FIG. 4 is a flowchart for explaining an electric vehicle charging and delivering service method according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 5 is a diagram employed in the description of FIG.

First, the user (customer) operates the user terminal 10 to access the service server 30 through the network 20 to request a charging service (S10). Here, the user is a person driving an electric vehicle. It is assumed that the user requests the charge service after parking on the road side according to the feeling that the battery needs to be charged while the electric car is being driven on an arbitrary road.

The user inputs the user information and vehicle information together with the charging service request. Here, the user information may include a name of the user, a resident registration number, and a telephone number. The vehicle information may include the vehicle number of the electric vehicle and the like.

Accordingly, the service server 30 receiving the charging service request signal determines the current location of the user who requested the charging service (S12).

Then, the service server 30 selects an electric vehicle charging station that exists at an optimum position based on the identified current position (S14). Here, the electric vehicle charging station existing at the optimum position may be an electric vehicle charging station located at a recent distance from the current position of the user.

Thereafter, the service server 30 transmits a notification message informing the selected electric car charging station of the selection result (S16). Here, the notification message may include the user's current location, user information (including name, resident registration number, telephone number, etc.), vehicle information, and the like.

On the other hand, the charging server 40 of the electric vehicle charging station receiving the notification message informing the selection sends the notification message to the employee terminal 60. Accordingly, the employee goes to the place where the charge target vehicle (electric car) is parked (that is, the user's current position), and carries the charge target vehicle to the electric car charging station instead of charging the information in the notification message S18).

Thereafter, the user's vehicle delivery request is made. As illustrated in FIG. 5, when a user who travels on foot to an arbitrary destination after requesting a charge service at a departure location has a situation where a vehicle should be delivered after leaving the route, a vehicle delivery request is made (S20 ). At this time, it is assumed that the location where the user requested the vehicle delivery is N in FIG.

The service server 30 commands the vehicle delivery while transmitting the location N of the user at the time of the vehicle delivery request to the charge server 40 when the user's vehicle delivery request is made.

The charging server 40 receiving the vehicle delivery command sets the vehicle delivery place and calculates the vehicle delivery time (S22).

5, since the vehicle delivery place is a place that can be a midpoint between the position N at the time of the user's request for vehicle delivery and the distance to the selected electric vehicle charging station, It can be a delivery place.

The vehicle delivery time is calculated based on the time (N) required for charging the electric vehicle of the user based on the position (N) at the time when the user requested the delivery of the vehicle. For example, the time required to deliver the vehicle may be determined based on a travel time from the location (N) at the time when the user requests the delivery of the vehicle to the vehicle delivery place (P3) A delay time due to the amount of traffic (such as overload), and a charge completion time based on the current charge amount. If the vehicle is requested to be delivered after the charging of the electric vehicle is completed, the charging completion time will not be included in the delivery time of the vehicle.

Therefore, the vehicle delivery time calculation unit 45 obtains the vehicle delivery time by adding up the time required for the delivery of the vehicle and the time at which the user requests delivery of the vehicle.

Then, the charging server 40 transmits a message including the vehicle delivery time and the vehicle delivery location to the user terminal 10 and the employee terminal 60 (S24). At this time, the charging server 40 can transmit map information together with helping the user and the employee to easily find the vehicle delivery place. Then, the charging server 40 can transmit the information of the user who requests the car delivery to the employee terminal 60 together.

Thereafter, until the delivery of the vehicle is completed, the charging server 40 tracks the current position of the user who made the vehicle delivery request in real time and tracks the current position of the employee in operation in real time (S26, S28) .

Then, the charging server 40 resets the vehicle delivery time and the vehicle delivery place based on this (S30), and transmits it to the user terminal 10 and the staff terminal 60. [ For example, if an employee arrives too early in the vehicle delivery location (P3) than the user, the vehicle delivery location can be reset to P2. As the employee drives and drives the electric car to be delivered, it is possible to arrive at the vehicle delivery place (P3) much faster than the user traveling on foot, so that the delivery time of the vehicle and the location of delivery of the vehicle can be sufficiently reset.

In particular, since the charging server 40 can track the current position of the user and the current position of the employee in real time, even if the user moves along a completely different path (or direction) Can be reset.

In this way, the convenience of the user can be maximized. In addition, since the place where the vehicle is delivered can be a hot spot such as a famous spot (e.g., a cafe, a mart, a sightseeing spot, etc.), an ad effect or a sales effect can be obtained in the case of a hot spot.

In addition, the electric vehicle charging and delivery service method of the present invention described above can be implemented as a computer-readable code on a computer-readable recording medium. A computer-readable recording medium includes all kinds of recording apparatuses in which data that can be read by a computer system is stored. Examples of the computer-readable recording medium include ROM, RAM, CD-ROM, magnetic tape, floppy disk, optical data storage, and the like. The computer readable recording medium may also be distributed over a networked computer system so that computer readable code can be stored and executed in a distributed manner. And, functional programs, codes and code segments for implementing the above method can be easily inferred by programmers of the technical field to which the present invention belongs.
