  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the description of the drawings, the same or equivalent elements are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description is omitted.

  First, the function and configuration of the battery management system 1 according to the embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

  The battery management system 1 notifies a user of a mobile device wearing a battery to be collected, and remotely controls the mobile device to stop charging the battery as necessary. It is. The battery mounted on the mobile device is generally provided as a battery pack. However, in the present application, in principle, the battery including the battery pack is also expressed as “battery”. As shown in FIG. 1, the battery management system 1 includes an exchange 10 and a plurality of mobile devices 20 that constitute a mobile communication network. Examples of the mobile device 20 include a mobile phone and a personal digital assistant (PDA), but the type of mobile device is not limited to these. The exchange 10 performs conventional processing such as call connection and plays the role of a server in the battery management system 1. In FIG. 1, a part of the mobile communication network is denoted by reference numeral N.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the exchange 10 includes a battery ID storage unit 11, a frequency storage unit 12, an ID acquisition unit 13, a display instruction unit 14, and a charge prohibition instruction unit 15 as functional components.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the exchange 10 includes a CPU 101, a main storage unit 102 composed of a ROM and a RAM, an auxiliary storage unit 103 composed of a hard disk, and other communication devices. A communication control unit 104 that performs transmission / reception, an input unit 105 configured with operation keys and the like, and an output unit 106 configured with a monitor and the like are provided. Each function of the exchange 10 shown in FIG. 2 reads a predetermined program on the CPU 101 or the main storage unit 102, operates the communication control unit 104, the input unit 105, and the output unit 106 under the control of the CPU 101. This is realized by reading or writing data to the storage unit 102 or the auxiliary storage unit 103.

  Returning to FIG. 2, the battery ID storage unit 11 is a part that stores one or a plurality of battery IDs that specify a battery to be collected. The battery ID of the battery to be collected is stored in the battery ID storage unit 11 by the input operation of the operator of the exchange 10.

  The battery ID is battery information including pack / cell, cell information, and pack information, and functions as a traceability code. The pack / cell is composed of a battery pack type name and a code indicating the manufacturer. The cell information includes a cell manufacturing date and a manufacturing line number. The pack information is composed of the manufacture date of the pack and the production line number. Therefore, it is possible to obtain detailed information from the battery ID indicating on what line on which line what year, month, and day.

  The number-of-times storage unit 12 stores, for each mobile device 20, the number of times it is determined that the battery to be collected is mounted (the number of times the battery ID of the mobile device 20 matches the battery ID for verification). is there. Specifically, the number storage unit 12 stores terminal identification information (for example, terminal ID or telephone number) for identifying the mobile device 20 in association with the number of times (hereinafter referred to as “matching number”).

  The ID acquisition unit 13 is a part that acquires the battery ID of the battery of each mobile device 20. First, the ID acquisition unit 13 generates a request signal for acquiring a battery ID from the mobile device 20 and transmits the request signal to each mobile device 20 in the system 1. Subsequently, the ID acquisition unit 13 receives a response signal sent from each mobile device 20 in response to the request signal. This response signal includes terminal identification information for identifying the mobile device 20 and a battery ID of a battery attached to the mobile device 20. The ID acquisition unit 13 outputs the received terminal identification information and battery ID to the display instruction unit 14.

  The display instructing unit 14 is a part that instructs the mobile device 20 to which the battery to be collected is attached to display a message for prompting battery replacement. When a set of terminal identification information and battery ID of each mobile device 20 is input, the display instruction unit 14 reads the battery ID to be collected from the battery ID storage unit 11, and displays the input battery ID and the read battery ID. By collating, terminal identification information corresponding to the battery ID to be collected is extracted. As a result, the instruction target mobile device 20 is specified.

  When one or more pieces of identification information are extracted, the display instruction unit 14 prompts the user to replace the battery (for example, data including a message such as “Please replace the battery pack immediately”). Is generated. This message is related to the battery to be collected. Subsequently, the display instruction unit 14 generates a control instruction (hereinafter referred to as “display instruction”) for causing the identified mobile device 20 to display a message. The display instruction includes collation data and message data for collating the battery ID on the mobile device 20 side. The verification data may include only the battery ID corresponding to the terminal identification information of the destination mobile device 20 or may include all the battery IDs read from the battery ID storage unit 11. When the display instruction is generated, the display instruction unit 14 transmits the display instruction to the mobile device 20 in which the battery to be collected is mounted based on the extracted terminal identification information.

  When the display instruction is transmitted, the display instruction unit 14 waits for an execution result corresponding to the instruction to be transmitted from the mobile device 20. Although details of the execution result will be described later, when the received execution result indicates “matching battery ID”, the display instruction unit 14 sets the number of matches in the number storage unit 12 to 1 based on the execution result. Increment only. That is, the display instruction unit 14 increments the number of matches corresponding to the terminal identification information included in the execution result by one. On the other hand, if the received execution result indicates “battery ID mismatch”, the display instruction unit 14 does nothing.

  On the other hand, when the terminal identification information corresponding to the battery ID to be collected is not extracted, the display instruction unit 14 ends the process.

  The charging prohibition instructing unit 15 is a part for instructing prohibition of charging to the mobile device 20 that has displayed the above message for a predetermined number of times. The charge prohibition instructing unit 15 holds a threshold value for determining the number of times in advance. The threshold value may be set arbitrarily, but may be set to 3, 5, for example. The charging prohibition instructing unit 15 refers to information in the number storage unit 12 at a predetermined timing (for example, when receiving an input from an operator at a certain time interval), and extracts terminal identification information whose number of matches is equal to or greater than the threshold value. To do.

  When one or more pieces of identification information are extracted, the charge prohibition instructing unit 15 generates and extracts a control instruction (hereinafter referred to as “charge prohibition instruction”) for making it impossible to charge the battery to be collected. The instruction is transmitted to one or more mobile devices 20 based on the completed terminal control information. This charge prohibition instruction includes collation data (collation battery ID) as with the display instruction. After transmitting the charge prohibition instruction, the charge prohibition instruction unit 15 receives the execution result for the instruction from the mobile device 20 and holds it.

  On the other hand, when the terminal identification information is not extracted, the charging prohibition instructing unit 15 ends the process.

  Next, the mobile device 20 will be described. As shown in FIG. 2, the mobile device 20 includes an ID transmission unit 21, a display processing unit 22, a charging unit 23, and a charging control unit 24 as functional components.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the mobile device 20 includes a CPU 201 that executes an operating system, an application program, and the like, a main storage unit 202 that includes a ROM and a RAM, an auxiliary storage unit 203 that includes a memory, The communication control unit 204 performs data communication, the display unit 205 includes a liquid crystal monitor, and the operation unit 206 includes input keys. Each function of the mobile device 20 shown in FIG. 2 reads a predetermined program on the CPU 201 and the main storage unit 202, operates the communication control unit 204, the display unit 205, and the operation unit 206 under the control of the CPU 201. This is realized by reading or writing data to the main storage unit 202 or the auxiliary storage unit 203.

  Returning to FIG. 2, the ID transmission unit 21 is a part that transmits the battery ID of the battery B attached to the mobile device 20 to the exchange 10. When receiving the request signal sent from the exchange 10, the ID transmission unit 21 reads the battery ID stored in the memory in the battery B. Subsequently, the ID transmission unit 21 generates a response signal including the read battery ID and the terminal identification information of the mobile device 20 and transmits the response signal to the exchange 10.

  The display processing unit 22 is a part that determines whether or not the battery B is a collection target, and displays a message that prompts the user to replace the battery when it is determined that the battery B is a collection target.

  The display processing unit 22 reads the battery ID in the battery B when receiving the display instruction sent from the exchange 10. Subsequently, the display processing unit 22 collates the battery ID with the collation data in the display instruction. At this time, if the battery ID matches the battery ID in the verification data, the display processing unit 22 extracts message data from the display instruction and displays the message data on the display unit 205. In addition, the display processing unit 22 generates an execution result including information indicating “battery ID match” and the terminal identification information of the mobile device 20 and transmits the result to the exchange 10. On the other hand, if the battery ID does not match the battery ID in the verification data, the display processing unit 22 generates an execution result including information indicating “battery ID mismatch” and the terminal identification information of the mobile device 20. The data is transmitted to the exchange 10 and the process is terminated.

  The fact that the message is displayed with the matching battery ID means that the battery to be collected is still attached to the mobile device 20, and the message is not displayed because the battery ID does not match. This means that the battery of the mobile device 20 has been replaced with one to be mounted.

  The charging unit 23 is a part that charges the battery B by supplying the battery B with electricity flowing from a predetermined power source. However, the charging unit 23 does not supply electricity to the battery B after a charging prohibition signal is input from the charging control unit 24 described later.

  The charging control unit 24 is a part that controls the charging unit 23 so that the battery B is not charged when the battery ID of the battery B matches the battery ID in the verification data for a predetermined number of times or more. Here, when the battery IDs coincide with each other more than a predetermined number of times, it means that the battery B is determined to be collected a predetermined number of times or more, and a message for prompting battery replacement is displayed more than a predetermined number of times. It means that it was done.

  The charge control unit 24 reads the battery ID in the battery B when receiving the charge prohibition instruction sent from the exchange 10. Subsequently, the charge control unit 24 collates the battery ID with the collation data in the charge prohibition instruction. At this time, if the battery ID matches the battery ID in the verification data, the charging control unit 24 generates a charging prohibition signal for preventing the charging process from being performed and outputs the signal to the charging unit 23. In addition, the charging control unit 24 writes information (flag) indicating that the battery is a battery to be collected into a memory in the battery B. Further, the charging control unit 24 generates an execution result including information indicating “battery ID match” and the terminal identification information of the mobile device 20 and transmits the result to the exchange 10.

  On the other hand, if the battery ID and the battery ID in the verification data do not match, the charging control unit 24 generates an execution result including information indicating “battery ID mismatch” and the terminal identification information of the mobile device 20, and 10 to finish the process. The fact that the battery IDs do not match means that the battery of the mobile device 20 has been replaced with one to be attached.

  Next, the operation of the battery management system 1 shown in FIG. 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6, and the battery management method according to the present embodiment will be described. In FIGS. 5 and 6, individual mobile devices are identified as mobile devices 20 a and 20 b as necessary for ease of explanation.

  The operation related to message display will be described with reference to FIG. First, the ID acquisition unit 13 of the exchange 10 transmits a request signal to each mobile device 20 in the battery management system 1 (step S11). In response to this, the ID transmission unit 21 of each mobile device 20 transmits the battery ID of the battery B to the exchange 10 as a read response signal (step S12).

  Subsequently, the display instruction unit 14 of the exchange 10 collates the battery ID received from each mobile device 20 with the battery ID read from the battery ID storage unit 11, that is, the mobile device corresponding to the battery ID to be collected, that is, A mobile device to display the message is specified (step S13, including the first acquisition step). Below, it demonstrates on the assumption that only the mobile device 20b was specified by this process. The display instruction unit 14 generates a display instruction including message data for prompting battery replacement and data of the battery ID for verification, and transmits the display instruction to the mobile device 20b (step S14).

  In the mobile device 20b, the display processing unit 22 compares the battery ID read from the battery B with the battery ID (data for verification) extracted from the display instruction (step S15, second acquisition step and determination step), and both batteries An execution result indicating whether or not the IDs match is transmitted to the exchange 10 (step S16). If both battery IDs match (step S17; YES, determination step), the display processing unit 22 extracts and displays message data from the display instruction (step S18, output step). Thereby, the user of the mobile device 20b can know that the battery of the own device is a collection target. In addition, when battery ID does not correspond (step S17; NO, determination step), the display process part 22 complete | finishes a process.

  On the other hand, in the exchange 10, the display instruction unit 14 receives the execution result from the mobile device 20b and determines whether or not the result indicates that the battery IDs match (step S19). At this time, if the execution result indicates that the battery IDs match (step S19; YES), the display instruction unit 14 increments the number of matches of the mobile device 20b by 1 and stores it in the number storage unit 12 (step S20). Otherwise, the process is terminated (step S19; NO).

  The process shown in FIG. 5 is repeatedly executed at predetermined time intervals. Therefore, for example, if the user of the mobile device 20b does not replace the battery, a message prompting replacement is repeatedly displayed, and the number of matches of the mobile device 20b stored in the number storage unit 12 of the switch 10 (message display count). Will increase.

  Next, an operation for prohibiting charging in the mobile device will be described with reference to FIG. First, the charge prohibition instructing unit 15 of the exchange 10 refers to the number storage unit 12 and extracts the mobile device 20 whose number of matches is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold (step S31). If no such mobile device is extracted at this time, the process ends (step S31; NO), but the following description is based on the assumption that the number of matches of the mobile device 20b is equal to or greater than a threshold value. When the mobile device 20b is extracted (step S31; YES), the charge prohibition instruction unit 15 generates a charge prohibition instruction and transmits it to the mobile device 20b (step S32).

  In the mobile device 20b, the charge control unit 24 collates the battery ID of the battery B with the battery ID in the charge prohibition instruction (step S33), and transmits the execution result to the exchange 10 (step S34). If both battery IDs match (step S35; YES), the charging control unit 24 controls the charging unit 23 so that the battery B is not charged (step S36), and a flag indicating that the battery is a collection target battery. Is written in the memory in the battery B (step S37). As a result, the user of the mobile device 20b cannot charge unless the battery is replaced. Further, information indicating that it is a collection target is recorded in the battery B. On the other hand, when two battery ID does not correspond (step S35; NO), the charge control part 24 complete | finishes a process.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the battery ID of the battery B attached to the mobile device 20 is collated with the battery ID of the battery to be collected, and the battery B is to be collected. If determined, a message prompting battery replacement is displayed on the mobile device 20. Therefore, the message can be transmitted to the user who has the battery to be collected more reliably.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, the battery B is no longer charged when the number of times that the battery ID of the battery B matches the battery ID of the battery to be collected (the number of matches) exceeds a predetermined value. It can be strongly encouraged.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, since the battery to be collected is written in the battery B itself, thereafter, the battery B itself can be inspected to determine whether or not it is a collection target. For example, even when the battery B is attached to another mobile device, the mobile device can read the flag in the battery B and determine whether it is a collection target without communicating with the exchange 10.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, before the process of outputting a message and prohibiting charging, the mobile device 20 checks the battery ID and determines whether the process is necessary. It can be prevented in advance. For example, it is possible to prevent malfunction such as a message being displayed or charging being impossible even when the battery B of the mobile device 20 has already been replaced with a normal one.

  In addition, according to the present embodiment, the above process is executed by collating information related to the date of manufacture of the battery and the production line. Therefore, it is possible to narrow down the batteries to be managed and realize fine battery management. Conventionally, only information on the date of manufacture was recorded in the battery. For example, even if a specific line is defective for only one day, it is necessary to recover the battery for one month, resulting in a large recovery cost. It was. On the other hand, according to the present invention, the recovery cost can be greatly reduced and the battery can be efficiently managed (recovered).

  The present invention has been described in detail based on the embodiments. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. The present invention can be variously modified without departing from the gist thereof.

  In the above-described embodiment, the battery management system 1 executes the process related to the battery to be collected. However, the battery to be managed is not limited to the battery to be collected, and for example, a non-genuine battery may be the management target.

  In the above-described embodiment, the mobile device 20 displays a message for prompting battery replacement, but the method for outputting a battery-related message is not limited to this. For example, the mobile device 20 may output the message by voice, or may output a combination of both the screen and the voice.

  In the above embodiment, the charging control unit 24 executes the charging prohibition process and the flag writing to the battery. However, the charging control unit may execute only the charging prohibition process. Further, the charge prohibition process may not be performed, and in that case, components corresponding to the number storage unit 12, the charge prohibition instruction unit 15, and the charge control unit 24 in the above embodiment can be omitted.

  The configuration of the battery ID is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, instead of the date of manufacture, the date of manufacture may be included in the ID as in the past.

  In the above embodiment, the battery ID is collated on the mobile device 20 side (the display processing unit 22 and the charging control unit 24), but this collation process may be performed on the server side (for example, the exchange 10). For example, in the above embodiment, the display instruction unit 14 collates the battery ID and identifies the mobile device that is the transmission destination of the display instruction. However, this identification process may also serve as the collation process in the display processing unit 22. . In this case, when receiving the display instruction, the display processing unit 22 displays a message unconditionally. In addition, the charging prohibition instructing unit 15 requests the mobile device 20 for a battery ID, and compares the battery ID sent in response to the request with the battery ID in the battery ID storage unit 11 to determine whether charging is prohibited. You may judge. In this case, when receiving the charge prohibition instruction, the charge control unit 24 unconditionally executes the charge prohibition process and the flag writing.

  In the above embodiment, the exchange 10 serves as a server. However, a communication device or a computer other than the exchange may have the server function of the present invention.
