Mobile EV Charging Control for Parking Lot and Privilege Selection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current charging service techniques for electric vehicles lack efficiency and convenience, particularly in providing on-demand charging solutions that optimize the use of parking lots and facilities.
Innovation Solution
A control device system that acquires user preferences, selects suitable facilities, and notifies users of available parking lots and privileges, allowing a power supply vehicle to move to the vehicle for charging, thereby enhancing the convenience and utilization of facilities.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a power supply vehicle moves to charge an electrified vehicle, then charging service is provided, but parking lot utilization and facility usage remain suboptimal
Solution Approach 1:
The control device acquires usage date and time information in advance, selects appropriate parking lots and facilities before the charging service is needed, and notifies the user of the selected locations. This preliminary planning ensures both charging convenience and optimal facility utilization without last-minute decisions
Solution Approach 2:
The system establishes a feedback loop where the control device receives usage information, processes it through facility availability checks, selects optimal parking lots, and notifies users. This closed-loop system continuously optimizes facility usage based on actual charging demands and facility status
2Adaptability or versatility
If parking lots are used for charging services, then charging capability is provided, but user awareness of available privileges and facilities is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The control device acts as an intermediary between the facility management system and the user. It acquires privilege information from facilities, processes it alongside charging requirements, and communicates both parking lot locations and associated privileges to users through their terminal devices, ensuring complete information delivery
3Adaptability or versatility
If manual selection of parking lots is used, then flexibility is maintained, but service efficiency and user convenience are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system replaces manual parking lot selection with an automated control device that uses algorithms to select optimal parking lots based on multiple criteria including facility availability, user preferences, and charging demands. This automated selection process maintains flexibility through programmable criteria while dramatically reducing the time required for decision-making

AI summary
The method is a method executed by a control device used for providing a charging service in which a power supply vehicle used for charging a vehicle moves to the source of the vehicle and charges the vehicle, and includes: acquiring usage date and time information indicating a date and time a user wants to use the charging service; acquiring parking lot information indicating a parking lot attached to a facility that can be used for the charging service; acquiring privilege information indicating a privilege available at the facility when the charging service is used in a parking lot; and notifying the user of the parking lot information and the privilege information.
