Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] In addition, in the electric two-wheeler industry, more commercial applications are being developed. For example, commercial applications such as short-term rental of electric two-wheelers and rental of batteries used in electric two-wheelers have already been promoted in the market related to electric two-wheelers. In related commercial applications, while providing a good experience for users of electric two-wheelers, in order to ensure the rights and interests of the operator himself, the operator must perform appropriate management and control on the electric two-wheeler.

[0006] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a method and a control system for controlling a power switch of a vehicle that can achieve the above-mentioned goals.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0007] As means for achieving the above object, the present invention provides the following method and control system for controlling a power switch of a vehicle.

[0008] The method for controlling a power switch of a vehicle according to the present invention is applied to a vehicle. First, it is determined whether the vehicle can be communicably connected to the vehicle via a network using a cloud server. When the cloud server can be communicably connected to the vehicle, the cloud server transmits a first command to the vehicle via the network, and the first command is a command related to turning on or off the power switch of the vehicle. After the vehicle receives the first command, it is determined whether the vehicle is in a running state. When the vehicle is in the running state, the vehicle ignores the first command. When the vehicle is not in the running state, the power switch corresponding to the vehicle is controlled according to the first command to turn on or off the power switch.

[0009] The control system for the power switch of a vehicle according to the present invention includes a vehicle and a cloud server. The vehicle includes a network connection unit, a power switch, and a processing unit. The processing unit is electrically connected to the network connection unit and the power switch. The cloud server is configured to determine whether it can be communicably connected to the vehicle via a network. When the cloud server is communicably connected to the vehicle, the cloud server transmits a first command to the vehicle via the network, and the first command is a command related to turning on or off the power switch of the vehicle. After the vehicle receives the first command, the processing unit of the vehicle determines whether the vehicle is in a running state. If the vehicle is in the running state, the first command is ignored. If the vehicle is not in the running state, the power switch corresponding to the vehicle is controlled according to the first command to turn on or off the power switch.

[0010] In some embodiments, when the cloud server cannot be communicably connected to the vehicle via the network, the cloud server does not transmit the first command to the vehicle.

[0011] In some embodiments, when the cloud server can be communicably connected to the vehicle via the network, a second command is transmitted to the vehicle via the network, and the second command is a command related to forcibly turning off the power switch of the vehicle. After the vehicle receives the second command, it determines whether the vehicle is in a running state. If the vehicle is not in the running state, the vehicle controls the power switch corresponding to the vehicle according to the second command to turn off the power switch. If the vehicle is in the running state, the vehicle delays the execution of the second command, and when the vehicle is no longer in the running state, the second command is executed to turn off the power switch corresponding to the vehicle.

[0012] In some embodiments, when the cloud server cannot be communicably connected to the vehicle via the network, it continues to determine whether the cloud server can be communicably connected to the vehicle via the network, and after communicably connecting to the vehicle, it transmits the second command to the vehicle via the network.

[0013] In some embodiments, the cloud server transmits a second command to a user device corresponding to the vehicle via the network. The user device is used to communicably connect to the vehicle and transmit the second command to the vehicle. After the vehicle receives the second command, the vehicle determines whether it is in the driving state. When the vehicle is not in the driving state, the vehicle controls the power switch corresponding to the vehicle according to the second command to turn off the power switch. When the vehicle is in the driving state, the execution of the second command is delayed, and when the vehicle is no longer in the driving state, the second command is executed to turn off the power switch corresponding to the vehicle.

[0014] The method for controlling the power switch of a vehicle according to the present invention is applied to a vehicle. First, it is determined whether the cloud server can be communicably connected to the vehicle via the network. When the cloud server can be communicably connected to the vehicle, the cloud server transmits a second command to the vehicle via the network, and the second command is a command related to forcibly turning off the power switch of the vehicle. After the vehicle receives the second command, the vehicle determines whether it is in the driving state. When the vehicle is not in the driving state, the vehicle controls the power switch corresponding to the vehicle according to the second command to turn off the power switch. When the vehicle is in the driving state, the vehicle delays the execution of the second command, and when the vehicle is no longer in the driving state, the second command is executed to turn off the power switch corresponding to the vehicle.

[0015] The vehicle power switch control system according to the present invention includes a vehicle and a cloud server. The vehicle includes a network connection unit, a power switch, and a processing unit. The processing unit is electrically connected to the network connection unit and the power switch. The cloud server is configured to determine whether it can be communicably connected to the vehicle via a network. When the cloud server is communicably connected to the vehicle, the cloud server transmits a second command to the vehicle via the network, and the second command is a command related to forcibly turning off the power switch of the vehicle. After receiving the second command, the vehicle determines whether the vehicle is in a running state. If the vehicle is not in the running state, the vehicle controls the power switch corresponding to the vehicle according to the second command to turn off the power switch. If the vehicle is in the running state, the vehicle delays the execution of the second command, and when the vehicle is no longer in the running state, the vehicle executes the second command to turn off the power switch corresponding to the vehicle.

[0016] The method according to the present invention described above can be implemented as a set of program codes. When the program codes are executed by a device, the device is transformed into an apparatus for implementing the method of the present invention.

Advantages of the Invention

[0017] According to the vehicle power switch control method and control system of the present invention, since the cloud server can be used to perform related control on the vehicle power switch via a network, it is possible to provide functions related to more excellent flexibility and reasonable management and control, and while providing a good experience for vehicle users, it is also possible to ensure the rights and interests of the operator himself.

The processing unit 350 can perform the method for controlling the power switch of the vehicle according to the present invention, which will be described later, together with the cloud server 120.

[0039] It should be noted that in some embodiments, the electric vehicle 300 of this embodiment includes a storage unit (not shown), and the storage unit is configured to be able to store information related to the electric vehicle and the battery.

[0040] With reference to FIG. 4, the configuration of the control system for the power switch of the vehicle according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described. Here, FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram showing the configuration of the control system 100 for the power switch of the vehicle according to another embodiment of the present invention.

[0041] The control system 100 for the power switch of the vehicle according to another embodiment of the present invention includes at least a vehicle 110, a cloud server 120, and a user device 140. As shown in FIG. 4, the vehicle 110, the cloud server 120, and the user device 140 can be communicably connected to each other via a network 130.

[0042] Similarly, in some embodiments, the network can be a wired network, a telecommunications network, or a wireless network (e.g., Wi-Fi, Bluetooth®, etc.).

[0043] In this embodiment, the user device 140 is a mobile device (e.g., a smartphone) owned by a user corresponding to the vehicle. Note that the above-described user device is merely an example of the present application and does not limit the present invention.

[0044] It should be noted that the user device 140 can be paired with the vehicle 110, can be electrically connected to the vehicle 110, and can transfer data with the vehicle 110.

[0045] It should be noted that the cloud server 120 can be an electronic device. The cloud server 120 can simultaneously manage vehicles at the same location or different locations via the network 130, and a plurality of battery energy stations.

[0046] It should be noted that the battery energy station has a plurality of batteries and can provide those batteries to at least one electric vehicle (e.g., an electric car or an electric motorcycle).

[0047] Here, the vehicle 110, the cloud server 120, and the user device 140 can all perform the control method of the vehicle power switch according to the present invention described below.

[0048] Hereinafter, the control method of the vehicle power switch according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. (First Embodiment) The control method of the vehicle power switch according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 5. Here, FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the control method of the vehicle power switch according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

[0049] The control method of the power switch of the vehicle according to the first embodiment of the present invention is applied to the vehicle and the cloud server.

[0050] As shown in FIG. 5, the control method of the power switch of the vehicle according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps S510 to S580.

[0051] First, in step S510, it is determined whether the cloud server can be communicably connected to the vehicle via the network.

[0052] It should be noted that in some embodiments, the network can be a wired network, a telecommunications network, or a wireless network (e.g., Wi-Fi, Bluetooth (registered trademark), etc.).

[0053] If the cloud server can be communicably connected to the vehicle (Yes in step S520), the flow proceeds to step S530.

[0054] In step S530, the cloud server transmits a first command to the vehicle via the network. Here, the first command is a command related to turning on or off the power switch of the vehicle.

[0055] If the cloud server cannot be communicably connected to the vehicle via the network (No in step S520), the flow proceeds to step S540.

[0056] In step S540, the cloud server does not transmit the first command to the vehicle.

[0057] In step S550, after the vehicle receives the first command, the vehicle (e.g., the processing unit in the vehicle) determines whether the vehicle is in a running state.

[0058] If the vehicle is in a running state (Yes in step S560), the flow proceeds to step S570.

[0059] In step S570, the vehicle ignores the first command. In other words, when the vehicle is in a driving state, it does not execute the first command.

[0060] When the vehicle is not in a driving state (No in step S560), the flow proceeds to step S580.

[0061] In step S580, the vehicle controls the power switch corresponding to the vehicle according to the first command to turn on or off the power switch. (Second Embodiment) With reference to FIG. 6, a method for controlling a power switch of a vehicle according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. Here, FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing a method for controlling a power switch of a vehicle according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

[0062] The method for controlling a power switch of a vehicle according to the second embodiment of the present invention is applied to the vehicle and the cloud server.

[0063] As shown in FIG. 6, the method for controlling a power switch of a vehicle according to the second embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps S610 to S670.

[0064] First, in step S610, it is determined whether it is possible to connect the cloud server to communicate with the vehicle via a network.

[0065] Similarly, in some embodiments, the network can be a wired network, a telecommunications network, or a wireless network (e.g., Wi-Fi, Bluetooth (registered trademark), etc.).

[0066] When the cloud server cannot be connected to communicate with the vehicle via the network (No in step S620), the flow returns to step S610.

[0067] When the cloud server can be communicably connected to the vehicle (Yes in step S620), the flow proceeds to step S630.

[0068] In step S630, the cloud server transmits a second command to the vehicle via the network. Here, the second command is a command related to forcibly turning off the power switch of the vehicle.

[0069] In step S640, after the vehicle receives the second command, the vehicle (for example, the processing unit in the vehicle) determines whether the vehicle is in a driving state.

[0070] If the vehicle is in a driving state (Yes in step S650), the flow proceeds to step S660.

[0071] In step S660, the execution of the second command is delayed, and the flow returns to step S640 to continue determining whether the vehicle is in a driving state.

[0072] If the vehicle is not in a driving state (No in step S650), the flow proceeds to step S670.

[0073] In step S670, the vehicle controls the power switch corresponding to the vehicle according to the second command to forcibly turn off the power switch. In other words, when the vehicle is in a driving state, the execution of the second command by the vehicle is delayed, and when the vehicle is no longer in a driving state, the second command is executed to turn off the power switch corresponding to the vehicle. (Third Embodiment) With reference to FIG. 7, a method for controlling a power switch of a vehicle according to a third embodiment of the present invention will be described. Here, FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a method for controlling a power switch of a vehicle according to a third embodiment of the present invention.

[0074] The method for controlling a power switch of a vehicle according to the third embodiment of the present invention is applied to a vehicle and a cloud server.

[0075] As shown in FIG. 7, the method for controlling the power switch of a vehicle according to the third embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps S702 to S724.

[0076] First, in step S702, it is determined whether the cloud server can be communicably connected to the vehicle via the network.

[0077] Similarly, in some embodiments, the network can be a wired network, a telecommunications network, or a wireless network (e.g., Wi-Fi, Bluetooth (registered trademark), etc.).

[0078] If the cloud server cannot be communicably connected to the vehicle via the network (No in step S704), the flow proceeds to step S706.

[0079] In step S706, it is determined whether the command sent by the cloud server this time is a first command or a second command. Here, the first command is a command related to turning on or off the power switch of the vehicle, and the second command is a command related to forcibly turning off the power switch of the vehicle.

[0080] If the sent command is the second command, the flow returns to step S702. If the sent command is the first command, the flow proceeds to step S708.

[0081] In step S708, the cloud server does not send the first command.

[0082] If the cloud server can be communicably connected to the vehicle via the network (Yes in step S704), the flow proceeds to step S710.

[0083] In step S710, the cloud server sends a command to the vehicle via the network.

[0084] In step S712, after the vehicle receives a command, the vehicle (for example, a processing unit in the vehicle) determines whether the vehicle is in a driving state.

[0085] If the vehicle is in a driving state (Yes in step S714), the flow proceeds to step S716.

[0086] In step S716, it is determined whether the command received by the vehicle is a first command or a second command.

[0087] If the transmitted command is a second command, the flow returns to step S712.

[0088] If the transmitted command is a first command, the flow proceeds to step S718.

[0089] In step S718, the vehicle ignores the first command. In other words, if the vehicle is in a driving state, it does not execute the first command.

[0090] If the vehicle is not in a driving state (No in step S714), the flow proceeds to step S720.

[0091] In step S720, it is determined whether the command received by the vehicle is a first command or a second command.

[0092] If the transmitted command is a first command, the flow proceeds to step S722.

[0093] In step S722, the vehicle controls the power switch corresponding to the vehicle according to the first command to turn the power switch on or off.

[0094] If the transmitted command is a second command, the flow proceeds to step S724.

[0095] In step S724, the vehicle controls the power switch corresponding to the vehicle in response to the second command to forcibly turn off the power switch. As described above, when the vehicle is in a running state, the vehicle delays the execution of the second command, and when the vehicle is no longer in a running state, the second command is executed to turn off the power switch corresponding to the vehicle. (Fourth Embodiment) With reference to FIG. 8, a method for controlling a power switch of a vehicle according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described. Here, FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a method for controlling a power switch of a vehicle according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention.

[0096] The method for controlling the power switch of the vehicle according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention is applied to the vehicle and the cloud server.

[0097] As shown in FIG. 8, the method for controlling the power switch of the vehicle according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps S810 to S860.

[0098] First, in step S810, the cloud server transmits a second command to the user device corresponding to the vehicle via a network.

[0099] Similarly, in some embodiments, the network can be a wired network, a telecommunications network, or a wireless network (e.g., Wi-Fi, Bluetooth (registered trademark), etc.).

[0100] Here, the second command is a command related to forcibly turning off the power switch of the vehicle.

[0101] Then, in step S820, the user device uses a network (e.g., Wi-Fi, Bluetooth (registered trademark), etc.) to communicatively connect to the vehicle and transmit the second command to the vehicle.

[0102] In step S830, after the vehicle receives the second command, the vehicle (for example, the processing unit in the vehicle) determines whether the vehicle is in a driving state.

[0103] If the vehicle is in a driving state (Yes in step S840), the flow proceeds to step S850.

[0104] In step S850, the execution of the second command is delayed, and the flow returns to step S830 to continue determining whether the vehicle is in a driving state.

[0105] If the vehicle is not in a driving state (No in step S840), the flow proceeds to step S860.

[0106] In step S860, the vehicle controls the power switch corresponding to the vehicle according to the second command to forcibly turn off the power switch. Similarly, when the vehicle is in a driving state, the vehicle delays the execution of the second command, and when the vehicle is no longer in a driving state, the second command is executed to turn off the power switch corresponding to the vehicle.

[0107] Thus, according to the method and control system for controlling the power switch of a vehicle according to the present invention, since related control can be performed on the power switch of the vehicle via a network using a cloud server, in addition to providing functions related to more excellent flexibility and reasonable management and control, while providing a good experience for the vehicle user, the rights and interests of the operator himself can also be ensured.

[0108] Also, the method according to the present invention or a part thereof can be implemented as a set of program codes. The set of program codes can be stored in a physical storage medium such as a floppy disk, a compact disk, a hard disk, or any device-readable (e.g., computer-readable) storage medium, or can be executed as a computer program not limited to a physical form. Here, when the program code is executed by a device (e.g., a computer), the device is transformed into an apparatus for implementing the method of the present invention. Further, the program code can also be transmitted by a transmission medium such as one or more electric wires, cables, optical fibers, or any transmission means. And when the program code is read, loaded, and executed by a device (e.g., a computer), such a device is transformed into an apparatus for implementing the method of the present invention. When this method is executed by a general-purpose processor, the program code can cause the processor to operate as a specific device having the same function as an application specific integrated circuit (abbreviation: ASIC).

[0109] In the above, many specific details have been shown to facilitate an overall understanding of the present invention. However, it is clear to those skilled in the art that one or more other embodiments can be implemented without showing specific details.

[0110] As described above, the preferred embodiments and variations of the present invention have been explained, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and shall include all modifications and equivalent configurations as various configurations included within the spirit and scope of the broadest interpretation.
