Image for setting the charging schedule

Abstract

The images relating to this design application are used for setting the charging schedule of an electric vehicle. The image shown in "Figure 1" is used for manually setting the charging time zone. The charging time zone is set by adjusting the range of the thick curve displayed on the ring-shaped image. "Figure 1 showing the state of change" shows the state after the charging time zone has been changed. The image shown in "Figure 2" is displayed when automatic setting of the charging time zone is selected. The horizontal strip image shown in "Figure 2" represents each day of the week. Each part of the horizontal strip image is displayed in a color corresponding to the electricity rate for each time zone. The electricity rate for each time zone varies depending on the contract, etc. When automatic setting of the charging time zone is selected, the time zone with the lowest electricity rate is set as the charging time zone. The highlighted time zone indicates the time zone when the next charging will take place, based on the current time. If the time zone when the next charging will take place spans across two days, multiple horizontal strip images are displayed thickly as shown in "Figure 2," and if it does not span across two days, one horizontal strip image is displayed thickly as shown in "Figure 2 showing the state of change."
