Abstract

An information output device (10) comprises an acquisition unit (110) and a generation unit (120). The acquisition unit (110) acquires a return position where a movable body is to be returned, a scheduled return time when the movable body is to be returned, the current position of the movable body, and a current time. When both a first criterion pertaining to the distance from the return position to the current position and a second criterion pertaining to the period from the scheduled return time to the current time are met, a generation unit (120) generates and outputs replenishing information pertaining to the replenishing of the movable body with energy to be used when the movable body moves.
