Description

整合多充電服務提供者之車輛充電系統
本揭露大體上關於電動車輛等之充電站網路。
電動車獲得消費者之中普及。結果，充電基礎建設以快速腳步發展。該些基礎建設之中為充電站之網路，電動車輛之操作者可訂閱以促進與其車輛充電相關聯交易。在該些網路內，儲存之用戶資訊可用以改進用戶之經驗，例如實施用戶偏好，加速付款，及促進驗證。然而，隨著網路數量增加，需輸入及追蹤之資訊量對使用者而言變得繁重，減損經驗及減少便利。
如文中所說明，用於管理關於與用戶相關聯之一或多個電動車(EV)之資訊的方法，該用戶為提供電動車充電服務之一或多個用戶網路的成員，包括結合複數用戶網路與網路管理者，及執行資訊交換其中關於電動車之資訊從第一用戶網路傳送至第二用戶網路。
文中亦說明一種系統，用於鏈結複數用戶網路，其經操作以提供充電服務至與用戶相關聯之電動車，該些用戶為一或多個複數用戶網路的成員。系統包括網路管理者經配置以執行第一用戶網路與第二用戶網路之間之資訊交換，結合與第一用戶網路用戶相關聯之電動車與第二用戶網 路之充電站之間之資訊交換對話。
文中說明電腦、伺服器、及軟體及網路之系統之上下文中示範實施例。本技藝中一般技術之人士將理解，下列說明僅為描繪而不希望以任何方式侷限。其他實施例將輕易地向得益於本揭露之技術熟練人士建議本身。現在將更詳細地參考如附圖中所描繪之示範實施例的實施。相同代號將用於遍及圖式之範圍，且下列說明參照相同或類似項目。
為求清晰，並未顯示及說明文中所說明之實施的所有常規功能。當然，將理解的是在任何該等實際實施之發展中，需進行各種特定實施決定，以達成開發者之特定目標，諸如符合應用及商業相關限制，且該些特定目標於各實施及各開發者之間不同。再者，將理解的是該等開發努力可能是複雜及耗時的，但對於得益於本揭露之本技藝中一般技術之人士而言，不過是工程的常事。
根據此揭露，文中所說明之組件、程序步驟、及/或資料結構可使用各類型作業系統、計算平台、電腦程式、及/或通用機器予以實施。此外，本技藝中該些一般技術之人士將理解亦可使用低通用特性之裝置，諸如硬線裝置、場可程控閘陣列(FPGA)、專用積體電路(ASIC)等，而未偏離文中所揭露之本發明之範圍及精神。其中包含一連串程序步驟之方法係由電腦或機器實施，且該些程序 步驟可儲存為一連串機器可讀取指令，其可儲存於有形媒體上，諸如電腦記憶體裝置(例如ROM(唯讀記憶體)、PROM(可程控唯讀記憶體)、EEPROM(電可抹除可程控唯讀記憶體)、快閃記憶體、隨身碟等)、磁性儲存媒體(例如磁帶、磁碟等)、光學儲存媒體(例如CD-ROM、DVD-ROM、紙卡、紙帶等)、及其他類型程式記憶體。
文中專門使用「示範」用詞表示「充當範例、實例或描繪」。文中說明為「示範」之任何實施例不一定解譯為較佳或優於其他實施例。
圖1為整合多充電服務提供者之車輛充電系統100之實施例示意圖。系統100包括耦合至管理者104之m個用戶網路102(m為任何整數1-M，此範例中為3)。每一用戶網路102代表充電服務提供者，其可提供至其成員(未顯示)存取n個充電站106(n為任何整數1-N，此範例中為3)進行充電或放電成員之電動車輛(電動車)，及或與此交換資訊。在該等充電對話期間，如以下更詳細說明，由包含之用戶網路追蹤於充電器所包含之充電的量或值之指示及/或花費的時間。各種度量可用以說明該指示，諸如千瓦小時(kWhr)、於充電器花費的時間、或該些數據之組合。
在一實施例中，每一用戶網路102維持每一其成員之帳戶作為成員設定檔之附屬物。帳戶包含成員資訊諸如成員ID及收費量之動態平衡，或可用於「預先付費」計費 模型成員之折算金額，或將延伸至「後計費」模型成員之信用量等等。成員帳戶及設定檔係儲存於用戶網路之用戶資料庫SDB 110。在一實施例中，例如用戶網路M之一或多個用戶網路具有配置一或多個計費服務112予已建立帳戶之成員。該等計費服務112之範例包括公共事業公司、陸線電話服務提供者、蜂巢式電話服務提供者、收費公路實體等。該等計費服務112可維持由用戶網路102提供之充電服務相關聯的成員帳戶，或部分或帳戶副本，並管理一或多個驗證、授權及帳戶程序。計費服務112可經由計費服務與成員之間已建立之正常計費習慣及協定而連接成員。
除了充電或放電其電動車輛及交易付款及/或用於該等充電或放電之信用以外，存取充電站106使成員可交換資訊，諸如關於車輛及車輛電池、充電站、及一或多個用戶網路102。此外，車輛與充電站106之間交換之資訊可包括原產地保證(GO)資訊，其將於以下詳細說明並大體上關於所包含電荷之來源一例如其是否來自「乾淨」電源，諸如風力或太陽能，或來自燃煤電廠等等。彙整之資訊可用以提供資料服務至最終使用者。該些通常為提供予使用者之第二級資料。通常，電動車或電動車電池與充電站之間之相互作用，為充電或放電或交換資訊之目的，文中可稱為充電或放電對話或資訊交換對話，並可意味著任何該些活動之組合。
若干或全部充電站106可為用戶網路102所擁有及/ 或所管理，但充電站與網路之間之結合可鬆散地解譯，表示若干或全部充電站可替代地為第三方所擁有及/或所管理，其可或並非隸屬於用戶網路。
管理者104包括註冊資料庫(RDB)108。管理者104充當分配獨特與用戶網路相關聯之資料庫ID(DBID)相關聯的用戶網路特定「域」至每一用戶網路102。每一域亦與分配至用戶網路102之個別成員之其本身成員ID集相關聯。該些域係由管理者104追蹤及管理，且其副本保留在管理者104之RDB 108中。在資料交換格式或協定中，該些域可採用獨特地識別用戶網路102之欄位(一連串位元)的形式。
參照圖2，交易標籤200為代表並包含與特定交易相關聯之資訊，例如充電對話或資訊交換對話，其係由特定時間點之充電站106的成員管理。交易標籤200之格式可採取以二進制位元填充之多個欄位的形式。該些欄位包括域欄位202、成員ID欄位204、及通常配賦予206之其他欄位。其他欄位206可關於計費對話中所包含之計費度量(例如，kWhr或時間)；使用之特定充電站；基本及客用戶站ID；原產地保證(GO)資訊，諸如來自乾淨可再生來源之能源比例、該比例之值；相對於成員之值的其他資料服務等等。其亦可包括關於關係之類型的資訊，並指明各種用戶網路102之間之配置(即網際資訊)，包括可包含之基本及客用戶網路。
交易標籤200亦可由車輛及/或車輛電池儲存及追蹤 。以此方式，維持並可運用充電之特性及計費之量及起源與車輛所利用之能源的知識。該等知識之一應用可為依據下列事實：儲存於車輛電池中電力之第一百分比為可再生來源(太陽能)，第二百分比為來自其他可再生來源(風力)，及儲存之能源的差額則來自非可再生來源，車輛可開至充電站將其電池放電回至電網，且依據賣回電廠之可再生/非可再生能源之比例，及依據不同可再生來源之不同比例，成員將被記帳。賣回之可再生能源將具有高價值，成員將據此被記帳。當然成員於放電期間可選擇各種比例，恰如成員於充電期間可選擇各種比例。除了可再生/非可再生區別以外，可追蹤充電及放電時間，並可為此目的提供交易標籤200中適當欄位。以此方式，於尖峰時間開始之充電值可以較於非尖峰時間開始者更高費率從成員之帳戶扣除，同時相反地，於尖峰時間開始之放電可以較於非尖峰時間開始者更高費率記帳成員之帳戶。類似的信用分攤及扣除可依據地理及依據在家充電/放電相對於公共充電/放電，及依據在家充電/放電之性質(例如可再生相對於非可再生)，而予實施。
如圖1中所指示，用戶網路102可進入相互私人配置，使其成員之部分或全部可「漫遊」。在漫遊中，一用戶網路102(基網)之成員，例如用戶網路2，可採用其他用戶網路(客網路)之服務，例如用戶網路N，反之亦然。在該等範例中，用戶網路2之成員可使用用戶網路N之一或多個充電站106來充電成員之電動車輛EV(未顯 示)。
當一用戶網路(基網)102之成員漫遊至其他用戶網路(客網路)時，例如獲得客用戶網路之充電，成員之DBID用以返回至基本用戶網路。DBID係於交易標籤200中識別，其整個或部分傳送至基本用戶網路102。接著，依據儲存於基本用戶網路之資料庫(SDB1-SDBM)110中之成員資訊及設定檔，於基本用戶網路管理交易開銷。交易開銷包括交易之驗證、授權、及會計。會計為交易標籤200中所包含之資訊的功能，包括處理計費度量、原產地保證(GO)資訊等。在一實施例中，交易標籤之欄位包括參與網路及/或其資料庫之中之內建安全應用金鑰。
參照圖3，示意地顯示充電對話，其中車輛300將於與以上說明方式耦合至基本用戶網路之客網路相關聯之充電站302充電。在一或多個例示中，其中儲存之交易標籤200顯示為雙向傳輸至並來自車輛300及客及基本用戶網路。交互式儀表304用以為GO之目的而選擇可再生/非可再生來源之比例，且此資訊被寫入至交易標籤200中。
在充電對話期間，藉由其上儲存DBID之可攜式儲存媒體，成員可提供成員之資料庫ID(DBID)。該些範例包括成員所攜帶之RFID標籤，或磁性***等。在一實施例中，成員可簡單地使用電話呼叫以提供可授權交易之DBID予操作者。
在一實施例中，用戶網路102(圖1)被提供予關於成員帳戶之情報能力。例如，用戶網路起初可被提供予成 員偏好，其係經由用戶介面進入，諸如用戶網路之成員經由電腦或行動裝置於線上抵達之虛擬主機。成員偏好係儲存於用戶資料庫110之成員設定檔中，並關於以下參數，諸如充電限制(成員希望每一交易或整體之最大充電量)、原產地保證(GO)資訊(可再生/非可再生來源量)、計費時間限制(尖峰時間期間最多計費x kWhrs)、地理或費率限制(以被視為僅超過足以抵達家庭目的地之電力的費率計費)等等。該些成員偏好可進入最初登記，及/或可由成員隨時間建立或依據用戶網路之情報能力。為輔助成員選擇偏好，可用於充電站及充電將花費(或放電將支付)之現價(例如實時)的地圖可顯示於用戶介面中。圖4中示意地顯示，由於充電站於特定時間可使用不同費率，依據計費之所依，諸如提供或接收能源之來源的因子，甚至諸如溫度之環境因子，該等地圖為動態及實時的。依據蜂巢式電話三角測量或依據GPS等，地圖亦可顯示成員車輛位置。
在一實施例中，使用累積有關其成員及/或其他網路成員之資訊，用戶網路可擔任預測角色。例如，基於特定電動車之識別，例如部分特定網路，及基於用戶網路資料庫(SDB)110提供之可用性、排程、成本及其他資料，可提供新服務。一範例為決定及通知成員，鑒於距離針對路徑(此可為依據過去充電及放電資訊、位置資訊及其他歷史之預測路徑)將需多少計費，及可用性及充電成本以及預測路徑。再者，該決定可為特定網路-即，使用僅特 定用戶網路之充電站，其可為基網或客網路-或其亦可為非特定及其他網路之充電站中因子。此外，預測可為財務最適之客製化-即，對成員之成本最低。另一方面，其可為原產地保證(GO)偏好之客製化，諸如百分之百可再生。
