receiving information on a location and a battery of a vehicle; and

supplying power to charging stations in the predetermined range of the location of the vehicle to be able to charge the battery of the vehicle based on the information on the location and the battery

2. The power supply control method of claim 1, wherein the supplying power includes:

querying power amount held by charging stations in the predetermined range of the location of the vehicle based on the information on the location; and

supplying power to the charging stations determined that the holding power amount is smaller than power amount to be able to charge the battery based on the information on the battery.

3. The power supply control method of claim 1, wherein the supplying power includes:

providing the information on the location of the vehicle and the battery to the charging stations in the predetermined range of the location of the vehicle; and

supplying power demand requested based on the information on the battery to the charging station.

4. The power supply control method of claim 1, further comprising transmitting at least one of location information, estimated standby time, and charging price information of the charging stations performing the charging in the predetermined range of the location of the vehicle and power amount held by the charging station to the vehicle.

5. The power supply control method of claim 1, wherein the receiving includes:

receiving the information on the location of the vehicle from a mobility management entity (MME), a home location register (HLR), or a home subscriber server (HSS) of a mobile communication network storing the location of the terminal installed in the vehicle whenever the location of the vehicle is changed; and

receiving the information on the battery from the vehicle terminal when an event that the power residual amount of the battery is a reference value or less is generated.

6. The power supply control method of claim 5, wherein the HLR or the HSS confirms that the current MME is different from a previous MME previously performing the location information update request by receiving a location information update request of the terminal from a current MME to transmit an identifier of the current MME and the receiving of the information on the location of the vehicle includes receiving the identifier of the current MME from the HLR or the HSS.

7. The power supply control method of claim 6, wherein the receiving of the information on the location of the vehicle includes:

requesting information on a tracking area that is an eNodeB area in which the current vehicle is located and a cell to the current MME, based on the received MME identifier; and

receiving the information on the tracking area and the cell from the current MME.

8. The power supply control method of claim 1, wherein the receiving includes:

receiving the information on the battery transmitted by the vehicle terminal when an event that the power residual amount of the battery is the reference value or less is generated; and

requesting the information on the location of the terminal to the mobility management entity (MME), the home location register (HLR), or the home subscriber server (HSS) of the mobile communication network storing the location of the terminal and receiving the information on the location as a response to the request, when the information on the battery is received.

9. The power supply control method of claim 8, wherein the receiving of the information on the location includes:

requesting the information on the location of the terminal to the HLR or the HSS; and

receiving the information on the tracking area that is the eNodeB area in which the current vehicle is located and the cell from the HLR or the HSS, the information on the tracking area and the cell being acquired by requesting the HLR or the HSS to the MME.

10. The power supply control method of claim 1, wherein the receiving includes:

receiving the information on the battery transmitted by the vehicle terminal when the event that the power residual amount of the battery is the reference value or less is generated; and

requesting the information on the location of the terminal to a gateway mobile location center (GMLC) and receiving the information on the location as the response to the request, when the information on the battery is received.

11. The power supply control method of claim 1, wherein the receiving includes receiving at least one of an identifier of the vehicle, the information on the location of the vehicle, the power residual amount of the battery, battery temperature, rated voltage of the battery, and final charging time from the vehicle terminal.

12. A power management method by a charging station server, the power management method comprising:

getting a supply of power from a power center according to holding power amount and a battery state of a vehicle; and

transmitting at least one of location information, estimated standby time, charging price information of the charging station and power amount held by the charging station to the vehicle.

13. The power management method of claim 12, further comprising:

providing a reserved request for charging from the vehicle; and

providing point of interest (POI) information of the charging stations to the vehicle.

14. The power management method of claim 12, further comprising:

receiving information on the location and battery of the vehicle;

determining whether power amount held by the charging station is able to charge the battery based on the information on the location and the battery; and

requesting the supply of power to the power center as the determination result.

15. The power management method of claim 13, further comprising informing the power center of the holding power amount according to the query of the power center.

16. A power system, comprising:

a vehicle terminal transmitting information on a battery; and

a power center server supplying power to charging stations in the predetermined range of the location of the vehicle to be able to charge the battery of the vehicle based on information on the battery and information on the location of the vehicle terminal.

17. The power system of claim 16, wherein the vehicle terminal monitors the battery and transmits the information on the battery and the information on the location to the power center server when an event that a power residual amount of the battery is a reference value or less is generated and

receives at least one of the location information, estimated standby time, charging price information of the charging station and the power amount held by the charging station.

18. The power system of claim 17, wherein the vehicle terminal locates the location of the vehicle terminal through a global positioning system (GPS) and transmits the information on the battery and the information on the location to the power center server in any one communication manner of third generation communication, fourth generation communication, WiFi, WAVE communication, and DSRC(D) when the event is generated.

19. The power system of claim 16, wherein the power center server receives the information on the location of the vehicle from a mobility management entity (MME), a home location register (HLR), or a home subscriber server (HSS) of a mobile communication network storing the location of the terminal installed in the vehicle whenever the location of the vehicle is changed and
