Abstract

A smart vehicle charging device includes a charging unit, a communication unit communicating with the vehicle, a storage unit with pre-stored information, a display unit, and a processing unit. The processing unit obtains information as to instant vehicle condition, processes the information, and transmits the information of vehicle condition to the display unit. The processing unit further can compare the instant information with information as to vehicle condition which is pre-stored. The processing unit determines whether the instant vehicle condition matches with the pre-stored information. A system and a method for reminding as to vehicle condition are also provided.

Claims

1. A vehicle condition reminding system comprising:

at least one processing unit; and

a non-transitory computer readable medium coupled to the at least one processing unit and storing instructions for execution by the at least one processing unit, the instructions causing the at least one processing unit to;

control a display unit to display an information of vehicle condition which is received;

compare the received information of vehicle condition with pre-stored information of vehicle condition;

determine whether the received information of vehicle condition matches with the pre-stored information; and

issue an alarm when the information of vehicle condition does not match with the pre-stored information.

2. The vehicle condition reminding system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the instructions further cause the at least one processing unit to:

read an identification card of a user;

compare user information with pre-stored users information; and

identify the user based on the comparison of the user information with the pre-stored users information.

3. The vehicle condition reminding system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the instructions further cause the at least one processing unit to:

control a vehicle communication unit to transmit the information of vehicle condition to a charging device.

4. The vehicle condition reminding system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the instructions further cause the at least one processing unit to:

search a solution in accordance with the information of vehicle condition when the information of vehicle condition does not match with the pre-stored information.

5. The vehicle condition reminding system as claimed in claim 4, wherein the solution is obtained by local search or web search.

6. A vehicle condition reminding method comprising:

controlling a display unit to display an information of vehicle condition upon receiving the information of vehicle condition;

comparing the information of vehicle condition with a pre-stored information;

determining whether the information of vehicle condition matches with the pre-stored information; and

issuing an alarm when the information of vehicle condition does not match with the pre-stored information.

7. The vehicle condition reminding method as claimed in claim 6, wherein further comprising:

reading an identification card of a user, comparing user information with a pre-stored users information, and identifying the user.

8. The vehicle condition reminding method as claimed in claim 6, wherein further comprising:

controlling a vehicle communication unit to transmit the information of vehicle condition to a charging device.

9. The vehicle condition reminding method as claimed in claim 6, wherein further comprising:

searching a solution in accordance with the information of vehicle condition when the information of vehicle condition does not match with the pre-stored information.

10. The vehicle condition reminding method as claimed in claim 9, wherein the solution is obtained by local search or web search.
