[0050] Research has found that, at present, most charging piles rely on network connections with charging management platforms to complete functions such as user identity authentication, payment confirmation, and real-time monitoring of charging status. However, when the charging pile is offline, it cannot communicate with the cloud platform, thus hindering the normal process of user identity authentication and payment confirmation. During the charging process, the charging data in the offline state cannot be uploaded to the management platform in real time, which may cause the billing information to be lost or incomplete.

[0051] Based on the above research, the present disclosure provides a charging pile offline charging control method, device and electronic device, which responds to the user's charging request and determines the communication status of the charging pile. If the charging pile is in an offline state, a Bluetooth mode switching request is sent to the user; in response to the Bluetooth communication connection established between the user and the charging pile, the charging pile is controlled to start charging and collect charging status information in real time according to the offline charging instruction sent by the user; during the charging process, if the charging pile is still in an offline state, the neighboring charging piles that are networked with the current charging pile and are in an online state are screened, and the charging status information is sent to the charging management platform through the neighboring charging piles; after charging, the charging bill information is generated, and if the charging pile is still in an offline state, the charging bill information is sent to the charging management platform through the neighboring charging piles. When the charging pile is disconnected from the network, the user's charging request response can be flexibly and efficiently realized, thereby improving the user experience.

[0052] To facilitate understanding of this embodiment, a charging pile offline charging control method disclosed in the embodiment of the present disclosure is first introduced in detail. The execution subject of the charging pile offline charging control method provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure is generally a computer device with certain computing capabilities, and the computer device includes, for example: a terminal device or a server or other processing device, and the terminal device can be a user equipment (User Equipment, UE), a mobile device, a user terminal, a terminal, a cellular phone, a cordless phone, a personal digital assistant (Personal Digital Assistant, PDA), a handheld device, a computing device, a vehicle-mounted device, a wearable device, etc. In some possible implementations, the charging pile offline charging control method can be implemented by a processor calling a computer-readable instruction stored in a memory.

[0053] See also Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a charging pile offline charging control method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, wherein the method includes steps S101 to S104, wherein:

[0054] S101, responding to a charging request from a user and determining the communication status of a charging pile, and sending a Bluetooth mode switching request to the user if the charging pile is in an offline state.

[0055] In the specific implementation, after the user initiates a charging request, the charging operation is determined by quickly judging the network communication status of the charging pile. When the charging pile is offline, the system can promptly notify the user to switch to Bluetooth mode, thereby ensuring the smooth progress of the charging operation.

[0056] Specifically, in response to a charging request initiated by a user by scanning the QR code on the charging pile through a mobile terminal, the device code of the charging pile is obtained; the heartbeat packets sent to the charging management platform by the corresponding charging pile at a preset frequency are monitored in real time according to the device code; if it is monitored that the charging management platform has continuously lost a preset number of communication detection heartbeat packets, it is determined that the charging pile is offline; a Bluetooth mode switching request is sent to the user to prompt the user to turn on the Bluetooth mode and establish a Bluetooth communication connection with the charging pile.

[0057] Here, the user scans the QR code on the charging pile through the charging application (APP) on the mobile terminal (such as a smart phone). The mobile terminal obtains the device code of the charging pile (the identity information that uniquely identifies the charging pile) through the QR code, and the user's charging request is sent to the charging management platform through the mobile terminal.

[0058] Among them, the charging pile and the charging management platform communicate regularly through heartbeat packets, for example, a heartbeat packet is sent every 30 seconds. The charging management platform will record the heartbeat packet reception status of each charging pile. If a preset number (such as 3) of heartbeat packets are lost continuously, the management platform will determine that the charging pile is offline.

[0059] Furthermore, when the charging pile is determined to be offline, the charging management platform sends a notification message to the user, such as "The current network of the charging pile is unavailable, please turn on the Bluetooth mode for offline charging." Optionally, the content of the prompt message can be: prompting the user to turn on the Bluetooth function of the mobile phone and get close to the charging pile to establish a connection via Bluetooth, or providing operation instructions, such as showing how to start the Bluetooth mode and how to complete pairing through the APP.

[0060] Here, the user turns on the Bluetooth of the mobile phone according to the prompts and allows the APP to access the Bluetooth permissions. The APP locates and connects to the designated charging pile Bluetooth module through the device code of the charging pile. After successfully establishing the Bluetooth communication connection, the APP will automatically switch to the offline charging mode and prompt the user to continue the operation.

[0061] Preferably, Bluetooth communication needs to use an encryption protocol (such as AES encryption) to ensure data transmission security and support a variety of mobile terminals and operating systems to improve compatibility.

[0062] In this way, the heartbeat packet detection mechanism can be used to quickly determine the online or offline status of the charging pile, ensuring that the status judgment is accurate and timely. The charging management platform should have the trigger logic for Bluetooth connection prompts and provide detailed user guidance in offline mode.

[0063] S102: In response to the Bluetooth communication connection established between the user and the charging pile, the charging pile is controlled to start charging and collect charging status information in real time according to the offline charging instruction sent by the user.

[0064] In the specific implementation, the user turns on the Bluetooth function through a mobile terminal (such as a smart phone) and runs a charging application (APP). The APP automatically matches the target charging pile by scanning the device identifier (such as MAC address) of the charging pile Bluetooth module. The mobile terminal and the charging pile Bluetooth module complete encrypted pairing to ensure the security and uniqueness of the connection.

[0065] Here, after establishing communication, the charging pile sends a handshake signal to the APP to confirm that the connection status is normal. The APP verifies the connection stability and prompts the user to continue the operation.

[0066] Furthermore, the user initiates an offline charging request through the APP, fills in the necessary information (such as charging time or target amount), and the APP generates an encrypted offline charging instruction, and attaches the user's identity information and payment verification information. After the verification is passed, the charging pile returns a confirmation signal to the user and prepares to execute the charging task.

[0067] As a possible implementation, the steps of controlling the charging pile to start charging and collecting charging status information in real time according to the offline charging instruction sent by the user can be implemented by the following steps 1 to 3:

[0068] Step 1: In response to the offline charging instruction initiated by the user through the mobile terminal, an offline charging order is established and it is determined whether the charging gun is inserted.

[0069] Step 2: If the charging gun has been inserted, the charging pile is controlled to start charging, and the charging status information is monitored in real time during the charging process, charging billing is turned on, and the charging bill information is bound to the offline charging order.

[0070] Step 3: If the charging gun is not inserted, a prompt message for inserting the gun is sent to the user, and the step of determining whether the charging gun is inserted is repeated until the charging gun is inserted.

[0071] In specific implementation, the charging pile detects the physical and electrical connection status of the charging gun through hardware sensors. The detection parameters include: whether the plug is physically inserted into the charging interface; whether the vehicle feedbacks the electrical connection signal (for example, confirmed by PWM signal). If it is detected that the charging gun is not inserted, a prompt message is sent to the user's mobile terminal, such as "Please insert the charging gun and try again", and the system remains in the detection loop and continuously monitors the connection status of the charging gun.

[0072] Here, when it is detected that the charging gun is correctly inserted and an electrical connection is established with the vehicle, a feedback prompt is sent to the user that the connection is successful, and the system is ready to start the charging process. During the startup operation, key data at the time of startup is recorded, such as the initial meter reading (power) and the current time (for billing). The charging pile controls the internal relay to close, provides power to the vehicle, and monitors the power supply current and voltage in real time to ensure stable power supply.

[0073] Among them, the system turns on the billing function according to the user's target charging amount or duration. The billing data is bound to the offline charging order, including information such as charging time, power consumed (kWh) and actual charging cost.

[0074] Furthermore, the charging status information is monitored in real time. The monitored parameters include electrical parameters, temperature parameters, and charging progress parameters. Electrical parameters include current, voltage, power, etc. to ensure positive power supply; temperature parameters are used to monitor the temperature of the charging gun and interface to prevent overheating; charging progress includes the remaining charging time and the progress of completing the target amount.

[0075] Specifically, the charging status information is compared with the corresponding threshold to determine the corresponding working status of the charging pile. The charging status information includes at least charging current, charging voltage and temperature. When at least one of the charging status information among the charging current, charging voltage and temperature exceeds the threshold, the working status is determined to be an abnormal state; the charging pile is controlled to stop charging operations.

[0076] Here, if an abnormal situation is detected (such as overcurrent, overvoltage or overheating), the charging operation will be automatically stopped, an abnormal prompt message will be sent to the user, and the abnormal status will be recorded in the offline charging order.

[0077] Optionally, the status information and billing data collected during the charging process are bound to the offline charging order, including the initial and final power, total charging time and actual cost, and abnormal status and processing records (if any). The charging pile temporarily stores the order information in the local storage unit and uploads it to the charging management platform after the network is restored.

[0078] S103: If the charging pile is still in an offline state during the charging process, select a neighboring charging pile that is networked with the current charging pile and is in an online state, and send the charging status information to the charging management platform through the neighboring charging pile.

[0079] In the specific implementation, when the charging pile is in offline charging mode, if the charging pile is still offline during the charging process, data transmission is achieved through the neighboring charging piles networked with the current charging pile to ensure that the charging status information can be uploaded to the charging management platform in time to avoid data loss, while providing users with real-time feedback on the charging process.

[0080] Here, during the charging process, the charging pile records the current charging status information, including current power, current, voltage and other data; the accumulated charging time and the fees incurred.

[0081] Among them, the charging pile has been configured with Bluetooth networking function during installation, and a short-distance communication network has been established with surrounding charging piles. Each charging pile regularly broadcasts its online status so that other charging piles in the network can perceive it. The current charging pile uses the networking protocol to filter the online neighboring charging piles. The screening conditions include: whether the neighboring charging pile is in a normal online state and whether the neighboring charging pile has the network upload function. If there are multiple neighboring charging piles that meet the conditions, the charging pile with the closest distance or higher network stability will be given priority.

[0082] Furthermore, the current charging pile packages the charging status information collected in real time, and the data content includes charging parameters such as current power, current, voltage, power, etc.; user identity information, order number and billing data; abnormal status record (if any). The data packet is protected using an encryption algorithm (such as AES) to prevent data leakage or tampering. The current charging pile sends the packaged charging status information to the selected neighboring charging pile via Bluetooth. After receiving the data, the neighboring charging pile returns a confirmation signal to ensure the complete transmission of the data.

[0083] Here, the nearby charging pile establishes a connection with the charging management platform through its network interface (such as Wi-Fi or 4G module). The nearby charging pile decrypts the received charging status information and uploads it to the platform, while attaching its own device identification to facilitate data source tracing. After receiving the uploaded data, the charging management platform matches it with the offline charging order. If the match is successful, the platform updates the order status and sends real-time charging status information to the user's mobile terminal.

[0084] Among them, after the neighboring charging pile receives the confirmation signal from the platform, it notifies the current charging pile that the data transmission has been completed. If the upload fails, the neighboring charging pile can retry according to the configuration or select other online piles to continue uploading.

[0085] It should be noted that Bluetooth networking needs to support multi-point connection and efficient neighboring pile screening algorithm to ensure that the appropriate neighboring charging pile can be quickly selected after disconnection. Encryption technology must be used during data transmission and upload to avoid sensitive information leakage. The data transmission process must have low latency characteristics to ensure user experience; at the same time, it supports breakpoint resume mechanism to avoid data loss. If the charging pile is still offline during charging, the system can remind the user through other means (such as SMS or APP push) that the charging status information is being uploaded through the neighboring charging pile.

[0086] In this way, by screening and utilizing the network upload function of nearby charging piles, the problem of real-time data transmission when the Bluetooth connection is disconnected is effectively solved, ensuring the integrity of the charging data and the continuity of the user experience, while enhancing the fault tolerance and reliability of the charging pile system.

[0087] As a possible implementation method, during the charging process, if the communication between the charging pile and the charging management platform is not disconnected (in an online state), the charging status information and the charging bill information are packaged and sent to the charging management platform, which is then forwarded to the user's mobile terminal.

[0088] In the specific implementation, the user's mobile terminal maintains a connection with the charging management platform through Wi-Fi or cellular network (such as 4G / 5G). When the charging pile is online, the charging management platform forwards the information to the mobile terminal after receiving the data from the charging pile. The data format is integrated according to the platform standard so that the platform can recognize and process it.

[0089] Preferably, data transmission between the mobile terminal and the platform should use HTTPS or other encryption protocols to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks or information leakage.

[0090] Here, the charging management platform receives real-time data from charging piles and binds it to offline charging orders. The platform stores the data in a cloud database for subsequent query and settlement. After the platform updates the order status, it sends confirmation feedback information to the user's mobile terminal, such as charging progress and accumulated fees. If the uploaded data contains abnormal status, the platform can trigger an alarm and send a notification to the user and operation and maintenance personnel.

[0091] S104: Generate charging bill information after charging is completed. If the charging pile is still offline, send the charging bill information to the charging management platform through the neighboring charging pile.

[0092] In the specific implementation, it is ensured that when the communication connection between the charging pile and the charging management platform is disconnected, the charging bill information can be successfully uploaded to the charging management platform through the neighboring pile agent function, so as to achieve the integrity of the bill and the accuracy of the settlement. The charging pile determines whether the charging is ended in the following ways: the user actively sends a stop command, the target amount or charging time set by the user is reached, an abnormality occurs (such as overcurrent, overvoltage or overheating) and triggers an automatic stop.

[0093] Here, after charging is completed, the charging pile generates charging bill information, which includes user identity information (user ID or order number), charging time (cumulative charging time from start to end), total power (cumulative charging kilowatts), and fee details (charging fees calculated according to the billing standards, including basic fees and additional fees).

[0094] The bill information is encrypted and stored in the local storage unit of the charging pile, waiting to be uploaded to the charging management platform. After the bill is generated, the charging pile attempts to send the bill information to the user's mobile terminal via Bluetooth. If it detects that the Bluetooth connection is disconnected, the neighboring pile proxy mechanism is activated. The condition for activating the neighboring pile proxy is that the charging pile is in offline mode and the Bluetooth communication with the user's mobile terminal fails. The system confirms that there is an available neighboring charging pile online through the preset Bluetooth networking protocol.

[0095] The embodiment of the present disclosure provides a charging pile offline charging control method, which responds to the user's charging request and determines the communication status of the charging pile. If the charging pile is in an offline state, a Bluetooth mode switching request is sent to the user; in response to the Bluetooth communication connection established between the user and the charging pile, the charging pile is controlled to start charging and collect charging status information in real time according to the offline charging instruction sent by the user; during the charging process, if the charging pile is still in an offline state, the neighboring charging piles that are networked with the current charging pile and are in an online state are screened, and the charging status information is sent to the charging management platform through the neighboring charging piles; after the charging is completed, the charging bill information is generated, and if the charging pile is still in an offline state, the charging bill information is sent to the charging management platform through the neighboring charging piles. When the charging pile is disconnected from the network, the user's charging request response can be flexibly and efficiently realized, thereby improving the user experience.

[0096] See also Figure 2 FIG. 2 is a flowchart of another charging pile offline charging control method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, wherein the method includes steps S201 to S204, wherein:

[0097] S201. Monitor the fault information corresponding to the charging pile in real time.

[0098] S202: If the charging pile is in an offline state, the fault information is sent to the adjacent charging pile, and the fault information is forwarded to the charging management platform through the adjacent charging pile.

[0099] S203: monitor in real time the device control information issued by the charging management platform.

[0100] S204: If the charging pile is in an offline state, the device control information is sent to the adjacent charging pile, and the device control information is forwarded to the charging pile through the adjacent charging pile.

[0101] In specific implementation, during the operation of the charging pile, its fault status is monitored in real time to ensure that when there is a problem with the equipment, information can be uploaded in time for maintenance response. Even if the charging pile is offline, data can be transmitted through the neighboring pile. When the charging pile is offline, it is ensured that the control instructions issued by the charging management platform can still be received through the neighboring pile, and remote equipment maintenance, upgrade, restart and other operations can be completed in time.

[0102] Here, the charging pile monitors the operating status in real time through built-in sensors and control modules. After detecting an abnormality, a fault information log is generated. The log content may include the fault type and specific description, the time and duration of the fault, and the fault severity level (such as warning, critical or dangerous). The fault information is encrypted and stored locally in the charging pile, and further processing logic is triggered at the same time. After the platform receives the fault information, it triggers the corresponding processing mechanism according to the fault type, for example: notifying the operation and maintenance team to arrange on-site maintenance or remotely issuing equipment restart or downgrade operation instructions.

[0103] Furthermore, the device control information sent by the charging management platform as needed may include: device restart commands, software firmware update packages, parameter adjustment instructions (such as changing the maximum charging power), and safe mode startup instructions, etc. When the charging pile is offline, the platform sends the device control information to the neighboring charging pile, and the neighboring charging pile forwards the control information to the target charging pile through Bluetooth networking.

[0104] Here, after the received control information is decrypted and verified, the charging pile performs the corresponding operation according to the instruction. After the execution is completed, an operation feedback log is generated and an attempt is made to upload it to the platform through the neighboring pile to confirm the execution status.

[0105] The embodiment of the present disclosure provides a charging pile offline charging control method, which monitors the fault information corresponding to the charging pile in real time. If the charging pile is in an offline state, the fault information is sent to the adjacent charging pile, and the fault information is forwarded to the charging management platform through the adjacent charging pile. Real-time monitoring of the device control information issued by the charging management platform. If the charging pile is in an offline state, the device control information is sent to the adjacent charging pile, and the device control information is forwarded to the charging pile through the adjacent charging pile. Even when the charging pile is offline, the device status can still be monitored, the fault response time can be reduced, and it can be ensured that the device can still accept control instructions when it is offline, avoiding long-term downtime or fault expansion, and realizing information transmission through neighboring piles, thereby improving the system's fault tolerance and adapting to complex network environments.
