Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of charging pile technology, and in particular to a charging pile order management method, device, equipment, storage medium and program product. Background Technology

[0002] During operation, electric vehicle charging stations continuously generate charging station orders. The order information of these charging station orders must be reliably reported to the operation platform to complete the settlement.

[0003] As a typical embedded device, the microcontroller unit (MCU) of a charging pile has extremely limited memory resources and cannot store unlimited order information for charging pile orders.

[0004] Therefore, we need to know how to manage charging pile orders properly. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This application provides a charging pile order management method, apparatus, equipment, storage medium, and program product, aiming to provide a reasonable charging pile order management solution.

[0006] Firstly, this application provides a charging pile order management method, which includes: obtaining a charging pile order storage pool; the charging pile order storage pool is a statically allocated array of structures; each element in the structure array corresponds to an order storage unit; each order storage unit is used to store the order information of a charging pile order; the order information includes the order status and the creation timestamp; the order status includes unsettled, settled, or settlement failed; determining the priority of each charging pile order based on the order status and creation timestamp in the order information; the priority of a charging pile order with a settled status is lower than the priority of a charging pile order with a settlement failed status; the priority of a charging pile order with a settlement failed status is lower than the priority of a charging pile order with an unsettled status; among charging pile orders with the same order status, the priority of a charging pile order with an earlier creation timestamp is lower than the priority of a charging pile order with a later creation timestamp; in response to the creation of a new order and each order storage unit in the charging pile order storage pool storing order information, overwriting the order information of the new order into the order storage unit of the lowest priority charging pile order.

[0007] It should be understood that current order management strategies typically employ a simple First-In-First-Out (FIFO) overwriting strategy, where newer orders overwrite the oldest ones when the memory pool is full. This method is highly susceptible to critical unsettled orders being overwritten by subsequent settled orders due to their earlier storage location, resulting in permanent data loss and economic losses. The charging pile order management method provided in this application determines the priority of each charging pile order based on its order status and creation timestamp. Specifically, charging pile orders with a settled status have a lower priority than those with a failed settlement status, and vice versa. Within the same order status, charging pile orders with earlier creation timestamps have a lower priority than those with later creation timestamps. This dual priority overwriting strategy, using both order status and creation timestamps, ensures that high-value unsettled orders (such as recently completed charging orders) are not easily overwritten by low-priority orders (such as settled or failed orders), significantly reducing the risk of order loss.

[0008] Furthermore, this application uses a static structure array to manage the charging pile order storage pool, eliminating the need for dynamic memory allocation or complex data structures (such as linked lists or queues), thus avoiding memory fragmentation. It is suitable for low-cost embedded controllers with less than 32KB of RAM. At the same time, the length of the order data field is configurable, balancing flexibility and compactness, and effectively controlling memory write overhead.

[0009] Optionally, the method further includes: periodically reporting the order information of the top M charging pile orders with the highest priority to the operation platform; M is a positive integer; receiving settlement response information sent by the operation platform; the settlement response information is used to indicate whether the reported charging pile order has been successfully settled; updating the order status of the reported charging pile order based on the settlement response information, and updating the priority of the reported charging pile order based on the updated order status.

[0010] Optionally, based on the settlement response information, the order status of the reported charging pile order is updated, including: if the settlement response information indicates that the settlement was successful, the order status of the reported charging pile order is changed to "settled"; if the settlement response information indicates that the number of settlement failures has reached a preset threshold, the order status of the reported charging pile order is changed to "settlement failed".

[0011] The charging pile order management method provided in this application can also periodically report the order information of the top M charging pile orders with the highest priority to the operation platform. If settlement is successful, the order status of the reported charging pile order is changed to "settled." If the number of settlement failures reaches a preset threshold, the order status of the reported charging pile order is changed to "settlement failed." This provides a closed-loop, controllable order reporting and retry control logic, avoiding unnecessary retries from consuming network resources.

[0012] Optionally, the order information of the top M charging pile orders with the highest priority is periodically reported to the operation platform, including: obtaining the network quality parameters of the communication network with the operation platform; in response to the network quality parameters being greater than or equal to the quality parameter threshold, reporting the order information of the top M charging pile orders with the highest priority to the operation platform at a first interval; in response to the network quality parameters being less than the quality parameter threshold, reporting the order information of the top M charging pile orders with the highest priority to the operation platform at a second interval; the second interval is longer than the first interval.

[0013] Optionally, the method further includes: in response to detecting a power failure signal, saving the order information in the charging pile order storage pool to persistent storage space.

[0014] Optionally, the method further includes: in response to power-on, reading order information from the charging pile order storage pool in persistent storage space; updating the order status of charging pile orders with a settlement failure status to unsettled status; and updating the priority of the charging pile orders based on the updated order status.

[0015] The charging pile order management method provided in this application can also save the order information of the charging pile order storage pool to non-volatile memory in the event of a power outage, avoiding data loss due to unexpected power failure. Then, after power is restored, it actively repairs the status of orders that failed to settle, ensuring reliable recovery from abnormal interruptions and improving the end-user experience and the accuracy of operational reconciliation.

[0016] Secondly, this application provides a fatigue driving detection device, which includes an acquisition module and a processing module. The acquisition module is used to acquire a charging pile order storage pool; the charging pile order storage pool is a statically allocated array of structures; each element in the structure array corresponds to an order storage unit; each order storage unit is used to store order information for a charging pile order; the order information includes order status and creation timestamp; the order status includes unsettled, settled, or settlement failed; the processing module is used to determine the priority of each charging pile order based on the order status and creation timestamp in the order information; the priority of a charging pile order with a settled status is lower than the priority of a charging pile order with a settlement failed status; the priority of a charging pile order with a settlement failed status is lower than the priority of a charging pile order with an unsettled status; among charging pile orders with the same order status, the priority of a charging pile order with an earlier creation timestamp is lower than the priority of a charging pile order with a later creation timestamp; in response to the creation of a new order and since each order storage unit in the charging pile order storage pool stores order information, the order information of the new order is overwritten in the order storage unit of the lowest priority charging pile order.

[0017] Optionally, the processing module is also used to periodically report the order information of the top M charging pile orders with the highest priority to the operation platform; M is a positive integer; receive settlement response information sent by the operation platform; the settlement response information is used to indicate whether the reported charging pile order has been successfully settled; based on the settlement response information, update the order status of the reported charging pile order, and update the priority of the reported charging pile order based on the updated order status.

[0018] Optionally, the processing module is specifically used to modify the order status of the reported charging pile order to "settled" when the settlement response information indicates successful settlement; and to modify the order status of the reported charging pile order to "settlement failed" when the number of settlement failures indicated by the settlement response information reaches a preset threshold.

[0019] Optionally, the processing module is specifically used to obtain network quality parameters of the communication network with the operation platform; in response to the network quality parameters being greater than or equal to the quality parameter threshold, to report the order information of the top M charging pile orders with the highest priority to the operation platform according to a first interval period; in response to the network quality parameters being less than the quality parameter threshold, to report the order information of the top M charging pile orders with the highest priority to the operation platform according to a second interval period; the second interval period is greater than the first interval period.

[0020] Optionally, the processing module is also configured to save the order information in the charging pile order storage pool to persistent storage space in response to the detection of a power failure signal.

[0021] Optionally, the processing module is also configured to, in response to a power-on reconnection, read order information from the charging pile order storage pool in persistent storage space; update the order status of charging pile orders with a settlement failure status to unsettled status; and update the priority of charging pile orders based on the updated order status.

Detailed Implementation

[0028] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

The illustrative representations of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics mentioned may be included in any suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.

Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0031] In the embodiments of this application, the words "exemplarily" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations, or explanations. Any embodiment or design described as "exemplarily" or "for example" in the embodiments of this application should not be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments or design solutions. Specifically, the use of the words "exemplarily" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a specific manner.

[0032] In addition, the use of “based on” implies openness and inclusivity, because processes, steps, calculations or other actions “based on” one or more of the stated conditions or values ​​may in practice be based on additional conditions or values ​​beyond those stated.

[0033] During operation, electric vehicle charging stations continuously generate charging station orders. The order information of these charging station orders must be reliably reported to the operation platform to complete the settlement.

[0034] As typical embedded devices, the MCUs of charging stations have extremely limited memory resources and cannot store unlimited order information for charging stations. For example, the Cortex-M0 / M3 has a limited random access memory (RAM) capacity (usually ≤64KB).

[0035] Therefore, we need to know how to manage charging pile orders properly.

[0036] Based on this, embodiments of this application provide a charging pile order management method, apparatus, equipment, storage medium, and program product, aiming to provide a reasonable charging pile order management solution.

[0037] The order management method for charging piles provided in this application embodiment is executed by an order management device. This order management device can be a charging pile; alternatively, it can be a processor within the charging pile (such as the aforementioned MCU); furthermore, it can be a functional module within the charging pile used to execute the order management method, etc. This application embodiment does not impose any limitations on these aspects.

[0038] For the sake of simplicity, the following description will take the order management device as the execution subject of the charging pile order management method provided in the embodiments of this application as an example.

[0039] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating the charging pile order management method provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 1 As shown, the method may include the following steps: S101. Obtain the charging pile order storage pool.

[0040] The charging pile order storage pool is a statically allocated array of structures. Each element in the structure array corresponds to an order storage unit. Each order storage unit is used to store the order information of a charging pile order. The order information includes the order status and creation timestamp. The order status includes unsettled, settled, or settlement failed.

[0041] As an example, the data structure of order information in the order storage unit can be shown in Table 1 below: Table 1 S102. Based on the order status and creation timestamp in the order information, determine the priority of each charging pile order.

[0042] Among them, the priority of charging pile orders with a settlement status is lower than that of charging pile orders with a settlement failure status; the priority of charging pile orders with a settlement failure status is lower than that of charging pile orders with an unsettled status; among charging pile orders with the same order status, the priority of the charging pile order with an earlier creation timestamp is lower than that of the charging pile order with a later creation timestamp.

[0043] For example, Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the order priority of charging piles provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 As shown, the priority of charging pile orders, from low to high, is as follows: orders with earlier creation timestamps and charging pile orders with a settled status. Figure 2 Taking "settled - old" as an example, orders with a later creation timestamp are considered "settled" charging pile orders. Figure 2 Taking "settled - new" as an example, orders with earlier creation timestamps are considered charging pile orders with settlement failure status. Figure 2 Taking the example of "failed - old", orders with later creation timestamps are charging pile orders with a settlement failure status. Figure 2 Taking "failed - new" as an example, orders with earlier creation timestamps are considered unsettled charging pile orders. Figure 2 Taking the example of "unsettled - old", charging pile orders with a later creation timestamp are shown as unsettled. Figure 2 (Example: Unsettled - Old)

[0044] S103. In response to the creation of a new order and the fact that each order storage unit in the charging pile order storage pool stores order information, the order information of the new order is overwritten to the order storage unit of the lowest priority charging pile order.

[0045] As an example, Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the process of finding the lowest priority charging pile order provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 3As shown, the order management device can first initialize the loop, setting i to 0, and then determine whether i is less than the upper limit of the number of order storage units in the charging pile order storage pool. If not, the traversal ends and the lowest index is returned. If yes, it determines whether there is an empty order storage unit in the current charging pile order storage pool. If yes, the traversal ends and the lowest index is returned. If no, it determines whether the current charging pile order is the lowest priority charging pile order. If yes, it records the first candidate and the lowest index. If no, it calls the priority comparison function to compare the current charging pile order with the current lowest priority charging pile order, and determines whether the current charging pile order has the lowest priority. If yes, it updates the current lowest priority charging pile order, updates the lowest index, and increments i by 1. If no, it increments i by 1 and returns the result, determining whether i is less than the upper limit of the number of order storage units in the charging pile order storage pool.

[0046] As an example, suppose the order storage pool includes 20 storage units, containing 12 orders with an unsettled status, 5 orders with failed settlement status, and 3 orders with a settled status. When the 21st new order is generated, the order management device can call the `Alg_Find_Lowest_Order_Index` function. This function first searches for an empty storage unit, which is unsuccessful. Then, it iterates through all orders, applying the `Order_Compare_Priority` rule. Among all orders, charging station orders with a settled status have the lowest priority. Of the three settled orders, the order management device identifies the storage unit with the oldest (earliest) timestamp. Ultimately, the new order will overwrite this identified "lowest-value" storage unit.

[0047] It should be understood that current order management strategies are typically simple First-In-First-Out (FIFO) overwriting strategies, where new orders overwrite the oldest orders when the memory pool is full. This method is highly susceptible to critical unsettled orders being overwritten by subsequent settled orders due to their earlier storage location, resulting in permanent data loss and economic losses. In the charging pile order management method provided in this application, the order management device can determine the priority of each charging pile order based on the order status and creation timestamp in the order information. Specifically, charging pile orders with a settled status have a lower priority than those with a failed settlement status, and vice versa. Within the same order status, charging pile orders with earlier creation timestamps have a lower priority than those with later creation timestamps. This dual priority overwriting strategy based on order status and creation timestamp ensures that high-value unsettled orders (such as recently completed charging orders) are not easily overwritten by low-priority orders (such as settled or failed orders), significantly reducing the risk of order loss.

[0048] Furthermore, this application uses a static structure array to manage the charging pile order storage pool, eliminating the need for dynamic memory allocation or complex data structures (such as linked lists or queues), thus avoiding memory fragmentation. It is suitable for low-cost embedded controllers with less than 32KB of RAM. At the same time, the length of the order data field is configurable, balancing flexibility and compactness, and effectively controlling memory write overhead.

[0049] In some possible embodiments, Figure 4 This is another flowchart illustrating the charging pile order management method provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 4 As shown, after S103 above, the method may further include the following steps: S201. Periodically report the order information of the top M charging pile orders with the highest priority to the operation platform.

[0050] Where M is a positive integer. For example, M can be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6, etc. The embodiments of this application do not limit the specific value of M.

[0051] As an example, Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the process of finding the highest priority charging pile order provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 5As shown, the order management device can first initialize the loop, setting i to 0, and then determine whether i is less than the upper limit of the number of order storage units in the charging pile order storage pool. If not, the traversal ends and the highest index is returned. If yes, it determines whether the current order status is unsettled. If not, the traversal ends and the highest index is returned. If yes, it determines whether the current charging pile order is the highest priority charging pile order. If yes, it records the first candidate and the highest index. If not, it calls the priority comparison function to compare the current charging pile order with the current highest priority charging pile order, and determines whether the current charging pile order has the highest priority. If yes, it updates the current highest priority charging pile order and updates the highest index. If not, it increments i by 1 and returns the result, determining whether i is less than the upper limit of the number of order storage units in the charging pile order storage pool.

[0052] As an example, the order management device can obtain network quality parameters of the communication network with the operation platform; in response to the network quality parameters being greater than or equal to the quality parameter threshold, it reports the order information of the top M charging pile orders with the highest priority to the operation platform at a first interval; in response to the network quality parameters being less than the quality parameter threshold, it reports the order information of the top M charging pile orders with the highest priority to the operation platform at a second interval; the second interval is greater than the first interval.

[0053] For example, the order management device can determine network quality by pinging the gateway or detecting the TCP connection success rate, that is, using the connection success rate as a network quality parameter. When the connection success rate is greater than 80%, the reporting period is set to 10 seconds; when the connection success rate is less than 80%, the reporting period is set to 30 seconds.

[0054] S202. Receive settlement response information sent by the operation platform.

[0055] The settlement response information is used to indicate whether the reported charging pile order has been successfully settled.

[0056] S203. Based on the settlement response information, update the order status of the reported charging pile order, and update the priority of the reported charging pile order based on the updated order status.

[0057] As an example, if the settlement response information indicates that the settlement was successful, the order management device can change the order status of the reported charging pile order to "settled".

[0058] As another example, if the number of settlement failures indicated by the settlement response information reaches a preset threshold, the order management device can change the order status of the reported charging pile order to settlement failure.

[0059] The preset threshold number of times can be set to 3, 4, 5, or 6 times, etc. This application embodiment does not limit the specific number of times the preset threshold number of times is set.

[0060] In the charging pile order management method provided in this application embodiment, the order management device can also periodically report the order information of the top M charging pile orders with the highest priority to the operation platform. If settlement is successful, the order status of the reported charging pile order is changed to "settled." If the number of settlement failures reaches a preset threshold, the order status of the reported charging pile order is changed to "settlement failed." This provides a closed-loop controllable order reporting and retry control logic, avoiding invalid retries from consuming network resources.

[0061] In some possible embodiments, the order management device may also save the order information in the charging pile order storage pool to a non-volatile memory (e.g., Flash or Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory, EEPROM) in response to the detection of a power failure signal.

[0062] In some possible embodiments, the order management device may also, in response to a power-on re-energization, read order information from the charging pile order storage pool in non-volatile memory; update the order status of charging pile orders with a settlement failure status to unsettled status; and update the priority of charging pile orders based on the updated order status.

[0063] For example, suppose the charging station experiences an unexpected power outage due to grid fluctuations. Within a millisecond window before the complete power loss, the hardware detects a voltage drop and triggers an interrupt. The charging station may be equipped with an onboard supercapacitor to ensure sufficient time after the power failure to atomically write all data from the charging station's order storage pool to non-volatile memory within the interrupt service routine. The next day, the charging station is powered on again. After the order management device's initialization code reads data from the non-volatile memory into memory, it executes a recovery routine: it iterates through the charging station's order storage pool and finds three orders with a settlement failure status. The order management device can reset the status of these orders to unsettled and clear their settlement failure count to zero. Subsequently, when the reporting task runs, these previously abandoned orders will re-enter the reporting queue as new unsettled orders, gaining another chance for settlement.

[0064] In the charging pile order management method provided in this application embodiment, the order management device can also save the order information of the charging pile order storage pool to a non-volatile memory in the event of a power outage, avoiding data loss due to accidental power failure. Then, after power is restored, it actively repairs the status of orders that failed to settle, ensuring reliable recovery from abnormal interruptions and improving the end-user experience and operational reconciliation accuracy.

[0065] The foregoing primarily describes the solutions provided by the embodiments of this application from a methodological perspective. To achieve the aforementioned functions, each device, such as an order management device, includes corresponding hardware structures and / or software modules for executing each function. Those skilled in the art should readily recognize that, in conjunction with the algorithmic steps of the examples described in the embodiments disclosed herein, this application can be implemented in hardware or a combination of hardware and computer software. Whether a function is executed in hardware or by computer software driving hardware depends on the specific application and design constraints of the technical solution. Experts may use different methods to implement the described functions for each specific application, but such implementation should not be considered beyond the scope of this application.

[0066] This application embodiment can divide the order management device into functional modules according to the above method embodiment. For example, each function can be divided into a separate functional module, or two or more functions can be integrated into one functional module. The integrated module can be implemented in hardware or software. It should be noted that the module division in this application embodiment is illustrative and only represents one logical functional division. In actual implementation, there may be other division methods. The following description uses the example of dividing each functional module according to each function.

[0068] The acquisition module 601 is used to acquire the charging pile order storage pool; the charging pile order storage pool is a statically allocated array of structures; each element in the structure array corresponds to an order storage unit; each order storage unit is used to store the order information of a charging pile order; the order information includes the order status and creation timestamp; the order status includes unsettled, settled, or settlement failed; The processing module 602 is used to determine the priority of each charging pile order based on the order status and creation timestamp in the order information; the priority of charging pile orders with a settlement status is lower than the priority of charging pile orders with a settlement failure status; the priority of charging pile orders with a settlement failure status is lower than the priority of charging pile orders with an unsettled status; among charging pile orders with the same order status, the priority of the charging pile order with an earlier creation timestamp is lower than the priority of the charging pile order with a later creation timestamp; in response to the creation of a new order and since each order storage unit in the charging pile order storage pool stores order information, the order information of the new order is overwritten in the order storage unit of the lowest priority charging pile order.
