Abstract

Provided is a method of providing a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle charging service, performed by a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle charging service providing server connected to a user terminal and a plurality of charging-vehicle terminals, the method including (a) analyzing a fuel usage pattern of a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle related to the user terminal and predicting a fuel charging time of the hydrogen fuel cell vehicle on the basis of the fuel usage pattern; (b) determining a charging location and a charging-performing vehicle terminal at the fuel charging time on the basis of location information of the user terminal, and providing the user terminal with a charging alarm including information regarding the charging location and the charging-performing vehicle terminal; and (c) providing the charging-performing vehicle terminal with the information regarding the user terminal and the charging location when a charging request is received from the user terminal in response to the charging alarm.

Claims (12)

1. A method of providing a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle charging service, performed by a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle charging service providing server connected to a user terminal and a plurality of charging-vehicle terminals, the method comprising:

(a) analyzing a fuel usage pattern of a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle related to the user terminal, predicting a fuel charging time of the hydrogen fuel cell vehicle on the basis of the fuel usage pattern,

determining a fuel usage pattern on the basis of data regarding a daily moving distance and a daily fuel usage of the hydrogen fuel cell vehicle; and

determining a date when the amount of fuel of the hydrogen fuel cell vehicle is expected to decrease to a predetermined reference amount or less on the basis of the fuel usage pattern,

wherein the fuel usage pattern is periodically updated;

(b) when the fuel charging time is reached, determining a charging location and a charging-performing vehicle terminal on the basis of location information of the user terminal, and providing the user terminal with a charging alarm including information regarding the charging location and the charging-performing vehicle terminal; and

(c) providing the charging-performing vehicle terminal with the information regarding the user terminal and the charging location when a charging request is received from the user terminal in response to the charging alarm.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein (b) comprises determining a charging location nearest to the user terminal or a charging location where the user terminal uses most frequently among at least one charging location which is within a specific range from a location of the user terminal.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein (b) comprises determining the charging-performing vehicle terminal nearest to the charging location and having no charging performing plan among the plurality of charging-vehicle terminals on the basis of the charging location,

wherein charging vehicles related to the plurality of charging-vehicle terminals move according to predetermined location movement plans of the respective charging vehicles.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein (b) comprises providing the user terminal with information regarding at least one charging location which is within a specific range from a location of the user terminal, receiving a user's selection as to a specific charging location from the user terminal, and determining the charging location.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein (c) comprises providing the user terminal with an estimated moving time to the charging location and real-time location information of a charging-performing vehicle, and providing the charging-performing vehicle terminal with real-time location information of the user terminal.
