Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention extracts the unique MAC address of a vehicle, and uses the extracted MAC address of the vehicle and customer information provided at the time of membership registration to perform membership registration procedures, membership authentication procedures, simple payment, and charging procedures, thereby improving customer convenience. In particular, by providing the simple payment and the payment amount to the customer together with the end of charging, the satisfaction of the customer can be enhanced. The present invention relates to a charging system for membership authentication, charging, and simple payment.

Background Art

[0002] Generally, the payment methods in the charging system of an electric vehicle can be divided into simple payment and credit card payment.

[0003] First, in the case of the simple payment method, an RFID card is issued and tagged by a card reader, or a membership number is input and payment is made after approval. In such a case, if the card is lost, not carried during charging, or the membership number is not remembered, payment becomes practically impossible. Also, when inputting the membership number, not only is the input inconvenient, but there is also a problem of being exposed to the risk of theft during the input process of the membership number.

[0004] Next, for the credit card payment method, there are an authorization cancellation method and a partial cancellation method. In the authorization cancellation method, after the customer makes a pre-payment with the card before charging, when charging is completed, the card needs to be inserted again to cancel the pre-payment and then the actual payment has to be made, which is inconvenient.

[0005] Also, in the partial cancellation method, the customer makes a pre-payment with the card before charging, and when charging is completed, the server partially cancels the remaining pre-paid amount excluding the amount corresponding to the actual charging amount.

[0006] In this case, P.G. will exclude only the amount corresponding to the actual charging amount from the pre-payment and purchase it from the credit card company. However, the text message regarding the fact of the partial cancellation may be transmitted from the credit card company to the user two to three days later, or in some cases, the credit card company may not transmit the text message. Therefore, there are inconveniences such as the customer being dissatisfied because the specific information regarding the payment is transmitted late or not transmitted at all from the beginning.

[0007] In addition, since the partial cancellation method involves the settlement being carried out by being entrusted to P.G., the problem is that the fees for this are increased.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0009] The present invention has been proposed to solve the above problems.

[0010] One object of the present invention is to improve the convenience of customers by extracting the unique MAC address of a vehicle and performing the membership registration procedure, membership authentication procedure, simple payment, and charging procedure using the extracted MAC address of the vehicle and the customer information provided at the time of membership registration, and in particular, to increase customer satisfaction by providing the simple payment and the payment amount to the customer together with the completion of charging.

[0011] After a user joins as a member, when connecting a charger to a vehicle charging cable, the present invention matches and updates the MAC address information and customer information extracted from the vehicle to manage the membership, enabling the user to enjoy the convenience of simplified payment through the payment system during membership. Even when the user does not possess the membership card issued at the time of membership, merely connecting the charger to the vehicle charging coupler allows the user to be authenticated as a PnC member, thereby maximizing customer convenience. Another object of the present invention is to provide a membership management service that achieves this.

[0012] The present invention further aims to improve the operational efficiency of the system by storing and managing the MAC address extracted from the vehicle, storing information regarding outstanding payments together with the MAC address thus stored and managed, and enabling the charging history of vehicles using this charging system to be confirmed using the extracted MAC address.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0013] The charging system for member authentication, charging, and convenient payment according to the present invention includes a management server, a charger, and a payment system. In the charging system for member authentication, charging, and payment, (a) selecting a member authentication section and a membership registration section displayed on the main screen of the charger to authenticate a member or start a membership registration procedure; (b) checking whether the user is a registered member or, after providing payment means registration and customer information to the payment system according to the membership registration procedure and confirming the presence or absence of PnC membership after membership registration, connecting the charger and the charging coupler of the vehicle to extract the Mac address of the vehicle for PnC membership; (c) generating a dynamic QR code (registered trademark) on the main screen of the charger from the extracted Mac address of the vehicle and performing matching and updating of the Mac address of the vehicle and customer information at the time of membership registration through recognition of the dynamic QR code (registered trademark) by the customer's terminal; (d) starting charging based on whether the user is authenticated as a member in step (a) or based on the presence or absence of membership - presence or absence of PnC membership through steps (b) and (c); and (e) after charging in step (d), transmitting payment information to the customer's terminal and ending charging through payment approval; and is configured to include these steps.

[0014] In the present invention, when a member is selected by the member authentication section, the member number of the member card is transmitted to the management server when the customer tags the member card on the charger to approve member authentication, charging is started when the charger and the charging coupler of the vehicle are connected, the Mac address is extracted from the vehicle and transmitted to the management server. The management server matches the Mac address of the vehicle and customer information and performs updates, which is characterized by this.

[0015] When the present invention selects a PnC member in the member authentication unit, charging starts when the charger is connected to the charging coupler of the vehicle, the MAC address is extracted from the vehicle and transmitted to the management server and member authentication is approved. However, when the member is a non-PnC member, the management server transmits a response indicating that the member is a non-PnC member to the charger, and the charger is characterized by ending the charging.

[0016] In the case of the non-PnC member of the present invention, it is characterized in that PnC membership, charging, and settlement procedures according to the steps (b) to (e) are performed by selecting PnC membership in the membership addition unit.

[0017] The present invention is characterized in that after the charging is completed, settlement information is transmitted to the customer's terminal, and the charging is ended by settlement.

[0018] When the present invention selects a non-member in the member authentication unit, after setting the charging amount or charging amount in the charger, the charger is connected to the charging coupler of the vehicle to start charging, and the MAC address is extracted from the vehicle and transmitted to the management server. However, when the MAC address of the vehicle exists in the database updated in the management server, it is characterized in that the presence or absence of outstanding charges for the MAC address of the vehicle is confirmed.

[0019] The present invention is characterized in that when there is no outstanding charge for the MAC address of the vehicle, settlement information is transmitted to the customer's terminal at the end of charging.

[0020] After transmitting the settlement information to the customer's terminal, the present invention checks the presence or absence of normal settlement. When the settlement has not been made or only a partial settlement has been carried out, it is characterized in that an update is performed on the outstanding charge information for the MAC address of the vehicle.

[0021] When there is an outstanding charge for the MAC address of the vehicle, the present invention ends the charging, but is characterized in that the charging is continued through the settlement procedure for the outstanding charge.

[0022] The present invention is characterized in that, when a customer settles the charging amount after charging is completed with the charger and uses a credit card, it is configured to enable post-payment settlement.

Advantages of the Invention

[0023] The charging system for membership authentication, charging, and simple settlement according to the present invention extracts the unique MAC address of a vehicle, and uses the extracted MAC address of the vehicle and the customer information provided at the time of membership registration to perform membership registration procedures, membership authentication procedures, simple settlement, and charging procedures, thereby improving the convenience of customers. In particular, by providing simple settlement and the settlement amount to the customer upon completion of charging, the satisfaction of the customer can be increased.

[0024] In addition, the present invention, after membership registration, when connecting the charger and the charging cable of the vehicle, matches and updates the MAC address information extracted from the vehicle and the customer information to manage, thereby enjoying the advantages of simple settlement by the settlement system through membership registration. Even when not holding the membership card issued at the time of membership registration, since it is authenticated as a PnC member only by connecting the charger and the charging coupler of the vehicle, it is possible to provide a membership management service that maximizes the convenience of customers.

[0025] In addition, the present invention stores and manages the MAC address extracted from the vehicle, and manages information on outstanding payments together with the MAC address thus stored and managed, so that the charging history of the vehicle using this charging system can be confirmed with the extracted MAC address, thereby improving the operation efficiency of the system.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0027] In order to explain the present invention, the advantages in operation of the present invention, and the objects achieved by the implementation of the present invention, hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be exemplified and examined in detail with reference to these.

[0028] First, the terms used in this application are merely used to explain specific embodiments, and are not intended to limit the present invention. The singular form may include the plural form unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Also, terms such as "including" or "having" in this application are intended to specify the presence of the features, numbers, steps, operations, components, parts, or combinations thereof described in the specification, and should be understood not to preclude in advance the possibility of the presence or addition of one or more other features, numbers, steps, operations, components, parts, or combinations thereof.

[0029] In the description of the present invention, when it is determined that a detailed description of related known configurations or functions may obscure the gist of the present invention, the detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0030] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the charging system for member authentication, charging, and convenient payment according to the present invention is configured to include a management server 10, a charger 20, and a payment system 30, and will perform procedures for member authentication, registration, charging, payment, etc.

[0031] That is, in the charging system according to the present invention, the management server 10 will provide services such as member authentication reception, charging session, charging billing information, point management, customer center, payment, accounts receivable management, location of charging stations, MAC address authentication, etc.

[0032] Also, the charger 20 installed on-site is connected to the management server 10 in accordance with the international communication protocol to the WebSocket OCPP 2.0 and will perform services such as member authentication, PnC registration, charging session, non-member payment, charging information, accounts receivable payment, vehicle not out information, vehicle linkage, etc.

[0033] The payment system 30 is connected to the management server 10 and the charger 20 so as to be able to communicate in the form of a payment API, and will perform services such as registration of billing keys, payment, etc.

[0034] Here, the billing key is a payment encryption key that can be re-paid at any desired time from the registered customer's card information such as subscription-based periodic payment and usage-based charging payment. The registration of the billing key will be performed once initially through the PG company. This will transmit data through the PG company's payment window and proceed in the same manner as the general authentication method through the PG company's payment window, and the billing key will be directly issued through the API provided by the PG company. In the present invention, the registration of the billing key is issued and registered using the customer's card information at the time of member registration.

[0035] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the charging system according to the present invention includes: (a) a step (S100) of starting member authentication and a membership registration procedure; (b) a step (S200) for membership registration and PnC membership registration; (c) a step (S300) of extracting the MAC address of the vehicle and matching and updating the extracted MAC address with customer information; (d) a step (S400) of starting charging after member authentication, membership registration, and PnC membership registration; and (e) a step (S500) of transmitting the settlement amount to the customer and ending the charging through settlement.

[0036] As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 3, in step (a) (S100) according to the present invention, the user selects the member authentication section 23 and the membership registration section 25 displayed on the main screen 21 of the charger 20 to authenticate the member or start the membership registration procedure.

[0037] First, on the main screen 21 of the charger 20, a member authentication section 23 composed of members, PnC, and non-members according to the membership type is arranged at the lower part, and a membership registration section 25 composed of a membership registration QR code (registered trademark) and PnC registration is arranged above the member authentication section 23.

[0038] Therefore, if the user is an existing member, a PnC member, or a non-member who does not wish to register as a member, any one of the member authentication sections 23 can be selected to proceed with the charging.

[0039] In addition, if the user is not a member or is an existing member but not a PnC member, any one of the membership registration sections 25 can be selected to register only as a member, register as a PnC member, or complete both member registration and PnC member registration. Here, since PnC membership registration is based on member registration, it is possible to register as a PnC member after registering as a member if the user is already a member or not a member.

[0040] Here, PnC is an abbreviation of "Plug and charge". After joining as a member according to the following membership registration procedures, it refers to a member who is managed through matching and updating of MAC address information and customer information by extracting the unique MAC address of the vehicle. That is, PnC members enjoy the convenience of simplified payment by the payment system 30 through membership registration. Even when they do not hold the membership card issued at the time of membership registration, they can be authenticated as PnC members just by connecting the charger and the charging coupler of the vehicle, which means a membership management service that maximizes customer convenience.

[0041] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, step (b) (S200) according to the present invention is a procedure for checking whether the user is an already registered member or a member who has joined through the membership registration procedure and then checking the presence or absence of PnC membership, and for the PnC membership, connecting the charger 20 and the charging coupler of the vehicle 1 to extract the MAC address of the vehicle 1.

[0042] First, membership registration through the membership registration procedure starts by scanning the "QR code (registered trademark)" of the membership registration section 25 displayed on the main screen 21 of the charger with a dedicated app 50 stored in the customer 40's terminal, that is, a smartphone. In this case, the customer will input the membership registration information provided by the dedicated app 50. At this time, the customer 40 can provide the card information used and receive the registration and issuance of the billing key through the payment system 30. In this way, when the billing key is registered and issued, simplified payment is possible without the customer 40 having to provide a separate card when using the charging system for charging.

[0043] As described above, when the membership registration is completed, the membership registration ends while the customer information is transmitted to the management server 10.

[0044] In this way, the membership registration process can proceed, or customers who are already members can join the PnC membership. When "PnC Join" in the membership registration section 25 is selected for PnC membership registration, a message "Please connect the coupler for PnC join." will be displayed on the main screen 21 of the charger. When the charging couplers of the charger 20 and the vehicle 1 are connected according to this message, the charger 20 will extract the unique MAC address (Mac address) from the vehicle 1. Since the charging cable 3 connected to the charging coupler is configured to enable PLC communication, just by connecting the charging couplers of the charger 20 and the vehicle 1, the MAC address of the vehicle 1 is extracted through the charging cable 3 and transmitted to the charger 20. Also, communication between the charger 20 and the vehicle 1 starts through the charging cable 3 simultaneously with the connection of the charging coupler. It is preferable that the communication ends immediately after the MAC address of the vehicle 1 is extracted so that the customer's personal information cannot be accessed.

[0045] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, in step (c) (S300) according to the present invention, a dynamic QR code (registered trademark) is generated on the main screen 21 of the charger 20 from the extraction of the MAC address of the vehicle 1, and the MAC address of the vehicle 1 and the customer information at the time of membership registration are matched and updated through the recognition of the dynamic QR code (registered trademark) by the terminal of the customer 40.

[0046] That is, when the MAC address is extracted from the vehicle 1 in step (b) (S200) and transmitted to the charger 20, a dynamic QR code (registered trademark) is generated and displayed on the main screen 21 of the charger 20 from the extraction of the MAC address of the vehicle 1. When the customer 40 scans and reads this dynamic QR code (registered trademark) with the dedicated app 50, the management server 10 will match the customer information at the time of membership registration with the extracted MAC address of the vehicle 1 and perform an update.

[0047] In this case, when the update is to connect the charger 20 and the charging coupler of the vehicle 1 in order to use the charging system according to the present invention, the MAC address of the corresponding vehicle 1 is extracted and stored and managed in the database of the management server 10. Therefore, even if not a member, if the charging system according to the present invention is used, it is possible to continuously update, store, and manage the charging history through the MAC address stored in the database.

[0048] As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, 4 to 7, the step (d) (S400) according to the present invention is a procedure in which charging is started depending on whether the user is authenticated as a member in step (a) (S100), or depending on the presence or absence of membership or PnC membership in steps (b) (S200) and (c) (S300).

[0049] In step (d) (S400), when a customer 40 who has joined the membership wishes to charge, it is to authenticate and approve that the user is a joined member and start charging. The member authentication and approval procedures can be divided into the case where the user has only joined the membership and the case where the user has joined both as a member and as a PnC member.

[0050] First, as shown in FIG. 5, when the user has only joined the membership, when the customer 40 selects "member" in the member authentication section 23 displayed on the main screen 21 of the charger, the message "Please tag the membership card." is displayed on the main screen 21 of the charger. By tagging the membership card to the reader of the charger 20, the charger 20 transmits the member number of the membership card to the management server 10. If the management server 10 approves that the user is a joined member, the charger 20 starts charging the vehicle 1.

[0051] In this case, for charging, along with the connection of the charger 20 and the charging coupler of the vehicle 1, the charger 20 extracts the MAC address from the vehicle 1 through the charging cable 3. The extracted MAC address of the vehicle 1 is transmitted to the management server 10, and the management server 10 matches the MAC address of the vehicle 1 with the customer information and performs an update to store and manage the charging history of the corresponding vehicle 1.

[0052] As described above, the membership card is issued through membership registration. When using the charging system according to the present invention, convenient charging can be performed using the issued membership card. However, if a customer is a member but does not possess the membership card, charging is virtually impossible. To eliminate such inconvenience, when joining the PnC membership according to the present invention, authentication, approval, charging, and settlement can be performed through the MAC address of the vehicle 1 extracted only by connecting the charger 20 and the charging coupler of the vehicle 1. Therefore, for a customer 40 who is only a member, it is preferable to eliminate the above-mentioned inconvenience through PnC membership registration.

[0053] Next, as shown in FIG. 6, when a member has joined both the regular membership and the PnC membership, if "PnC" displayed on the main screen 21 of the charger is selected, a message "Please connect the coupler." is displayed on the main screen 21 of the charger. Along with this, when the charging coupler of the charger 20 and the vehicle 1 is connected, not only does charging start simultaneously with the connection of the charging coupler, but the MAC address extracted from the vehicle 1 is transmitted to the management server 10 through the charger 20.

[0054] In this case, the management server 10 confirms whether the transmitted MAC address belongs to a PnC member. If it is a PnC member, the membership authentication is approved and charging continues.

[0055] However, if the customer is a non-PnC member, when the management server 10 rejects the approval as a non-PnC member response to the charger 20, the charger 20 will end the charging. That is, if, during the authentication procedure, the customer connects to the "PnC" after joining the membership and joining as a PnC member but is not a PnC member, the management server 10 transmits a response rejecting the authentication and approval to the charger 20, and the charger 20 will end the charging. In this case, if the customer 40 only wants to maintain the membership status, as described above, the customer can select "member" in the membership authentication unit 23 and follow the charging procedure. If the customer wishes to join the PnC membership, the customer can select "PnC join" in the membership registration unit 25 to join the PnC membership.

[0056] Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 7, when a customer 40 who uses the charging system according to the present invention attempts to perform charging in a non-member state without joining the membership, the customer can select "non-member" in the membership authentication unit 23 to enable charging. In the case of non-member charging, when "non-member" is selected in the membership authentication unit 23, a message "After setting the charging amount or amount, start charging" is displayed on the main screen 21 of the charger 20. Accordingly, after setting the charging amount or amount on the main screen 21 of the charger, the charging coupler of the charger 20 and the vehicle 1 are connected to start charging. When the charging is completed, a credit card is inserted into the card reader provided in the charger 20 for post-payment settlement, and the charging ends.

[0057] In this case, it is necessary to check whether the customer 40 is a non-member or there is any outstanding payment. In the charging system according to the present invention, when the charger 20 is connected to the charging coupler of the vehicle 1, charging starts simultaneously, and the extracted MAC address of the vehicle 1 is transmitted to the management server 10 through the charger 20. At this time, the management server 10 stores the extracted MAC address in the database for storage and management. That is, when using the charging system according to the present invention, by storing and managing the MAC address extracted from the corresponding vehicle 1, the charging history of the corresponding vehicle 1 is stored. Therefore, even if the customer is a non-member, if the charging system according to the present invention is used even once, the charging history of the vehicle 1 can be checked. In this case, if the corresponding vehicle 1 has not been settled in the past or only a part has been settled, that is, if there is any outstanding payment, measures can be taken. When outstanding payment occurs, since the charging system according to the present invention uses a post-payment settlement method even for non-members, there may be cases where, after charging is completed, the customer 40 is careless or deliberately does not settle, uses a card whose use has been stopped, or the settlement fails due to other reasons. In such a case, as described above, it is possible to check the existence of outstanding payment for the non-member vehicle 1 by updating and storing information on the outstanding payment in the stored and managed MAC address.

[0058] Thus, when charging starts for a non-member but there is outstanding payment, charging is terminated. When the customer 40 inserts the settlement card into the card reader for settlement of the outstanding payment, charging will continue and then end. In this case, when the charger 20 transmits the settlement information to the management server 10, the management server will update and store the information on the outstanding payment in the MAC address of the corresponding vehicle 1.

[0059] Also, whether the customer is a non-member or a member and there is outstanding payment, it is also preferable to enable charging to continue immediately after settling the outstanding payment through a dedicated app installed on the customer's smartphone.

[0060] As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 5, the (e) step (S500) according to the present invention is a procedure of transmitting settlement information to the terminal of customer 40 after charging in the (d) step (S400) and ending the charging through settlement approval.

[0061] When the charging is completed by a normal procedure in the (e) step (S500), the charger 20 will transmit the charging completion and the settlement request amount to the management server 10, and the management server 10 will transmit the settlement information, that is, the settlement amount, to the smartphone of customer 40. Thereafter, after customer 40 confirms the transmitted settlement information and approves the settlement, a convenient settlement is performed through the settlement system 30. Thereby, the charging procedure ends.

[0062] Thus, in the charging system according to the present invention, regardless of the type of member, the presence or absence of membership, and the presence or absence of PnC membership, when settling the charging amount with a credit card, there is a difference from the settlement method of the existing charging system in that post-payment settlement is possible after the charging is completed. That is, since it was practically impossible to perform post-payment settlement because the credit card number could not be saved for credit card post-payment according to the credit law, in the case of the charging system according to the present invention, after the charging is completed without saving the credit card number and after confirming the settlement amount, the credit card is directly tagged on the card reader provided in the charger to perform the settlement, whereby post-payment settlement can be realized. Therefore, the charging system according to the present invention is convenient because it can more realistically ensure the convenience of use for customers.

[0063] As described above, the charging system according to the present invention can be charged immediately by connecting the charger and the charging cable of the vehicle at the same time without going through a prior procedure for settlement, and by transmitting the settlement information to the customer immediately after the charging is completed so that it can be confirmed, it is possible to provide an improved service to the customer.

[0064] Thus, although the present invention has been described with reference to one embodiment illustrated in the drawings, this is merely exemplary, and those with ordinary knowledge in the art will understand that various modifications and equivalent other embodiments will be possible hereafter.

[0065] Therefore, the true technical protection scope of the present invention should be determined by the technical idea of the appended claims.
