The present invention relates to a method and a system for calculating a fuel economy of a vehicle and providing the same to a driver from fueling information data generated after filling at a gas station and driving distance data input to a driver terminal or a server terminal.

The driving fuel economy of the vehicle is significant as an economic and safety index for the driver, such as its role as an indicator of anomalies of the vehicle and raising the driver's awareness of fuel saving.

For the general public, fuel economy is only perceived vaguely, and the actual fuel economy of each vehicle is mostly ambiguous. In order to calculate the fuel efficiency of a vehicle, a driver usually needs to fill the fuel tank of the vehicle with a full fuel tank, operate the vehicle the next time, and then refill the vehicle so that the distance traveled for that distance, that is, the next time. There is a method of dividing by the oil supply when full fueling, and by installing a separate electronic equipment to measure the fuel consumption rate inside the engine. However, the former method needs to record the mileage or reset the mileage button every time it is full, so it is cumbersome and misses the record. In the latter case, the economic burden is caused by expensive equipment purchase. It is becoming. Therefore, a method of easily measuring the fuel economy of a vehicle without any equipment is continuously required along with the persistence of high oil prices.

The present invention includes a technical configuration that accurately calculates the flow rate required in the corresponding driving section of the vehicle and minimizes the error in order to solve the above problems, and the driver can directly and conveniently use the terminal mounted on the vehicle It adds emotion and calculates and provides the fuel efficiency of the car without expensive equipment.

Means of transmitting a POS system and wired and wireless VAN terminal, the driver terminal, A means for transmitting an electronic terminal unique ID and mileage data, comprising a mobile phone and a portable internet terminal carried by a member, wherein the fueling information data includes a fueling amount, a fueling date and time, a fueling amount, and a fueling method value. The lubrication information data filtering of the controller is a control for selecting the lubrication information data of which the fueling mode value is the full lubrication value, and the predetermined mileage data filtering is a reception time and a driver terminal transmission time and the lubrication of the received mileage data. It is characterized in that the control for selecting the fueling information data in which the difference in the oil supply time of the information data is within a predetermined allowable time range.

As a technical configuration for achieving the above object, a server terminal provided in at least one gas station for managing fueling results of at least one driver according to the present invention, and a driver terminal maintained by a member who manages the fueling results from the gas station, The system for providing fuel economy for automobiles coupled through a communication network is assigned to each member and is filled with a member information database that maintains a member field for recording predetermined fueling information data and mileage data, and the fuel supply method is compared.

In the present invention, the main server 100 may be a server that performs member management by combining several gas stations, or may be a server operated by a single gas station.

FIG. 4A illustrates a process of generating fueling information data at a general gas station and an entire process of transferring the fueling information data to the main server, and FIG. 4B specifically illustrates the generation of fueling data from the gasoline to the POS. As shown, the process of generating and transmitting data is very similar in spite of the difference between the lubricator makers.

Before starting to refuel in a normal vehicle, the gas sales clerk sets a suitable oil supply method in the oil tanker 110 after receiving a request for a desired oil supply amount from the driver (S410). The setting of the oil supply method means that the oil supply amount is set in advance before supplying the fuel to 30,000 won, 50,000 won, 10 liters, 20 liters, etc. by operating the function button of the corresponding oil supply in advance. Although the oil supply method is a variety of lubricator manufacturers, semen oil supply (S415), such as 30,000 won, 50,000 won units, and quantitative oil supply (S416), such as 10 liters, 20 liters, and U. (Iii) It is distinguished in three ways, such as setting oil supply (S414). In the case of refueling in the unset setting state (S414), when the fuel tank is filled with the fuel tank of the vehicle, when the fuel tank is full, the nozzle sensor at the end of the oil dispenser is operated so that the oil supply is automatically stopped. have.

When the fueling is completed (S419), the fueling information data including the number, fueling amount, fueling amount of the fueling machine is transmitted from the fueling machine 110 to the point of sales (POS) system of the gas station, and the driver pays the fueling price. In this case, if the driver is a member of an oil refinery or a gas station, the driver will present a gas membership card with payment. A member card is a medium storing a member ID. There are various examples, such as a magnetic card, a smart card type, an in-vehicle RF tag type, and a mobile phone built-in type. The POS system of the gas station adds the member ID information of the member card to the refueling data transmitted from the gasoline machine to perform the member's fueling performance management. Send information data. Depending on the needs of the system operator and the environment of the gas station, the fueling information data can be transmitted directly from the gas station POS system to the main server 100 and via a terminal that mediates the transmission, such as a CAT terminal (Credit Authogorization Terminal). May be transmitted to the main server 100.

CAT terminals are typically VAN terminals that accept credit card payments, and are classified into interlocking CAT terminals and non-interlocking CAT terminals according to whether or not data is compatible with the POS system. The linked CAT terminal is a CAT terminal that transmits oiling information data received at the POS system to the main server 100 and transmits a data processing response result of the main server 100 to the POS system. If the non-interlocking CAT terminal is unable to transmit the fueling information data received at the POS system to the main server 100 due to a protocol mismatch between the POS system and the main server 100, the non-interlocking CAT terminal manually transmits the oiling information data. The terminal configured to receive the input (S452) and transmit to the main server (100). In other words, the non-linked CAT terminal, even if the inputter recognizes the driver's fueling member ID and inputs only the oil type and fueling amount (S452), the unit price, time, store code, etc. Since the information is added to the main server 100 and transmitted together, the lubrication information data transmitted from the non-interlocked CAT terminal to the main server 100 is the same as that of the linked CAT terminal. It includes fueling information such as fueling amount, fueling amount, oiling date and time. On the other hand, the processing flow of the fueling information data transmitted from the CAT terminal directly or via the POS to the main server performing member management is known to those skilled in the art as shown in FIG. 4C.

Another means for transmitting the fueling information data generated in the lubricator to the main server 100 may be an ODT terminal (Out Door Terminal). The ODT terminal is attached to the lubricator or integrated with the lubricator and is configured to transmit the lubrication information data to the main server 100 by adding the recognition of the lubrication member ID to the lubrication data generated in the lubricator.

In the present invention, the server terminal 120 is a means for transmitting the fueling information data generated at the gas station to the main server 100, may be a POS system, a wired CAT terminal, a mobile wireless CAT terminal, ODT terminal, which will be described later In the case of data exchange in the form of wired / wireless communication with the driver terminal, RF (Radio frequeancy), IrDA (Infrared Data Association), ZigBee, WLAN and Bluetooth-based terminal is characterized in that it includes. The protocol of the refueling information data received by the main server 100 from the server terminal 120 is specifically, when the server terminal 120 is a POS system, a CAT terminal, or an ODT terminal, specifically, RS-232C and TCP / IP protocols. It may be a protocol that includes, in the case of wireless communication such as RF terminal follows the corresponding protocol.

In the present invention, the driver terminal 130 receives the request for input of the mileage data from the main server 100 or the server terminal 120 and the terminal for communication and transmits the mileage data and the unique ID and receives the fuel economy value. ) Is carried by a member or mounted in a car, such as a personal mobile phone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a portable Internet terminal, a vehicle computer for recording vehicle driving information and transmitting information. PC, CNS (Car Navigation System) terminal, characterized in that the wireless transmission and reception terminal and a dedicated terminal using RF communication. The membership card may further include an IC chip and a flash memory capable of recording and storing mileage data and memory.

The form of the data that the main server 100 requests and receives the driving distance data from the driver terminal 130 is specifically, when the driver terminal 130 is a personal mobile phone, a PDA, and a portable Internet terminal that the driver can carry. (Short Message Service), ARS (Automatic Response Service), or WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) -based messenger and e-mail, and in the case of a vehicle equipped terminal follows the corresponding communication protocol. .

In the present invention, the server terminal 120 or the driver terminal 130 and the data transmission means 140,150 between the main server 100, the public Internet network, satellite network, mobile communication network, VAN, RF, IrDA, wireless LAN, etc. It includes known wired and wireless communication networks.

Hereinafter, a method of providing vehicle fuel economy according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

First, the processing flow of the lubrication information data transmitted from the server terminal 120 to the main server 100 will be described with reference to FIG. 1B, FIG. 3, and FIG. 5A.

First, the main server 100 maintains a member field for recording oiling information data and driving distance data (S501).

When the fueling information data including the member ID, the fueling amount, the fueling date and time, and the server terminal ID of the driver is received from the server terminal 120 of the gas station described above (S510), the main server 100 is included in the fueling information data. The member information database 220 is searched using the member ID 211 as a keyword (S520) to extract the fueling information data field of the corresponding member (S530), and the fueling information data is stored in the data field of the member (S540).

The fueling information data according to the present invention is characterized in that the fueling data value 233 is further included in the fueling data composed of a conventional oiling quantity, oiling date and time, server terminal ID, and the like, and a predetermined oiling information data filtering is applied. . As described above, the oil supply mode value 233 is a value including a state in which the oil supply in the lubricator is a fixed oil supply setting, a fixed amount oil supply setting, and a fine tinting, and is configured to select the oil supply information data filled up. After receiving the oiling information data, the main server 100 according to the present invention receives oiling information data other than oiling information data having a refueling mode value 233 included in the oiling information data or a fixed oil value. Take oiling information data filtering (S325).

In general, the method of calculating the fuel efficiency of a vehicle can be calculated by dividing the driving distance traveled by the vehicle by the flow rate required for the operation of the section. This can be done by measuring the fuel flow rate when the fuel is full again after driving. Therefore, the fuel consumption of the vehicle according to the present invention can be accurately provided only when the gas station is filled with gas, and when the fueling method value 233 included in the fueling information data is a fixed amount of fuel or a fixed quantity of oil This is not a case of refueling, so the process of the data is configured to end. In addition to the above-mentioned sperm oil supply, quantitative oil supply and fine oiling lubrication method, the addition of a full lubrication method and taking only the lubrication information data of the full lubrication method is the most preferable example according to the present invention. Such fueling information data filtering is configured to select data suitable for calculating the fuel economy, to prevent the error of calculating fuel economy even for the fueling information data that is not suitable, and to reduce the load of the main server 100 There is. Referring to the drawings, in the present invention, it means that the oiling information data having the value of semen oil supply (S415) or quantitative oil supply (S416) is removed in the process of the present invention.

In the lubrication information data filtering using the lubrication method value according to the present invention, a preferred example of generating a full lubrication signal is, when the server terminal 120 adds a setting signal of the full lubrication method directly to the lubricator, and lubricated The signal may be transmitted to the main server 100.

Another example of generating a filling oil signal according to the present invention is to pre-determine a predetermined filling oil key in the server terminal 120 and input it directly on the server terminal 120 so that the filling oil key value is inputted to the main server. 100 can be sent.

Another example of generating a full filling signal according to the present invention is configured to perform a predetermined filling filling confirmation control in advance on the server terminal 120, and transmits the filling filling check value to the main server 100. It is. That is, the server terminal 120 receives the fueling information data from the fueling machine and then compares the fueling method value, and if the value of the full fueling value is given to give a predetermined full refueling check value, or the value of the fueling method is fixed or refueling value After supplying a full refueling confirmation value to the refueling information data not included, the refueling information confirmation and the full refueling confirmation value may be further transmitted to the main server 100 to the main server 100.

When receiving the full refueling signal directly from the server terminal 120 as described above, the predetermined refueling information filtering performed by the main server 100 is to remove the refueling information data including the above-mentioned flat fuel supply and quantitative refueling value It's easier than ever.

(On the other hand, if the fueling information data filtering method using the fueling method value as described above cannot be applied, if the fueling amount is a certain unit amount such as 30,000 won, 50,000 won, it is a fixed unit oil data to be removed as a fixed amount Filtering can be performed, for example, when judging only by fueling amount, it is possible to recognize that it is filled with fuel if it costs 58,000 won. In the case of judging by the fueling amount alone, error may be included, so the accuracy of filtering is lower than that of the fueling method value, but if it is determined that the probability of valid data of invalid data is significantly lower, It is also possible to adopt a certain amount of fueling data filtering.)

As described above, after the fueling information data filtering using the fueling system value (S325), the main server 100 corresponds to the corresponding member ID 211 stored in the member information database 220 corresponding to each fueling information data that has passed the filtering. ) And extracts the driver terminal ID 212 as a keyword, and requests the driver terminal 130 to transmit driving distance data through the predetermined communication network 140 or 150 (S570). FIG. 5B is a process exhibiting the same effects as the above-described FIG. 5A, and shows that the order of storage of data and filtering of lubrication information data can be flexibly changed as necessary.

As shown in FIGS. 1C and 1D, when the server terminal 120 is capable of wireless communication with the driver terminal 130, the server terminal 120 transmits driving distance data to the driver terminal 130. You can request

When a request for transmission of driving distance data is received from the main server 100 or the server terminal 120, when the driver terminal 130 is portable, such as a mobile phone, the member may drive the driving distance data displayed on the dashboard of the vehicle. The terminal is manually inputted and transmitted, and when the driver terminal is a vehicle-mounted PC, the vehicle-mounted terminal automatically transmits mileage data. The data exchange technology between the main server or the server terminal and the driver terminal is a technique known as IrDA, RF Tag and device.

On the other hand, there are two types of mileage of the vehicle, that is, the accumulated mileage that is accumulated and recorded from the factory, and the mileage that is generated by pressing the reset key. The mileage selection method for calculating the fuel efficiency of a typical vehicle includes a method of using the difference between the cumulative mileage at the present time of full lubrication and the cumulative mileage at the time of full lubrication (first method), and the section mileage directly. There is a method (second method) to use. Cumulative driving distance and section driving distance is different from the calculation formula of the fuel economy as described below, so when the main server 100 receives the driving distance data should be identified. Therefore, when the main server 100 receives the mileage data directly from the driver terminal 130 or via the communication medium terminal including the server terminal 120, the section / cumulative mileage to a certain portion of the mileage value It may be received including a predetermined character, symbol or predetermined protocol for identification of the.

FIG. 5C illustrates that the main server 100 or the server terminal 120 when the driver terminal 130 of the member is a personal mobile phone after the fueling information data of the full-filled member passes filtering the fueling information data according to the present invention. Shows an example of requesting and replying to transmission of mileage data in the form of SMS (short message). When using a wireless Internet-based communication environment other than the WAP-based SMS form, it is possible to easily manage the fuel economy when two or more drivers (eg, a couple) of a vehicle are used. That is, the driver terminal ID corresponding to the member ID and the vehicle ID are set together as the basic information DB (see FIG. 2E), and a step of asking the driver terminal for confirmation of the vehicle ID when adding the driving distance data is added to the vehicle ID. If different, if the user can change and modify the vehicle fuel economy management for each vehicle ID is made.

Meanwhile, when the driver terminal 130 is a vehicle driving information storage chip and a vehicle computer mounted on a vehicle and capable of wireless transmission and reception with an external communication medium, the main server 100 receives the mileage data when there is a predetermined agreement. It can be automatically received from the vehicle-mounted driver terminal 130, at this time, a separate communication medium terminal including the server terminal 120 for the communication medium between the main server 100 and the vehicle-mounted driver terminal 130 Can be via. FIG. 1A, FIG. 1C, FIG. 1E, and FIG. 1G illustrate a configuration in which the server terminal 120 according to the present invention requests and receives transmission of driving distance data with the driver terminal 130. , <FIG. 1B>, <FIG. 1D>, <FIG. 1F>, and <FIG. 1H> illustrate the flow of data in each configuration diagram. In particular, the method in FIGS. 1C and 1G includes communication mediation means for wireless communication mediation between the server terminal 120 and the driver terminal 130.

Hereinafter, the processing flow of the mileage data received by the main server 100 from the driver terminal 130 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 6A and 6B.

When the mileage data is received from the driver terminal 130 to the data interface of the main server 100, the main server 100 uses the ID 212 of the driver terminal 130 in the received data as a keyword in the member information database ( In operation S610, the fueling information data field of the corresponding member is extracted (S610). In order to more easily perform the step of extracting fueling information data corresponding to the traveling distance data received by the main server 100, the operator of the system may separately configure a predetermined driving distance receiving permission unit 235. That is, after the main server 100 requests the driver terminal 130 to transmit the mileage data, the main server 100 opens the predetermined mileage receiving permission unit 235, and when the mileage data is received later, The burden on the main server can be reduced by searching for the lubrication information data opened by the mileage receiving permission unit 235 together with the unique number 212. In addition, the member requesting the mileage data transmission instead of the mileage permission unit described above. Running a temporary memory for the data can also reduce the burden on the server.)

Thereafter, the main server 100 performs predetermined mileage data filtering (S630) for verifying validity by comparing the received mileage data with the extracted fuel information data. The mileage data filtering (S630) shown in FIG. 6B is based on the mileage data due to an input delay to the driver terminal 130 or a network error between the driver terminal 130 and the main server 100. Means for eliminating transmission delay error, and is an additional configuration for calculating the exact fuel efficiency to be obtained in the present invention. That is, a predetermined reception allowable time limit is set (S631), and the required time (P value in FIG. 6B) from the oil supply time included in the lubrication information data to the travel distance reception time included in the mileage data is the allowable time limit. If it exceeds (S635), the data in the case of exceeding the allowable time limit is configured to exclude from the process of the present invention because the probability that the data is already after a certain distance is very high. The allowable time may be flexibly applied, for example, within 5 minutes, and the mileage inputted to the driver terminal 130 instead of the mileage data receiving time received by the main server 100 in the required time measurement criteria. It may also be based on the transmission time of the data.

If the received mileage data is valid, the main server 100 determines whether it is a cumulative mileage or a section mileage based on the above-described mark included in the received mileage data (S640 and S650).

The fuel economy calculation formula (S670) when the above traveling distance data is the accumulated traveling distance is temporarily as follows.

Fuel efficiency result = (cumulative mileage value received this time-cumulative mileage value just before) / (gas flow rate this time)

On the other hand, it is impossible in the principle of the present invention to provide the fuel economy at every fueling, unless the member is always full of fueling. However, if the mileage data transmitted with this full oiling, the difference in the mileage data at the time of the last full oiling in the past, and the sum of the fuel flows from the time of the previous mileage data generation up to this time, the oil is filled. Whenever it is possible to provide fuel economy. Therefore, for the cumulative driving distance, the above calculation of the fuel efficiency calculation is finally as follows.

Operational fuel consumption result (the first method)

= (Cumulative mileage value received this time-cumulative mileage value received at the last final point in time) / (sum of gas flow rate + sum of fuel flows since past last mileage value occurrence)

Accordingly, referring to the example of the member fueling record of FIG. 2C, the fuel economy results are as follows.

First oiling (N1) = (32,000- Null) / (70 + Null) = not calculated

(N2) = (32,500-32,000) / (50 + 0) = 10.0

3 times oiling (N3) = (Null -32,500) / (35 + 0) = Not calculated

4 times (N4) = (Null -32,500) / (30 + 35) = Not calculated

5 times (N5) = (34,000-32,500) / (55 + 30 + 35) = 12.0

As shown in the above formula, when the main server 100 receives the accumulated mileage data value, it is possible to calculate the normal fuel economy only when the 'input past accumulated mileage data' value exists. Therefore, the main server 100 checks whether the 'input accumulated cumulative mileage data' value exists (S660), and if not, terminates the process and waits for generation of next fueling information data and mileage data. If there is a cumulative driving distance in the past, calculation of the fuel economy is performed according to the above formula (the first method).

On the other hand, the fuel economy calculation formula (second method, S680) in the case where the travel distance data is the section travel distance is obtained as follows.

Result of fuel efficiency (Method 2) = (Distance traveled this time) / (Current flow rate)

After performing the fuel economy calculation as described above, the main server 100 stores the fuel economy result value and the mileage data in the member information database of the corresponding member of the main server 100 (S690) and the predetermined communication network 140, 150, the fuel consumption result is sent to the driver terminal 130 (S695). The means for sending the driving fuel economy result value to the driver terminal 130 by the main server 100 may further include various communication paths that have been agreed with the member in advance, such as an internet e-mail.

On the other hand, the system operator may configure a separate appropriate fuel economy database (<FIG. 2D>) in conjunction with the present system in consideration of the possibility that an error value is input to the mileage data transmitted from the driver terminal 130. That is, when the driving fuel economy value calculated as described above is less than the predetermined minimum fuel economy value defined in the appropriate fuel economy database or exceeds the maximum fuel economy value, the main server 100 transmits a driving distance with an error guidance to the driver terminal 130. It is possible to request re-entry of the data and recalculate the driving fuel economy value by the above-described method as the mileage data retransmitted from the driver terminal 130.

FIG. 7A, FIG. 1E, 1F, and FIG. 1G, 1H are diagrams illustrating another embodiment according to the present invention, in which the fueling information data and the mileage data are simultaneously or from the server terminal 120. FIG. The case where the reception is successively with a time difference enough to ignore the error is shown. When the fueling information data and the mileage data are received from the server terminal 120 to the main server 100 at one time or in succession, the difference in the input time from the driver terminal 130 as described above can be ignored. It is possible to calculate the fuel economy without having to apply the configuration of the mileage data filtering using the allowable time.
