Solution Overview

Problem

In the context of electric vehicle charging, existing systems lack effective management and monitoring of roaming charging station operators, leading to potential service quality issues and user complaints due to unstable charging services across different operators.

Innovation Solution

A monitoring and management system that receives state data from electric vehicle charging stations, calculates a service quality index, and provides a user interface to display this index, allowing for suspension of roaming charging operations if quality standards are not met, along with mechanisms for handling disputes and contract fulfillment checks.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If multiple charging station operators provide roaming charging services, then user convenience and service coverage are improved, but service quality stability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice coverageVSAvoidservice quality stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the charging roaming management platform continuously monitors charging station state data (availability, operational status, charging speed) and calculates service quality indexes. This feedback loop enables dynamic evaluation and management of multiple operators' service quality, allowing the system to identify and address quality issues while maintaining broad service coverage through roaming partnerships.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If service quality monitoring is implemented across multiple operators, then service quality stability is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice quality stabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The charging roaming management platform serves as an intermediary between multiple charging station operators and users. It centralizes the complex tasks of data collection, state monitoring, service quality index calculation, and dispute management, thereby standardizing quality control across different operators without requiring each operator to implement complex monitoring systems independently.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Reliability

If roaming charging operations are suspended at underperforming stations, then service quality stability is improved, but user convenience deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice quality stabilityVSAvoiduser convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic management of roaming charging operations by continuously evaluating service quality indexes and adjusting operational status accordingly. Charging stations that fail to meet quality standards have their roaming operations suspended, while those that maintain or improve quality can resume or expand operations. This dynamic approach ensures service quality stability while minimizing impact on user convenience through automated, objective decision-making.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

Monitoring and management methods and systems for roaming charging station operator for use in a server are provided. First, state data of at least one electric vehicle charging station corresponding to a charging station operator is received via a network. A service quality index of the charging station operator or the electric vehicle charging station is calculated according to the state data corresponding to the at least one electric vehicle charging station. Then, a user interface is provided to display the service quality index.
