EV Charging Information Management System for Time Utilization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Electric vehicle users face challenges such as unavailable charging stands, longer-than-expected charging times, and ineffective utilization of waiting time, as existing charging systems primarily focus on advertisement rather than optimizing user experience during charging.
Innovation Solution
An information management system that collects and associates vehicle location, battery residual capacity, and user preferences to recommend suitable charging stands and routes, allowing users to effectively utilize their time during charging.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If advertisement information is presented to users during charging, then information presentation effects are achieved, but users cannot effectively utilize the waiting time for charging
Solution Approach 1:
The information management system serves multiple functions simultaneously: it not only presents advertisement information to users during charging but also recommends stores based on user preferences and provides route guidance. This multi-functionality allows the system to convert passive waiting time into an opportunity for active store discovery and planning, thereby improving time utilization while maintaining information presentation effects
2Reliability
If charging stands are increased to meet user demand, then charging availability is improved, but system complexity and operational management become more difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The system collects and analyzes user charging behavior data, location information, and preference data to generate feedback on charging stand utilization patterns. This feedback enables operators to make data-driven decisions about where to deploy charging stands, optimizing availability without盲目 expansion, thereby managing system complexity through intelligent monitoring and analysis
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary analysis of user charging needs, destination information, and store preferences before users actually need charging services. By pre-processing this information and generating store recommendations in advance, the system reduces the complexity of real-time decision-making and operational management when charging events occur
Data Source
AI summary
An information management system collects and manages information on a charging stand that allows a user to effectively utilize the time during charging. The information management system acquires, from a probe information management device that stores location information of a vehicle and battery residual capacity information of a battery provided in the vehicle, the location information of the vehicle and the battery residual capacity of the vehicle; and acquires, from a user operation terminal operated by a user who gets on the vehicle, destination information indicating a location of a destination of the vehicle input by the user and information on what the user wants to do during charging of the vehicle. A storage unit stores the location information of the vehicle and the battery residual capacity information in association with the destination information of the vehicle and the information on what the user wants to do during the charging.
