Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a method for managing the work schedule of a battery power station and the battery power station thereof, and particularly to a method and system for managing the work schedule of a fixed battery power station based on the processor utilization of a remote server. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with rising environmental awareness and advancements in electric vehicle technology, developing electric vehicles to replace traditional vehicles powered by fossil fuels has gradually become a key objective in the automotive industry, leading to the increasing popularity of electric vehicles. To improve the range and user willingness of electric vehicles, many countries and cities have begun planning to install charging stations and battery power stations in public places to provide charging or battery swapping services for electric vehicles and / or electric motorcycles, making the use of electric vehicles more convenient.

[0003] Generally, battery power stations are managed via the cloud. Battery power stations located in the same or different locations can connect to a remote server via a network. The remote server monitors and manages the operation of these battery power stations. For example, in a battery swapping operation, the battery power station transmits the battery identification data and user identification data of the corresponding battery to the remote server via the network, and the remote server determines whether to approve the battery swapping operation based on the received data.

[0004] As mentioned earlier, the remote server monitors and manages battery power stations located in the same or different locations simultaneously. Due to the large number of battery power stations, the remote server requires significant system resources to handle the substantial management workload. Therefore, properly managing the operation of the corresponding battery power stations on the remote server becomes a crucial factor in ensuring stable system service. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a method and system for scheduling battery power stations based on processor utilization.

[0006] This invention discloses a battery power station job scheduling management method based on processor utilization. First, a battery power station charges multiple batteries and provides these batteries for exchange operations. A time schedule is provided for at least one job at each battery power station, and a remote server executes the job according to this time schedule. A processing unit of the remote server detects the processor utilization of its corresponding processing unit and determines whether the processor utilization exceeds a preset threshold. When the processor utilization exceeds the preset threshold, the remote server adjusts the time schedule for the corresponding job, and the job is executed according to the adjusted time schedule.

[0007] An embodiment of the present invention provides a battery power station job scheduling management system based on processor utilization, comprising a battery power station and a remote server. The battery power station includes multiple batteries, and charges each battery and provides a battery swapping service. The remote server includes a network connection unit, a storage unit, and a processing unit. The network connection unit is coupled to the battery power station via a network. The storage unit has a time schedule for at least one job of the corresponding battery power station, wherein the remote server executes the job according to the time schedule. The processing unit detects a processor utilization rate of the corresponding processing unit and determines whether the processor utilization rate exceeds a preset threshold. When the processor utilization rate exceeds the preset threshold, the processing unit adjusts the time schedule of the corresponding job and executes the job according to the adjusted time schedule.

[0008] In some embodiments, a job is executed at a time as defined in a time schedule, wherein the job utilizes a remote server to transmit an instruction to a battery power station via a network. In response to the instruction, the battery power station executes a specific job, obtains an execution result for that specific job, and transmits the execution result to the remote server via the network.

[0009] In some embodiments, the battery power station performs a specific task to obtain battery information for each battery, wherein the battery information includes at least battery identification data and battery charge for each battery. The battery power station transmits the execution result, containing the battery information for each battery, to a remote server via a network.

[0010] In some embodiments, when processor utilization exceeds a preset threshold, the time schedule of the corresponding job is adjusted using a remote server to postpone a time defined in the time schedule by a predetermined time, to a specific time. At the specific time, the remote server determines whether the processor utilization exceeds the preset threshold. If the processor utilization does not exceed the preset threshold, the job is executed. If the processor utilization exceeds the preset threshold, the time schedule of the corresponding job is adjusted again using a remote server.

[0011] In some embodiments, when the processor utilization exceeds a preset threshold, a notification is generated and transmitted to an electronic device or a mobile device via a network.

[0012] The method described above can exist in the form of program code. When the program code is loaded into and executed by a machine, the machine becomes an apparatus for implementing the present invention.

[0041] Figure 4This invention discloses a battery power station job scheduling management method based on processor utilization according to an embodiment of the present invention. The battery power station job scheduling management method based on processor utilization according to an embodiment of the present invention is applicable to a remote server and a battery power station.

[0042] First, as in step S402, a battery power station is used to charge multiple batteries and provide them for an exchange operation. It is worth noting that during the exchange operation, the user can place a specific battery into the battery power station. Corresponding to the battery placement, the battery power station can select one of the batteries and provide the selected battery to the user. As in step S404, a time schedule for at least one task corresponding to this battery power station is provided on the remote server. It is noteworthy that the time schedule can record the execution time of the corresponding task. Next, as in step S406, a processing unit of the remote server detects a processor utilization rate of the corresponding processing unit, and as in step S408, determines whether the processor utilization rate exceeds a preset threshold. It is worth noting that in some embodiments, the remote server can perform step S406 and the determination in step S408 only after the execution time has elapsed. Note that in some embodiments, the preset threshold can be set to 90%. It is worth noting that the aforementioned preset threshold is merely an example of this invention, and the invention is not limited thereto. The preset threshold can be set according to different needs and applications. When the processor utilization does not exceed the preset threshold (No in step S408), as in step S412, the remote server executes the corresponding battery power station's work according to this time schedule. When the processor utilization exceeds the preset threshold (Yes in step S408), as in step S410, the remote server adjusts the time schedule of the corresponding work, such as delaying the execution time by a predetermined time, and as in step S412, executes the work according to the adjusted time schedule. It should be noted that the remote server will only execute the work when the execution time arrives. It is worth noting that in some embodiments, when the processor utilization exceeds the preset threshold, the remote server can generate a notification and transmit the notification via the network to an electronic device or a mobile device, such as a manager's smartphone.

[0043] Figure 5 This invention illustrates a method for performing operations on a battery power station according to an embodiment of the present invention. When the remote server performs an operation, firstly, as in step S502, the remote server transmits a command to the battery power station via a network, such as a wired network, a telecommunications network, or a wireless network, such as a Wi-Fi network. As in step S504, in response to the command, the battery power station performs a specific task and obtains an execution result for that specific task. Next, as in step S506, the battery power station transmits the execution result to the remote server via the network.

[0044] Figure 6This invention illustrates a method for performing the operation of a battery power station according to another embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the specific operation is a battery information management operation. First, as in step S602, the battery power station performs the specific operation to obtain battery information for each battery. Notably, the battery information may include at least battery identification data and battery charge for each battery. Next, as in step S604, the battery power station transmits the execution result containing the battery information for each battery to a remote server via a network.

[0045] Figure 7 This invention illustrates a battery power station job scheduling management method based on processor utilization according to another embodiment of the present invention. The battery power station job scheduling management method based on processor utilization according to this embodiment is applicable to a remote server and a battery power station. In this embodiment, when the remote server determines that the processor utilization exceeds a preset threshold at the originally scheduled execution time, the remote server can adjust the time schedule of the corresponding job to postpone a time defined in the time schedule by a predetermined time, to a specific time. As in step S702, at the specific time, the processor utilization of the corresponding processing unit is detected by the processing unit of the remote server, and as in step S704, it is determined whether the processor utilization exceeds the preset threshold. It should be noted that the preset threshold can be set according to different needs and applications. When the processor utilization does not exceed the preset threshold (No in step S704), as in step S708, the remote server executes the corresponding job of the battery power station according to this time schedule. When the processor utilization exceeds a preset threshold (as in step S704), as in step S706, the time schedule for the corresponding task is readjusted using a remote server. Similarly, in some embodiments, when the processor utilization exceeds the preset threshold, the remote server can generate a notification and transmit the notification via a network to an electronic device or a mobile device, such as a manager's smartphone.

[0046] Therefore, the battery power station work scheduling management method and system based on processor utilization in this case can properly manage the fixed-schedule battery power station work schedule according to the processor utilization of the remote server, thereby increasing the reliability and stability of the system and overall service provision.
