Abstract

Claims (46)

1 . A battery conditioning system comprising:

a big data server configured to collect and store vehicle charging tendency factor data;

at least one processor in communication with the big data server and configured to,

select the charging tendency factor with a high charging performance probability as a charge-inducing factor;

generate at least one charging scenario with the high charging performance probability through a combination of the charge-inducing factors;

calculate scenario reliability based on an actual charging probability for each of the charging scenario;

perform pre-conditioning when one or more conditions of one or more of the at least one charging scenario are satisfied;

wherein the at least one processor is further configured to calculate a scenario reliability value based on an actual number of charging performances after pre-conditioning divided by a number of preconditioning performances according to satisfaction of the one or more conditions of the charging scenario of the at least one charging scenario.

2 . The battery conditioning system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to:

calculate an actual charging performance probability value for each of the charging tendency factor; and

select the charging tendency factor having a probability value equal to or greater than a set value as the charge-inducing factor.

3 . The battery conditioning system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to:

calculate a condition with the high charging performance probability for each of the charge-inducing factor as a charge-inducing condition; and

configure a scenario including the charge-inducing condition.

4 . The battery conditioning system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to:

update each charging scenario, of the at least one charging scenario, until the scenario reliability value approaches 1 or repeats charging scenario generation for a new charging scenario; and

determine, for each charging scenario of the at least one charging scenario, the charge-inducing factor of the charging scenario when the reliability value approaches 1.

5 . The battery conditioning system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to calculate a scenario coverage value corresponding to a number of pre-conditioning performances, according to satisfaction of the one or more conditions of the charging scenario of the at least one charging scenario, divided by a total number of charges.

6 . The battery conditioning system of claim 5 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

update the charging scenario until the scenario coverage value approaches 1 or repeats charging scenario generation for a new charging scenario; and

fix the charging scenario to maintain a corresponding charging scenario when the scenario coverage value approaches 1.

7 . The battery conditioning system of claim 1 , wherein:

the charging scenario generated by the at least one processor is identified by a driver through a display device, and

a specific charging scenario is deactivated, modified, or added by the driver's will.

8 . The battery conditioning system of claim 1 , wherein:

the big data server is further configured to share a charging scenario generated from each of one or more vehicles with another vehicle, and

the other vehicle is configured to use the charging scenario shared with the other vehicle to enable pre-conditioning.

9 . A method for battery conditioning, comprising:

collecting and storing vehicle charging tendency factor data, using a big data server;

selecting, by at least processor, the charging tendency factor with a high charging performance probability as a charge-inducing factor;

generating, by the at least one processor, at least one charging scenario with the high charging performance probability through a combination of the charge-inducing factors;

determining, by the at least one processor, the at least one charging scenario by calculating scenario reliability based on an actual charging probability for each of the charging scenario; and

performing, by the at least one processor, pre-conditioning when one or more conditions of one or more of the at least one charging scenario are satisfied; and

wherein the determining of the at least one charging scenario comprises calculating a scenario reliability value according to an actual number of charging performances after pre-conditioning divided by a number of pre-conditioning performances according to satisfaction of the one or more conditions.

10 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the determining the at least one charging scenario comprises:

calculating a condition with a high charging performance probability for each of the charge-inducing factor as a charge-inducing condition; and

determining the at least one charging scenario by calculating the scenario reliability comprising the charge-inducing condition.

11 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the determining the at least one charging scenario further comprises:

updating a charging scenario, of the at least one charging scenario, until the scenario reliability value approaches 1 or repeats charging scenario generation for a new charging scenario; and

determining the charge-inducing factor of the charging scenario when the reliability value approaches 1.

12 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the determining the at least one charging scenario comprises:

calculating a scenario coverage value corresponding to a number of pre-conditioning performances, according to satisfaction of the one or more conditions, divided by a total number of charges;

updating the charging scenario until the scenario coverage value approaches 1 or repeats charging scenario generation for a new charging scenario; and

maintaining the corresponding scenario when the coverage value approaches 1.

13 . The method of claim 9 , further comprising performing charging scenario sharing, comprising sharing, using the big data server, a charging scenario generated from each of one or more vehicles with another vehicle,

wherein the other vehicle is configured to use the charging scenario shared with the other vehicle to enable pre-conditioning.
