Abstract

A battery charging service system for an electrification vehicle and a method thereof are provided. The battery charging service system includes a mobile charger including at least one energy storage system (ESS), a working device that provides a battery charging service using the mobile charger, and a service device connected with the working device over a network. The service device collects a position and a remaining battery capacity of a user's vehicle, classifies a target vehicle which needs battery charging in a service area based on the position and the remaining battery capacity of the user's vehicle, and transmits a work instruction to the working device taking charge of the service area.

Claims (45)

1 . A battery charging service system for an electrification vehicle, the battery charging service system comprising:

a mobile charger including at least one energy storage system (ESS);

a working device configured to provide a battery charging service using the mobile charger; and

a service device connected with the working device through a network,

wherein the service device is configured to collect information of a position and a remaining battery capacity of a user's vehicle, to classify a target vehicle which needs charging of a battery in a service area based on the collected information of the position and the remaining battery capacity of the user's vehicle, and to transmit a work instruction to the working device taking charge of the service area, and

wherein the working device first charges the target vehicle, irrespective of whether the target vehicle is located in the service area, when a remaining battery capacity of the target vehicle is less than a first reference value.

2 . The battery charging service system of claim 1 , wherein the service device is further configured to divide the service area based on the position and the remaining battery capacity of the user's vehicle.

3 . The battery charging service system of claim 1 , wherein the service device transmits a work list including a position, the remaining battery capacity, a charging target value, and a working time of the target vehicle, when transmitting the work instruction.

4 . The battery charging service system of claim 1 , wherein the working device is further configured to record a work result, when there is no remaining work after the working device completes the charging of the battery of the target vehicle, and

wherein the working device is further configured to transmit the work result to the service device.

5 . The battery charging service system of claim 1 , wherein the working device is further configured to move to a specified power hub depending on the work instruction and to load at least one mobile charger, and

wherein the working device is further configured to differently charge the battery of the target vehicle based on the remaining battery capacity of the target vehicle.

6 . The battery charging service system of claim 5 , wherein the working device moves to a position of the target vehicle and charges the battery of the target vehicle when the target vehicle is located in the service area, when the remaining battery capacity of the target vehicle is greater than or equal to the first reference value and is less than a second reference value, and

the working device does not charge the battery of the target vehicle when the target vehicle is not located in the service area.

7 . The battery charging service system of claim 6 , wherein the working device moves to the position of the target vehicle and charges the battery of the target vehicle when a charging infrastructure is available, when the remaining battery capacity of the target vehicle is greater than or equal to the second reference value and is less than a third reference value, and

the working device does not charge the battery of the target vehicle when the charging infrastructure is not available.

8 . The battery charging service system of claim 7 , wherein the working device does not charge the battery of the target vehicle, when the remaining battery capacity of the target vehicle is greater than or equal to the third reference value.

9 . The battery charging service system of claim 1 , wherein the service device is further configured to collect big data about user characteristics including at least one of a driving habit, a driving pattern, a battery usage cycle, a parking position, a parking pattern, or a frequency of battery charging of the user and to periodically provide the battery charging service using the collected big data.

10 . A battery charging service method for an electrification vehicle, the battery charging service method comprising:

collecting, by a service device, information of a position and a remaining battery capacity of a user's vehicle;

classifying, by the service device, a target vehicle which needs charging of a battery in a service area based on the position and the remaining battery capacity of the user's vehicle;

transmitting, by the service device, a work instruction to a working device taking charge of the service area;

providing, by the working device, a battery charging service to the target vehicle depending on the work instruction; and

first charging, by the working device, the target vehicle, irrespective of whether the target vehicle is located in the service area, when a remaining battery capacity of the target vehicle is less than a first reference value.

11 . The battery charging service method of claim 10 , wherein the classifying of the target vehicle includes:

dividing the service area based on the position and the remaining battery capacity of the user's vehicle.

12 . The battery charging service method of claim 10 , wherein the transmitting of the work instruction includes:

transmitting a work list including a position, the remaining battery capacity, a charging target value, and a working time of the target vehicle.

13 . The battery charging service method of claim 10 , wherein the providing of the battery charging service includes:

recording, by the working device, a work result, when there is no remaining work after completing the charging of the battery of the target vehicle; and

transmitting, by the working device, the work result to the service device.

14 . The battery charging service method of claim 10 , wherein the providing of the battery charging service includes:

moving, by the working device, to a specified power hub depending on the work instruction and loading, by the working device, at least one mobile charger; and

differently charging, by the working device, the battery of the target vehicle based on the remaining battery capacity of the target vehicle.

15 . The battery charging service method of claim 14 , wherein the charging of the battery of the target vehicle further includes:

moving to a position of the target vehicle and charging the battery of the target vehicle when the target vehicle is located in the service area, when the remaining battery capacity of the target vehicle is greater than or equal to the first reference value and is less than a second reference value; and

not charging the battery of the target vehicle, when the target vehicle is not located in the service area.

16 . The battery charging service method of claim 15 , wherein the charging of the battery of the target vehicle further includes:

moving to the position of the target vehicle and charging the battery of the target vehicle when a charging infrastructure is available, when the remaining battery capacity of the target vehicle is greater than or equal to the second reference value and is less than a third reference value; and

not charging the battery of the target vehicle, when the charging infrastructure is not available.

17 . The battery charging service method of claim 16 , wherein the charging of the battery of the target vehicle further includes:

not charging the battery of the target vehicle, when the remaining battery capacity of the target vehicle is greater than or equal to the third reference value.

18 . The battery charging service method of claim 10 , further comprising:

collecting big data about user characteristics including at least one of a driving habit, a driving pattern, a battery usage cycle, a parking position, a parking pattern, or a frequency of battery charging of the user; and

periodically providing the battery charging service using the collected big data.
