Methods and systems for monitoring a charging pattern to identify a customer

1. A system for charging a shared electric vehicle, comprising:

a memory that stores instructions for executing processes for charging the shared electric vehicle based on a charging pattern for one user of a plurality of users of the shared electric vehicle; and

a processor configured to execute the instructions, wherein the instructions cause the processor to:

monitor charging patterns of each user of the plurality of users of the shared electric vehicle to determine a preferred charging mode for each user;

generate a user profile for each user of the plurality of users, the user profile indicating preferences for each respective user, wherein the user profile for a respective user from among the plurality of users indicates a first preferred charging mode for a first location and a second preferred charging mode for a second location, wherein the first and the second charging modes are different;

identify a user operating the shared electric vehicle;

transmit, to a third party vendor, a request for a resource based on a charging mode for the user selected based on the user profile of the user operating the shared electric vehicle and a current charging location; and

after receiving a response to the request for the resource, transmit a charging schedule to the shared electric vehicle to charge the shared electric vehicle according to the preferred charging mode.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein, for a user from among the plurality of users, the charging patterns indicate a ubiquitous preferred charging mode for each charging location associated with the user.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to identify a first user from among the plurality of users when a driving schedule indicates that the first user is scheduled to operate the vehicle during a first period of time and to identify a second user from among the plurality of users when the driving schedule indicates that the second user is scheduled to operate the vehicle during a second period of time.

4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the processor is configured to store a charging pattern for a given charging location based on the identified driver as indicated by the driving schedule.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to store a charging station location when a user connects the vehicle to a new charging station and to store a charging preferences for the new charging station.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the charging mode indicates a condition for initiating the charging, one or more charging speeds, and a condition for stopping the charging based on one or more of cost of electric energy, source of electric energy, and predetermined charge level.

7. A method of charging a shared electric vehicle based on a charging pattern for one user of a plurality of users of the shared electric vehicle, comprising:

monitoring charging patterns of each user of the plurality of users of the shared vehicle to determine a preferred charging mode for each user;

generating a user profile for each user of the plurality of users, the user profile indicating preferences for each respective user, wherein the user profile for a respective user from among the plurality of users indicates a first preferred charging mode for a first location and a second preferred charging mode for a second location, wherein the first and the second charging modes are different;

identifying a user operating the shared electric vehicle;

transmitting, to a third party vendor, a request for a resource based on a charging mode for the user selected based on the user profile of the user operating the shared electric vehicle and a current charging location; and

after receiving a response to the request for the resource, transmitting a charging schedule to the shared electric vehicle to charge the shared electric vehicle according to the preferred charging mode.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein, for a user from among the plurality of users, the charging patterns indicate a ubiquitous preferred charging mode for each charging location associated with the user.

9. The method of claim 7 , wherein identifying the user operating the vehicle based on the user profiles comprises identifying a first user from among the plurality of users when a driving schedule indicates that the first user is scheduled to operate the vehicle during a first period of time and identifying a second user from among the plurality of users when the driving schedule indicates that the second user is scheduled to operate the vehicle during a second period of time.

10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising storing a charging pattern for a given charging location based on the identified driver as indicated by the driving schedule.

11. The method of claim 7 , further comprising storing a charging station location when a user connects the vehicle to a new charging station and to store a charging preferences for the new charging station.

12. The method of claim 7 , wherein the charging mode indicates a condition for initiating the charging, one or more charging speeds, and a condition for stopping the charging based on one or more of cost of electric energy, source of electric energy, and predetermined charge level.

13. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium containing executable computer program code, the code comprising instructions configured to cause a processor to:

monitor charging patterns of each user of a plurality of users of a shared electric vehicle to determine a preferred charging mode for each user;

generate a user profile for each user of the plurality of users, the user profile indicating preferences for each respective user, wherein the user profile for a respective user from among the plurality of users indicates a first preferred charging mode for a first location and a second preferred charging mode for a second location, wherein the first and the second charging modes are different;

identify a user operating the shared electric vehicle;

transmit, to a third party vendor, a request for a resource based on a charging mode for the user selected based on the user profile of the user operating the shared electric vehicle and a current charging location; and

after receiving a response to the request for the resource, transmit a charging schedule to the shared electric vehicle to charge the shared electric vehicle according to the preferred charging mode.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein, for a user from among the plurality of users, the charging patterns indicate a ubiquitous preferred charging mode for each charging location associated with the user.

15. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the processor is configured to identify a first user from among the plurality of users when a driving schedule indicates that the first user is scheduled to operate the vehicle during a first period of time and to identify a second user from among the plurality of users when the driving schedule indicates that the second user is scheduled to operate the vehicle during a second period of time.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the processor is configured to store a charging pattern for a given charging location based on the identified driver as indicated by the driving schedule.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the charging mode indicates a condition for initiating the charging, one or more charging speeds, and a condition for stopping the charging based on one or more of cost of electric energy, source of electric energy, and predetermined charge level.
