[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application more apparent, the following will describe exemplary embodiments according to this application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, rather than all the embodiments of this application. It should be understood that this application is not limited by the exemplary embodiments described herein.

[0029] The following will describe the implementation manners of the embodiments of this application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] Please refer to Figure 1 , which shows a schematic diagram of a system application architecture of an embodiment of this application.

[0031] As Figure 1 shown, the system architecture may include: a charging pile 101, a charging vehicle 102, a verification platform 103, and a user charging management device 104. The verification platform 103 may communicate with the charging pile 101 in real time, and the verification platform 103 and the user charging management device 104 may communicate in real time, etc. For example, the charging pile 101 may send identification information of the charging vehicle 102 to the verification platform 103. The verification platform 103 may send verification result information to the charging pile 101. The user charging management device 104 may send an authentication credential to the charging vehicle 102 and send identification information of the charging vehicle 102 to the verification platform 103.

[0032] In some embodiments, identification information may be stored in the charging vehicle 102, where the identification information may be a unique vehicle identification number (VIN code) of the charging vehicle 102 and an authentication credential corresponding to the VIN code.

[0033] In some embodiments, the verification platform 103 may be a cloud platform. For example, if the verification platform 103 is a cloud server, the charging vehicle 102 may send its exclusive VIN code and the authentication credential corresponding to the VIN code to the cloud server. The cloud server may store the VIN code and the authentication credential in a corresponding manner.

[0034] In some embodiments, the verification platform 103 may also be a management device. For example, the verification platform 103 may include a computing device with data processing, logical operation, and storage functions, such as a server, etc. The user charging management device 104 may be a mobile terminal, such as a mobile phone terminal, a desktop computer, a laptop computer, a notebook computer, etc.

[0035] In some embodiments, the verification platform 103 may refer to an operation platform running based on multiple servers. The user charging management device 104 may be a mobile phone terminal. In this case, the user can configure an authentication credential corresponding to the VIN code for the charging vehicle 102 through the charging APP on the mobile phone terminal, and enable VIN charging on the charging APP. The charging APP may send the authentication credential to the charging vehicle 102, and send the VIN code of the charging vehicle 102 and the corresponding authentication credential, that is, the identification information of the charging vehicle 102, to the operation platform. The operation platform may encrypt and store the identification information of the charging vehicle 102. The charging vehicle 102 may receive and store the authentication credential.

[0036] When the charging vehicle 102 needs to be charged, the user can insert the charging gun on the charging pile 101 into the charging port of the charging vehicle 102. In this case, the charging pile 101 may obtain the identification information of the charging vehicle 102, etc. Further, the charging pile 101 may send the identification information of the charging vehicle 102, etc. to the operation platform. The operation platform may determine verification result information, etc. based on the identification information of the charging vehicle 102, and send the verification result information, etc. to the charging pile 101. The charging pile 101 may charge the charging vehicle 102 based on the verification result information, etc. For example, when the verification result information shows that the verification is successful, the charging pile 101 may charge the charging vehicle 102.

[0037] The following combines Figure 2 to illustrate a vehicle charging method provided by an embodiment of the present application.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 2 , as Figure 2 shown is a flowchart of a vehicle charging method, which is applied to a charging pile. The charging pile includes a charging gun, and includes S201, S202, and S203:

[0039] S201. In response to the charging gun being inserted into the charging port of the charging vehicle, obtain the identification information of the charging vehicle, where the identification information at least includes the authentication credential and VIN code of the charging vehicle.

[0040] Specifically, the charging vehicle can use the charging gun on the charging pile for charging. When the charging gun is inserted into the charging port of the charging vehicle, the charging pile can obtain the identification information of the charging vehicle. For example, the charging pile can receive the information sent by the charging vehicle to obtain the identification information of the charging vehicle. Also, for example, the charging pile can actively obtain the identification information of the charging vehicle through Bluetooth, radio frequency identification, etc.

[0041] In the embodiments of the present application, the identification information of the charging vehicle may include the authentication credential of the charging vehicle. The authentication credential may include specific encrypted information in the form of a digital password, digital certificate, biometric information, etc.

[0042] Further, the authentication credential is configured to verify the charging vehicle. Specifically, the authentication credential can be set by the user based on the charging vehicle. It can be understood that the user can set exclusive authentication credentials for different charging vehicles, and the authentication credentials between different charging vehicles are different. For example, the user can set a specific digital password for the charging vehicle as the authentication credential for the charging vehicle. When the user needs to use the charging vehicle, the exclusive authentication credential needs to be input to obtain the usage permission of the charging vehicle.

[0043] In some embodiments, the identification information of the charging vehicle may further include the VIN code of the charging vehicle. The VIN code of the charging vehicle can be used to identify the unique identity of the charging vehicle. It can be understood that when the charging vehicle completes the whole vehicle assembly, it can obtain a unique VIN code as the specific identity information of the charging vehicle.

[0044] Further, the charging vehicle can store the authentication credential set by the user and its own identity information in correspondence. For example, the authentication credential set by the user is a digital password. In this case, the charging vehicle can store the VIN code and the digital password in correspondence. When the charging gun is inserted into the charging port of the charging vehicle, the charging pile can obtain the identification information of the charging vehicle, and the identification information can at least include the VIN code and the digital password of the charging vehicle.

[0045] In the embodiments of the present application, the authentication credential is configured to be encrypted and stored in the charging vehicle.

[0046] Specifically, the charging vehicle can encrypt and save the authentication credential set by the user. When the charging pile obtains the identification information of the charging vehicle, the charging vehicle can send the authentication credential to the charging pile. In some embodiments, the charging vehicle can encrypt and store the authentication credential by means of encryption software encryption, database encryption, cloud encryption storage, etc. For example, the charging vehicle can use special encryption software to encrypt the authentication credential through a specific encryption algorithm, and the user can only access the encrypted authentication credential through the correct key. And so on.

[0047] According to the embodiments of the present application, by encrypting and storing the authentication credential of the charging vehicle, the security of the authentication credential can be ensured.

[0048] As Figure 3 shown, the above S201 may further include S301. Figure 3 It is a flowchart of another vehicle charging method provided by the embodiments of the present application. Specifically:

[0049] S301. Obtain the identification information based on the way of encrypting and sending the identification information of the charging vehicle.

[0050] In an embodiment of the present application, the charging vehicle may send identification information to the charging pile in an encrypted manner. In some embodiments, the encrypted sending methods may at least include encryption methods such as symmetric encryption, asymmetric encryption, hash algorithm, digital certificate, etc. In an embodiment of the present application, the data transmission between the charging vehicle and the charging pile is carried out in an encrypted manner, which can avoid the theft and attack of the transmitted data, and thus can ensure the security of data transmission.

[0051] In an embodiment of the present application, the charging pile may parse the identification information based on the way the charging vehicle encrypts and sends the identification information. For example, the charging vehicle uses the hash algorithm encryption method to send the identification information. The charging vehicle may map the identification information of the charging vehicle to a hash value of a fixed length, and send the hash value and the identification information to the charging pile. After receiving the hash value and the identification information, the charging pile may recalculate the hash value based on the identification information and compare it with the hash value sent by the charging vehicle to verify the integrity of the information. Another example is that the charging vehicle may use the asymmetric encryption method to send the identification information. The charging vehicle may obtain the public key of the charging pile and use the public key to encrypt the identification information to be sent to generate a ciphertext and send it to the charging pile. After receiving the ciphertext, the charging pile may use its own private key to decrypt the ciphertext to obtain the identification information.

[0052] According to an embodiment of the present application, the data transmission between the charging vehicle and the charging pile is carried out in an encrypted manner, which can avoid the transmission of plaintext data information, and thus can avoid the theft and attack of the transmitted data, thereby ensuring the security of data transmission.

[0053] S202. Send the identification information to the verification platform so that the verification platform can determine the verification result information based on the identification information.

[0054] S203. Charge the charging vehicle based on the verification result information sent by the verification platform. The verification result information is at least used to indicate that the authentication certificate matches the VIN code of the charging vehicle.

[0055] In an embodiment of the present application, the verification platform may determine the verification result information based on the identification information. Specifically, the verification result information may at least include verification success information and verification failure information.

[0056] In an embodiment of the present application, the identification information of the charging vehicle may be pre-stored in the verification platform. Specifically, when the user sets the authentication certificate for the charging vehicle, the set authentication certificate may also be sent to the verification platform. In some embodiments, the verification platform may include an operation platform run by multiple servers. The operation platform may manage multiple charging piles, and the user may view and set the information of the charging piles on the operation platform.

[0057] Further, the verification platform determines the verification result information based on the identification information sent by the charging pile and the pre-stored identification information.

[0058] For example, in response to the verification result information indicating that the authentication credential matches the charging vehicle, the charging vehicle is charged. The verification platform compares the identification information sent by the charging pile with the pre-stored identification information. If the comparison shows a match, the verification platform may send a verification success message to the charging pile. Based on this verification success message, the charging pile can start charging the charging vehicle. For example, the verification platform can verify whether the VIN code and authentication credential sent by the charging pile match the pre-stored VIN code and authentication credential. If the VIN code and authentication credential sent by the charging pile are consistent with the pre-stored VIN code and authentication credential, the verification result information is verification success.

[0059] For another example, in response to the verification result information indicating that the authentication credential does not match the charging vehicle, the verification result information is sent to the user charging management device.

[0060] In an embodiment of the present application, the verification platform compares the identification information sent by the charging pile with the pre-stored identification information. If the comparison shows a mismatch, the verification platform may send a verification failure message to the charging pile. Based on this verification success message, the charging pile can return a charging failure message to the user charging management device. For example, the verification platform can verify whether the VIN code and authentication credential sent by the charging pile match the pre-stored VIN code and authentication credential. If the VIN code and authentication credential sent by the charging pile are inconsistent with the pre-stored VIN code and authentication credential, the verification result information is verification failure.

[0061] In an embodiment of the present application, the charging pile may also encrypt and send the identification information to the verification platform so that the verification platform determines the verification result information based on the identity information.

[0062] Specifically, the charging pile encrypts and sends the decrypted identification information to the verification platform. The verification platform pre-stores the identification information of the charging vehicle, so the verification platform can compare the identification information sent by the charging pile with the pre-stored identification information to determine the verification result information.

[0063] In an embodiment of the present application, the encryption and sending method may include encryption and sending methods such as symmetric encryption, asymmetric encryption, hash algorithm, digital certificate, etc.

[0064] According to an embodiment of the present application, when charging a charging vehicle using a charging gun, a charging pile can obtain the identification information of the charging vehicle, and the identification information indicates including the authentication certificate of the charging vehicle, and the authentication certificate can be used to verify the identity of the charging vehicle. Further, the charging pile can also send the identification information so that the verification platform can determine the verification result information based on the identification information. The verification result information is at least used to indicate whether the identity of the charging vehicle matches successfully. Thus, by setting an authentication certificate exclusive to the charging vehicle and not easily obtained, the act of stealing the identity information of the charging vehicle to steal electricity can be effectively prevented.

[0065] In addition, an embodiment of the present application also provides a vehicle charging method, which is applied to a user charging management device, such as Figure 4 shown.

[0066] Figure 4 The flowchart of another vehicle charging method according to an embodiment of the present application includes S401, S402, and S403:

[0067] S401. Obtain identification information, where the identification information at least includes the authentication certificate of the charging vehicle and the VIA code.

[0068] In an embodiment of the present application, the user charging management device can be a mobile terminal, such as a mobile phone terminal. The user can view the charging vehicle information or communicate with the verification platform through a client running on the mobile phone terminal, such as a charging APP.

[0069] In some embodiments, the user can set the identification information for the charging vehicle through the charging APP. In this case, the user charging management device can obtain the authentication certificate of the charging vehicle set by the user, as well as the VIA code of the charging vehicle. Further, the user charging management device can store the authentication certificate of the charging vehicle and the VIA code of the charging vehicle in a corresponding manner. In some embodiments, the user charging management device can encrypt and store the authentication certificate of the charging vehicle and the VIA code.

[0070] S402. Send the identification information to the verification platform so that the verification platform stores the identification information.

[0071] In an embodiment of the present application, the user charging management device can send the identification information set by the user to the verification platform. The verification platform can receive and store the identification information.

[0072] S403. Send the authentication certificate to the charging vehicle so that the charging vehicle stores the authentication certificate.

[0073] In an embodiment of the present application, the user charging management device can also send the authentication certificate set by the user to the charging vehicle so that when the charging vehicle is charging, the charging vehicle can send the authentication certificate to the charging pile.

[0074] According to an embodiment of the present application, a user charging management device may obtain and store identification information set by a user, and send the identification information to a verification platform, so that the verification platform may determine verification result information based on the identification information, and send an authentication credential to a charging vehicle, so that the charging vehicle may send the authentication credential to a charging pile when charging.

[0075] In addition, an embodiment of the present application further provides a vehicle charging method, which is applied to a charging vehicle, as Figure 5 shown. Figure 5 is a flowchart of another vehicle charging method according to an embodiment of the present application, including S501 and S502:

[0076] S501. Obtain and store an authentication credential.

[0077] In an embodiment of the present application, a charging vehicle may receive an exclusive authentication credential set by a user for the charging vehicle sent by a user charging management device. For example, a user may set an exclusive digital password, fingerprint information password, etc. for the charging vehicle. In some embodiments, the authentication credential may include specific encrypted information in the form of a digital password, a digital certificate, biometric information, etc., which has a certain degree of privacy and is not easily stolen by others.

[0078] Furthermore, the charging vehicle may also store the authentication credential corresponding to its own VIN code.

[0079] S502. In response to the charging gun being inserted into the charging port of the charging vehicle, encrypt and send identification information to the charging pile, where the identification information at least includes the authentication credential of the charging vehicle and the VIA code of the charging vehicle.

[0080] Specifically, when the charging gun is inserted into the charging port of the charging vehicle, the charging vehicle may send identification information to the charging pile. For example, send the VIN code and the authentication credential to the charging gun, and the authentication credential may be a digital password set by the user. The authentication credential may at least be used to confirm the identity information of the charging vehicle. For example, when the charging gun is inserted into the charging port of the charging vehicle, the stored VIN code and the authentication credential of the charging vehicle may be sent to the charging pile. The charging pile may send the VIN code and the authentication credential to the operation platform. The operation platform may determine the identity information of the charging vehicle based on the VIN code and the authentication credential.

[0081] In some embodiments, encrypting and sending the identification information to the charging pile in response to the charging gun being inserted into the charging port of the charging vehicle may further include that in response to the charging gun being inserted into the charging port of the charging vehicle, the charging vehicle prompts the user to input an authentication credential. And the charging vehicle sends the authentication credential input by the user to the charging pile.

[0082] In some embodiments, the charging vehicle may also encrypt the authentication credential based on a specific algorithm to generate an irreversible first ciphertext. Meanwhile, the user may configure the authentication credential of the charging vehicle through the charging APP, and the charging APP may send the authentication credential of the charging vehicle to the operation platform. Further, when the charging gun is plugged into the charging port of the charging vehicle, the charging vehicle may also send identification information to the charging pile, where the identification information includes the VIN code and the irreversible first ciphertext. Furthermore, the charging pile may send the VIN code and the irreversible first ciphertext to the operation platform. The operation platform may encrypt the authentication credential stored in the operation platform based on the same specific algorithm as that of the charging vehicle to generate an irreversible second ciphertext. On this basis, the operation platform may determine the verification result information based on the first ciphertext and the second ciphertext.

[0083] In this case, the charging vehicle may store the authentication credential locally and only send the ciphertext to the charging pile without sending the authentication credential, further avoiding the leakage of the authentication credential.

[0084] In the embodiments of the present application, it further includes encrypting and storing the identification information. Specifically, the user may set an authentication credential for the charging vehicle. The charging vehicle may encrypt and store the authentication credential.

[0085] In addition, the embodiments of the present application further provide a charging pile, as Figure 6 shown. Figure 6 is a block diagram of a charging pile according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0086] The charging pile 600 includes a charging pile body 601 and a charging gun 602. Among them, a memory 603 and a processor 604 are provided on the charging pile body.

[0087] The charging gun 602 is configured on the charging pile body 601. The memory 603 is used to store computer program instructions. The processor 604 is used to execute the computer program to implement the above vehicle charging method.

[0088] The embodiments of the present application further provide a vehicle charging system, as Figure 7 shown. Figure 7 is a schematic diagram of a vehicle charging system according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0089] The vehicle charging system 700 includes a charging pile 701, a charging vehicle 702, a verification platform 703, and a user charging management device 704.

[0090] The charging pile 701 may be the charging pile as Figure 7 in. The charging vehicle 702 includes at least a vehicle body and a processor to implement the above vehicle charging method.

[0091] The verification platform 703 is configured to obtain the identity information of the charging vehicle 702, save the encrypted identity information, determine the verification result information based on the identity information, and send the verification result information to the charging pile 701.

[0092] As Figure 7 shown, in S701, the user charging management device 704 obtains and sends the identification information to the verification platform 703.

[0093] In S702, the user charging management device 704 sends the authentication credential to the charging vehicle 702 so that the charging vehicle 702 stores the authentication credential.

[0094] In S703, when the charging gun is inserted into the charging port of the charging vehicle 702, the charging vehicle 702 can report the VIN code and the authentication credential to the charging pile 701.

[0095] In S704, the charging pile 701 can report the VIN code and the authentication credential to the verification platform 703.

[0096] In S705, the verification platform 703 can verify the VIN code and the authentication credential and feedback the verification result information to the charging pile 701.

[0097] In S706a, in response to successful verification, the charging pile 701 starts charging the charging vehicle 702.

[0098] In S706b, in response to verification failure, the charging pile 701 returns a failure message to the user charging management device 704.

[0099] As described above, with reference to the accompanying drawings, a vehicle charging method, a charging pile and a system according to an embodiment of the present application are described. By setting an authentication credential for the charging vehicle, during the process of charging the charging vehicle, it is necessary to obtain the authentication credential of the charging vehicle and verify the authentication credential. Thus, it can be ensured that the identity information of the charging vehicle is not easily stolen and tampered with. And in the process of data transmission, it is sent in an encrypted manner, which can further ensure the security of data transmission.
