Method and apparatus for automatically authenticating electric vehicle charging user based on blockchain

A method of automatically authenticating an electric vehicle (EV) charging user, comprising:

• receiving, by a mobility operator (MO), an authentication identifier from an EV or a user terminal of an EV user;
• generating, by the MO, an account identifier of the EV user based on the authentication identifier;
• generating, by the MO, an individual contract including the authentication identifier, the account identifier, an expiration date of the account identifier, and an activity status of the account identifier on the blockchain on the network;
• and
• transmitting, by the MO, contract information including the account identifier, the expiration date, and the activity status to the EV or the user terminal.

A method of automatically authenticating an electric vehicle (EV) charging user based on a blockchain, the method comprising:

• generating, by the EV, an authentication identifier based on an EV certificate;
• transmitting, by the EV, the authentication identifier to a mobility operator (MO);
• establishing, by the EV, a communication channel with an electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) of a charge point operator (CPO) associated with the MO to transmit and receive signals and data to and from the EVSE;
• transmitting, by the EV, an authorization request message related to an automatic authentication of the EV charging user to the CPO through the communication channel;
• and
• receiving, by the EV, an authorization response message corresponding to the authorization request message from the CPO,
• wherein the MO generates an account identifier based on the authentication identifier, generates an individual contract based on the authentication identifier, the account identifier, an expiration date of the account identifier, and an activity status of the account identifier, and transmits contract information associated with the individual contract to the EV or an EV user.

An automatic authentication apparatus of an electric vehicle (EV) charging user based on a blockchain, the automatic authentication apparatus being associated with at least one of an MO of a CPO, the automatic authentication apparatus comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory storing at least one instruction to be executed by the processor,
• wherein the at least one instruction, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to:
• receive an authentication identifier from an EV or a user terminal of or EV user;
• generate an account identifier of the EV user based on the authentication identifier;
• generate an individual contract, on the blockchain of a network, based on the authentication identifier, the account identifier, an expiration date of the account identifier, and an activity status of the account identifier;
• and
• transmit contract information including the account identifier, the expiration date of the account identifier, and the activity status of the account identifier to the EV or the user terminal.
