In the method for providing battery information according to the present invention, a process of executing an application related to a battery may be performed (S210).

The battery-related application is installed in the user's electronic device, and may output a plurality of pages 200 on the display of the electronic device.

In this case, the battery-related application may be a dedicated application for providing battery information. Alternatively, the battery-related application may be an application that provides additional functions (eg, messenger, web browser function, etc.) other than providing battery information.

Meanwhile, the page 200 is a page associated with the battery information providing system 100 according to the present invention, and is configured to be controlled by the information providing system 100 according to the present invention.

Furthermore, when the page 200 is provided in the form of an application, the page 200 may be controlled by a control module provided in the application. In this case, the control module provided with the application may provide information about the battery to the user based on the information provided by the battery information providing system 100 according to the present invention.

Furthermore, when an application related to the battery is executed, the application may perform pairing with the battery.

Pairing may be a process of allowing a battery-related application (or an electronic device in which a battery-related application is installed) and the battery to connect and operate. Such pairing may require registration for pairing. After registration for pairing is performed for the first time, a battery-related application (or an electronic device in which a battery-related application is installed) may automatically perform pairing.

Next, in the method for providing battery information according to the present invention, a process of receiving battery-related information from the battery may proceed (S210).

As described above, the battery-related information (or data) may include “battery-related information (or data)” and various types of battery-related information. For example, battery-related information includes: i) unique information of the battery (eg, identification number, ID, etc.), ii) battery temperature information (surface temperature of the battery or internal temperature of the battery), iii) voltage of the battery (total voltage of the battery, a plurality of cell voltages corresponding to each of a plurality of cells related to the battery), iv) battery voltage or current information, v) battery remaining power (or remaining capacity) information, vi) battery status information (battery is charged state (energy storage state) or discharged state (energy use state, etc.), vii) information about the communication state of the battery (especially the communication module included in the battery), viii) information related to the heating (preheating or heating) of the battery ( For example, it may be at least one of a temperature of a heating film for battery heating), ix) a location of a battery, and x) a target device using a battery. However, the information listed above is an example, and the information related to the battery may include all information about the battery required for explanation in the present invention.

The communication unit 110 may receive battery-related information directly from the battery 10 or from an electronic device (not shown) connected to the battery 10 . In the latter case, the battery 10 may transmit battery-related information to an electronic device (not shown), and the electronic device (not shown) may transmit battery-related information to the communication unit 110 . However, in the following description, for convenience of explanation, it will be described without distinguishing whether the communication unit 110 receives information related to the battery directly from the battery 10 or from an electronic device (not shown).

Next, in the method for providing battery information according to the present invention, the process of displaying the received battery-related information on the execution screen of the application may proceed (S230).

The execution screen of the application may include i) a status display area in which battery status information is displayed, and ii) a notification display area in which battery-related notification information is displayed. Hereinafter, for convenience of description, the application execution screen including the status display area and the notification display area will be named as the monitoring information providing page 200 .

The controller 130 may control to display battery-related information or processed (or generated) battery state information based on battery-related information in the state display area.

The control unit 130 controls the graphic object corresponding to the remaining power of the battery to be exposed in one area on the monitoring information providing page 200, and the shape (size, length) of the graphic object based on the change in the remaining power of the battery. , volume, area, etc.) and color may be controlled to be changed.

Specifically, the controller 130 may control the graphic object of a circular bar with an empty center to be exposed on the monitoring information providing page 200 to correspond to the remaining power of the battery. In this case, the controller 130 may extend or shorten the length of the graphic object of the circular bar in a counterclockwise direction (or clockwise direction) to correspond to the remaining power of the battery based on one point.

As an example, as shown in Fig. 3a, the control unit 130 on the monitoring information providing page 200, so as to correspond to the remaining power 312 of 75% of the battery, the point 311 in the 12 o'clock direction As a reference, it is possible to control to expose the circular bar graphic object 310 extending by 3/4 of the circumference of the circle in the counterclockwise direction. As another example, as shown in Figure 3b, the control unit 130 on the page 200, to correspond to the remaining power 322 of 50% of the battery, based on the point 321 in the 12 o'clock direction, It can be controlled to expose the circular bar graphic object 320 extending by half the length of the circumference of the circle in the counterclockwise direction.

Furthermore, in one area on the monitoring information providing page 200 , the control unit 130 provides information on the remaining power 312 of the battery, the remaining available time information 313 of the battery, the voltage of the battery 314 , and the current information of the battery ( 315) and at least one of the battery temperature information 316 may be controlled to be exposed. When the information is changed, the controller 130 may control the changed information to be output on the monitoring information providing page 200 (refer to FIG. 3A ).

Meanwhile, the battery 10 may include a plurality of cells (units or modules) in which a positive electrode plate (or positive electrode material) and a negative electrode plate (or negative electrode material) form a group.

A cell of the battery 10 is a minimum unit constituting a rechargeable battery (particularly, a secondary battery), and each cell can generate a respective cell voltage.

A plurality of cell voltages corresponding to each of the plurality of cells included in the battery 10 may have a deviation due to a plurality of factors (eg, process factors, environmental factors, etc.) to cause a voltage imbalance between cells. can

The cell-to-cell voltage unbalance state reduces the efficiency of the battery 10 and in the worst case, the battery 10 may explode, so it is very important to maintain the cell-to-cell voltage balance.

Accordingly, the controller 130 may control a plurality of cell voltages 317 corresponding to each of a plurality of cells constituting the battery 10 to be output to one region on the monitoring information providing page 200 of the electronic device.

When the control unit 130 outputs the plurality of cell voltages 317 on the information providing monitoring page 200, each of the plurality of cell voltages 317a and 317b is a voltage of which cell among the plurality of cells can be distinguished, It is possible to control each of the plurality of cell voltages 317a and 317b and the identification information 318a and 318b of a cell (cell number or cell name) corresponding to each of the plurality of cell voltages to match each other and output (Fig. see 3a).

Furthermore, when outputting the plurality of cell voltages 317 on the page 200 , the controller 130 , the graphic object 319 having a color different from the respective cell voltages 317 based on a preset criterion ) can be controlled to overlap and output.

The preset criterion is a criterion for discriminating whether a cell causing inter-cell imbalance or a cell not causing inter-cell imbalance, and a detailed description thereof will be provided later.

Meanwhile, the controller 130 may control the color of the graphic object corresponding to the remaining power of the battery to be exposed differently on the monitoring information providing page 200 based on whether the battery is in a charged state or a discharged state.

The state of charge of the battery may be a state in which electric energy is stored by receiving electric energy from an external power source. On the other hand, the discharge state of the battery may be a state in which stored electrical energy is consumed.

The controller 130 may output different colors of graphic objects corresponding to the remaining power of the battery when the battery is in a charged state and when the battery is in a discharged state, even though the remaining power of the battery is the same. Accordingly, the user can intuitively know whether the battery is in a charged state or a discharged state.

For example, FIG. 3A is a monitoring information providing page 200 for the battery 10 in a charged state, and FIG. 3C is a monitoring information providing page 200 for the battery 10 in a discharged state. Although the remaining battery power is the same as 75% (312, 331), the graphic object 310 corresponding to the remaining battery power when the battery 10 is in a discharged state and corresponding to the remaining battery power when the battery is in a charged state The color of the graphic object 330 to be used may be output differently.

Furthermore, when the battery is in a charged state, the controller 130 may control to further output a time required for charging completion 333 in addition to the remaining usage time information 332 of the battery on the page 200 . .

Meanwhile, the battery temperature information (the internal temperature of the battery or the external temperature of the battery) is an important factor to be considered for charging the battery. A rechargeable battery (ie, a secondary battery) has a characteristic that performance deteriorates or oxidizes and swells when exposed to high temperature or low temperature for a long time. In particular, a rechargeable battery (secondary battery) has a safety problem because it swells up and explodes when charging at a low temperature, so temperature information of the battery is a very important factor to consider when charging the battery.

Accordingly, the controller 130 may control the temperature information of the battery to be output to one area on the monitoring information providing page 200 . At this time, the controller 130 controls the total temperature (or average temperature) information 316 of the battery as shown in FIG. 3A to be output on the monitoring information providing page 200, or as shown in FIG. It is possible to control the surface temperature information 410 of the battery and the internal temperature 420 of the battery to be output on the monitoring information providing page 200 . Furthermore, the controller 130 controls so that at least one of the total temperature (or average temperature) information of the battery, the surface temperature information 410 of the battery, and the internal temperature 420 of the battery is output on the monitoring information providing page 200 . can do.

The controller 130 may control information related to the communication state of the battery 10 to be output to an area on the monitoring information providing page 200 . For example, when the battery 10 is in good communication state with at least one of the communication unit 110 and the electronic device (not shown) of the battery information providing system 100, information indicating that the communication is good (for example, , the battery communication state good, 510) may be output. On the other hand, when the communication state of the battery 10 is not good, information indicating that the communication state of the battery 10 is not good on the monitoring information providing page 200 (eg, between the battery and the electronic device) Connection is lost, please check the communication status, 520) may be output.

Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 3A , the controller 130 may control to output battery-related notification information to the notification display area 319 on the monitoring information providing page 200 . The controller 130 may control the notification display area 319 to display notification information for guiding a notification related to the battery based on the information related to the battery.

The controller 130 may determine whether temperature information among the battery-related information satisfies a preset condition, and may control to display different notification information related to battery charging according to the determination result.

More specifically, the controller 130 may determine whether the temperature information satisfies a preset condition. Here, the preset condition may be understood as a preset temperature range. The preset temperature range may be a temperature range of the battery in which the battery is safely charged. This preset temperature range may be set by an administrator, or may be set based on temperature information of the battery or the ambient temperature of the battery.

As a result of the determination, when the temperature information satisfies a preset condition, the control unit 130 may control to display notification information guiding that the battery charging is possible in the notification display area. The notification information for guiding that the battery is in a chargeable state may include various types of information for a user to recognize that the battery is in a chargeable state. For example, the notification information guiding that the battery is charging is possible may be a phrase such as “The battery can be charged”, “The current battery temperature is within a preset temperature range”, or a specific graphic.

Furthermore, as a result of the determination, the controller 130 determines that when the temperature information does not satisfy a preset condition (that is, when the temperature information of the battery is not included within a preset temperature range capable of safely charging the battery), the controller ( 130) may control to display notification information guiding that the battery charging is not possible in the notification display area.

More specifically, the controller 130 may transmit a control command related to battery heating to the battery so that the battery is heated so that the temperature information of the battery reaches within a preset temperature range. In this case, the control unit 130 may control to output notification information indicating that the battery is being heated (eg, the battery temperature is being raised) is output to the notification display area.

Furthermore, the controller 130 may calculate an expected time when the battery becomes a chargeable state or an expected heating time of the battery. In this case, the control unit 130 is based on the time when the heating of the battery is terminated based on the temperature of the battery or the time required until the heating of the battery is terminated, the expected time when the battery is in a chargeable state or the expected heating time of the battery can be calculated. Thereafter, the control unit 130 provides notification information to guide the expected time when the battery can be charged (for example, the battery can be charged after 10 minutes) and notification information to guide the expected heating time of the battery (for example, , the battery will be heated for 10 minutes), etc., can be controlled to be displayed in the notification area.

Meanwhile, when the temperature information does not satisfy a preset condition, the controller 130 may transmit a control command for controlling the battery to be heated until the temperature information satisfies the preset condition to the battery. In this case, the control command transmitted to the battery may include a command for controlling the operation of a temperature control unit (eg, a heating film) of the battery.

Furthermore, when the information related to the battery includes information related to the battery charge reservation, the controller 130 controls the temperature of the battery so that the temperature information satisfies a preset condition at a time point corresponding to the information related to the battery charge reservation. A control command for controlling the driving of the negative unit may be transmitted to the battery.

Here, the information related to the charge reservation of the battery may be information indicating that the battery has a charge reservation. The information related to the battery charge reservation may include information capable of specifying a time point at which charging of the battery is started (or terminated). Specifically, the information related to the charge reservation of the battery may include information about a future time point at which charging of the battery will start, or a condition for allowing the charging of the battery to start.

Meanwhile, the control unit 130 may calculate a preheating start time point at which the power used to drive the temperature controller becomes the minimum, based on a time point corresponding to information related to temperature information and battery charge reservation among the battery-related information. there is. The preheating start time may be understood as a time when the temperature controller is driven to heat the battery.

As an example, assuming that the time point corresponding to the information related to the charge reservation of the battery is 10 minutes after the present time, and it takes 7 minutes for the temperature information of the battery to reach the preset temperature range, the preheating start time is 3 It could be a minute later. As another example, assuming that it takes 2 minutes for the temperature information of the battery to reach the preset temperature range, the preheating start time may be 8 minutes after the current time.

In this case, the controller 130 may output notification information for guiding the time when heating of the battery starts to the notification display area. For example, the control unit 130 may control to display notification information such as “The temperature of the battery is raised after 3 minutes”.

On the other hand, battery-related notification information displayed in the notification display area is not limited to information related to battery charging based on temperature information, and various types of notification information for notifying battery-related information based on battery-related information exist. can

For example, i) If all battery functions are normal, the guide phrase 'Battery is normal' is matched, and ii) If the battery's Bluetooth is turned off (in the OFF state), ' Turn on Bluetooth', iii) If the battery's Bluetooth connection is disconnected, 'Bluetooth connection has been lost. Try to reconnect’, iv) When the battery is depleted (the remaining battery power is 0), ‘The battery power was turned off due to discharge. Please proceed with emergency charging (Battery power was turned off due to discharge.), v) If the cell voltage difference is more than the allowable difference, ‘Balance charging is in progress. (Balancing charging is in progress. This takes about 8 hours.)' vi) When the battery temperature during charging is below a certain temperature (eg 5℃) , 'You are raising the battery temperature. When the battery temperature is normalized, the notification information of 'The battery temperature is increasing. Charging starts when the temperature is normalized.' may be matched.

As another example, when the amount of energy consumed is greater than (or greater than) a preset discharge capacity (eg, 200 Ah) when the battery is in a discharged state, the controller 130 may include notification information related to whether the battery is abnormal. (For example, battery usage (or consumption) exceeds the allowable range!) can be controlled to be output.

Meanwhile, the notification information may be displayed in an area other than the notification display area. As an example, as shown in (a) of FIG. 6A , when the remaining power of the battery becomes less than or equal to a preset ratio (eg, 20%, 611) to the total capacity of the battery, By changing the color of the graphic object 612 corresponding to the remaining power of the battery, it is possible to notify the user that the battery needs to be charged. As another example, as shown in (b) of FIG. 6A , the controller 130 may control a pop-up message 613 (a pop-up window or a push message) to be output on the lock screen 600 of the electronic device. As another example, the controller 130, when the battery is in a charging state, when the amount of stored energy exceeds (or more than) a preset charging capacity (eg, 60Ah), the page 200 for providing monitoring information ), monitoring information related to whether the battery is abnormal (eg, the battery charge exceeds the allowable range!) can be controlled to be output.

Meanwhile, when an abnormality occurs in the state of the battery, the controller 130 may control to display battery state information including information related to the abnormality (abnormal state information) on the state display area.

Specifically, the control unit 130 separates cells having cell voltages outside the preset cell voltage range (voltage tolerance) from other cells having cell voltages that do not exceed the preset cell voltage range (voltage tolerance). It can be controlled so that the color of the graphic object overlapping the voltage is output differently.

For example, as shown in (a) of FIG. 6B , it is assumed that the cell voltages 621 and 2.78 V of cell 4 are out of a preset cell voltage range. The color of the graphic object 622 overlapping the voltage (621a, 2.78 V) of cell 4 is the voltage of other cells (cells 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, and 8). It may be exposed differently from the color of the graphic object 623 overlapping at (3.24 V).

Furthermore, when the monitoring information providing page 200 is not being output on the electronic device, the control unit 130 provides information on cells having a cell voltage out of a preset cell voltage range (voltage tolerance), a pop-up message 624, A pop-up window or a push message) may be used to output on an electronic device (eg, the lock screen 600) (refer to (b) of FIG. 6b).

Meanwhile, when the temperature information of the battery is out of a preset temperature range, the controller 130 may control to output monitoring information indicating that there is an abnormality in the temperature of the battery on the page 200 on which the monitoring information is provided.

For example, as shown in (a) of FIG. 6C , it is assumed that the internal temperature of the battery (632, for example, minus 7.2 °C) is out of a preset range (for example, minus 5 °C or higher). . On the monitoring providing page 200 , a graphic object 632 overlapping an area in which the internal temperature 631 of the battery is output may be exposed.

Meanwhile, when the cell-to-cell voltage is in an unbalanced state, the controller 130 may control the battery so that the cell-to-cell voltage is in a balanced state.

Specifically, when the difference between the largest cell voltage and the smallest cell voltage among the plurality of cell voltages is equal to or greater than a first value, the controller 130 controls the plurality of cell voltages so that the difference is equal to or less than a second value. can be controlled.

For example, as shown in (a) of FIG. 6B , the difference (0.46V) between the largest cell voltage (3.24V) and the smallest cell voltages (621, 2.78V) is the first value (eg, . can do.

On the other hand, when the battery 10 is charged at a low temperature, the controller 130 controls the temperature information of the battery in a certain range in order to prevent the performance of the battery 10 from being deteriorated or the battery 10 from being oxidized and swollen. can be controlled to remain as

First, when the temperature information of the battery is equal to or less than the first temperature, the controller 130 controls the temperature controller included in the battery (eg, until the temperature information of the battery reaches a second temperature higher than the first temperature). The temperature of the thermal film) can be controlled. In this case, the temperature of the battery may be any one of the overall temperature of the battery, the surface temperature of the battery, and the internal temperature of the battery.

For example, as shown in (a) of Figure 6c, the internal temperature (631, minus 7.2 ℃) of the battery is less than the first temperature (for example, minus 5 ℃), the control unit 130 to the battery It is possible to control the included temperature control unit (eg, heating film) in an on (heating) state. Furthermore, when the internal temperature of the battery reaches the second temperature (eg, 5°C), the controller 130 may control the state of the temperature controller included in the battery to be an OFF state.

On the other hand, as described above, a rechargeable battery (secondary battery) has a safety problem because it swells up and explodes when charging at a low temperature. Accordingly, charging should be started only when the temperature of the rechargeable battery (secondary battery) is within a predetermined temperature range.

To this end, the rechargeable battery (secondary battery) has a temperature control unit (a role of transferring heat) for increasing the temperature of the battery so that the temperature information of the battery becomes a battery chargeable temperature (a preset temperature range). , for example, a thermal film).

The controller 130 may control the temperature controller to operate in an ON (heating) state in order to transfer heat to the battery (or cells of the battery). That is, the controller 130 may control the temperature control unit (eg, heating film) of the battery to be preheated (or heated) in order to increase the temperature of the battery (to heat the battery).

Accordingly, in the present invention, heating (or preheating) the battery can be understood as heating (or preheating) a temperature control unit (eg, a heating film) that serves to transfer heat to the battery.

Hereinafter, a method of heating the battery so that the temperature information of the battery may be within a predetermined temperature range at the time of charging the battery will be described.

First, when the battery information providing system 100 according to the present invention includes information related to the battery charge reservation among the information related to the battery, it is possible to control the charging of the battery to start at a time corresponding to the information related to the battery charge reservation. can

The controller 130 according to the present invention may control the battery (heating the battery) so that the temperature information of the battery is maintained above a reference value at a time corresponding to the information related to the battery charge reservation of the battery.

When the control unit 130 receives the information related to the charge reservation of the battery, the time at which the temperature information of the battery can reach the preset temperature range reference value or more at the time corresponding to the information related to the battery charge reservation start time of preheating of the battery can be calculated. In this case, the controller 130 may calculate a preheating start time to minimize battery power consumption for preheating the battery. The controller 130 may control the heating of the battery to start at the calculated reservation start time.

Furthermore, the battery information providing system 100 according to the present invention may provide the battery charge reservation page 710 on the execution screen of the application so that the user can reserve the battery charge.

The battery charging reservation page 710 may include an item for inputting a time when charging of the battery starts. Referring to FIG. 7A , the page 710 for battery charge reservation may include a charge reservation date and time item 711 and battery charge condition selection items 712 and 713 .

The charge reservation date and time item 711 may be an item through which a date and time may be input. The user may input a charging start time (or battery charging end time) of the battery through the charge reservation date and time item 711 . When receiving the battery charging time (or battery charging end time) input by the user, the control unit 130 charges the battery so that charging of the battery starts at the received time (or the charging of the battery ends at the received time) It can be controlled (refer to (a) of FIG. 7A).

The battery charging condition selection items 712 and 713 may include charging conditions for specifying a charging start time of the battery. That is, the user may input (or select) a charging condition for specifying a charging start time of the battery through the battery charging condition selection item of the battery charging reservation page 710 . When the charging condition input (or selected) by the user is received, the control unit 130 may continuously monitor to determine whether the received charging condition is achieved. The controller 130 may control charging of the battery so that charging of the battery starts when the charging condition is achieved.

Here, the charging condition may be set based on i) the remaining power (remaining amount) of the battery and ii) the temperature of the battery (at least one of the total temperature of the battery, the internal temperature of the battery, and the surface temperature of the battery).

When the remaining power (remaining amount) of the battery is used as a reference, the charging condition may be such that the remaining power (remaining amount) of the battery is less than (or less than) a certain percentage of the total capacity of the battery. The controller 130 may set a plurality of charging conditions based on the remaining power (remaining amount) of different batteries by setting the predetermined ratios differently.

For example, as shown in (b) of FIG. 7, the control unit 130 sets the charging condition, i) that the remaining power (remaining amount) of the battery is less than or equal to the first ratio (10%, 712a) of the total capacity of the battery. case, ii) the remaining power (remaining amount) of the battery may be set to be less than or equal to a second ratio (70%, 712a) greater than the first ratio of the total capacity of the battery. When the user selects, as the charging condition, a case in which the remaining power (remaining amount) of the battery is less than or equal to the second ratio (70%, 712b) of the total capacity of the battery, the controller 130 controls the time when the total capacity of the battery becomes less than or equal to the second ratio You can control the start of charging the battery.

Furthermore, when the temperature of the battery is used as a reference, the charging condition may be that temperature information of the battery is equal to or higher than (or exceeds) a certain temperature. The control unit 130 may set a plurality of charging conditions based on different temperatures of the batteries by setting the predetermined temperatures differently.

For example, as shown in (c) of FIG. 7A , the controller 130 sets the charging conditions, i) when the internal temperature of the battery is equal to or higher than the first temperature (image 10°C, 713a), ii) the internal temperature of the battery A case in which the temperature is equal to or greater than the second temperature (0°C, 713b) smaller than the first temperature may be set as the charging condition. When the user selects a charging condition when the internal temperature of the battery is equal to or higher than the second temperature (0 °C, 713b), the controller 130 controls the battery when the temperature information of the battery becomes equal to or higher than the second temperature (0 °C, 713b). can be controlled to start charging.

Meanwhile, the controller 130 may provide a function for the user to reserve the preheating of the battery through the battery preheating reservation page 720 .

The battery preheating reservation page 720 may include an item for a time point at which preheating of the battery starts separately from charging of the battery. Referring to FIG. 7B , the page 720 for battery preheating reservation may include a preheating reservation date and time item 721 and battery preheating condition selection items 722 and 723 .

Like the battery charge reservation page 710 , the controller 130 may receive the battery preheating start time (or the battery preheating end time) through the preheating reservation date and time item 721 . The controller 130 may control the preheating of the battery so that the preheating of the battery starts at the received time (or the preheating of the battery ends at the received time) (refer to (a) of FIG. 7B ).

The battery preheating condition selection items 722 and 723 may input a preheating condition for specifying a preheating start (or preheating end) timing of the battery. When the preheating condition input by the user is received, the controller 130 may control the preheating of the battery so that the preheating of the battery starts (or ends) when the preheating condition is achieved.

Here, the preheating condition may be based on i) the charging time of the battery and ii) the temperature of the battery (at least one of the overall temperature of the battery, the internal temperature of the battery, and the surface temperature of the battery).

When the charging time of the battery is used as a reference, the preheating condition may be that the preheating of the battery starts (or ends) before a predetermined time from the charging start time of the battery. That is, the controller 130 may control the preheating of the battery to start (or end) before a predetermined time from the charging start time of the battery.

For example, as shown in (b) of FIG. 7B , the control unit 130 sets the preheating condition to i) a first time (30 minutes, 722a) before the charging start time of the battery, ii) the battery It can be set to the case of a second time (1 hour, 722b) longer than the first time from the charging start time of . When the user selects the second time (1 hour, 722b) from the charging start time of the battery as the preheating condition, the controller 130 controls the battery at the second time (1 hour, 722b) from the charging start time of the battery can be controlled to start (or end) the preheating of

Furthermore, when the temperature of the battery is used as a reference, the preheating condition may be that temperature information of the battery is less than (or less than) a predetermined temperature. The controller 130 may set a plurality of preheating conditions based on different temperatures of the batteries by setting the predetermined temperatures differently.

For example, as shown in (c) of FIG. 7B, the control unit 130 sets the preheating condition, i) when the internal temperature of the battery is less than or equal to the first temperature (image 5°C, 723a), ii) the interior of the battery A case in which the temperature is less than or equal to a second temperature (0° C., 723b) smaller than the first temperature may be set as a preheating condition. When the user selects as the charging condition a case in which the internal temperature of the battery is less than or equal to the first temperature (°C, 723a), the controller 130 controls the battery when the temperature information of the battery is less than or equal to the first temperature (5°C, 723a). Preheating can be controlled to start.

Meanwhile, the battery information providing system 100 according to the present invention may provide a user-customized battery control service together. Accordingly, the battery information providing system 100 according to the present invention can provide a function for the user to conveniently and efficiently control and manage the battery by providing a user-customized service related to battery control.

First, the battery information providing system 100 according to the present invention may provide a user-customized battery preheating and battery charging service based on a user's battery charging pattern.

The control unit 130 recognizes the battery charging pattern, predicts (or calculates) the expected charging time when the user charges the battery, and at the predicted (or calculated) charging expected time, the temperature information of the battery satisfies a preset condition ( That is, the battery may be heated to exceed the reference value (to reach within a preset temperature range).

The charging pattern of the battery may be recognized through the charging history, which is information related to charging of the battery.

The charging history may include a plurality of time points (dates and times) when the battery is charged. Such a charging history may be included in information related to the battery. In addition, the charging history may be stored in the storage unit 120 by matching the time of charging the battery with the user account (or unique information of the battery) by the controller 130 .

The control unit 130 analyzes a correlation between a plurality of battery charging time points, a cycle in which the user charges the battery, a time (or time zone) in which the user charges the battery, and the remaining battery power (or the battery) in which the user charges the battery. A battery charging pattern such as a ratio to the total capacity) can be recognized.

The controller 130 may calculate a preheating start time that allows the temperature information of the battery to satisfy a preset condition at the predicted charging time point. As described above, the preheating start time is a time point at which the temperature controller is driven to heat the battery, and may be a time point at which power used to drive the temperature controller is minimized.

The controller 130 may transmit a control command for controlling the operation of the temperature controller to the battery so that the battery is heated from the calculated battery preheating start time.

For example, as shown in FIG. 8A , when the user charges the battery on the 1st ( 811 ), the 4th ( 812 ), and the 7th ( 813 ), the controller 130 controls the user to change the battery every 3 days. can recognize charging. Based on the user's battery charging pattern, the controller 130 may predict the 10th day (814), which is 3 days later, as the expected charging time based on the 7th (813), which is the last battery charging time. The control unit 130 calculates the preheating start time (9 days, 815) based on the predicted charging expected time of 10 days (814) and the battery temperature information, and gives a control command to drive the temperature controller at the calculated time point. It can be transferred to the battery.

Meanwhile, the battery information providing system 100 according to the present invention may recognize a user's battery usage pattern and provide a user-customized battery charging recommendation service.

The control unit 130 recognizes the battery usage pattern, calculates the expected usage power of the battery, and based on the calculated battery usage power, induction information for inducing charging of the battery (or notification information for inducing charging of the battery) You can control it to be displayed in the notification area.

The usage pattern of the battery may be recognized through the usage history, which is information related to the usage of the battery (or power consumption of the battery).

The usage history may include information on the usage (or power consumption) of the battery. Such a usage history may be included in information related to the battery. In addition, the usage history may be matched with a user account (or unique information of the battery) and stored in the storage unit 120 by the control unit 130 based on power of the battery being used.

The control unit 130 analyzes the battery usage (or consumption), and the user has a relatively high battery usage (or consumption) period, the user has relatively low battery usage (or consumption), and the user charges the battery. It is possible to recognize battery usage patterns such as

The control unit 130 may control so that the induction information for recommending charging the battery to the user is output to the notification display area before the point in time when the user's battery usage (or consumption amount) is predicted to increase.

For example, when the expected user's battery usage (or consumption) is equal to or greater than (or exceeds) a preset usage (or a preset ratio to the total capacity of the battery), the control unit 130 provides induction information to recommend battery charging. It can be controlled to be output to the notification display area.

As another example, when the difference between the remaining battery power and the expected user's battery usage (or consumption) is less than (or less than) a preset capacity, the controller 130 outputs induction information to recommend battery charging to the notification display area. can be controlled as much as possible.

On the other hand, the control unit 130 induces a guide phrase (eg, battery usage is predicted to increase. Charge the battery now!) or a battery charge reservation on the notification display area to induce battery charging. You can control the display of prompts (for example, battery usage is predicted to increase. Schedule a battery charge!). Also, the controller 130 may check a user input for a preset area while the guide phrase is exposed on the pop-up message. In this case, the user's input may be a user's touch input.

When there is an input to the preset region, the controller 130 may transmit a control command for controlling charging of the battery to the battery. Furthermore, the controller 130 may control the battery charging reservation page 710 or the battery preheating reservation page 720 to be output on the electronic device.

For example, referring to FIG. 8B , the user's battery usage pattern shows that the battery is fully charged (remaining power 100, 821) at dawn, and between 7 am and 9 pm (822) and 18:00 - 20:00 ( 823), the battery usage (or battery consumption) is relatively large. Based on the user's battery usage pattern, the controller 130 outputs notification information for inducing battery charging in the notification display area before (eg, 16:00, 824) between 18:00 and 20:00 (823). can be controlled as much as possible.

Meanwhile, the battery information providing system 100 according to the present invention may provide the user-customized remaining battery power information recalculated based on the status display area and the battery usage environment.

The battery residual power information recalculated based on the battery usage environment may be information calculated by subtracting a capacity corresponding to power used (or required) for heating the battery from the residual power of the battery.

Specifically, the information related to the battery may include information related to the remaining power of the battery and information about the ambient temperature (or external temperature) of the battery. The ambient temperature information of the battery is temperature information of a point spaced apart from the battery, and may be understood as information on the environment in which the battery is located. That is, the ambient temperature of the battery and the temperature of the battery may be temperatures measured at different points (reference).

Based on the ambient temperature information of the battery, the controller 130 may calculate the power used to drive the temperature controller of the battery so that the temperature information of the battery satisfies a preset condition. The controller 130 may recalculate the remaining power of the battery by subtracting the power used for driving the temperature controller from the remaining power of the battery.

Furthermore, the controller 130 may control information related to the recalculated remaining power of the battery to be displayed in the battery state display area.

Power used to drive the temperature controller may be calculated differently depending on the ambient temperature (or external temperature) of the battery. For a battery having a relatively low external temperature, the control unit 130 calculates a large amount of power used for driving the temperature control unit, and for a battery with a relatively high ambient temperature of the battery, the power used for driving the temperature control unit can be calculated small.

For example, user-customized remaining battery power information recalculated based on the battery usage environment will be described together with FIG. 8C . Assume that first and second batteries having the same performance (capacity) and being fully charged (remaining battery power of 100%) are located in environments having different ambient temperatures. The first ambient temperature of the first battery is minus 3.2°C (831), and the second ambient temperature of the second battery is minus 12°C (832). The control unit 130 calculates the power of the battery (20% of the total battery capacity, 833) required for heating the first battery based on the first ambient temperature, and is required for heating the second battery based on the second ambient temperature The power of the battery (0% of the total battery capacity, 834) can be calculated. In this case, the control unit 130 subtracts the power required for heating of the first battery (20%, 833) from the remaining power (100%) of the first battery, and then re-calculates the remaining power (80%, 835) of the battery The calculated and recalculated remaining power (80%, 835) of the battery may be output on the monitoring information providing page 200 . At this time, the graphic object 837 corresponding to the remaining battery power may also be output with a length of 80% of the circumference of the circle. On the other hand, the controller 130 recalculates the remaining power (100%, 836) of the battery by subtracting the power (0%, 834) required for heating the second battery from the remaining power (100%) of the second battery. and the recalculated remaining power (100%, 836) of the battery may be output to the monitoring information providing page 200 . At this time, the graphic object 838 corresponding to the remaining battery power may also be output with a length of 100% of the circumference of the circle.

As such, even with batteries having the same performance (capacity) and the same residual power, the information providing system 100 according to the present invention provides only the remaining battery power that can actually be used to the user, excluding the power required for the battery to heat, to the user, can efficiently and intuitively use and manage the battery.
