Description

Electric Scooter Battery Management System for Remotely Providing Battery Status Based on Internet of Things Communication and Method for Managing the Battery The present invention relates to an electric scooter battery management system and a battery management method that remotely provide the status of a battery based on Internet of Things communication. More specifically, the battery control unit communicates with a battery embedded in an electric scooter to derive battery status information and transmits it to a motor control unit. The motor control unit controls a motor that drives a wheel based on the battery status information, derives driving status information, and transmits it to a communication processing unit. The communication processing unit displays the driving status information and provides remote communication information derived based on the driving status information to a service server via an Internet of Things communication method. Recently, as technologies such as batteries have improved and consumers' experience with sharing services has increased, micro-mobility and related services, which are personal means of transportation such as electric scooters, are becoming popularized. Micro-mobility can quickly transport users to nearby destinations. For example, users travel relatively long distances using public transportation and use micro-mobility for the remaining distance, thereby fulfilling the role of last-mile mobility. Meanwhile, to use micro-mobility such as electric scooters, users either directly charge the battery built into the micro-mobility or use it by sharing or renting a micro-mobility with a charged battery. In these conventional methods, users need to determine how far they can travel based on the battery charge level to prevent the micro-mobility from stopping during driving. However, conventional micro-mobility does not provide users with information regarding the driving distance based on the power charged in the battery; instead, it simply displays the remaining battery level through a user terminal such as a smartphone or a dashboard equipped on the micro-mobility. However, in such cases, it is difficult for users to accurately determine how much further they can drive by checking the remaining battery level, and furthermore, for users with little experience using micro-mobility, determining the remaining driving range can be an even more difficult problem. Determining driving range based on the remaining battery capacity or charge level is an important issue not only for users but also for service providers operating multiple micro-mobility vehicles. Specifically, by determining the driving range of micro-mobility vehicles, the service provider enables the efficient operation of multiple micro-mobility vehicles by renting them with relatively low battery charge to users who wish to travel relatively short distances. Therefore, in order to enable users and service providers to utilize and operate micro-mobility more efficiently, there is a need to develop a method for providing information on battery status, including information on the driving range of micro-mobility.
