Korea is already making efforts to reduce carbon emissions in the transportation sector by 13% by expanding the supply of electric vehicles.

As interest in electric vehicles increases, and supply and demand increase accordingly, the demand for electric vehicle charging stations is also increasing. However, the number of EV charging stations actually installed is not keeping up with the growing demand for EVs. In addition, since it takes a long time to charge an electric vehicle once, even when it arrives at a charging station, it cannot be charged immediately due to vehicles already being charged, and has to wait for a long time. In addition, it is often the case that the vehicle is parked even when it is not being charged at an electric vehicle charging station. The majority of complaints from local governments about electric vehicle charging stations are these. In addition, there are no electric vehicle charging stations nearby, so it is necessary to drive a long distance to the charging station, and drivers must always keep in mind the amount of charging.

Referring to FIG. 1, a system (hereinafter referred to as a 'system') for matching an electric vehicle charger supplier and a consumer based on artificial intelligence and GIS includes a server 100, supplier terminals 200-1, 200-2, .. ., 200-N) and consumer terminals (300-1, 300-2, ..., 300-N). The server 100, the provider terminals (200-1, 200-2, ..., 200-N) and the consumer terminals (300-1, 300-2, ..., 300-N) can be connected through a wired or wireless network. have. A wired/wireless network refers to a connection structure capable of exchanging information between nodes, and examples of such networks include the Internet, a local area network (LAN), a wireless local area network (LAN), and a wide area (WAN) network. network), personal area network (PAN), 3G, 4G, 5G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, RFID, home network, etc., but are not limited thereto.

The system 10 according to an embodiment may match a supplier who can provide charging for an electric vehicle with a consumer who needs charging for an electric vehicle. When matching is established, the supplier may provide charging for the electric vehicle to the consumer.

Specifically, in the charging of electric vehicles, the supplier who owns the mobile electric vehicle charger moves to the place where the electric vehicle owned by the consumer is located, and the supplier can charge the consumer's electric vehicle with the mobile electric vehicle charger. Such electric vehicle charging is requested by consumers - such as vehicle information, vehicle charging type, charging amount, place (region), time, price - and supplier's request - such as charging type, charging amount, location (region) of the charger. .

A plurality of suppliers and a plurality of consumers may be registered in the matching service provided by the system 10 . The plurality of providers may use the matching service by operating the provider terminals 200-1, 200-2, ..., 200-N, respectively. A plurality of consumers may use the matching service by operating the consumer terminals 300-1, 300-2, ..., 300-N, respectively. A plurality of suppliers and a plurality of consumers may download an application and install it in their terminal in order to use the matching service. Provider terminals (200-1, 200-2, ..., 200-N) and consumer terminals (300-1, 300-2, ..., 300-N) receive or transmit data through the network, The data may be output to consumers or suppliers, and may include various devices such as smartphones, mobile phones, tablet PCs, desktops, and laptops, but is not limited thereto.

Referring to FIG. 2 , a flow of a method in which the system 10 matches an electric vehicle charger supplier and a consumer based on artificial intelligence and GIS may be shown. Hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, it will be described that one supplier and one consumer use a matching service for electric vehicle charging.

The server 100 may generate a matching service for matching the supplier and the consumer, and provide the matching service to the supplier terminal 200 and the consumer terminal 300 (step S201). When the supplier terminal 200 and the consumer terminal 300 execute an application for matching according to an embodiment, a matching service may be output to the supplier and the consumer. Then, the supplier and the consumer can input information necessary for matching and receive a result according to the input.

The supplier terminal 200 may receive supplier information from the supplier and transmit it to the server 100 , and the server 100 may receive supplier information from the supplier terminal 200 (step S203 ). Supplier information is information on electric vehicle charging that can be provided by the supplier, and may include charger information owned by the supplier, time and location information that can provide electric vehicle charging, price information, and the like. For example, the supplier information may include a charging type, charging amount, location, time or price of the charger.

The consumer terminal 300 may receive a search condition input from the consumer (step S205). The consumer terminal 300 transmits consumer information including the search condition to the server 100, and the server 100 may receive the consumer information from the consumer terminal 300 (step S207). When the consumer terminal 300 receives the matching service and outputs it to the consumer, the consumer may input a search condition for searching for a supplier registered in the matching service. Here, the matching service may be provided to the consumer including the supplier information received from the supplier. When a supplier that meets the search conditions is found, the consumer may input consumer information as specific information for electric vehicle charging provided to the found supplier.

Consumer information is information about electric vehicle charging that the consumer can provide, and may include vehicle information owned by the consumer, time and location information for receiving electric vehicle charging, price information, and the like. For example, the consumer information may include vehicle (electric vehicle) information, vehicle (electric vehicle) charging type, charging amount, location, time, or price. On the other hand, the search condition can be understood as information filtering the candidate group entered by the consumer before formally proposing to the supplier. Accordingly, the search condition may include some or all of the consumer information. The consumer may input consumer information including complete requests to some suppliers searched for by the search condition through the consumer terminal 300 . The consumer terminal 300 may transmit consumer information to the server 100 .

The server 100 may match the supplier and the consumer based on the supplier information and the consumer information (step S209). If the server 100 corresponds to at least one of the charging type, charging amount, place, time, and price of the charger in the supplier information, and at least one of the vehicle information, the charging type of the vehicle, the charging amount, the place, the time, and the price in the consumer information, You can match suppliers and consumers.

The server 100 may generate matching information as a result of matching and transmit the matching information to the provider terminal 200 (step S211).

The provider terminal 200 may receive the matching information, generate matching acceptance information for accepting the matching in response to the matching information, and transmit it to the server 100 to the server 100 (step S213). After recognizing the content included in the matching information, the supplier may input matching acceptance information to the effect of providing electric vehicle charging to the consumer into the supplier terminal 200 . If the supplier refuses to match, matching rejection information to the effect that the provision of electric vehicle charging to the consumer is rejected may be input to the supplier terminal 200 .

When the server 100 receives the matching acceptance information from the provider terminal 200, the server 100 may complete the matching and generate matching completion information indicating the establishment of the matching (step S215).

The server 100 transmits the matching completed information to the supplier terminal 200 and the consumer terminal 300, but transmits the supplier matching information to the supplier terminal 200 and the consumer terminal 300 to the consumer terminal 300. It can be transmitted (step S217). Here, the matching completed information for suppliers is the matching completed information specific to the supplier created based on the consumer information, and includes not only the consumer information itself, but also the place or location, distance, movement route, reservation, list of consumers who requested electric vehicle charging, etc. may include

Matching completion information for consumers is customized matching information created based on supplier information. It includes not only the supplier information itself, but also the supplier’s vehicle information-vehicle information-, distance, the supplier’s moving route and current location, reservation, etc. may include

Returning to FIG. 1 , if the supplier and the consumer match, the supplier may move to the consumer's location and provide charging to the consumer's vehicle. In this process, the supplier may exchange data or information for communication through the supplier terminal 200 and the consumer via the consumer terminal 300 . For example, a supplier can communicate with a consumer through messenger.

When the electric vehicle charging is completed, the consumer may pay through the consumer terminal 300 according to the amount of charge and/or the price. The consumer can register the card through the matching service and pay the supplier through the card.

3 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of a server according to an embodiment, and FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating an operation of a server according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 3 , a configuration of a server may be illustrated. The server 100 may include a communication unit 110 , a service providing unit 120 , a data analysis unit 130 , and an artificial intelligence analysis unit 140 .

The communication unit 110 may exchange data or information with a supplier terminal and a consumer terminal. The communication unit 110 may receive supplier information from a supplier terminal, and may receive consumer information including a search condition from the consumer terminal.

The service providing unit 120 may match the supplier and the consumer and provide a matching service for this to the supplier and the consumer. The service providing unit 120 may provide a matching service so that a consumer can input a search condition and search for the provider. The matching service can provide the supplier information to the consumer and at the same time provide the consumer information to the supplier.

The service providing unit 120 may match the supplier and the consumer based on the supplier information and the consumer information, and through the communication unit 110 , may generate matching information as a result of the matching and transmit it to the supplier terminal. Also, the service providing unit 120 may receive matching acceptance information for accepting matching from the provider terminal through the communication unit 110 . Also, the service providing unit 120 may transmit matching completion information indicating the establishment of matching to the supplier terminal and the consumer terminal through the communication unit 110 . Here, the service providing unit 120 may transmit the matching completed information for the consumer generated based on the supplier information to the consumer terminal, and may transmit the matching completed information for the supplier generated based on the consumer information to the supplier terminal.

Specifically, referring to FIG. 4 , the service providing unit 120 may receive provider information from a provider terminal (step S401 ).

The service providing unit 120 may receive the search condition input by the consumer through the consumer terminal, and transmit supplier information to the consumer terminal in consideration of the search condition (step S403). The service providing unit 120 may search for supplier information corresponding to at least one of the search conditions, and transmit the searched supplier information to the consumer terminal.

The service providing unit 120 may receive consumer information from the consumer terminal (step S405).

The service providing unit 120 may transmit consumer information to the provider terminal (step S407). Here, after the consumer enters a search condition to search for potential suppliers and confirms supplier information on the searched suppliers, the consumer can select a supplier to request electric vehicle charging through the consumer terminal. Therefore, consumer information can be provided only to a few suppliers who have been requested to charge electric vehicles. In addition, since the supplier may receive a request for electric vehicle charging from a plurality of consumers, the service providing unit 120 may transmit a plurality of consumer information to the supplier terminal. Then, the supplier can check the list of consumers who are currently requesting electric vehicle charging through the supplier terminal and information about the consumers.

The service providing unit 120 may match the supplier and the consumer based on the supplier information and the consumer information (step S409). The service providing unit 120 may generate matching information as a result of matching. At least one of consumer information-for example, vehicle information, vehicle charging type, charging amount, place, time, price- matches at least one of supplier information-for example, charging type, charging amount, place, time, price of the charger If so, the service providing unit 120 may match the corresponding supplier and consumer. Alternatively, when the consumer information matches all of the supplier information, the service providing unit 120 may match the corresponding supplier and the consumer.

Then, the service providing unit 120 may transmit the matching information to the provider terminal and receive matching acceptance information or matching rejection information from the provider terminal. When the service providing unit 120 receives the matching acceptance information, the matching may be established and matching completion information indicating completion of the establishment may be generated. The service providing unit 120 may end the matching by providing the matching completion information to the provider terminal and the consumer terminal.

And the service providing unit 120 may store and manage the matching details - including matching complete information, matching acceptance information, and matching rejection information (step S411). In addition to the matching details, the service providing unit 120 may store and manage payment details and reservation details—including consumer reservation information when the consumer makes a reservation for electric vehicle charging.

The artificial intelligence analysis unit 140 may perform optimal matching by learning managed data, such as matching details, payment details, or reservation details, to the prediction model (step S413). For example, the artificial intelligence analysis unit 140 may extract past matching completed information, past supplier information and past consumer information constituting past matching completed information, and learn it in a predictive model. The learned predictive model can derive the optimal supplier with the highest probability of matching with a specific consumer.

For example, when a consumer inputs a search condition, the learned prediction model may search for a supplier having the highest probability of matching the search condition with the consumer information of the corresponding consumer. Alternatively, when the consumer intends to send consumer information to a specific supplier from among the found suppliers, the learned prediction model may output a supplier having supplier information that is most likely to match the consumer information of the corresponding consumer. The optimal supplier information output by the artificial intelligence analysis unit 140 through the learned prediction model is transmitted to the service providing unit 120, and the service providing unit 120 responds to the consumer corresponding to the corresponding consumer information corresponding to the optimal supplier information. You can match with the best supplier. The service providing unit 120 may generate matching information as a result of matching and transmit it to an optimal provider.

Referring back to FIG. 3 , the artificial intelligence analysis unit 140 may output demand forecast information by learning managed data, such as matching details, payment details, or reservation details, in the prediction model. The demand forecasting report may include information on a time or place where consumer information most frequently occurs. Without being limited thereto, the demand forecasting information may include items related to supplier information or consumer information. The artificial intelligence analysis unit 140 may also derive information on the vehicle in which charging of the electric vehicle occurs most frequently, the type of vehicle charging, the amount of charge, or the demand prediction information for the price through the prediction model.

For example, the artificial intelligence analysis unit 140 may extract past matching completed information, past supplier information and past consumer information constituting past matching completed information, and learn it in a predictive model. The learned predictive model can output the time or place where the request for electric vehicle charging by the consumer occurs most frequently. The demand forecasting information output by the artificial intelligence analysis unit 140 through the learned prediction model is transmitted to the service providing unit 120 , and the service providing unit 120 may transmit the demand forecasting information to the provider terminal.

Then, the supplier can use the matching service by referring to the time or place where requests for electric vehicle charging are frequent. Providers can provide services intensively during high-demand times, or serve more consumers while waiting around places with high requests.

Also, the service providing unit 120 may receive reception setting information from the provider terminal. In order that the supplier does not accept a request for electric vehicle charging by a consumer who does not satisfy a specific condition, the supplier may input reception setting information for removing the specific consumer to the supplier terminal. The reception setting information may filter a request of a specific consumer based on vehicle information, vehicle charging type, charging amount, location, time, price, and the like.

For example, if a specific time zone or a specific region is defined in the reception setting information, the service providing unit 120 may reject the request of the consumer who came from the time zone or the region and may not match the provider. Alternatively, when the consumer initially searches for a supplier by entering a search condition, the supplier who has sent the reception setting information may not be exposed to the consumer.

Conversely, the service providing unit 120 may receive reception setting information from the provider terminal. In order for the supplier to accept only a request for electric vehicle charging by a consumer who satisfies a specific condition, the supplier may input reception setting information for selecting a specific consumer into the supplier terminal. The service providing unit 120 may extract consumer information that satisfies a certain condition included in the reception setting information, and match the supplier and the consumer based on the supplier information and the extracted consumer information.

When one supplier matches a plurality of consumers, the data analysis unit 130 may generate a plurality of movement paths from the location of one supplier to the location of each consumer. For example, the first supplier may be matched to the first consumer and the second consumer to charge the electric vehicle at different times and places. Then, the data analysis unit 130 calculates the first movement path from the current location of the first supplier to the place designated by the first consumer, and the second movement route from the current location of the first supplier to the place designated by the second consumer, Each can be created. The data analysis unit 130 may transmit information on the first and second movement paths to the service providing unit 120 . The service providing unit 120 may include the information on the first and second movement paths in the matching complete information for the provider and provide the information to the provider terminal. The information on the movement route is not provided to the consumer terminal, but for the convenience of the supplier, so it can be provided only to the supplier terminal.

Furthermore, when a supplier matches a plurality of consumers who request electric vehicle charging differently for each time period, the data analysis unit 130 performs a single movement path starting from the location of one supplier and passing through the locations of the plurality of consumers by time period. can create For example, in the above-described example, the data analysis unit 130 may generate a single movement path from the current location of the first provider to the location of the second provider via the location of the first provider. Here, the data analysis unit 130 may consider the times designated by the first and second consumers, and a single movement path may pass through the consumer who has designated an early time first, and may sequentially pass through the consumer who has designated a late time.

The server 100 may be linked with the database DB to search for data or information required for matching or learning. The database DB may store consumer information, supplier information, consumer reservation information, reception setting information, matching information, matching acceptance information, matching rejection information, matching completion information and/or payment information.

In addition, the server 100 may be connected to a GIS server (not shown) and a GIS database (not shown) that provide a geographic information system (GIS) service. The data analysis unit 130 of the server 100 receives the GIS information from the GIS server (not shown) and the GIS database (not shown), and provides the moving route combined with the GIS information to the supplier and the consumer through a matching service. can The data analysis unit 130 may perform spatial analysis or statistical analysis on GIS data as necessary. The GIS server is an open source-based geoserver, and the GIS database can use the open source-based PostgreSQL DBMS and PosGIS.

The provider terminal 200 may include a processor 210 , a memory 220 , a communication interface unit 230 , and a user interface unit 240 . However, not all illustrated components are essential components. The provider terminal 200 may be implemented by more components than the illustrated components, and the provider terminal 200 may be implemented by fewer components than that. Hereinafter, the components will be described.

The communication interface unit 230 may communicate with an external device. Specifically, the communication interface unit 230 may be connected to a network by wire or wirelessly to communicate with an external device. Here, the external device may be a server, a smart phone, a tablet, a PC, or the like. The communication interface unit 230 may include a communication module supporting one of various wired and wireless communication methods.

The processor 210 may control the user interface unit 240 to generate and output a user interface screen for receiving a predetermined command or data from the user. For example, the user interface unit 240 may include devices capable of receiving a user input, such as a touch screen.

The memory 220 may store software or a program. The memory 220 may store an application for performing a method of matching an electric vehicle charger supplier and a consumer based on artificial intelligence and GIS. In addition, at least one command or at least one program for operating the provider terminal 200 according to an application may be stored in the memory 220 .

The processor 210 may control the overall operation of the provider terminal 200 . The processor 210 may include at least one specialized processor corresponding to each function or may be an integrated processor.

The processor 210 may execute a program stored in the memory 220 , read data or a file stored in the memory 220 , or store new data or a new file in the memory 220 . The processor 210 may execute instructions stored in the memory 220 .

When the application is executed, the processor 210 may control other components so that an operation of the application may be performed based on a command obtained from the application or a user input. Hereinafter, an operation executed in the application may be understood to be executed by the processor 210 .

Referring to FIG. 6 , the application in the provider terminal 200 may receive a matching service (step S601 ). The application of the supplier terminal 200 may receive supplier information from the supplier through a matching service (step S603). The supplier can input supplier information through the matching service. Then, the consumer may search for a supplier through the matching service, check the input supplier information, and transmit consumer information for requesting electric vehicle charging to the server.

And the application of the provider terminal 200 may receive reception setting information from the provider and perform reception setting in response thereto (step S605). The application of the supplier terminal 200 may show only consumers who satisfy the reception setting among consumers who have requested electric vehicle charging from the supplier. Alternatively, the server receiving the reception setting information may match the corresponding supplier only with consumers who satisfy the reception settings, or exclude the consumers who satisfy the reception settings from matching.

When the supplier and the consumer match, the application of the supplier terminal 200 may receive and check the matching information from the server (step S607). The matching information includes consumer information, and the application of the supplier terminal 200 may output consumer information to the supplier.

When the supplier accepts the matching, the application of the supplier terminal 200 may generate and transmit the matching acceptance information to the server (step S611).

The server may finally establish a match and generate matching completion information for this. The server may transmit the supplier matching completion information for the supplier to the supplier terminal 200 . The application of the supplier terminal 200 may receive the route information - the movement route between the supplier and the consumer - included in the matching complete information for the supplier (step S613).

On the other hand, in order to check whether the reservation of the consumer, the application of the supplier terminal 200 may receive the matching information and check the reservation information of the consumer (step S609). When the consumer has reserved electric vehicle charging, the supplier can create and transmit matching acceptance information only after confirming the consumer reservation information.

The configuration of the consumer terminal 300 is the same as that of the supplier terminal, but may perform a different function in a method of matching the electric vehicle charger supplier and the consumer based on artificial intelligence and GIS. Hereinafter, these differences will be mainly described.

The processor 310 may execute an application that provides a service for matching an electric vehicle charger supplier and a consumer based on artificial intelligence and GIS in the consumer terminal 300 . When the application is executed, the processor 310 may control other components so that an operation of the application may be performed based on a command obtained from the application or a user input. Hereinafter, an operation executed in the application may be understood to be executed by the processor 310 .

Referring to FIG. 9 , the application in the consumer terminal 300 may receive a matching service (step S901 ). The application of the consumer terminal 300 may receive a search condition input from the consumer through a matching service (step S903). The server searches for a supplier corresponding to the search condition, and the application of the consumer terminal 300 may receive the searched supplier information and provide it to the consumer through a matching service.

The consumer can select a desired supplier from among the searched suppliers. The application of the consumer terminal 300 may transmit consumer information including the search condition to the server (step S905). Alternatively, when the consumer wants to be provided with electric vehicle charging at a specific time or place, the application of the consumer terminal 300 may receive consumer reservation information (step S907). The consumer terminal 300 may include the consumer reservation information in the consumer information and transmit it to the server.

When the supplier and the consumer match, the application of the consumer terminal 300 may receive and confirm the matching completion information from the server (step S909). When the server receives the consumer information, it can send to the supplier terminal to receive the matching acceptance information and establish the matching. The server may generate matching completion information and send it to the provider terminal.
