Battery exchange service system and charging method therefor, and portable device
First Claim
1. A battery exchange service system comprising:
- a terminal and a management server connected with each other;
wherein the terminal includes;
an information obtaining unit for obtaining battery information and user information;
a charging and discharging unit for charging or discharging a battery pack;
a power information generation unit for generating information on an amount of electricity based on charging or discharging by the charging and discharging unit; and
an information transmission unit for transmitting to the management server the battery information, the user information, and the information on the amount of electricity; and
wherein the management server includes;
an information reception unit for receiving the battery information, the user information, and the information on the amount of electricity from the terminal;
a battery information database for storing battery information distributed in the battery exchange service system;
a contractor information database for storing contractor information for the battery exchange service system;
a battery information verification unit for verifying the battery information by the battery information stored in the battery information database;
a user information verification unit for verifying the user information by the contractor information stored in the contractor information database;
a charge calculation unit for calculating a charge based on the information on the amount of electricity; and
a transmission unit for transmitting to the terminal a result of verification of the user information, a result of verification of the battery information, and the charge; and
wherein the power information generation unit generates information on an amount of electricity based on a difference between an amount of charge of a first battery pack to be provide to a user and an amount of charge remaining in a second battery pack taken back from the user.

Abstract
There is provided a service system that allows a user to charge and repeatedly use a secondary battery and exchanges a battery pack for a charged battery pack. There is provided a battery exchange service system in which a terminal is connected to a management server. The terminal includes an information obtaining unit that obtains battery information and user information; a charging and discharging unit that charges and discharges a battery pack; and a power information generation unit that generates information on an amount of electricity based on the charging and discharging by the charging and discharging unit. The management server includes a battery information database that stores battery information distributed in the battery exchange service system; a contractor information database that stores contractor information for the battery exchange service system; a battery information verification unit that verifies the battery information by the battery information stored in the battery information database; a user information verification unit that verifies the user information by the contractor information stored in the contractor information database; and a charge calculation unit that calculates a charge based on the information on the amount of electricity.
