Abstract

A vehicle receives SoC information of the battery when the vehicle is in a parked state, determines whether a charged amount of the battery is lower than or equal to a preset charged amount based on the received SoC information of the battery, determines whether a current time is included in a use time zone based on use time information of the remote service when it is determined that the charged amount of the battery is lower than or equal to the preset charged amount, adjusts a cut-off time point of power supply of the battery in response to whether the current time is included in the use time zone, and transmits a power supply cut-off command of the battery to the battery management apparatus.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A vehicle comprising:
a battery; a memory; a battery management apparatus configured to monitor a state of charge (SOC) value of the battery; and a processor communicatively connected to the battery management apparatus and configured to:
receive SoC information of the battery from the battery management apparatus when the vehicle is in a parked state;
determine whether a charged amount of the battery is lower than or equal to a preset charged amount based on the received SoC information of the battery;
determine whether a current time is included in a use time zone of a remote service based on use time information of the remote service stored in the memory when the processor concludes that the charged amount of the battery is lower than or equal to the preset charged amount, the use time information of the remote service being obtained based on big data received from a server;
adjust a cut-off time point of power supply of the battery in response to whether the current time is included in the use time zone of the remote service;
calculate the cut-off time point of the power supply of the battery by identifying an additional time required for starting the vehicle through a pre-stored discharge output map, when the current time is included in the use time zone of the remote service;
transmit a command to cut off the power supply of the battery to the battery management apparatus,
wherein the processor is configured to transmit information on the cut-off time point of the power supply including the additional time to a user terminal.

2 . The vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to adjust a standby time from the current time to the cut-off time point of the power supply of the battery to be longer in a case in which the current time is included in the use time zone of the remote service than in a case in which the current time is not included in the use time zone of the remote service.

3 . The vehicle of claim 1 , further including a communicator, wherein the processor is configured to control the communicator to transmit the received SoC information of the battery to the user terminal, and when the processor concludes that the charged amount of the battery is lower than or equal to the preset charged amount, to control the communicator to transmit power supply cut-off notification information of the battery to the user terminal.

4 . The vehicle of claim 3 ,
wherein, when the processor concludes that the current time is not included in the use time zone of the remote service, the processor is configured to count a time from a time point when the power supply cut-off notification information of the battery is transmitted, and when the counted time elapses a set time, to transmit the power supply cut-off command of the battery to the battery management apparatus, and wherein, when the processor concludes that the current time is included in the use time zone of the remote service, the processor is configured to count the time from the time point when the power supply cut-off notification information of the battery is transmitted, and when the counted time elapses the set time and the additional time, to transmit the power supply cut-off command of the battery to the battery management apparatus.

5 . The vehicle of claim 4 , wherein the additional time is determined using the preset charged amount and a charged amount required for starting the vehicle.

6 . The vehicle of claim 1 , further including a switch connected to the battery,
wherein the battery management apparatus is configured to control an OFF operation of the switch to cut the power supply of the battery off.

7 . The vehicle of claim 1 , further including:
a communicator configured to perform communication with the server, wherein the processor is configured to receive the use time information of the remote service from the server and to store the received use time information of the remote service in the memory.

8 . The vehicle of claim 1 , further including:
a communicator configured to perform communication with the server, wherein the processor is configured to receive the big data from the server, to obtain use information of the remote service based on the received big data, to obtain the use time information of the remote service based on the obtained use information of the remote service, and to store the obtained use time information of the remote service in the memory.

9 . The vehicle of claim 1 , further including:
a communicator configured to perform communication with the server, wherein the processor is configured to receive use information of the remote service from the server, to obtain the use time information of the remote service based on the received use information of the remote service, and to store the obtained use time information of the remote service in the memory.

10 . The vehicle of claim 1 , further including:
a communicator configured to perform communication with the user terminal and the server, wherein the processor is configured to control a remote service mode using the user terminal and to transmit use information of the remote service while the remote service mode is performed to the server.
