2 is a flow chart illustrating a method of the present invention.
3 to 6 are flowcharts showing one specific embodiment of the present invention.

The charging system of the present invention is characterized in that a charger is installed at a place accessible by a resident vehicle, such as a parking lot of a public house, so that a resident or a visitor of the public house can use it.

In addition, when charging, the residents do not immediately pay the charge for charging, but can be settled by adding up the electricity bills of the residents, so that the residents can be convenient.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a charging system of the present invention.

The charging system of the present invention is largely divided into a part that is responsible for charging an electric vehicle, and a part for residents confirmation and payment processing.

According to the embodiment, the above two parts may be provided in one place, and the part in charge of charging is installed in a place where an electric vehicle can enter and exit, such as a parking lot of a apartment house, and a part for residents confirmation and payment processing. May be installed in a separate place, such as a management office for public housing.

1 is a charging means 100, which is responsible for charging an electric vehicle, and information processing means 200, which is a part for resident identification and payment processing, are installed in separate places, and transmit data to each other by wired or wireless communication. An example is shown.

The charging means 100 includes a charging unit 110, an information input and output unit 120 and the payment means information acquisition unit 130, the information processing means 200 is a resident information confirmation unit 140 and payment processing unit ( 150).

First, the function of each component of the charging means 100 installed in a place where an electric vehicle, such as a parking lot of a public house, can be charged to charge a rechargeable battery is as follows.

The charging unit 110 supplies power to the rechargeable battery of the electric vehicle so that the rechargeable battery is charged.

Since the function of charging the rechargeable battery of the electric vehicle in the charging unit 110 is the same as the charging portion in a general electric vehicle charging station, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

That is, the charging unit 110 is provided with a plug or an outlet that can be connected to the electric vehicle is connected to the electric vehicle to supply power to the rechargeable battery of the electric vehicle, when the power supply to the electric vehicle has a power meter for measuring the amount of power supplied You can calculate how much this is.

At this time, the charging unit 110 is preferably to be provided with a rapid charging function capable of rapid charging.

The information input / output unit 120 provides a user interface to receive various types of information necessary for charging, such as selecting a capacity to charge and a password input from a user who wants to charge, and also converts the amount of power supplied to the user or the amount of payment into a payment. Provides information such as price information.

The payment means information acquisition unit 130 obtains payment means information from the user.

Here, the payment means information means information on the means for payment according to the charge.

Representative examples of payment means information may be credit card information. As a method of acquiring credit card information, a method of reading information stored in a magnetic line included in a credit card or the like as a general card terminal, or receiving information through an RF communication method from an IC chip provided in the credit card may be used.

In addition, it is also possible to obtain information such as debit cards, prepaid cards, transportation cards, such as cash cards.

In the present invention, the payment means information does not include only the information included when the means possessed by the user, such as residents, such as a credit card, such as a credit card, but the charging fee is added to the apartment management fee, etc. It also includes information obtained from the means used when a user performs a payment in a manner used in the present invention, such as a means used by a user, such as a tenant, to authenticate his / her identity for making a payment.

Representative means used by the user for this method may be a resident-only card that is granted only to the residents of the apartment house, such as apartment entrance card.

Since the present invention provides a means for making a payment even when there is no universally used payment means such as a credit card, the tenant can charge his electric vehicle only with a tenant-only card granted to the tenant even without a credit card. .

On the other hand, since the payment means information in the present invention is information for indicating that the payment is to be made in some way, when the payment is performed in a manner that includes the charging fee in the management fee of the residents, the method of obtaining the payment means information is described above. As described above, there may be a method of reading the information of a resident-only card or a credit card registered by the resident in advance, but it may also include a method of receiving identification information to prove the resident from the resident.

In addition, when a non-resident who receives the consent of the tenant to include his charge in the management fee of the tenant, the payment means information is obtained by receiving the identification information of the tenant and a signal proving the consent of the tenant. I can recognize it.

On the other hand, the resident information check unit 140 of the information processing means 200 checks whether or not the user who wants to charge the electric vehicle using the payment means information obtained from the payment means information acquisition unit 130.

The tenant information checker 140 stores information on the settlement method of the tenant and determines whether the tenant is a tenant based on whether the payment means information received from the settlement means information acquisition unit 130 matches the stored information. Check it.

The most common information available to identify residents is to check whether they have a resident-only card, such as an apartment entrance card, which is provided only to residents.

When the tenant brings his resident-only card to the payment means information acquisition unit 130, the information stored in the resident-only card is transmitted to the resident information confirmation unit 140 through the payment means information acquisition unit 130, and the resident information. The verification unit 140 confirms whether the information is the tenant by checking whether there is the same information as the transmitted information among the information of the registered tenant-only card.

In order to prevent the tenant from losing the tenant-only card and receiving a charge by using the tenant-only card, the information input / output unit is provided to the tenant when providing information of the tenant-only card through the payment means information acquisition unit 130. Through 120), a process of inputting identification information, such as inputting a living town or a lake, or inputting a preset password, may be further performed.

The tenant may prove to be a tenant by using a means issued only to the tenants of public housing, such as a tenant-only card, but may use a means for transmitting information through the payment means information acquisition unit 130, such as a credit card. You can also prove that you are a resident.

In order to prove to be a tenant using a credit card, the tenant must register his or her credit card information in the tenant information verification unit 140 of the information processing means 200 in advance.

Even when using a credit card can be additionally authenticated using a password or the like.

The payment processor 150 allows the payment according to the electric vehicle charging to be processed.

First, if the person who charged the electric car is identified as a resident by the resident information verification unit 140, such that the charges for charging the electric car are included in the bills that are periodically charged to the resident by the management office of the public housing such as administrative fees. do.

That is, in the system that manages the management fee, the electric charge of the electric car and the information of the occupant are managed to manage the electric charge or the management fee so that the electric charge of the tenant can be included in the electric charge of the tenant or that the charge is included as a separate item. Send to server.

On the other hand, the payment processing unit 150 may be able to charge the electric vehicle even if you are not a resident.

As a result of confirming the information obtained from the payment means information acquisition unit 130 through the resident information confirming unit 140, if it is determined that the user is not a resident, the payment processing unit 150 performs a payment processing using a conventional payment method. In the same way, the charge for charging is settled.

For example, when the information obtained from the payment method information acquisition unit 130 is credit card information, the credit card information and the amount of information according to the charge are provided to a van company or a credit card company as a normal card terminal performs. It transmits the information to include, if the payment is made to be charged to correspond to the corresponding amount.

When charging a non-resident visitor, the tenant's consent may be used to charge the charge for the household's household management fee.

In this case, the user inputs the resident's identification information such as the dong and the lake while the user requests that the charging fee be charged for the resident's management fee through the information input / output unit 120, and the information is output to the wall pad of the resident's home. If the tenant selects the consent button on the wall pad, the charging can be made.

In order to check the tenant's consent, it is possible to check by using a wall pad or an interphone installed in the tenant's home as above. If the tenant has registered his / her mobile number, the address can be confirmed by the mobile phone. There is also a way to send a text message with a call back URL and to have the tenant send a consent signal to a given address.

Alternatively, the tenant may register the password in advance, and if the user inputs the identification information and the password of the tenant, the tenant may determine that the tenant agrees.

The payment processing unit 150 may complete the payment processing before the charging is made, or before the charging is made, the payment processing unit 150 may receive the information about the payment method and then make the payment corresponding to the charging after the charging is made. have.

In order to be able to operate the charging means 100 unattended, it is necessary to prevent the user who has charged without going to the payment, in order to prevent this risk, at least to be charged after the payment information is transmitted, It would be desirable to allow charging after the payment has been processed.

2 is a flowchart illustrating the method of the present invention.

First, when a user, such as a resident of a public house or a visitor, wants to charge his electric vehicle, the electric vehicle is parked in a place where the charging means 100 is located, and then the user applies for charging through the information input / output unit 120 ( 201).

The information input and output unit 120 may have a variety of ways to recognize whether the charge is applied.

There is a button for charging application in the user interface of the information input and output unit 120, when the user selects the button may be recognized as a charging request, even if the charging request button does not exist separately, the user can If you perform a series of actions such as inputting or entering payment information, it may be recognized as charging.

In addition, the user interface of the information input and output unit 120 is implemented in the form of a touch screen, when not in use for a long time in the standby mode, the touch screen is touched or confirmed that the person is approached using the sensor In the case where it is set to be in the normal mode, it may be recognized that the charging request has been made to switch to the normal mode.

The user inputs the capacity to be charged in his electric vehicle through the information input and output unit 120 (202).

The amount of charge can be specified by the amount of power, it can be specified by the amount of money, such as the amount of charge, and the charging is completed without specifying the amount of charge, such as applying for a charge until the battery is fully charged. It is also possible to input by specifying.

The payment means information acquisition unit 130 obtains information on the payment means from the user and transmits the information to the resident information confirmation unit 140 (203).

Before the payment method information acquisition unit 130 acquires the payment method through the information input and output unit 120 before obtaining information about the payment method, the user may be set to obtain the information of the payment method according to the selected payment method. Alternatively, the payment method may be automatically recognized using information on the payment means.

That is, the payment processing unit 150 recognizes that the amount charged is added to the management fee when the tenant card issued to the tenant is used as a payment method or a payment method registered by the tenant in advance is used. When the non-registered credit card information is obtained through the payment means information acquisition unit 130, the payment may be processed according to a general credit card payment method.

In the case of a payment method that stores information such as a credit card or a resident card on its own magnetic line, IC chip, RFID tag, and transmits it to the payment method information acquisition unit 130, the user acquires the payment method information. Although the payment means is made by accessing or contacting a device capable of reading the information stored in the payment means, such as a card terminal, but if the payment means cannot transmit information by itself, such as cash, the user may use the information input / output unit ( Check the type of payment method according to the user input, such as selecting the payment method in cash through 120, and when the user actually put the cash into the cash dispenser provided in the payment method information acquisition unit 130, The information on the payment means will be obtained by obtaining the input amount information using the bill or coin information.

The resident information check unit 140 checks whether the information of the payment means transmitted from the payment method information acquisition unit 130 is a resident-only card provided only to the resident, or checks the payment method registered by the resident in advance. It is checked whether the means is the settlement means of the residents (204).

If it is determined that the payment means of the information obtained by the payment means information acquisition unit 130 is a payment method of the tenant, the payment processing unit 150 may settle payment only for the tenant, such as a method in which the recharge amount is added to the management fee of the tenant. The payment is processed according to the processing method (205).

If it is determined that the payment means of the information obtained by the payment means information acquisition unit 130 is not the payment means of the tenant, the payment processing unit 150 performs a payment processing method according to the type of payment means of the user to make a payment. (206).

For example, if it is determined that the payment method used by the user is a credit card, information such as payment amount and credit card information, signature information, or password is performed by a van company or a credit card company system as a general credit card terminal performs. It can be done by sending it to the company for approval.

In addition, even if the payment method used by the user is a cash card or a gift card, the payment procedure is performed accordingly.

In addition, if the user wants to make a direct payment in cash, the payment processing unit 150 allows the corresponding costs to be deposited through the cash dispenser provided in the payment means information acquisition unit 130, the change is to withdraw money To control the payment process.

What kind of payment means can perform the payment may vary depending on the type of the device provided in the payment means information acquisition unit 130 and the matter set by the system operator.

For example, when a cash dispenser is provided in the payment means information acquisition unit 130, payment using cash will be possible.

In addition, even if a device capable of reading credit card information is provided in the payment means information acquisition unit 130, the credit card registered by the tenant when the system operator sets only the tenant to be charged using the charging system of the present invention. Only when you make a payment using the credit card payment or residents can be added to the payment form.

When the payment is performed in this way, the charging unit 110 charges the connected electric vehicle by the amount applied for charging (207), and when the charging and payment is completed, all the procedures for charging are completed.

In the above method, the order of each step of charging may be different.

For example, in FIG. 2, after receiving the charge amount, the payment means information is obtained, and after the payment is processed, the charging is shown in the order of starting, but before the input of the charge amount, the payment means information may be obtained first. The charging may be performed before the payment is made.

In addition, it may be possible to make the step of acquiring the payment means information and the step of payment processing as the final step.

As described above, in order to charge, the step of receiving a charging amount should be preceded, and in order to perform a payment, the step of obtaining payment means information must be preceded, except for some restrictions. Can be changed arbitrarily.

More specific embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 6. 3 through 6 are flow diagrams illustrating in more detail one example of a method that may be performed by the present invention.

If it is not normal (302), the device error screen is output for each error (303).

If it is confirmed that the error is recovered again (304), the initial screen is output again.

If the user performs an operation such as pressing a start button on the touch screen of the information input / output unit 120 (305), the information input / output unit 120 outputs an initial charging screen (306).

4, the billing initial screen as described above is to select a payment method, the user can select from among payment methods such as cash, residents-only card, credit card (401).

When the cash is selected, the payment processing unit 150 allows the payment to be performed by injecting cash by the cash dispenser (402), and when the credit card is selected, the payment is performed according to the general credit card payment procedure (404). ). In the case of cash or credit card, it is a generally well-known procedure, and since it has been described above, the detailed method is omitted here.

If the user chooses to make a payment using a resident-only card (403), the user inputs the card for a predetermined time, for example, 1 minute, to obtain the card information (405). When the information acquisition unit 130 obtains the information of the resident-only card is input card, the information acquisition unit 130 transmits it to the resident information confirmation unit 140 to inquire whether the user is a resident (406).

If it is confirmed that the resident is not (407), the screen that the user authority is not displayed on the screen of the information input and output unit 120 is output (408), and if it is confirmed that the residents are input of the password through the information input and output unit 120 (409).

If it is determined that the password matches the password registered in the resident information check unit 140 (410), and proceeds to the charge setting screen (413), otherwise it is entered again by more than the set number of consecutive times, yes For example, if more than three times the wrong input (411) because the other person is likely to steal, stop using the card, and outputs the screen (412).

When the screen output through the information input and output unit 120 is the charge amount setting screen, the user enters the charge amount and confirms this (501).

When the input of the charge amount is completed, the charging unit 110 opens the safety device (502).

After the plug is plugged into the electric vehicle and grounded properly, wait for a predetermined time, for example, for 5 minutes (505), and if it is confirmed that it is properly grounded, the screen for charging completion is displayed (508), and the plug is not continuously plugged in. If not, print the plug-in error screen, go back to the initial screen, and proceed from the beginning again.

Checking whether the user presses the charging start button (509), and returns to the initial screen even when it is confirmed that the user has not pressed for a predetermined time, for example, 5 minutes (507).

When the charging start button is input, it is checked whether the emergency politics button is released (510), and if it is released, power supply is started (512), otherwise the screen for requesting the emergency politics button release is output.

When power supply is started, a screen indicating that charging is performed is output (513).

6, if an emergency stop is input (601) or grounding falls (604) during charging, an abnormal situation is output (602, 605), and the user releases an abnormal state. Or, if the healing request after refilling (603, 606), and continues to charge again.

If the charging is completed (607), or the abnormal state is still maintained, the charging power is cut off (608), and the user is required to disconnect the ground (609).

When the user releases the ground within a predetermined time, for example, 5 minutes (610), the charging unit 110 generates the charging completed data, and locks (611) the charging safety device.

Thereafter, the information input / output unit 120 outputs the charging completion standby screen (612), when the user selects the receipt output (613), after outputting the receipt (614), and outputs the completion screen (615).
