determine whether the conditions for starting charging are met, thereby avoiding starting charging by reporting and verifying the vehicle identification code.

[0035] In order to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, the following briefly introduces the drawings required for describing the technical solution of the present invention, but it is obvious that the following drawings are only illustrative and exemplary, and the technical solution of the present invention includes but is not limited to the examples shown in the drawings. Therefore, those skilled in the art can also obtain other replacements or deformations based on these drawings without paying creative work.

[0036] Figure 1 is a flow chart exemplarily illustrating a vehicle charging method of the present invention;

[0037] Figure 2 is a schematic diagram exemplarily showing a vehicle charging device of the present invention;

[0038] Figure 3 is a schematic diagram exemplarily showing an electronic device of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0039] The technical solution of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. What is described here is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and those skilled in the art can think of other ways to implement the present invention based on the preferred embodiment, and the other ways also fall within the scope of the present invention.

[0040] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a vehicle charging method. Figure 1 The vehicle charging method includes obtaining the license plate number of a vehicle parked in a charging position; based on the obtained license plate number, calling a license plate authentication service from a cooperating vehicle manufacturer to determine whether the vehicle belongs to the cooperating vehicle manufacturer; if the vehicle is determined to belong to the cooperating vehicle manufacturer, charging is started after detecting that a charging gun is inserted into a charging socket of the vehicle.

[0041] In the vehicle charging method, the license plate number of the vehicle parked in the charging position is obtained, and based on the obtained license plate number, the license plate authentication service is called from the cooperating car company to determine whether the vehicle belongs to the cooperating car company. If the vehicle is determined to be a cooperating car company, charging is started after the charging gun is detected to be inserted into the charging socket of the vehicle. In this way, based on the pre-cooperation between the charging station and the cooperating car company, the obtained license plate number is used to directly identify whether the vehicle belongs to the cooperating car company to determine whether the conditions for starting charging are met, thereby avoiding starting charging by reporting and verifying the vehicle identification code. Therefore, charging can be convenient and fast, improving the convenience of vehicle charging.

[0042] In the vehicle charging method of the present invention, the license plate number of the vehicle can be obtained in a variety of ways. However, no matter which method is used, as long as the license plate number of the vehicle parked in the charging position can be obtained. For example, in one way to obtain the license plate, the license plate number is recognized by a camera at the charging position. In this way, when the vehicle enters the recognition range of the camera at the charging position, the camera will automatically recognize the license plate number, thereby avoiding the user from entering the license plate number and improving the convenience of use. The camera can be set on the charging pile, or the camera can be set on other support frames independent of the charging pile. In addition, the number of cameras can be one or more.

[0043] In addition, in another way to obtain the license plate, the user can manually enter the license plate number. For example, the user can enter the license plate number on a touch screen at the charging position, which can be set on the charging pile or can be set on other support frames independent of the charging pile. Alternatively, the user can enter the license plate number on a mobile terminal, and the user can open a related application on the mobile terminal to enter the license plate number in the application page. The mobile terminal can be a mobile phone, a tablet, a notebook computer, etc. Alternatively, the user can enter the license plate number on the central control screen of the vehicle, and the user can open a related application on the central control screen to enter the license plate number in the application page.

[0044] In addition, in order to improve charging safety, in some implementations, the vehicle charging method further includes obtaining the plug-and-charge status of the vehicle from the cooperating vehicle manufacturer through the license plate authentication service, and then determining whether the plug-and-charge status is normal. If normal, charging is started after detecting that the charging gun is inserted into the charging socket. In this way, after determining that the vehicle belongs to a cooperating vehicle manufacturer, if the plug-and-charge status of the vehicle is abnormal (for example, not activated, or activated but with a fault, etc.), charging is not allowed (for example, no processing is performed) or the user is reminded, for example, the user is reminded that charging is impossible due to a problem with the plug-and-charge status, or the user is reminded that there is a serious safety risk if the user continues to force charging, thereby avoiding charging hazards and effectively improving charging safety.

[0045] In addition, in practice, in some cases, the vehicle may leave after a short time after parking in the charging position, or in other cases, the vehicle will pass through most of the charging position. Therefore, the vehicle charging method also includes determining that the plug-and-charge state is normal, obtaining the license plate number again, and determining whether the license plate number obtained again has changed. If the license plate number is determined to remain unchanged, charging is started after the charging gun is detected to be inserted into the charging socket. For example, the license plate number can be scanned by a camera. When the camera continuously recognizes the same license plate number, it is determined that the license plate number remains unchanged. When the camera does not continuously recognize the same license plate number or recognizes other license plate numbers, it is determined that the license plate number has changed. Or, for example, the user can be asked to enter the license plate number twice to determine that the license plate number remains unchanged. When the user does not enter the license plate number twice, it is determined that the license plate number has changed. In this way, it can be further determined that the vehicle needs to be charged at this charging position, thereby improving the safety of charging.

[0046] In addition, in some implementations, if it is determined that the license plate number has changed, the user can be reminded to park the vehicle in a designated location or not take any charging action. Alternatively, in some implementations, if it is determined that the license plate number has changed, the license plate authentication service is re-called from the cooperating car manufacturer. In this way, after the vehicle stops at the charging position, the license plate authentication service is re-called from the cooperating car manufacturer for charging, or the license plate authentication service is called from the cooperating car manufacturer for charging for other vehicles parked in the charging position.

[0047] In addition, in some embodiments, the vehicle charging method further includes determining whether the charging position is occupied if it is determined that the license plate number remains unchanged, and if the charging position is occupied, charging is started after detecting that the charging gun is inserted into the charging socket. For example, the license plate number or the shape of the vehicle parked in the charging position can be scanned by a camera, and when the camera further continuously recognizes the same license plate number or continuously scans the same vehicle shape, it is determined that the charging position is occupied. Or, for example, the user can be asked to enter the license plate number three times to determine that the charging position is occupied. This can further determine that the vehicle needs to be charged at this charging position, thereby improving the safety of charging.

[0048] In addition, in some embodiments, charging can be started after detecting that the charging gun is inserted into the charging socket of the vehicle. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the vehicle charging method further includes issuing a charging start instruction and creating a charging order after detecting that the charging gun is inserted into the charging socket. After the charging start instruction is issued, the charging pile charges the vehicle. In addition, the charging order can be displayed on at least one of the display screen of the charging pile, the central control screen of the vehicle, and the mobile terminal. In this way, users can view various real-time charging information anytime and anywhere, which improves user experience.

[0049] In addition, in some embodiments, in order to further improve the safety of the charging process, the vehicle charging method also uses some auxiliary verification. For example, in some embodiments, see Figure 1 The vehicle charging method also includes determining whether the information reported by the charging order meets the charging requirements during charging, and if so, maintaining charging, and if not, stopping charging.

[0050] In the vehicle charging method of the present invention, the information reported by the charging order can be of various types, but no matter which type is used, as long as it can further confirm that the charging vehicle continues to meet the charging requirements during the charging process. Figure 1 The information reported in the charging order includes the reported license plate number, and it is determined whether the reported license plate number is the same as the acquired license plate number. If they are the same, charging is continued. For example, after the charging gun and the charging port are plugged in, the vehicle's license plate number information can be sent to the charging pile, and the processor of the charging pile can compare the received license plate number with the previously acquired license plate number to determine whether they are the same. If they are different, charging is stopped.

[0051] Further, in another type, reference Figure 1 The vehicle charging method also includes determining whether the number of digits of the reported vehicle identification code meets the vehicle identification code rules of the cooperating vehicle manufacturer after the reported license plate number is the same as the obtained license plate number, and if so, continuing charging. For example, after the charging gun and the charging port are plugged in, the vehicle identification code information of the vehicle can be sent to the charging pile, and the processor of the charging pile can compare the number of digits of the received vehicle identification code with the vehicle identification code rules of the cooperating vehicle manufacturer, and stop charging if they do not meet.

[0052] Alternatively, in another type, reference Figure 1 In the vehicle charging method, the information reported by the charging order includes the reported vehicle identification code, and it is determined whether the predetermined number of digits of the reported vehicle identification code meets the vehicle identification code rules of the cooperating vehicle manufacturer. If so, charging is continued. For example, after the charging gun and the charging port are plugged in, the vehicle identification code information of the vehicle can be sent to the charging pile, and the processor of the charging pile can compare the predetermined number of digits of the received vehicle identification code with the vehicle identification code rules of the cooperating vehicle manufacturer. If they do not meet, charging is stopped.

[0053] Of course, the predetermined number of digits of the vehicle identification code can be selected and set according to actual conditions. For example, in some embodiments, it is determined whether the first three digits of the reported vehicle identification code meet the vehicle identification code rules of the cooperating vehicle manufacturer. Alternatively, in other embodiments, it is determined whether the first four digits or other number of digits of the reported vehicle identification code meet the vehicle identification code rules of the cooperating vehicle manufacturer.

[0054] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object of the present invention, in a second aspect, the present invention provides a vehicle charging device. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The vehicle charging device includes a charging gun, a license plate number acquisition unit and a processing control module, wherein the license plate number acquisition unit is configured to acquire the license plate number of a vehicle parked in a charging position; the processing control module is configured to call a license plate authentication service from a cooperating vehicle enterprise based on the acquired license plate number to determine whether the vehicle belongs to the cooperating vehicle enterprise, and after determining that the vehicle belongs to the cooperating vehicle enterprise, start charging after detecting that the charging gun is inserted into the charging socket of the vehicle.

[0055] In the vehicle charging device, the license plate number of the vehicle parked in the charging position is obtained, and based on the obtained license plate number, the license plate authentication service is called from the cooperating car company to determine whether the vehicle belongs to the cooperating car company. If the vehicle is determined to be a cooperating car company, charging is started after the charging gun is detected to be inserted into the charging socket of the vehicle. In this way, based on the pre-cooperation between the charging station and the cooperating car company, the obtained license plate number is used to directly identify whether the vehicle belongs to the cooperating car company to determine whether the conditions for starting charging are met, thereby avoiding starting charging by reporting and verifying the vehicle identification code. Therefore, charging can be convenient and fast, improving the convenience of vehicle charging.

[0056] In the vehicle charging device of the present invention, the license plate number acquisition unit can be of various types, but no matter what type is adopted, as long as the license plate number of the vehicle parked in the charging position can be acquired. For example, in one type of license plate number acquisition unit, the license plate number acquisition unit includes at least one camera. In this way, when the vehicle enters the recognition range of the camera at the charging position, the camera will automatically recognize the license plate number, thereby avoiding the user from entering the license plate number, and improving the convenience of use. The camera can be set on the charging pile, or the camera can be set on other support frames independent of the charging pile. In addition, the number of cameras can be one or more.

[0057] Alternatively, in other types of license plate number acquisition units, the user can manually enter the license plate number on the license plate number acquisition unit. For example, the license plate number acquisition unit may include a touch screen at the charging position, so that the user can enter the license plate number on the touch screen, and the touch screen may be set on the charging pile or may be set on other support frames independent of the charging pile. Optionally, the license plate number acquisition unit may include a mobile terminal, and the user may open a related application on the mobile terminal to enter the license plate number in the application page. The mobile terminal may be a mobile phone, a tablet, a notebook computer, etc. Optionally, the license plate number acquisition unit may include a central control screen of the vehicle, and the user may open a related application on the central control screen to enter the license plate number in the application page.

[0058] In addition, in order to improve charging safety, in some implementations, in the vehicle charging device, the processing control module is configured to obtain the plug-and-charge status of the vehicle from the cooperating car manufacturer through the license plate authentication service, and determine whether the plug-and-charge status is normal. If it is normal, charging is started after detecting that the charging gun is inserted into the charging socket. In this way, after determining that the vehicle belongs to a cooperating car manufacturer, if the plug-and-charge status of the vehicle is abnormal (for example, not activated, or activated but with a fault, etc.), charging is not allowed or the user is reminded, for example, the user is reminded that charging is impossible due to a problem with the plug-and-charge status, or the user is reminded that there is a serious safety risk if the user continues to force charging, thereby avoiding charging hazards and effectively improving charging safety.

[0059] In addition, in practice, in some cases, the vehicle may leave after a short time after parking in the charging position, or in other cases, the vehicle will pass through most of the area of ​​the charging position. Therefore, in the vehicle charging device, the processing control module is configured to obtain the license plate again after determining that the plug-and-charge state is normal, and determine whether the license plate number obtained again has changed. If the license plate number is determined to remain unchanged, charging is started after the charging gun is detected to be inserted into the charging socket. For example, the license plate number can be scanned by a camera. When the camera continuously recognizes the same license plate number, it is determined that the license plate number remains unchanged. When the camera does not continuously recognize the same license plate number or recognizes other license plate numbers, it is determined that the license plate number has changed. Or, for example, the user can be required to enter the license plate number twice to determine that the license plate number remains unchanged. When the user does not enter the license plate number twice, it is determined that the license plate number has changed. In this way, it can be further determined that the vehicle needs to be charged at this charging position, thereby improving the safety of charging.

[0060] In addition, in some embodiments, if it is determined that the license plate number has changed, the user can be reminded to park the vehicle in a designated location or not take any charging action. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the processing control module is configured to call the license plate authentication service from the cooperating car manufacturer again if it is determined that the license plate number has changed. In this way, the vehicle will call the license plate authentication service from the cooperating car manufacturer again for charging after it stops at the charging position, or call the license plate authentication service from the cooperating car manufacturer for charging for other vehicles parked in the charging position.

[0061] In addition, in some embodiments, in the vehicle charging device, the processing control module is configured to determine whether the charging position is occupied if it is determined that the license plate number remains unchanged. If the charging position is occupied, charging is started after detecting that the charging gun is inserted into the charging socket. For example, the license plate number or the shape of the vehicle parked in the charging position can be scanned by a camera, and the charging position is determined to be occupied when the camera further continuously recognizes the same license plate number or continuously scans the same vehicle shape. Or, for example, the user can be required to enter the license plate number three times to determine that the charging position is occupied. This can further determine that the vehicle needs to be charged at this charging position, thereby improving the safety of charging.

[0062] In addition, in some embodiments, charging can be started when the charging gun is detected to be inserted into the charging socket of the vehicle. Alternatively, in some embodiments, in the vehicle charging device, the processing control module is configured to issue a charging start instruction and create a charging order after detecting that the charging gun is inserted into the charging socket. After the charging start instruction is issued, the charging pile charges the vehicle. In addition, the charging order can be displayed on at least one of the display screen of the charging pile, the central control screen of the vehicle, and the mobile terminal. In this way, users can view various real-time charging information anytime and anywhere, which improves user experience.

[0063] In addition, in some embodiments, in order to further improve the safety of the charging process, the vehicle charging device also uses some auxiliary verification. For example, in some embodiments, the processing control module is configured to determine whether the information reported by the charging order meets the charging requirements during charging, and if so, keep charging, and if not, stop charging.

[0064] In the vehicle charging device of the present invention, the information reported by the charging order can be of various types, but no matter which type is used, as long as it can further confirm that the charging vehicle continues to meet the charging requirements during the charging process. Figure 1 The information reported by the charging order includes the reported license plate number, and the processing control module is configured to determine whether the reported license plate number is the same as the acquired license plate number, and if they are the same, charging is continued. For example, after the charging gun and the charging port are plugged in, the vehicle's license plate number information can be sent to the charging pile, and the processor of the charging pile can compare the received license plate number with the previously acquired license plate number to determine whether they are the same, and if they are different, charging is stopped.

[0065] Further, in another type, reference Figure 1 In the vehicle charging device, the processing control module is configured to determine whether the number of digits of the reported vehicle identification code meets the vehicle identification code rules of the cooperating car manufacturer after the reported license plate number is the same as the obtained license plate number, and if so, keep charging. For example, after the charging gun and the charging port are plugged in, the vehicle identification code information of the vehicle can be sent to the charging pile, and the processor of the charging pile can compare the number of digits of the received vehicle identification code with the vehicle identification code rules of the cooperating car manufacturer, and stop charging if they do not meet.

[0066] Alternatively, in another type, reference Figure 1In the vehicle charging device, the information reported by the charging order includes the reported vehicle identification code, and the processing control module is configured to determine whether the predetermined number of digits of the reported vehicle identification code meets the vehicle identification code rules of the cooperating car manufacturer, and if so, keep charging. For example, after the charging gun and the charging port are plugged in, the vehicle identification code information of the vehicle can be sent to the charging pile, and the processor of the charging pile can compare the predetermined number of digits of the received vehicle identification code with the vehicle identification code rules of the cooperating car manufacturer, and stop charging if they do not meet.

[0067] Of course, the predetermined number of digits of the vehicle identification code can be selected and set according to actual conditions. For example, in some embodiments, the processing control module is configured to determine whether the first three digits of the reported vehicle identification code meet the vehicle identification code rules of the automobile manufacturer. Alternatively, in other embodiments, the processing control module is configured to determine whether the first four digits or other number of digits of the reported vehicle identification code meet the vehicle identification code rules of the cooperating automobile manufacturer.
