Information processing device, information processing method, and program

Abstract

This reduces the probability of the vehicle being unable to charge as scheduled, which could disrupt its operation. [Solution] The information processing device 1 includes a storage unit 12 that stores location data indicating the location of a charging facility that can charge the battery of the vehicle V, and drivable distance data indicating the relationship between the remaining power of the battery and the distance that the vehicle V can travel, an acquisition unit 131 that acquires power remaining data indicating the remaining power of the battery, and a planning unit 132 that, by referring to the drivable distance data, identifies the distance that the vehicle V can travel before being charged at the charging facility based on the remaining power data acquired by the acquisition unit 131, and creates a vehicle travel plan that includes information for identifying the charging facility to be charged by the vehicle V and the scheduled date and time of vehicle charging.

Claims

1. A storage unit that stores location data indicating the location of a charging facility that can charge the vehicle's battery, and driving range data indicating the relationship between the remaining power of the battery and the driving distance the vehicle can travel, An acquisition unit that acquires power remaining data indicating the remaining power of the storage battery, A planning unit creates a driving plan for the vehicle, which includes information for identifying the charging equipment to be used for charging the vehicle and the scheduled date and time for charging the vehicle, by referring to the driving range data and determining the distance the vehicle can travel before being charged at the charging equipment, based on the remaining power data obtained by the acquisition unit. It has, The planning unit, when a predetermined time has passed until the scheduled charging date and time, sends a notification to the vehicle indicating the location of the charging equipment and the time when charging should begin. If it determines that there is a possibility that the vehicle may not be able to reach the location of the charging equipment by a predetermined buffer time before the scheduled charging date and time, it sends the notification at the time of the determination, even if it is before the predetermined time before the scheduled charging date and time. Information processing device.

2. The planning unit calculates the time required for the vehicle to travel from its current location to the location of the charging equipment. If the calculated time is longer than the time before the scheduled charging date and time by the buffer time, the unit determines that there is a possibility that the vehicle may not be able to arrive. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1.

3. The aforementioned notification is not output audibly when the vehicle is in operation, and the content of the notification is displayed inside the vehicle. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 or 2.

4. A computer executes Steps include obtaining power level data that indicates the remaining power level of the vehicle's battery, The steps include: creating a vehicle travel plan that includes information for identifying the charging facility to which the vehicle will be charged and the scheduled date and time for charging the vehicle, by referring to mileage data that shows the relationship between the remaining power of the battery and the distance the vehicle can travel, and determining the distance the vehicle can travel with the remaining power indicated by the acquired remaining power data before charging at the charging facility; The steps include: when a predetermined time has passed until the scheduled charging date and time, a notification is sent to the vehicle indicating the location of the charging equipment and the time when charging should begin; if it is determined that the vehicle may not be able to reach the location of the charging equipment by a predetermined buffer time before the scheduled charging date and time, the notification is sent at the time the determination is made, even if it is before the predetermined time before the scheduled charging date and time; An information processing method having

5. On the computer, Steps include obtaining power level data that indicates the remaining power level of the vehicle's battery, The steps include: creating a vehicle travel plan that includes information for identifying the charging facility to which the vehicle will be charged and the scheduled date and time for charging the vehicle, by referring to mileage data that shows the relationship between the remaining power of the battery and the distance the vehicle can travel, and determining the distance the vehicle can travel with the remaining power indicated by the acquired remaining power data before charging at the charging facility; The steps include: when a predetermined time has passed until the scheduled charging date and time, a notification is sent to the vehicle indicating the location of the charging equipment and the time when charging should begin; if it is determined that the vehicle may not be able to reach the location of the charging equipment by a predetermined buffer time before the scheduled charging date and time, the notification is sent at the time the determination is made, even if it is before the predetermined time before the scheduled charging date and time; A program to execute.
