Electric Vehicle Management System for Battery State Monitoring
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Drivers of electric vehicles face challenges in continuously monitoring their vehicle's state, particularly battery health, and locating charging stations or service centers, making it difficult to take appropriate actions when issues arise.
Innovation Solution
An electric vehicle management system that includes a communication unit for receiving and transmitting vehicle state information, a database for determining the need for a management message, and a unit for creating messages guiding recharge, inspection, or repair, which also matches power-supplying and power-receiving vehicles based on current positions and states.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If the driver continuously monitors the vehicle state manually, then the driver can detect battery state and vehicle information, but it is difficult for the driver to find charging stations or service centers and take proper actions when problems occur
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a server as an intermediary between the electric vehicle and the driver. The server receives vehicle state information from the vehicle, processes it, and provides comprehensive services including charging station location, service center information, and maintenance recommendations. This intermediary handles the complex information processing and search tasks, making it easy for the driver to obtain needed information without manual monitoring efforts.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service by automatically monitoring vehicle state information through the communication unit and database. The server autonomously detects battery state, vehicle health status, and other parameters, then proactively provides guidance messages to the driver about charging needs, maintenance requirements, and nearby service locations without requiring continuous driver intervention.
2Reliability
If the system provides comprehensive vehicle management messages including charging guidance and service center information, then driving smoothness is guaranteed, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the vehicle management system into distinct functional modules: a communication unit for data transmission, a database for information storage, and a server for processing and service provision. Each module has a specific function, making the overall complex system manageable through modular design. The communication unit handles data exchange, the database manages information storage and retrieval, and the server provides processing logic, allowing independent development and maintenance of each component.
3Productivity
If the system matches power-supplying and power-receiving vehicles based on position and state, then power sharing efficiency is improved, but the information processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the server continuously receives vehicle state information, processes it through the database, and provides matching results to both power-supplying and power-receiving vehicles. The system monitors vehicle positions, battery states, and power availability, then dynamically matches vehicles that can share power. This feedback loop ensures efficient power sharing by constantly updating matching based on current vehicle conditions and locations.

AI summary
Disclosed are a system and method for managing an electric vehicle. The system includes: a vehicle state information collecting device collecting vehicle state information from one or more sensors; a terminal device receiving the vehicle state information from the vehicle state information collecting device and transmits the received information together with current position information and a vehicle ID for identifying the electric vehicle; and an electric vehicle managing device receiving and storing the vehicle state information for the vehicle ID, comparing the vehicle state information with a preset reference value of the information to determine whether to create a vehicle management message, and creating the vehicle management message that includes the place related to the vehicle state information or the position information of another electric vehicle on the basis of the current position information for the electric vehicle so as to transmit the message to the terminal device.
