컨트롤러(110)는 충전 과정 중에 충전부(160)에서의 충전 전류량을 감시하게 되는데, 충전 전류량이 중지된 다음 일정시간(예를 들면 10초) 이내에 다시 충전 전류량의 발생한다면, 충전부(160)의 동작을 중지시킨 다음 운전자로부터 입력부(140)를 통해 비밀번호의 재입력이 있는지를 판단하게 된다.The controller 110 monitors the charging current amount in the charging unit 160 during the charging process. If the charging current amount occurs again within a predetermined time (for example, 10 seconds) after the charging current amount is stopped, the operation of the charging unit 160 is performed. After stopping, it is determined whether there is a re-entry of the password through the input unit 140 from the driver.

이는 곧, 전기 자동차(200)에 충전을 하는 경우 완충까지는 많은 시간이 소요될 수 있어서, 운전자가 차량을 잠시 떠나는 경우 다른 전기 자동차에 자신의 접속한 전기차 충전기(100)의 충전 전원이 공급되는 것을 방지하고자 하는 것이다.This means that when charging the electric vehicle 200, it may take a lot of time to fully charge, so that when the driver leaves the vehicle for a while, the charging power of the electric vehicle charger 100 connected to the other electric vehicle is prevented from being supplied. Is what you want.

일정시간이 지나도 다시 충전 전류량이 발생하지 않는다면, 이는 운전자에 의해 충전이 종료된 상태라고 판단하여 충전을 종료하게 된다.If the charging current amount does not occur again after a certain period of time, it is determined that the charging has been completed by the driver and the charging is terminated.

상기에서 비밀번호의 재입력이 있으면 컨트롤러(110)의 상기의 과정을 통하여 운영회사서버(300)로 차량번호와 비밀번호를 재전송하여 재승인을 받게 되고, 이로 인해 충전이 계속될 수 있도록 한다.If there is a re-input of the password in the above, the vehicle number and password are retransmitted to the operating company server 300 through the above process of the controller 110 to receive re-approval, thereby allowing charging to continue.

이러한 과정에 의해 충전이 완료되면, 전기차 충전기(100)의 컨트롤러(110)는 저장부(130)에 저장된 차량 번호판의 영상, 독출된 차량번호, 자신의 고유 ID, 충전일시, 충전량에 대한 충전 정보를 운영회사서버(300)로 전송하게 되고, 운영회사서버(300)는 이러한 충전 정보를 데이터베이스에 저장한 다음 이 충전정보에 의해 해당 전기 자동차의 소유주에게 충전요금을 과금하게 되는 것이다.When charging is completed by such a process, the controller 110 of the electric vehicle charger 100 displays the image of the vehicle license plate stored in the storage unit 130, the read vehicle number, its own ID, the date and time of charging, and charging information for the charge amount. Is sent to the operating company server 300, and the operating company server 300 stores the charging information in a database and then charges the charging fee to the owner of the electric vehicle based on the charging information.
