[0018] The following will describe the implementation methods of the present application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples, so that the implementation process of how the present application applies technical means to solve technical problems and achieve technical effects can be fully understood and implemented accordingly.
[0019] like Figure 1 As shown, the drone automatic charging and billing information management and control platform provided in this embodiment includes a dynamic billing model, a multi-system integration module, and a data security mechanism. The dynamic billing model dynamically generates fees based on time-of-use electricity prices, battery health status (SOH), and mission types. The time-of-use electricity prices are specifically implemented through the following time-of-use billing algorithm: = +σ ; in, is the total charging cost; is the electricity price for the time period; is the amount of electricity consumed in time period t; σ is the battery health status SOH additional service fee; The battery health status SOH compensation coefficient is , and reduce the billing weight for aging batteries. The algorithm is: =1- ; The revised fees are: = × ; The dynamic task type billing algorithm is implemented through the following algorithm: Differentiated pricing based on drone mission type: ; is the task type coefficient (such as logistics =1.0, emergency =1.5); Used to calculate the charging cost within a certain period of time; β is the time sensitivity coefficient; is the task priority weight; The dynamic billing model also includes: Time-of-use billing module automatically switches unit prices according to the preset peak / off-peak electricity price table; Task priority billing module: The time sensitivity coefficient β is 1.2-1.5 times that of regular tasks; Dynamically adjust unit prices based on peak / off-peak charging periods to encourage users to charge during off-peak periods and balance grid load. Differentiate pricing based on drone mission types (logistics, inspection, and emergency) to ensure fair billing for different missions. Adjust fees based on battery cycle life and temperature data to avoid overcharging damage and extend battery life. The account management module enables multi-user account binding and automatic fee deduction, simplifying user operations and improving management efficiency. It can be connected with drone dispatch platforms, power management systems, or logistics platforms to achieve cross-platform data sharing and fee settlement, thus improving the system's integration and practicality. The billing algorithm module generates fees based on real-time data (such as power level, time, and battery temperature), and completes deductions through the account management module. The billing strategy is dynamically adjusted based on power level, time, battery health status, or mission type. The multi-system integration module is connected to the drone dispatching system, logistics management platform, and power monitoring system to achieve cross-platform data interaction. Charging requests, billing results, and mission logs are transmitted through a standardized API interface. The data encryption module encrypts the billing information and transmits it to the cloud or dispatching platform through the communication module. Grid operators can reduce peak-shaving costs by 25%, and the average charging cost for drone users can drop by 8%.
[0020] Further, such as Figure 1 As shown, the dynamic billing model also includes battery loss compensation billing, which adjusts the fee based on battery cycle life and temperature data to avoid overcharging damage. This is achieved through the following algorithm: ; in, Indicates the cost after compensation for battery loss; Indicates basic fee; Indicates the real-time temperature of the battery (°C); Represents the temperature impact coefficient (default value is 0.05).

In power inspection drone applications, real-time synchronization of charging data to the grid management platform supports load balancing analysis, optimizes grid operation, and improves system safety and reliability. The data security mechanism uses the national secret SM2 algorithm to encrypt billing data. The signature process is as follows: ; Where M is the plain text of billing data; is the private key, P A is the public key; k is a random number. This process design takes into account both data confidentiality requirements and integrity and tamper-proofing requirements. It has very important application value in many scenarios with extremely high security requirements. The multi-system integration module includes a logistics docking module and a power linkage module; The logistics docking module automatically matches charging costs based on delivery mileage and is achieved through the following steps: Create a piecewise function of mileage interval and basic cost: ; Where D is the delivery mileage (km), , , is the mileage coefficient, b is the interval compensation value, and the S-shaped growth curve (Logistic function) is used to simulate the gradual change of charging load, which is more consistent with the climbing characteristics of drone charging power in actual scenarios.

The cost calculation is completed at the edge node, meeting the following requirements: Calculation delay ; The power linkage module is synchronized to the power grid management platform in real time and supports load balancing analysis. The power linkage module includes a power grid load balancing optimization system, which is implemented through the following technical solutions; Dynamic load forecasting model; ; in, is the predicted total load at time t; is the charging power of the i-th drone; is the charging efficiency coefficient (0.8-0.95); The estimated charging start time; k is the steepness coefficient of the S-curve (default is 0.5); As an error compensation item, the independent charging curve of each drone is superimposed to achieve accurate modeling of group charging behavior, supporting the charging demand prediction of 500+ drones at the same time. Dynamically absorb interference factors such as weather changes and equipment anomalies for error compensation, improving forecast stability by 60%; Optimal charging time window algorithm; ; in, is the grid benchmark load; The battery level at the end of charging; Real-time electricity price feedback mechanism; ΔP= ; When ΔP>0, the electricity price will be automatically increased by 5-15%. This 5-15% increase in electricity price will suppress demand and protect the safety of the power grid. When ΔP<0, the charging demand incentive strategy is activated, charging coupons are issued, and equipment utilization is improved.
[0022] Further, if Figure 1 As shown, the multi-system integration module includes a hardware module and a software module. The hardware module includes a charging interface, a sensor component, and a communication module. The charging port supports modular design and is compatible with a variety of drone models; The sensor components include position detection and battery temperature monitoring, which are used to collect charging data.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, the principles of the drone automatic charging and billing information management and control platform provided in this embodiment are as follows: Dynamically adjust unit prices based on peak / off-peak charging periods to encourage users to charge during off-peak periods and balance grid load. Differentiate pricing based on drone mission types (logistics, inspection, and emergency) to ensure fair billing for different missions. Adjust fees based on battery cycle life and temperature data to avoid overcharging damage and extend battery life. The account management module enables multi-user account binding and automatic fee deduction, simplifying user operations and improving management efficiency. It can be connected with drone dispatch platforms, power management systems, or logistics platforms to achieve cross-platform data sharing and fee settlement, thus improving the system's integration and practicality. The billing algorithm module generates fees based on real-time data (such as power consumption, time, and battery temperature), and deducts these fees through the account management module. The billing strategy is dynamically adjusted based on power consumption, time, battery health, or mission type. The multi-system integration module communicates with the drone dispatch system, logistics management platform, and power monitoring system, enabling cross-platform data exchange. Charging requests, billing results, and mission logs are transmitted via standardized APIs. The data encryption module encrypts billing information and transmits it to the cloud or dispatch platform via the communication module. This allows grid operators to reduce peak-shaving costs by 25%, and the average charging cost for drone users to decrease by 8%.
[0024] For example, certain words are used in the specification and claims to refer to specific components. Those skilled in the art should understand that hardware manufacturers may use different terms to refer to the same component. This specification and claims do not use differences in names as a way to distinguish components, but use differences in the functions of the components as the criteria for distinction. For example, "including" mentioned throughout the specification and claims is an open term, so it should be interpreted as "including but not limited to". "Approximately" means that within an acceptable error range, those skilled in the art can solve technical problems within a certain error range and basically achieve technical effects.
[0025] It should be noted that the terms "include," "comprises," or any other variations thereof are intended to encompass non-exclusive inclusion, such that a product or system comprising a series of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not explicitly listed, or elements inherent to such product or system. In the absence of further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising a..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the product or system comprising the element.
