Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of managing the operation of electric bicycles, and in particular, a computer program controls the startup and operation of electric bicycles, power trading, and a carbon credit calculation system, which can solve the problems of high cost and resource waste in built-in batteries, and can provide convenience and versatility in use, promote the environmental protection movement, and support the environmental protection movement. The present invention relates to an operation method, a computer program, and a system in a battery-free electric bicycle.

Background Art

[0002] Small electric bicycles such as electric scooters, electric bicycles, electric assist bicycles, or electric kick scooters are all powered by built-in batteries to supply the power required to drive the drive motor.

[0003] However, an electric bicycle with a battery mounted on the vehicle body not only incurs the cost of the battery and increases the load of the vehicle, but also when the time of riding the electric bicycle is not much, the battery is left unused for a long time, resulting in problems of power outflow and power loss, and energy is wasted.

[0004] Currently, all electric bicycles are equipped with batteries of 300 to 500 watts. For example, taking Europe, which currently has thousands of electric bicycles, as an example, the total power of these electric bicycles is about 5 billion watts, which is equivalent to the power of a thermal power plant. Each electric bicycle can travel about 70 kilometers each time with a fully charged battery, but more than 85% of the users travel less than 15 kilometers a day. That is, about 3.4 billion watts of power is left unused and flows out every day, resulting in energy loss and waste. How to improve the battery problem of the above-described non-operating electric bicycles and solve the problems of high battery cost and resource waste is a very important problem at present and also the problem explored by the present invention.

Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention aims to provide an operating method, computer program, and system for a battery-less electric bicycle that allows the user to start and operate the electric bicycle using a mobile power calculator, thereby reducing the load and battery costs of the electric bicycle, and preventing the battery from being left unused for long periods of time, thereby reducing energy waste.

[0006] The present invention further aims to provide an operating method, computer program, and system for a battery-less electric bicycle that can be unlocked and started by remote pairing, thereby increasing its usability and versatility, and also providing an anti-theft effect.

[0007] The present invention further aims to provide an operating method, computer program, and system for a battery-less electric bicycle that can perform carbon credit calculation and trading of electric bicycles using a server device or mobile power calculator, thereby creating an economy that achieves carbon dioxide reduction and raises environmental awareness.

[0008] The present invention further aims to provide an operating method, computer program, and system for a battery-less electric bicycle that can reduce carbon dioxide emissions and create a sharing economy while considering environmental protection, by enabling the mobile power calculator to be converted into the necessary digital currency at the time of transaction by a server device.

[0009] The present invention further aims to provide an operating method, computer program, and system for a battery-less electric bicycle that can generate economic benefits by enabling the trading of shared electric bicycles using a mobile power calculator.

[0010] The present invention further aims to provide an operating method, computer program, and system for a battery-less electric bicycle that ensures the energy asset is fully and efficiently utilized by allowing the mobile power calculator to be easily removed from the electric bicycle and carried with it, and subsequently used in other electric drive devices, thus preventing it from being left unused and ensuring that the stored power is fully and efficiently utilized. [Means for solving the problem]

[0011] The operating method, computer program, and system for a battery-less electric bicycle of the present invention comprises a server device, at least one power connection sensor, and at least one mobile power calculator. The server device responds to at least one command and executes at least one computer program to process data. The at least one power connection sensor is provided on the battery-less electric bicycle and selectively drives the electric bicycle. The plurality of power connection sensors are communicated with the server device and detect at least one driving parameter of the electric bicycle. The at least one mobile power calculator is selectively and electrically connected to the plurality of power connection sensors and supplies power to drive the electric bicycle. The plurality of mobile power calculators are communicated with the server device and have power storage and charging / discharging functions. By electrically connecting a user-owned mobile power calculator to the plurality of power connection sensors, the battery-less electric bicycle is driven by the power stored in the user's mobile power calculator. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0012] [Figure 1] This is a diagram showing the configuration of the system in the present invention. [Figure 2]This figure shows the system of the present invention in actual application. [Figure 3] The present invention's method is shown below. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0013] The main structure of the operating system for the battery-less electric bicycle of the present invention is shown in Figures 1 and 2. The system consists of a server device 10, at least one power connection sensor 20 provided on the electric bicycle, and at least one portable power accounting device 30 that can be carried by the user. The server device 10 has the functions of registration and authentication, sending and receiving data commands, executing transactions, recording carbon dioxide emissions, calculating carbon credits, memory, and communication. The plurality of power connection sensors 20 have the functions of detecting driving parameters connected to the electric bicycle (for example, parameters for completing operational tasks such as rotational speed, positioning, distance traveled, load, energy consumption, speed, or operating time, which are necessary for calculating carbon credits), sending and receiving data commands, receiving power to the electric bicycle, and communication. The electric bicycle is a battery-less electric bicycle, and the plurality of mobile power calculators 30 have functions for power storage, power-to-digital currency conversion, selective charging and discharging, transaction execution, carbon dioxide emission recording, carbon credit calculation, memory, and communication. As a result, the plurality of mobile power calculators 30 can selectively connect to the power connection sensors 20 of the electric bicycle, thereby supplying the operating power required by the electric bicycle using the power stored in the mobile power calculators 30. Furthermore, the plurality of mobile power calculators 30 and the plurality of power connection sensors 20 are selectively connected to the server device 10 for communication, thereby transmitting data and commands.

[0014] The method of the present invention can be applied to the above-described system, and the process is as follows.

[0015] a. The electric bicycle's power connection sensor detects when the mobile power calculator is electrically connected to the electric bicycle's power connection sensor. The user inserts the mobile power calculator 30, which stores the user's power, into the electric bicycle and electrically connects it to the power connection sensor 20. As a result, the electric bicycle's power connection sensor 20 detects that the mobile power calculator 30 is electrically connected to the electric bicycle's power connection sensor, and the mobile power calculator 30 becomes ready to transmit power to the electric bicycle.

[0016] b. The registration data of the mobile power calculator and the power connection sensor is transmitted to the server device for authentication. After the electric bicycle's power connection sensor 20 confirms that the mobile power calculator 30 is electrically connected to the power connection sensor, the mobile power calculator 30 and the power connection sensor 20 are activated simultaneously and their registration data is transmitted to the server device 10, thereby performing authentication of the power connection sensor 20 and the mobile power calculator 30.

[0017] c. Upon successful authentication, the mobile power calculator is notified, and power is supplied to the electric bicycle. When the server device 10 confirms that the electric bicycle's power connection sensor 20 and the mobile power calculator 30 belong to a legally registered user, the server device 10 immediately notifies the mobile power calculator 30 and provides power to the electric bicycle connected to the power connection sensor 20. Based on several embodiments, this can also serve as a theft prevention measure for personal electric bicycles. When the server device 10 confirms that the mobile power calculator 30 is linked to the electric bicycle's power connection sensor 20, the electric bicycle's power connection sensor 20 can be unlocked. Conversely, if the mobile power calculator 30 is not linked to the electric bicycle's power connection sensor 20, the user cannot start the electric bicycle, thus creating a theft prevention effect. Furthermore, based on several embodiments, this can be applied to shared electric bicycle rentals. When the server device 10 confirms that the mobile power calculator 30 and the electric bicycle's power connection sensor 20 are legally registered users, it can activate the rental service and transactions for the mobile power calculator 30. Conversely, if either the power connection sensor 20 or the mobile power calculator 30 is a fraudulently registered user, the electric bicycle rental service will be suspended.

[0018] d, the power connection sensor detects at least one operating parameter of the electric bicycle. When the power connection sensor 20 of the electric bicycle is legally activated, the power connection sensor 20 can detect the operating parameters of the electric bicycle. The operating parameters include, but are not limited to, the rotational speed, positioning, distance traveled, load, energy consumption, speed, or operating time of the electric bicycle, which are necessary for completing operational tasks such as calculating carbon credits.

[0019] e. Transmit the operation parameters to the server device and the mobile power calculation device. When the electric bicycle completes the previous operation, after the power connection sensor 20 detects the plurality of operation parameters, it transmits the operation parameters including the above-mentioned carbon credit calculation or transaction to the server device 10 and the mobile power calculation device 30.

[0020] f. An operation task is completed according to the operation parameters. When the server device 10 and the mobile power calculation device 30 receive the operation parameters, an operation task can be completed according to the operation parameters. The operation task can be carbon emission calculation and carbon credit calculation for carbon dioxide reduction, digital currency transaction, or transaction calculation for shared rental.

[0021] Furthermore, the present invention includes a computer program product. The computer program product includes program code instructions. When the program code instructions are executed in the server device 10, the power connection sensor 20, and the mobile power calculation device 30, it can be executed by the above-mentioned method, and the operation tasks of at least one electric bicycle can be completed.

[0022] The actual usage method of the present invention can be further understood through the following embodiments.

[0023] (Embodiment 1) Start and operate a battery-less electric bicycle.

[0024] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the battery-less electric bicycle is provided with a power connection sensor 20, and the user has at least one mobile power calculation device 30. Each of the mobile power calculation devices 30 stores a power capacity and a digital currency for executing power trading, and can supply stored power for charging and discharging. The user connects the mobile power calculation device 30 he owns to the power connection sensor 20 of the electric bicycle on which he rides. When it is detected by the power connection sensor 20 that the mobile power calculation device 30 is completely electrically connected, the power stored in the mobile power calculation device 30 is supplied by the power connection sensor 20 to the drive motor of the electric bicycle. Thus, due to the design of the battery-less electric bicycle, when the user finishes riding, by removing the mobile power calculation device 30, no stored power flows out and no power loss occurs when the electric bicycle is stationary. Since the power of the mobile power calculation device 30 can continue to be used in other electric drive devices, the waste of battery power can be reduced, not only the battery cost and the load of the electric bicycle can be reduced, but also the effect of environmental protection can be brought.

[0025] (Example 2) Release the lock of the battery-less electric bicycle.

[0026] The battery-less electric bicycle equipped with the power connection sensor 20 can be an electric bicycle used by an individual user or family, and the power connection sensor 20 can be linked with at least one mobile power calculator 30. As shown in Figures 1, 2, and 3, when a user connects their personally owned mobile power calculator 30 to the power connection sensor 20 of the electric bicycle they are riding, the power connection sensor 20 detects that the mobile power calculator 30 is fully electrically connected, and registration data of the power connection sensor 20 and the mobile power calculator 30 is transmitted to the server device 10. When the server device 10 authenticates that the power connection sensor 20 is a properly linked mobile power calculator 30, the power stored in the mobile power calculator 30 is supplied to the drive motor of the electric bicycle by the power connection sensor 20, allowing the user to ride the battery-less electric bicycle. Conversely, if the server device 10 authenticates that the mobile power calculator 30 is not a mobile power calculator 30 that is properly connected to the power connection sensor 20, the electrical connection between the mobile power calculator 30 and the power connection sensor 20 is interrupted, preventing the user of the mobile power calculator 30 from boarding, thus achieving the purpose of theft prevention.

[0027] (Example 3) We will launch a shared rental service for electric bicycles that do not have batteries.

[0028] A battery-less electric bicycle equipped with a power connection sensor 20 can be a shared electric bicycle. When a user rents a battery-less electric bicycle using a mobile power calculator 30 owned by the user, the user connects their mobile power calculator 30 to the power connection sensor 20 of the battery-less shared electric bicycle they are riding. The power connection sensor 20 detects that the mobile power calculator 30 is fully electrically connected, and the registration data of the power connection sensor 20 and the mobile power calculator 30 is transmitted to the server device 10. Once the server device 10 authenticates the power connection sensor 20 as a qualified mobile power calculator 30, the user can use the power stored in the mobile power calculator 30 to supply power to the drive motor of the battery-less electric bicycle via the power connection sensor 20, and ride the battery-less electric bicycle. Simultaneously, once the ride is finished, the server device 10 and the mobile power calculator 30 convert the digital currency required for the rental, completing the rental transaction for the battery-less shared electric bicycle.

[0029] (Example 4) Trading carbon credits.

[0030] As shown in Figures 1, 2, and 3, when a user rides the battery-less electric bicycle equipped with a power connection sensor 20, this includes, but is not limited to, a privately owned electric bicycle or a battery-less shared electric bicycle. When a user connects a mobile power calculator 30 owned by the user (including privately owned or shared) to the power connection sensor 20 of the battery-less electric bicycle, the power connection sensor 20 detects that the mobile power calculator 30 is fully electrically connected, and the registration data of the power connection sensor 20 and the mobile power calculator 30 is transmitted to the server device 10 for authentication. As a result, the user can supply the power stored in the mobile power calculator 30 to the drive motor of the battery-less electric bicycle via the power connection sensor 20, and ride the battery-less electric bicycle. When the battery-less electric bicycle starts up and moves forward, the power connection sensor 20 can detect driving parameters, including but not limited to rotational speed, positioning, distance traveled, load, energy consumption, speed, or operating time, while the battery-less electric bicycle is running, and these driving parameters are transmitted to the server device 10 and the mobile power calculator 30. When the server device 10 and the mobile power calculator 30 receive the driving parameters, a calculation of carbon credit transactions is performed based on total carbon dioxide emissions, and the server device 10 completes the carbon credit transaction by converting the carbon credits earned by the user into digital currency and storing it in the user's account and the mobile power calculator 30.

[0031] As can be seen from the above, the system, method, and computer program product of the present invention can be applied to electric bicycles without batteries. By selectively and electrically connecting a mobile power calculator 30 owned by the user to a power connection sensor 20 installed on the electric bicycle without a battery, power is supplied to the electric bicycle from the power capacity stored in the mobile power calculator 30 by the power connection sensor 20. Furthermore, by establishing a communication connection between the power connection sensor 20 and the mobile power calculator 30 and the server device 10, carbon credit and rental transactions are completed. In this way, by removing the mobile power calculator 30 when the user has finished riding, unused stored power does not flow out and power is not lost when the electric bicycle without a battery is stationary, and the power of the mobile power calculator 30 can continue to be used for other electric drive equipment. In this way, the waste of battery power can be reduced, battery costs and the load on the electric bicycle can be reduced, and furthermore, the total carbon dioxide emissions are effectively managed and controlled by the function of the market mechanism, resulting in environmental protection effects. Furthermore, by creating economic effects, the added value of the product can be increased. [Explanation of symbols]
