Solution Overview

Problem

The manual input of connection data for multiple charging equipment installations is time-consuming, and existing methods may inaccurately represent the location of charging equipment, leading to increased server loading and potential errors.

Innovation Solution

A system utilizing a mobile device with a two-dimensional bar code pattern to automatically acquire unique identification codes from charging equipment, transmit installation data via short-distance wireless communication, and update accurate GPS location data, reducing manual input and server loading.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If manual input of connection data is used for each charging equipment, then the equipment can be installed and connected to the server, but the installation process becomes time-consuming and labor-intensive

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveinstallation speedVSAvoidtime for manual data entry

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The charging equipment performs automatic self-registration with the server by autonomously transmitting its own identification information and location data, eliminating the need for manual data entry operators and significantly improving installation efficiency

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the manual mechanical input process with automated electronic data transmission, where the equipment automatically sends its identification and location information to the server through wireless communication, substituting human operators with automated systems

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Measurement precision

If GPS location data is obtained through server conversion of geographical address, then the equipment can be registered, but the location accuracy may not exactly represent the actual charging equipment location

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvelocation accuracyVSAvoidlocation information accuracy

Core Design Contradiction:

Measurement precisionVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The charging equipment autonomously obtains and transmits its own precise GPS location data directly to the server, eliminating the need for server-side geographical address conversion and ensuring the location information accurately represents the actual equipment position

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

3Productivity

If installation data is transmitted from the equipment management server to multiple charging equipments, then all equipment can be configured, but the server experiences increased data transmission loading

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvemass data installation capabilityVSAvoidserver transmission loading

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of the server actively pushing installation data to multiple charging equipments (increasing server load), the charging equipments actively pull or autonomously register their own configuration data from the server, inverting the data transmission direction and significantly reducing server transmission loading

Inventive Principle:

Principle #13The other way round (Inversion)
