On the other hand, the electric power vehicle emergency charging service system according to an embodiment of the present invention may further include a user terminal 500 that is linked with the server 200 through the application 510 to transmit a charging matching request.

That is, in the electric powered vehicle emergency charging service system according to an embodiment of the present invention, the emergency rescue vehicle 300 is matched according to the measured remaining battery amount of the vehicle information terminal 110 or the charging matching request of the user terminal 500 is performed. By this, the emergency rescue vehicle 300 may be matched.

Here, the matching according to the charging matching request of the user terminal 500 may further include transmitting the locations of nearby electric charging stations in addition to matching for the emergency rescue vehicle 300 . In addition, matching according to the charging matching request of the user terminal 500 may be possible to select the emergency rescue vehicle (300).

For example, the selection of the emergency rescue vehicle 300 may be a selection of whether to use a tow vehicle 310 equipped with a battery charging device or another electric powered vehicle 320 . In addition, the selection of the emergency rescue vehicle 300 may be a detailed selection such as the order of proximity, the order of the largest charging capacity, the order of the lowest charging price, and the like.

That is, when the charging matching request is transmitted to the server 200 through the user terminal 500, it is determined whether to charge or tow, or to know the location of the electric charging station, and an emergency rescue vehicle to be used in the case of charging or towing. You can select for 300 and transmit a charging matching request, and the server 200 is a tow truck 310 or other electric powered vehicle 320 equipped with a battery charging device according to the charging matching request of the user terminal 500 . may be matched according to a detailed selection, or the locations of nearby electric charging stations may be transmitted to the user terminal 500 .

The user terminal 500 may be linked with the server 200 through an application 510 including a vehicle management module 511 , a matching request module 512 , and a payment module 513 .

Here, the vehicle management module 511 may be a module that can check driving information, remaining battery information, etc. recorded by the vehicle information terminal 110 of the electric powered vehicle, and the matching request module 512 is the It may be a module capable of transmitting a charge matching request to the matching unit 230 , and the payment module 513 may be a module capable of performing a payment according to matching in conjunction with the payment unit 240 of the server 200 .

In addition, in the electric power vehicle emergency charging service system according to an embodiment of the present invention, the server 200 may further include an environment conservation benefit unit 250 and a distance calculator 260 as described above.

Specifically, the environment conservation benefit unit 250 may calculate the amount of environmental conservation due to electric driving compared to the use of oil of the electric power vehicle 100 . In addition, the environmental conservation benefit unit 250 may convert the calculated amount of environmental conservation into mileage.

Here, the converted mileage may be credited to the electric power vehicle 100 through the payment unit 240 so that the electric power vehicle 100 can be used later when the emergency rescue vehicle 300 is matched.

Through this, it is possible to encourage the use of the electric-powered vehicle, and it is possible to alleviate the economic burden of the driver of the electric-powered vehicle.

The distance calculator 260 may calculate a distance from an emergency rescue vehicle or an electric charging station that matches the electric powered vehicle that has transmitted the emergency rescue signal.

In addition, the distance calculating unit 260 may transmit the calculated distance to the electric power vehicle 100 to be confirmed. In this case, preferably, an LED (not shown) capable of emitting a plurality of color lights to the electric powered vehicle 100 . time), the LED may be interlocked with the distance calculator 260 to sequentially emit a plurality of color lights according to the distance to the emergency rescue vehicle or electric charging station derived from the distance calculator 260 .

For example, assuming that the LED mounted on the electric power vehicle 100 is an LED capable of displaying red-blue-green, the distance calculator 260 of the server 200 is matched with an emergency rescue vehicle or an electric charging station. When the distance exceeds 15 km, the LED emits red, when within 5 km to 15 km, in blue, and within 5 km, in green, so that the state can be easily observed with the naked eye.

Through this, the driver of the electric power vehicle 100 may not pay attention to searching for an emergency rescue vehicle or an electric charging station one by one, so that the driver of the electric power vehicle 100 may exhibit the effect of concentrating only on driving even when charging is urgent.

Furthermore, LEDs can be installed both inside and outside the electric-powered vehicle. When installed outside, other drivers can easily check the status of the electric-powered vehicle and easily find an electric-powered vehicle to charge. possible effects can be shown.

In addition, in the electric powered vehicle emergency charging service system according to an embodiment of the present invention, when the vehicle information terminal 110 measures the remaining battery below a set reference value, the remaining battery is left on a connected control board (not shown) for controlling the vehicle. By transmitting battery information, the control board may automatically convert to a power saving mode that limits the driving speed of the electric powered vehicle 100 .

That is, the present invention can enable driving for a relatively long time by forcibly limiting the speed of the electric power vehicle 100 to drive most efficiently when the remaining battery is low, and in addition, the driver of the electric power vehicle 100 can may be made aware of.

Also, the vehicle information terminal 110 may further include a driving place determining unit 114 .

The driving place determining unit 114 may determine whether the driving place of the electric powered vehicle 100 corresponds to a highway, a general road, or a mountain road, and a connected control that controls the vehicle with the determined driving place information along with the remaining battery information It may be transmitted to the substrate to vary the driving speed limit of the electric power vehicle 100 according to driving place information.

Through this, when it is determined that the vehicle is driving on a highway, the speed limit can be adjusted to the highway standard, and when it is determined that the vehicle is driving on a general road or a mountain road, the speed can be limited by matching the speed limit to the general road or mountain road.

Here, the driving place determining unit 114 can determine the driving place as a highway or a general road through the average driving speed, and the classification of the general road and the mountain road is based on the average inclination or rotation amount of the vehicle along with the driving speed. can be calculated on the basis of

To this end, the electric power vehicle 100 may be equipped with a gyro sensor or the like, or a rotation amount sensor may be mounted on the rack-pinion portion of the vehicle handle.

However, the above-described determination of the driving place is a preferred example, and is not necessarily limited thereto, and other determination or calculation methods may be applied.

Through the above configurations, the electric-powered vehicle emergency charging service system according to an embodiment of the present invention allows the electric-powered vehicle 100 to travel as safely and efficiently as possible, but easily when emergency charging is required. Emergency charging or towing can be made.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings, those of ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention pertains can practice the present invention in other specific forms without changing the technical spirit or essential features of the present invention. you will be able to understand Accordingly, the embodiments described above are illustrative in all respects and not restrictive.
