EV Charging Privilege Signaling for Amusement Park Power Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electrified vehicle charging systems do not effectively promote power control such as charging in power supply equipment provided in entertainment facilities, such as amusement parks.
Innovation Solution
An electrified vehicle management device and system that includes a communication unit and a control unit to transmit a permission signal to users when predetermined conditions regarding power control in a power station within an entertainment facility are met, allowing users to receive privileges within the facility.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If a charging processing system issues coupons usable at stores near power supply equipment, then power supply promotion at stores is improved, but power control promotion in entertainment facilities remains insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The management device applies universal incentive mechanisms across different facility types (stores and entertainment facilities). The permission signal system serves multiple functions: it can grant store coupons, entertainment facility access privileges, or other benefits depending on the facility type, making the power control promotion system adaptable to diverse environments while maintaining consistent operational effectiveness
2Productivity
If permission signals are transmitted to users for power control in entertainment facilities, then user participation in power control is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The management device automatically transmits permission signals to users without requiring manual intervention. The system self-manages the entire process: detecting power control actions, determining privilege eligibility, generating permission signals, and transmitting them to users' terminals. This automation reduces operational complexity while maintaining high user participation by providing seamless, incentive-driven power control promotion

AI summary
The server (electrified vehicle management device) includes a communication unit (second communication unit) that communicates with a mobile terminal (first communication unit) of a user of the electrified vehicle. The server includes a processor (control unit) that controls the communication unit. Then, the processor controls the communication unit so that a permission signal permitted to receive a privilege in the amusement park is transmitted to the mobile terminal of the user when a predetermined condition is satisfied with respect to power control in a EVSE (power station) provided in the amusement park (entertainment facility).
