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 (13)

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) receiving information regarding a point of departure and a destination from the user terminal;

(b) calculating an estimated moving path on the basis of the information regarding the point of departure and the destination, and calculating an estimated fuel consumption rate of a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle related to the user terminal in the estimated moving path;

(c) determining, on the basis of the estimated fuel consumption rate, an estimated location of the hydrogen fuel cell vehicle at the charging time when the amount of fuel is expected to decrease to a predetermined reference amount or less, and determining a number of times of charging, a charging time, and a charging location which is within a specific range from the estimated location; and

(d) setting a moving path of the user terminal on the basis of the charging location and the information regarding the point of departure and the destination.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein (c) comprises determining a charging-performing vehicle terminal among a plurality of charging-vehicle terminals on the basis of a distance to the charging location, a charging performing plan of a charging vehicle, and a location movement plan of the charging vehicle,

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

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising providing a charging-performing vehicle terminal with information regarding the user terminal, the charging time, and the charging location.

4. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium, configured to store one or more programs that, when executed by a computer or server, cause the computer or server to perform a method of providing a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle charging service, the method comprising:

(a) receiving information regarding a point of departure and a destination from the user terminal;

(b) calculating an estimated moving path on the basis of the information regarding the point of departure and the destination, and calculating an estimated fuel consumption rate of a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle related to the user terminal in the estimated moving path;

(c) determining, on the basis of the estimated fuel consumption rate, an estimated location of the hydrogen fuel cell vehicle at the charging time when the amount of fuel is expected to decrease to a predetermined reference amount or less, and determining a number of times of charging, a charging time, and a charging location which is within a specific range from the estimated location; and

(d) setting a moving path of the user terminal on the basis of the charging location and the information regarding the point of departure and the destination.
