Vehicle-mounted terminal, charging pile, electric bicycle, and rental system and method thereof
First Claim
1. A vehicle-mounted terminal for an electric bicycle, comprising:
- a receiver, configured to receive a rental request; and
a controller, configured to;
acquire the performance state of an electric bicycle targeted by the rental request, in response to the rental request;
communicate with a server to authenticate the validity of a renter, if the acquired performance state meets preset rental criteria;
issue an unlocking instruction signal to a charging pile to which the electric bicycle is locked, to unlock the electric bicycle, if a successful authentication message is received from the server; and
a positioning device configured to provide a position information of the electric bicycle to the controller;
the controller further configured to;
communicate with the server to report the position information, and control the electric bicycle to power on according to a feedback from the server that indicates the electric bicycle is within a predefined geographical scope as determined by the server, or control the electric bicycle to power off according to a feedback from the server that indicates the electric bicycle is outside of the predefined geographical scope as determined by the server, wherein the predefined geographical scope is associated with a travel range determined by battery capacity of the electric bicycle and distance to the nearest electric bicycle rental outlet.

Abstract
The disclosure relates to an intelligent transportation field. A vehicle-mounted terminal, a charging pile, an electric bicycle, and a rental system and a rental method of the electric bicycle are described. The vehicle-mounted terminal for the electric bicycle comprises: a receiver configured to receive a rental request; and a controller configured to: acquire the performance state of an electric bicycle targeted by the rental request, in response to the rental request; communicate with a server to authenticate the validity of the renter, if the acquired performance state meets preset rental criteria; and issue an unlocking instruction signal to a charging pile to unlock the electric bicycle, if a successful authentication message is received from the server. The vehicle-mounted terminal communicates with the server, so that the back-end server can obtain the service condition of the rented bicycle in real time, and can monitor and manage the bicycle.
