Description
본 발명은 전자석을 이용한 전기차 충전 결제시스템 및 방법에 관한 것으로, 특히 전자석을 이용하여 자동으로 충전 요금을 결제처리하는 결제 앱(Pay App)을 자동으로 활성화하여 충전 요금이 결제되도록 함으로써, 전기차 충전 요금 결제시 간편 결제가 이루어지도록 한 전자석을 이용한 전기차 충전 결제시스템 및 방법에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to an electric vehicle charging payment system and method using an electromagnet, and more particularly, to an electric vehicle charging payment system and method using an electromagnet that enables easy payment when paying for an electric vehicle charging fee by automatically activating a payment app (Pay App) that automatically processes payment for a charging fee using an electromagnet to allow payment of the charging fee.
전기차는 전기만을 동력으로 하여 움직이는 친환경자동차로, 고전압 배터리에서 전기에너지를 전기 모터로 공급하여 구동력을 발생시키는 차량이다.An electric vehicle is an environmentally friendly vehicle that runs solely on electricity. It is a vehicle that generates driving force by supplying electric energy from a high-voltage battery to an electric motor.
이러한 전기차는 화석연료를 사용하지 않기 때문에 이산화탄소(CO2)나 질소산화물(NOx) 등과 같이 배기가스 배출이 거의 발생하지 않으며, 소음이 없는 이점 등이 있다.Since these electric vehicles do not use fossil fuels, they produce almost no exhaust gas emissions such as carbon dioxide (CO2) or nitrogen oxides (NOx), and they have the advantage of being noiseless.
또한, 점차 증가하는 환경오염 및 자원부족을 막기 위해 전기차의 상용화가 진행되고 있으며, 이에 따라 전기차 충전소의 설치도 필요하게 되었다.In addition, the commercialization of electric vehicles is progressing to prevent increasing environmental pollution and resource shortages, and accordingly, the installation of electric vehicle charging stations has also become necessary.
다만, 이러한 충전소는 따로 부지를 확보해야 하며, 충전기를 설치하기 위해 부지에 지중을 만들어야 하고, 충전기 전원연결 공사를 진행해야 하는 등 투자 비용이 많이 들어가는 문제점이 있다.However, these charging stations require a lot of investment costs, such as having to secure a separate site, digging underground to install the charger, and carrying out power connection work for the charger.
한편, 전기차는 충전소나 전기차 충전기를 이용한 충전이 필요하며, 충전 요금의 결제를 위해 다양한 방식으로 충전 요금을 결제할 수 있는 데 그 중 하나가 충전 RFID 카드 앱을 사용하는 방식이다. 이는 전기차 충전이 가능한 RFID 카드를 모바일 등에 내장하고, 결제 시 사용자가 충전 RFID 카드 앱을 활성화한 후, 정해진 절차대로 직접 수작업을 통해 결제를 진행 및 처리하게 된다.Meanwhile, electric vehicles need to be charged using a charging station or electric vehicle charger, and there are various ways to pay the charging fee, one of which is to use a charging RFID card app. This involves embedding an RFID card that can charge electric vehicles into a mobile phone, etc., and when making a payment, the user activates the charging RFID card app, and then proceeds and processes the payment manually according to the set procedure.
이 경우, 충전 RFID 카드 앱을 활성화하는 동작, 정해진 결제 절차대로 수동 조작을 하여 정보를 입력 및 처리하는 동작 등 다수의 사용자 수작업이 요구되어 사용에 많은 불편함을 수반하였다.In this case, many user-specific actions were required, such as activating the charging RFID card app and manually entering and processing information according to established payment procedures, which resulted in significant inconvenience in use.
특히, 전기차 충전 및 결제 시 충전사업자마다 호환되는 충전카드로만 충전 결제가 가능하여, 여러 충전 카드를 발급받아야 하는 단점도 있다.In particular, when charging and paying for electric vehicles, charging payments can only be made with a charging card that is compatible with each charging service provider, so there is also the disadvantage of having to obtain multiple charging cards.
따라서 모바일 등의 사용자 단말을 이용한 충전 결제 앱을 이용할 경우, 사용자의 조작을 최소화하면서 신속하게 충전 요금 결제가 이루어지도록 하는 간편 결제 앱이 필요하다.Therefore, when using a charging payment app using a user terminal such as a mobile phone, a simple payment app is needed that allows the charging fee to be paid quickly while minimizing user operations.
한편, 전기차 충전 요금 결제에 대하여 종래에 제안된 기술이 하기의 <특허문헌 1> 및 <특허문헌 2> 에 개시되어 있다.Meanwhile, previously proposed technologies for payment of electric vehicle charging fees are disclosed in <
<특허문헌 1> 에 개시된 종래기술은 전기차를 충전함에 있어, 전자기기의 근거리 통신망을 통해 전기차 충전 및 충전비용을 쉽게 처리할 수 있으며, 충전장치 연결프로그램을 통해 충전장치의 위치 및 충전정보 등을 용이하게 이용할 수 있는 전기차 충전장치의 충전 결제방법 및 충전 시스템을 제공한다.<
그러나 이러한 종래기술은 충전장치를 구동시키는 동작, 충전장치 및 전기차를 연결하는 동작, 결제 프로그램을 실행시키는 동작 등 다수의 사용자 수동 조작이 요구되는 불편함이 있다.However, these conventional technologies have the inconvenience of requiring multiple manual operations from the user, such as operating the charging device, connecting the charging device and the electric vehicle, and executing the payment program.
또한, <특허문헌 2> 에 개시된 종래기술은 사용자가 열람한 소비 정보에 대한 열람 정보를 토대로 해당 사용자에게 포인트를 지급하고, 지급된 포인트로 전기차 충전에 대한 결제금액을 결제처리할 수 있는 전기차용 결제 중계 시스템을 제공한다.In addition, the prior art disclosed in <Patent Document 2> provides a payment relay system for electric vehicles that can grant points to users based on the viewing information about consumption information viewed by the users, and process payment for electric vehicle charging with the granted points.
이러한 종래기술 역시 수동 조작을 통해 결제 앱을 실행시키고, 충전소와 통신을 통해 충전량 정보를 수신하고, 결제 서버와 접속하여 결제 금액을 전송하여 결제를 처리하는 등 사용자에게 다수의 수동 조작을 요구하므로, 결제가 번거로운 단점이 있다.These conventional technologies also require the user to perform a number of manual operations, such as executing a payment app through manual operation, receiving information on the charging amount through communication with a charging station, and processing payment by connecting to a payment server to transmit the payment amount, so they have the disadvantage of making payment cumbersome.
따라서 본 발명은 상기와 같은 일반적인 전기차 충전 RFID 카드 앱 사용 시 발생하는 제반 문제점과 종래기술에서 결제 앱을 이용할 경우 다수의 사용자 조작이 요구되어 충전 요금 결제가 불편하다는 제반 문제점을 해결하기 위해서 제안된 것으로서, 전자석을 이용하여 자동으로 충전 요금을 결제처리하는 결제 앱(Pay App)을 자동으로 활성화하여 충전 요금이 결제되도록 함으로써, 전기차 충전 요금 결제시 간편 결제가 이루어지도록 한 전자석을 이용한 전기차 충전 결제시스템 및 방법을 제공하는 데 그 목적이 있다.Accordingly, the present invention has been proposed to solve various problems that occur when using the general electric vehicle charging RFID card app as described above and various problems that make it inconvenient to pay charging fees when using a payment app in the prior art due to the requirement of multiple user operations, thereby providing an electric vehicle charging payment system and method using an electromagnet that enables easy payment when paying for electric vehicle charging fees by automatically activating a payment app (Pay App) that automatically processes payment for charging fees using an electromagnet so that the charging fee is paid.

도 1은 본 발명의 바람직한 실시 예에 따른 전자석을 이용한 전기차 충전 결제시스템의 구성도로서, 전기 차량(전기차)(1), 자동차 비콘(200), 충전소 충전기(100), 사용자 모바일(300) 및 결제 서버(400)를 포함할 수 있다.FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of an electric vehicle charging payment system using an electromagnet according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, which may include an electric vehicle (electric vehicle) (1), an automobile beacon (200), a charging station charger (100), a user mobile (300), and a payment server (400).
자동차 비콘(200)은 전기차(1)에 설치되어 자동차 식별정보(ID 정보)를 송출하는 역할을 한다.The car beacon (200) is installed in an electric vehicle (1) and serves to transmit car identification information (ID information).
충전소 충전기(100)는 충전소 접근 유무 판별을 위한 자력 신호를 발생하며, 사용자 모바일(300)로부터 전송된 자동차 식별정보(ID 정보)와 상기 자동차 비콘(200)을 통해 획득한 자동차 식별정보(ID 정보)를 비교하여 충전 차량을 인증하고, 인증된 충전 차량의 충전을 제어하는 역할을 한다.The charging station charger (100) generates a magnetic signal to determine whether a charging station is approaching, and authenticates the charging vehicle by comparing the vehicle identification information (ID information) transmitted from the user mobile phone (300) with the vehicle identification information (ID information) obtained through the vehicle beacon (200), and controls the charging of the authenticated charging vehicle.
이러한 충전소 충전기(100)는 상기 사용자 모바일(300)과 근거리 무선 통신으로 데이터를 송수신하는 무선 통신 모듈(102), 충전소 접근 유무 판별을 위한 자력 신호를 발생하는 전자석(101) 및 상기 무선 통신 모듈(102)과 연동하여 충전 차량(1)을 인증하며, 상기 전자석(101)의 구동을 제어하고, 전기차(1)의 충전을 제어하는 제어부(103)를 포함할 수 있다. 여기서 무선 통신 모듈(102)은 와이-파이, NFC, 블루투스와 같은 근거리 무선 통신을 이용할 수 있다.The charging station charger (100) may include a wireless communication module (102) that transmits and receives data via short-range wireless communication with the user mobile (300), an electromagnet (101) that generates a magnetic signal for determining whether a charging station is accessible, and a control unit (103) that authenticates a charging vehicle (1) in conjunction with the wireless communication module (102), controls the operation of the electromagnet (101), and controls charging of the electric vehicle (1). Here, the wireless communication module (102) may utilize short-range wireless communication such as Wi-Fi, NFC, or Bluetooth.
상기 제어부(103)는 상기 무선 통신 모듈(102)을 통해 충전 차량(1)의 인증이 이루어져 충전을 시작하면 상기 전자석(101)을 오프(off)시키고, 상기 충전 차량(1)의 충전이 완료되고 충전 비용 결제가 완료되면 상기 전자석(101)을 온(on)시킬 수 있다. 이렇게 충전 상황에 따라 전자석의 구동을 제어함으로써, 충전 중 불필요하게 전자석을 구동시켜 전력을 낭비하는 것을 방지할 수 있다.The above control unit (103) can turn off the electromagnet (101) when the charging vehicle (1) is authenticated through the wireless communication module (102) and charging begins, and can turn on the electromagnet (101) when the charging of the charging vehicle (1) is completed and the payment of the charging cost is completed. By controlling the operation of the electromagnet according to the charging situation in this way, it is possible to prevent power from being wasted by unnecessarily operating the electromagnet during charging.
또한, 상기 제어부(103)는 충전 차량(1)을 충전하는 도중에 상기 자동차 비콘(200)으로부터 발생한 자동차 식별정보가 일정시간 이상 수신되지 않으면 상기 결제 서버(400)와 연동하여 사용자 모바일(300)로 충전 일시정지 메시지를 송신하도록 유도할 수 있다.In addition, the control unit (103) can induce a charging pause message to be transmitted to the user mobile (300) in conjunction with the payment server (400) if the vehicle identification information generated from the vehicle beacon (200) is not received for a certain period of time while the charging vehicle (1) is being charged.
사용자 모바일(300)은 상기 충전소 충전기(100)로부터 발생한 자력 신호를 기초로 결제 앱(Pay App)을 자동으로 활성화한 후 모바일 식별정보(ID 정보)와 자동차 식별정보(ID 정보)를 전송하고, 충전 차량(1)의 인증이 이루어진 후 충전이 완료되면 결제 서버(400)와 접속을 통해 충전 비용을 결제처리하는 역할을 한다.The user mobile (300) automatically activates the payment app (Pay App) based on the magnetic signal generated from the charging station charger (100), then transmits mobile identification information (ID information) and vehicle identification information (ID information), and when the charging vehicle (1) is authenticated and charging is completed, it connects to the payment server (400) to process payment for the charging cost.
이러한 사용자 모바일(300)은 자력 신호를 수신하는 자력 센서를 구비하고, 결제 앱에서 상기 자력 센서에서 수신한 자력 신호의 세기를 기초로 충전소 충전기(100)의 접근 유무를 판단할 수 있다.These user mobiles (300) are equipped with a magnetic sensor that receives a magnetic signal, and the payment app can determine whether a charging station charger (100) is approaching based on the strength of the magnetic signal received from the magnetic sensor.
또한, 상기 사용자 모바일(300)은 상기 충전소 충전기(100)로부터 모바일 식별정보가 수신되면 결제 앱을 이용하여 충전 비용을 선결제 처리하고, 충전이 완료되면 최종 결제를 처리할 수 있다. 즉, VAN사(부가통신사업자)가 제조한 카드 단말기는 선결제 후 초과 금액 발생시 재결재가 이루어지고 이후 선결재 취소가 이루어지는 구조이므로, 선결제와 최종 결제라는 용어를 이용하여 이를 설명한다.In addition, the user mobile (300) can prepay the charging cost using the payment app when mobile identification information is received from the charging station charger (100), and process the final payment when charging is completed. That is, since the card terminal manufactured by the VAN (value-added telecommunications business operator) is structured such that repayment is made when an excess amount occurs after prepayment, and then prepayment is canceled, this is explained using the terms prepayment and final payment.
결제 서버(400)는 상기 충전소 충전기(100)와 상기 사용자 모바일(300) 간의 충전을 인식하고, 충전 요금 결제 처리를 수행해주는 역할을 한다. 이러한 결제 서버(400)는 충전소를 관리하거나 충전 차량의 충전 정보도 관리할 수 있다.The payment server (400) recognizes charging between the charging station charger (100) and the user mobile (300) and processes payment for charging fees. This payment server (400) can also manage the charging station or manage charging information for the charging vehicle.
도 2는 본 발명에 따른 "전자석을 이용한 전기차 충전 결제방법"을 보인 흐름도로서, (a) 사용자 모바일(300)에서 자력 센서를 이용하여 전기차 충전소 접근 유무를 판별하는 단계(S101 - S102), (b) 상기 판별결과 전기차 충전소 접근일 경우, 충전 요금을 결제하는 결제 앱을 자동으로 활성화하는 단계(S103), (c) 상기 사용자 모바일(300)에서 모바일 식별정보 및 자동차 식별정보를 충전소 충전기(100)로 송신하는 단계(S104), (d) 상기 충전소 충전기(100)에서 사용자 모바일(300)로부터 전송된 자동차 식별정보(ID 정보)와 상기 자동차 비콘(200)을 통해 획득한 자동차 식별정보(ID 정보)를 비교하여 충전 차량(1)을 인증하는 단계(S105), (e) 상기 사용자 모바일(300)에서 충천 차량(1)의 인증이 이루어지면 상기 결제 앱을 이용하여 선결제를 진행하는 단계(S106), (f) 상기 충전소 충전기(100)에서 상기 자동차 비콘(200)으로부터 발생한 자동차 식별정보를 기초로 충전을 제어하는 단계(S107 - S112)를 포함할 수 있다.FIG. 2 is a flow chart showing a "electric vehicle charging payment method using an electromagnet" according to the present invention, comprising: (a) a step of determining whether an electric vehicle charging station is approached using a magnetic sensor in a user mobile (300) (S101 - S102), (b) a step of automatically activating a payment app for paying a charging fee if the determination result indicates that the electric vehicle charging station is approached (S103), (c) a step of transmitting mobile identification information and vehicle identification information from the user mobile (300) to the charging station charger (100) (S104), (d) a step of authenticating a charging vehicle (1) by comparing vehicle identification information (ID information) transmitted from the user mobile (300) and vehicle identification information (ID information) acquired through the vehicle beacon (200) in the charging station charger (100) (S105), (e) a step of proceeding with a prepayment using the payment app if the charging vehicle (1) is authenticated in the user mobile (300) (S106), (f) a step of authenticating the charging station It may include a step (S107 to S112) of controlling charging based on vehicle identification information generated from the vehicle beacon (200) in the charger (100).
상기 (a)단계는 자력 센서를 이용하여 충전소 충전기(100)로부터 발생한 자력 신호를 수신하고, 수신한 자력 신호의 세기를 기초로 충전소 충전기(100)의 접근 유무를 판단할 수 있다.The above step (a) can receive a magnetic signal generated from a charging station charger (100) using a magnetic sensor, and determine whether the charging station charger (100) is approaching based on the intensity of the received magnetic signal.
또한, 상기 (f)단계는 상기 충전소 충전기(100)에서 상기 자동차 비콘(200)으로부터 발생한 자동차 식별정보가 일정시간 이상 수신되지 않으면 결제 서버(400)와 연동하여 사용자 모바일(300)로 충전 일시정지 메시지를 송신하도록 유도할 수 있다.In addition, the step (f) above can cause the charging station charger (100) to transmit a charging pause message to the user mobile phone (300) in conjunction with the payment server (400) if the vehicle identification information generated from the vehicle beacon (200) is not received for a certain period of time.
또한, 상기 (f)단계는 상기 충전소 충전기(100)에서 충전 차량(1)의 인증이 이루어져 충전을 시작하면 자력 신호를 발생하는 전자석(101)을 오프(off)시키고, 상기 충전 차량(1)의 충전이 완료되고 충전 비용 결제가 완료되면 상기 전자석(101)을 온(on)시킬 수 있다.In addition, in the step (f), when the charging vehicle (1) is authenticated at the charging station charger (100) and charging begins, the electromagnet (101) that generates a magnetic signal is turned off, and when the charging vehicle (1) is completed and the payment of the charging fee is completed, the electromagnet (101) can be turned on.
이와 같이 구성된 본 발명에 따른 "전자석을 이용한 전기차 충전 결제시스템 및 방법"을 구체적으로 설명하면 다음과 같다.The “electric vehicle charging payment system and method using an electromagnet” according to the present invention configured as described above is specifically described as follows.
먼저, 충전소 충전기(100)는 충전 차량이 존재하지 않은 상황에서 전자석(101)을 구동시켜 자력 신호를 지속적으로 발생한다.First, the charging station charger (100) continuously generates a magnetic signal by driving an electromagnet (101) in a situation where there is no charging vehicle.
이와 같은 상태에서 충전을 위한 충전 차량(1)이 상기 충전소 충전기(100)의 근거리 통신 가능 및 충전 가능한 거리에 접근하면, 충전소 충전기(100)의 무선 통신 모듈(102)의 수신부는 충전 차량(1)에 장착된 자동차 비콘(200)에서 송출되는 자동차 식별정보(ID 정보)를 수신하여 제어부(103)에 전달한다. 여기서 자동차 비콘(200)은 지속적으로 자동차 식별정보만을 송출하는 역할을 한다.In this state, when a charging vehicle (1) for charging approaches a short-range communication and charging distance of the charging station charger (100), the receiving unit of the wireless communication module (102) of the charging station charger (100) receives vehicle identification information (ID information) transmitted from the vehicle beacon (200) mounted on the charging vehicle (1) and transmits it to the control unit (103). Here, the vehicle beacon (200) plays a role of continuously transmitting only vehicle identification information.
충전 차량(1)을 충전하기 위한 사용자는 사용자 모바일(300)을 휴대한 상태에서 전기차 충전을 위해 충전 차량(1)으로부터 하차한 후, 충전 건 등의 조작을 위해 충전소 충전기(100)에 접근한다.A user who wants to charge a charging vehicle (1) gets off the charging vehicle (1) for electric vehicle charging while carrying a user mobile phone (300) and then approaches a charging station charger (100) to operate a charging gun, etc.
이때, 사용자 모바일(300)에 구비된 자력 센서는 충전소 충전기(100)에 장착된 전자석(101)으로부터 송출된 자력 신호를 수신한다.At this time, the magnetic sensor equipped in the user mobile (300) receives a magnetic signal transmitted from an electromagnet (101) mounted on the charging station charger (100).
상기 사용자 모바일(300)에 장착된 충전 요금 결제를 위한 결제 앱은 사용자 모바일(300)의 백그라운드에서 전력을 최소화한 상태에서 일부 기능(수신된 자력 신호 처리기능)만 동작을 한다. 이 상황에서 자력 신호를 수신하면 수신한 자력 신호의 세기를 검출하고, 검출한 자력 신호 세기와 결제 앱을 자동으로 활성화하기 위해 미리 설정된 기준 자력 세기를 비교하여, 상기 수신한 자력 신호의 세기가 상기 기준 자력 세기보다 크면 자력 세기가 결제 앱을 활성화하기 위해 요구된 값을 만족한 것으로 판단을 하고, 충전소 충전기에 접근한 것으로 판별하고 자동으로 충전 요금을 결제하는 결제 앱을 활성화한다(S101 - S103). 즉, 백그라운드로 동작하는 결제 앱을 완전 활성화하여 실제 결제 앱이 실행되도록 하는 것이다.The payment app for charging fee payment mounted on the user mobile (300) operates only some functions (received magnetic signal processing function) in the background of the user mobile (300) with power minimized. In this situation, when a magnetic signal is received, the intensity of the received magnetic signal is detected, and the detected magnetic signal intensity is compared with a preset reference magnetic intensity to automatically activate the payment app. If the intensity of the received magnetic signal is greater than the reference magnetic intensity, the magnetic intensity is determined to satisfy the value required to activate the payment app, and the charging station charger is determined to have been approached, and the payment app for automatically paying the charging fee is activated (S101 to S103). In other words, the payment app operating in the background is completely activated so that the actual payment app is executed.
이어, 결제 앱이 활성화되면 결제 앱은 등록된 모바일 식별정보(ID 정보) 및 자동차 식별정보(ID 정보)를 충전소 충전기(100)로 송신하고, 스캔 모드로 전환을 한다(S104). 여기서 스캔 모드로의 전환은 충전소 충전기(102)에서 근거리 무선 통신(예를 들어, 블루투스)으로 전송된 데이터를 수신할 수 있는 상태를 의미한다.Next, when the payment app is activated, the payment app transmits registered mobile identification information (ID information) and vehicle identification information (ID information) to the charging station charger (100) and switches to scan mode (S104). Here, switching to scan mode means a state in which data transmitted by short-range wireless communication (e.g., Bluetooth) from the charging station charger (102) can be received.
아울러 상기 충전소 충전기(100)의 무선 통신 모듈(102)은 상기 사용자 모바일(300)과 근거리 무선 통신으로 접속이 이루어진 상태에서, 수신부에서 상기 사용자 모바일(300)로부터 전송된 자동차 식별정보(ID 정보)와 상기 자동차 비콘(200)을 수신하여 제어부(103)에 전달한다. 제어부(103)는 상기 수신부를 통해 획득한 사용자 모바일(300)의 모바일 식별정보 및 자동차 식별정보(ID 정보)를 수신하여 내부 메모리에 저장하고, 수신한 자동차 식별정보와 자동차 비콘(200)을 통해 획득한 자동차 식별정보를 비교한다. 이 비교 결과, 사용자 모바일(300)을 통해 획득한 자동차 식별정보와 자동차 비콘(200)을 통해 획득한 자동차 식별정보가 일치하지 않으면, 충전 기능을 수행하지 않는다. 이 경우 결제가 정상적으로 이루어질 수 없으므로 충전 기능을 수행하지 않는 것이 바람직하다. 이와는 달리 사용자 모바일(300)을 통해 획득한 자동차 식별정보와 자동차 비콘(200)을 통해 획득한 자동차 식별정보가 일치하면, 충전 차량(1)임을 인지하고, 무선 통신 모듈(102)의 송신부를 통해 수신한 모바일 식별정보를 충전 차량 인증정보로 상기 사용자 모바일(300)로 전송하여 충전 차량(1)을 인증해준다(S105).In addition, the wireless communication module (102) of the charging station charger (100) receives the vehicle identification information (ID information) and the vehicle beacon (200) transmitted from the user mobile (300) through the receiving unit while connected to the user mobile (300) through short-range wireless communication and transmits them to the control unit (103). The control unit (103) receives the mobile identification information and vehicle identification information (ID information) of the user mobile (300) obtained through the receiving unit and stores them in the internal memory, and compares the received vehicle identification information with the vehicle identification information obtained through the vehicle beacon (200). As a result of this comparison, if the vehicle identification information obtained through the user mobile (300) and the vehicle identification information obtained through the vehicle beacon (200) do not match, the charging function is not performed. In this case, payment cannot be made normally, so it is preferable not to perform the charging function. In contrast, if the vehicle identification information obtained through the user mobile (300) matches the vehicle identification information obtained through the vehicle beacon (200), it is recognized that it is a charging vehicle (1), and the mobile identification information received through the transmitter of the wireless communication module (102) is transmitted to the user mobile (300) as charging vehicle authentication information to authenticate the charging vehicle (1) (S105).
상기 사용자 모바일(300)은 모바일 식별정보를 충전 차량 인증정보로 수신하면, 충천 차량(1)의 인증이 정상적으로 이루어진 것으로 판단을 하고, 결제 앱을 이용하여 결제 서버(400)와 연동을 통해 통상의 결제 처리 과정을 진행하여 충전 요금에 대한 선결제를 진행한다(S106).When the above user mobile (300) receives mobile identification information as charging vehicle authentication information, it determines that the charging vehicle (1) has been authenticated normally and proceeds with the normal payment processing process through linkage with the payment server (400) using the payment app to make prepayment for the charging fee (S106).
충전 요금에 대하여 선결제가 이루어지면 결제 서버(400)에서는 충전소 충전기(100)로 결제 정보를 전달하게 되고, 충전소 충전기(100)의 제어부(103)는 상기 결제 서버(400)로부터 결제 결과를 수신하면 이를 기초로 충전 차량(1)의 충전을 진행한다(S107 - S112).When prepayment for the charging fee is made, the payment server (400) transmits payment information to the charging station charger (100), and the control unit (103) of the charging station charger (100) receives the payment result from the payment server (400) and proceeds with charging the charging vehicle (1) based on the payment result (S107 to S112).
예컨대, 상기 충전소 충전기(100)에서 상기 자동차 비콘(200)으로부터 발생한 자동차 식별정보를 주기적으로 수신하면 충전 차량(1)의 충전을 진행한다. 이때, 충전 차량(1)의 정상적인 충전이 시작되면 제어부(103)는 전자석(101)의 구동을 오프하여, 불필요한 전력 낭비를 방지한다(S108).For example, when the charging station charger (100) periodically receives vehicle identification information generated from the vehicle beacon (200), charging of the charging vehicle (1) is performed. At this time, when normal charging of the charging vehicle (1) begins, the control unit (103) turns off the operation of the electromagnet (101) to prevent unnecessary power waste (S108).
충전이 정상적으로 진행되어 충전이 완료되면, 제어부(103)는 결제 서버(400)와 연동하여 최종 충전 요금을 전달하고 결제 처리를 요청한다(S109).When charging is completed by proceeding normally, the control unit (103) communicates with the payment server (400) to transmit the final charging fee and request payment processing (S109).
이러한 결제 요청에 따라 결제 서버(400)는 사용자 모바일(300)의 결제 앱과 연동하여 최종 결제 처리를 완료한다. 최종 결제 처리가 완료되면 결제 완료 정보를 충전소 충전기(100)에 전달한다. 충전소 충전기(100)의 제어부(103)는 최종 결제 처리 정보를 수신하면 전자석(101)을 구동시켜 다른 충전 차량의 충전이 이루어지도록 한다(S110). 여기서 선결제 금액과 충전 요금이 동일한 경우, 최종 결제 처리 과정은 생략될 수 있다.According to this payment request, the payment server (400) completes the final payment processing by linking with the payment app of the user's mobile phone (300). When the final payment processing is completed, the payment completion information is transmitted to the charging station charger (100). When the control unit (103) of the charging station charger (100) receives the final payment processing information, it operates the electromagnet (101) to enable charging of another charging vehicle (S110). Here, if the prepayment amount and the charging fee are the same, the final payment processing process may be omitted.
한편, 상기 충전소 충전기(100)의 제어부(103)는 충전을 하는 도중에 지속적으로 상기 자동차 비콘(200)으로부터 발생한 자동차 식별정보의 수신 유무를 확인하게 되는 데, 이 확인 결과 자동차 식별정보가 미리 설정된 일정시간 이상 수신되지 않으면 비정상적인 상황으로 판단을 하고, 결제 서버(400)와 연동하여 사용자 모바일(300)로 충전 일시정지 메시지를 송신하도록 유도하고, 동시에 전자석(101)을 구동시킨다(S111). 이는 충전을 하는 도중에 결제 앱이 비활성화되거나 자동차 비콘에 장애가 발생하는 등의 오류를 해결하기 위함이다.Meanwhile, the control unit (103) of the charging station charger (100) continuously checks whether or not the vehicle identification information generated from the vehicle beacon (200) is received during charging. If the vehicle identification information is not received for a preset period of time as a result of the check, it determines that it is an abnormal situation and induces the payment server (400) to transmit a charging pause message to the user mobile phone (300) and, at the same time, drives the electromagnet (101) (S111). This is to resolve errors such as the payment app being deactivated or the vehicle beacon being malfunctioned during charging.
이러한 충전 일시정지 메시지를 수신한 사용자 모바일(300)은 자력 센서를 이용하여 다시 자력 신호를 수신하고, 정상적인 자력 신호 세기이면 결제 앱을 자동으로 재활성화한다. 아울러 자동차 비콘(200)의 초기화는 등의 동작을 통해 자동차 비콘이 정상적으로 동작하도록 한다.The user mobile (300) that receives this charging pause message uses the magnetic sensor to receive the magnetic signal again, and if the magnetic signal strength is normal, automatically reactivates the payment app. In addition, the car beacon (200) is initialized, etc., to ensure that the car beacon operates normally.
상기 충전 일시정지 메시지를 송출한 후, 제어부(103)는 다시 자동차 비콘 신호의 수신 동작을 수행하고, 이 결과 정상적으로 자동차 비콘 신호가 수신되면 충전 과정으로 복귀하고, 이와는 달리 자동차 비콘 신호의 수신 동작을 다시 진행한 후에도 자동차 비콘 신호가 수신되지 않으면, 선결제 취소를 요청하고 충전을 중지한다(S112). 여기서 자동차 비콘 신호의 수신 동작은 복수로 수행할 수 있다.After transmitting the above charging pause message, the control unit (103) performs the operation of receiving the car beacon signal again, and if the car beacon signal is normally received as a result, the charging process is returned, and if the car beacon signal is not received even after the operation of receiving the car beacon signal is performed again, a prepayment cancellation is requested and charging is stopped (S112). Here, the operation of receiving the car beacon signal can be performed multiple times.
이상 상술한 본 발명에 따르면 전자석을 이용하여 자동으로 충전 요금을 결제처리하는 결제 앱(Pay App)을 자동으로 활성화하여 충전 요금이 결제되도록 함으로써, 전기차 충전 요금 결제시 간편 결제를 도모해준다.According to the present invention described above, a payment app (Pay App) that automatically processes the charging fee using an electromagnet is automatically activated to allow the charging fee to be paid, thereby facilitating easy payment when paying the electric vehicle charging fee.
