DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0010] Hereinafter, specific embodiments to which the present disclosure is applied will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, the present disclosure is not limited to the following embodiments, and the following description and drawings are appropriately simplified.

[0011] <Embodiment 1> Fig. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a control system of the power supply system of the present embodiment. Fig. 2 is a perspective view showing a representative example of a power supply device of the power supply system of the present embodiment. As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the power supply system 1 of the present embodiment includes a power supply device 2, an IC (Integrated Circuit) tag 3, a setting unit 4, a reader / writer unit 5, a storage unit 6, and a control device 7.

[0012] In this embodiment, as shown in Fig. 2, the power supply device 2 is a portable power supply device, and a battery 2b (see Fig. 1) is housed in a housing 2a. The housing 2a is provided with a power supply terminal 2c, such as a USB terminal such as a Universal Serial Bus (USB) Type-A or USB Type-C (registered trademark), an AC (Alternating Current) terminal, or a cigarette lighter socket. The power supply terminal 2c may have a plurality of terminals of the same system. The power supply device 2 is capable of supplying power to the electric device 8 when a connection terminal of the electric device 8 is connected to the power supply terminal 2c.

[0013] The IC tag 3 is a tag with a built-in IC chip capable of communicating, for example, by NFC (Near Field Communication), etc. The IC tag 3 is handed over, for example, from an administrator who manages the power supply device 2 to a user of the electric device 8 who wishes to have the power supply device 2 supply power to the electric device 8.

[0014] The setting unit 4 sets allocation information such that, for example, an administrator who manages the power supply device 2 allocates power supply plan information from the power supply device 2 to each electrical device 8. The setting unit 4 can be configured, for example, as shown in FIG. 2, by a touch panel type display device mounted on the power supply device 2.

[0015] The allocation information includes, for example, setting ID information and power supply plan information. The setting ID information is ID information issued for identifying the electric device 8 every time the allocation information is set. The power supply plan information may include, for example, at least one of information related to the attribute of the electric device 8, the permitted power supply time, the amount of power that can be supplied, the connection method of the electric device 8, the priority, or the expiration date.

[0016] The attribute of the electric device 8 may be, for example, the name of the electric device, such as a smartphone, a PC (Personal Computer), a game machine, an electric fan, a heater, etc. The permitted power supply time may be, for example, a time period during which the power supply device 2 can be used in a day, or the maximum number of hours during which the power supply device 2 can be used.

[0017] The amount of power that can be supplied may be, for example, a maximum amount of power that can be supplied, a total amount of power that can be supplied, etc. The connection method of the electric device 8 may be, for example, any of a USB terminal, an AC terminal, or a cigarette lighter, which are typical examples of the power supply terminal 2c used when supplying power to the electric device 8.

[0018] The priority may be, for example, an order of electric devices 8 to which power is preferentially supplied when a plurality of electric devices 8 are connected to the power supply device 2. In addition, the priority may be, for example, a limit amount that limits the above-mentioned power supply permission time or the amount of power that can be supplied according to the priority order of the plurality of electric devices 8 when a plurality of electric devices 8 are connected to the power supply device 2.

[0019] The expiration date may be, for example, a period of time in days, weeks, months, or years during which the power supply device 2 can be used. The attributes of the electric devices 8, the permitted power supply time, the amount of power that can be supplied, the connection method of the electric devices 8, the priority, the expiration date, and the like can be set, for example, by an administrator who manages the power supply device 2 via the setting unit 4.

[0020] The reader / writer unit 5 writes and issues allocation information including the power supply plan information and setting ID information set via the setting unit 4 to the IC tag 3, and reads the allocation information from the IC tag 3. The reader / writer unit 5 may be mounted in the power supply device 2, for example, as shown in FIG.

[0021] The storage unit 6 stores, for example, allocation information including power supply plan information and setting ID information set by an administrator who manages the power supply device 2 via the setting unit 4. The storage unit 6 may be mounted in the power supply device 2, for example, as shown in FIG.

[0022] 1, the control device 7 may include a switching unit 7a, an acquisition unit 7b, an authentication unit 7c, and a control unit 7d, and may be mounted on the power supply device 2. The switching unit 7a switches the power supply mode of the power supply device 2 between a limited mode and a normal mode.

[0023] The limited mode is a mode in which power supply control to the electric device 8 connected to the power supply terminal 2c of the power supply device 2 is performed based on the above-mentioned allocation information. The normal mode is a mode in which power supply control to the electric device 8 is performed not based on the above-mentioned allocation information, i.e., without limiting power supply to the electric device 8.

[0024] The acquisition unit 7b acquires the allocation information read through the reader / writer unit 5. The authentication unit 7c authenticates the IC tag 3 to which the allocation information has been issued, based on the setting ID information of the allocation information read through the reader / writer unit 5 and the setting ID information of the allocation information read from the storage unit 6. The control unit 7d controls the battery 2b to supply power to the electric device 8 based on the power supply mode of the power supply device 2. More specifically, the control unit 7d controls the power supply control unit (not shown) to control the power supply from the battery 2b to each power supply terminal 2c, and controls the on / off of the power supply. Note that, in this embodiment, the description is given assuming that the power supply device 2 is operated independently, but it is well known that when the power supply device 2 is connected to an arbitrary commercial power source, the charging of the battery 2b and the stable power supply to the power supply terminal 2c can be appropriately controlled according to the power obtained from the commercial power source.

[0025] Next, a flow of supplying power to an electric device 8 using the power supply system 1 of this embodiment will be described. Fig. 3 is a flow chart illustrating a flow of supplying power to an electric device using the power supply system of this embodiment. Here, in the following description, it is assumed that the power supply mode of the power supply device 2 is set to the limited mode in advance.

[0026] First, a user of an electrical device 8 who wishes to have power supplied from a power supply device 2 to the electrical device 8 requests power supply to the electrical device 8 from an administrator who manages the power supply device 2. Then, the administrator who manages the power supply device 2 sets allocation information via the setting unit 4 of the power supply device 2 (S1).

[0027] At this time, for example, a portable game machine can be set as the attribute of the electrical device 8, 60 minutes from 15:00 to 16:00 on June 16, 2023 as the permitted power supply time, a maximum power supply amount of 20 W and a total power supply amount of 2000 mWh as the power supplyable amount, and a USB terminal can be set as the connection method of the electrical device 8. In this way, the allocation information of the electrical device 8 is set. At the same time, the storage unit 6 stores the allocation information.

[0028] Next, the administrator who manages the power supply device 2 brings the IC tag 3 close to the reader / writer unit 5. The reader / writer unit 5 reads the allocation information from the storage unit 6, writes the allocation information into the IC tag 3, and issues it (S2). Then, the administrator who manages the power supply device 2 hands the IC tag 3 to the user of the electrical equipment 8.

[0029] Next, when power is supplied from the power supply device 2 to the electric device 8, the user of the electric device 8 brings the IC tag 3 close to the reader / writer unit 5. The reader / writer unit 5 reads the allocation information from the IC tag 3 (S3). As a result, the acquisition unit 7b of the control device 7 acquires the allocation information read via the reader / writer unit 5.

[0030] The authentication unit 7c of the control device 7 reads the allocation information from the memory unit 6, and authenticates the IC tag 3 to which the allocation information has been issued based on the setting ID information of the allocation information read from the memory unit 6 and the setting ID information of the allocation information read via the reader / writer unit 5 (S4).

[0031] If authentication of the IC tag 3 fails (NO in S4), even if the user connects the connection terminal of the electrical equipment 8 to the power supply terminal 2c of the power supply device 2, the control unit 7d of the control device 7 controls the battery 2b so that power is not supplied from the power supply device 2 to the electrical equipment 8 (S5).

[0032] On the other hand, if the authentication of the IC tag 3 is successful (YES in S4), when the user connects the connection terminal of the electric device 8 to a predetermined power supply terminal 2c of the power supply device 2, the control unit 7d of the control device 7 controls the battery 2b so that power is supplied from the power supply device 2 to the electric device 8 based on the allocation information (S6). Here, the "predetermined power supply terminal 2c" refers to any one or more power supply terminals 2c corresponding to the information on the connection method of the electric device 8 in the allocation information. In addition, the connection method is not limited to one method. For example, even if the physical shapes of the connection terminals are different, such as USB Type-A and USB Type-C, if they can be handled in the same way by connecting them through an arbitrary conversion cable, the power supply terminal 2c that takes these into consideration may be targeted, and the selection may be made when setting the allocation information, or may be made switchable by a user operation.

[0033] In this case, for example, as shown in FIG. 2, if the power supply device 2 is provided with a notification unit 2d such as an LED (Light Emitting Diode) for each power supply terminal 2c of the power supply device 2, the control unit 7d of the control device 7 may, based on information regarding the connection method of the electrical device 8 in the allocation information, light up the notification unit 2d near the power supply terminal 2c to which the electrical device 8 in the power supply device 2 is connected, to notify the user of the electrical device 8 of the power supply device 2 of the power supply terminal 2c to which the electrical device 8 is connected.

[0034] However, the notification unit 2d may notify the user of the power supply terminal 2c to which the electrical device 8 in the power supply device 2 is connected by voice, or may notify the user by explicitly indicating on the setting unit 4 the power supply terminal 2c to which the electrical device 8 in the power supply device 2 is connected, and any means of notifying the user may be used.

[0035] In this way, the power supply system 1 and the control device 7 of this embodiment control the power supply to the electric device 8 connected to the power supply terminal 2c of the power supply device 2 based on the issued allocation information. Therefore, it is possible to supply power in a planned manner to the electric device 8 linked to the IC tag 3 for which the allocation information has been issued.

[0036] In particular, when the power supply plan information of the allocation information is set in detail by combining, for example, information regarding the attributes of the electrical equipment 8, the permitted power supply time, the amount of power that can be supplied, the connection method of the electrical equipment, the priority, or the expiration date, power can be supplied to the electrical equipment 8 in a planned manner in accordance with the electrical equipment 8 connected to the power supply device 2 in order to effectively utilize the limited power of the battery 2b of the power supply device 2.

[0037] In this embodiment, the power supply plan information is written in the IC tag 3 as the allocation information in addition to the setting ID information, but only the setting ID information may be written in the IC tag 3 as the allocation information. In this case, after the authentication of the IC tag 3 is successful, the control unit 7d of the control device 7 may control the battery 2b so that power is supplied from the power supply device 2 to the electric device 8 based on the allocation information read from the storage unit 6.

[0038] In this embodiment, the storage unit 6 is mounted on the power supply device 2, but some or all of the functions of the storage unit 6 may be configured by an external database. In this embodiment, the control device 7 is mounted on the power supply device 2, but some or all of the functions of the control device 7 may be configured by an external server.

[0039] In addition, in this embodiment, an administrator who manages the power supply device 2 sets the attributes of the electrical device 8 via the setting unit 4, but for example, if the power supply terminal 2c of the power supply device 2 is configured as a terminal having a communication function such as USB Type-C, information regarding the attributes of the electrical device 8 may be obtained via the power supply terminal 2c.

[0040] In addition, in the present embodiment, the power supply modes of the power supply device 2 include the normal mode and the limited mode, but the power supply device 2 may have only the limited mode. In this case, the switching unit 7a of the control device 7 may be omitted.

[0041] In addition, in this embodiment, the authentication unit 7c of the control device 7 authenticates the IC tag 3, but when the reader / writer unit 5 reads allocation information from the IC tag 3, strict authentication of the IC tag 3 is not essential, and the control unit 7d of the control device 7 may control the battery 2b so that power is supplied from the power supply device 2 to the electric device 8 based on the allocation information. In other words, the authentication unit 7c of the control device 7 may be omitted.

[0042] <Embodiment 2> Fig. 4 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a control system of the power supply system of this embodiment. The power supply system 21 of this embodiment has a configuration substantially the same as that of the power supply system 1 of the embodiment, but as shown in Fig. 4, in response to a request for power supply from the power supply device 2 to the electric appliance 22 inputted by the user of the electric appliance 22 via the mobile terminal 23, an issuing unit 24a of the server 24 issues allocation information to the user's mobile terminal 23. In the following description, descriptions that overlap with the first embodiment will be omitted.

[0043] 4, the power supply system 21 includes a power supply device 2, a mobile terminal 23, a server 24, a reader unit 25, a database 26, and a control device 27. The mobile terminal 23 is an information device such as a smartphone carried by a user of the electric device 22, and is connected to a network 28 such as the Internet.

[0044] The user, for example, operates an app via the mobile terminal 23 to request power supply from the power supply device 2 to the electric device 22. At this time, the user may input attributes of the electric device 22 via the mobile terminal 23, for example.

[0045] The server 24 is connected to the network 28 as shown in Fig. 4. The server 24 includes an issuing unit 24a that issues allocation information in response to a request from a user of the electric device 22 who wishes to have power supplied from the power supply device 2 to the electric device 22.

[0046] The issuing unit 24a, for example, reads out the power supply plan information set for each electric appliance 22 from the database 26, and derives the power supply plan information corresponding to the electric appliance 22 based on the attributes of the electric appliance 22 owned by the user.

[0047] The issuing unit 24a, for example, sets passcode information such as a two-dimensional code as setting ID information in response to a request from a user of the electric device 22, and issues allocation information by linking the passcode information with power supply plan information of the electric device 22. Then, the issuing unit 24a transmits the allocation information to the mobile terminal 23 and the database 26 carried by the user of the electric device 22.

[0048] The reader unit 25 reads the allocation information issued to the user, for example, when the mobile terminal 23 carried by the user of the electrical device 22 is brought close to the reader unit 25. The reader unit 25 may be mounted on the power supply device 2 as shown in FIG.

[0049] The database 26 is connected to the network 28 as shown in Fig. 4. The database 26 stores, for example, power supply plan information that is set in advance for each attribute of the electric device 22 and allocation information issued by the issuing unit 24a of the server 24. Note that the power supply plan information for each attribute of the electric device 22 may be set as appropriate by, for example, an administrator who manages the power supply device 2.

[0050] 4, the control device 27 is connected to a network 28. The control device 27 includes an acquisition unit 27a, an authentication unit 27b, and a control unit 27c. The acquisition unit 27a acquires allocation information read via the reader unit 25.

[0051] The authentication unit 27b authenticates the user to whom the allocation information is issued, based on the passcode information of the allocation information read through the reader unit 25 and the passcode information of the allocation information read from the database 26. The control unit 27c controls the battery 2b to supply power to the electric device 22 based on the allocation information. The detailed control of the battery 2b by the control unit 27c is omitted here because it is similar to that described above.

[0052] Next, a flow of supplying power to electric device 22 using power supply system 21 of the present embodiment will be described. Fig. 5 is a flow chart diagram illustrating a flow of supplying power to electric device using the power supply system of the present embodiment.

[0053] First, a user of the electric appliance 22 who wishes to supply power from the power supply device 2 to the electric appliance 22 operates an app via the mobile terminal 23 to request power supply from the power supply device 2 to the electric appliance 22. This power supply request corresponds to a right of use granted to the user. Then, the issuing unit 24a of the server 24 issues allocation information corresponding to the electric appliance 22, and transmits the allocation information to the mobile terminal 23 and the database 26 possessed by the user of the electric appliance 22 (S11).

[0054] Next, when power is supplied from the power supply device 2 to the electric device 22, the user of the electric device 22 brings the mobile terminal 23 carried by the user of the electric device 22 close to the reader unit 25. The reader unit 25 reads the allocation information from the mobile terminal 23 (S12). As a result, the acquisition unit 27a of the control device 27 acquires the allocation information read via the reader unit 25.

[0055] The authentication unit 27b of the control device 27 reads out the allocation information from the database 26, and authenticates the user to whom the allocation information was issued based on the passcode information of the read out allocation information and the passcode information of the allocation information read through the reader unit 25 (S13).

[0056] If user authentication fails (NO in S13), even if the user connects the connection terminal of the electrical device 22 to the power supply terminal 2c of the power supply device 2, the control unit 27c of the control device 27 controls the battery 2b so that power is not supplied from the power supply device 2 to the electrical device 22 (S14).

[0057] On the other hand, if the user authentication is successful (YES in S13), when the user connects the connection terminal of the electrical device 22 to a specified power supply terminal 2c of the power supply device 2, the control unit 27c of the control device 27 controls the battery 2b so that power is supplied from the power supply device 2 to the electrical device 22 based on the allocation information (S15).

[0058] In this manner, the power supply system 21 and the control device 27 of the present embodiment also control the power supply to the electric devices 22 connected to the power supply terminals 2c of the power supply device 2 based on the issued allocation information. Therefore, it is possible to systematically supply power only to the electric devices 22 for which allocation information has been issued.

[0059] Particularly, in the power supply system 21 of the present embodiment, for example, the issuing unit 24a of the server 24 issues allocation information, transmits the allocation information to the mobile terminal 23 carried by the user of the electric device 22, and authenticates the user using the mobile terminal 23. Therefore, the IC tag 3 used in the power supply system 1 of the first embodiment can be omitted.

[0060] Moreover, the issuing unit 24a of the server 24 reads out the power supply plan information set for each electric appliance 22 from the database 26, and derives the power supply plan information corresponding to the electric appliance 22 owned by the user based on the attributes of the electric appliance 22. Therefore, it is possible to omit the administrator who manages the power supply device 2 from setting the power supply plan information via the setting unit 4 every time power supply to an electric appliance is requested, as in the first embodiment.

[0061] In this embodiment, a two-dimensional code or the like is used as the passcode information, but for example, an n-digit numeric string (n is an integer) may be used as the passcode information. In this case, the user of the electrical device 22 may input the passcode information via a simple input unit such as a numeric keypad mounted on the power supply device 2. Furthermore, the passcode information is not limited to this, and may be in a form that ensures confidentiality, such as a password.

[0062] In addition, in the present embodiment, in addition to the passcode information, the power supply plan information is transmitted to the mobile terminal 23 as the allocation information, but only the passcode information may be transmitted as the allocation information to the mobile terminal 23. In this case, after the user authentication is successful, the control unit 27c of the control device 27 may control the battery 2b so that power is supplied from the power supply device 2 to the electric device 22 based on the allocation information read from the database 26.

[0063] In addition, in this embodiment, the authentication unit 27b of the control device 27 authenticates the user, but when the reader unit 25 reads the allocation information from the mobile terminal 23, the control unit 27c of the control device 27 may control the battery 2b so that power is supplied from the power supply device 2 to the electric device 22 based on the allocation information without authenticating the user. That is, the authentication unit 27b of the control device 27 may be omitted.

[0064] Here, assuming a case where the network 28 becomes unable to communicate due to a disaster or the like, a known data synchronization method may be used to store in the storage unit of the power supply device 2 power supply plan information preset for each attribute of the electric devices stored in the database 26 and allocation information issued by the issuing unit 24a of the server 24. In addition, the database 26 may be mounted in the power supply device 2.

[0065] In addition, a service may be provided in which a user of the electric device 22 is charged each time the user desires power supply from the power supply device 2 to the electric device 22, or according to the planned / resulting amount of power supply. In addition, power supply from a plurality of power supply devices 2 may be centrally managed by the server 24.

[0066] <Other embodiments> An embodiment will be described in which power supply to a plurality of electrical devices is controlled based on information regarding the priority of power supply plan information in the allocation information. For example, the priority is set according to the user. In detail, for example, the owner or manager of the power supply device 2 always sets the priority to "high," adult family members of the owner or manager of the power supply device 2 set the priority to "medium," and underage family members or third parties of the owner or manager of the power supply device 2 set the priority to "low."

[0067] In this case, when multiple electrical devices are simultaneously connected to the power supply device 2, power is supplied preferentially to electrical devices connected by users with a "high" priority. Note that, in order to suppress nonstop use by users with a relatively high priority, when the connection terminal of an electrical device is unplugged from the power supply terminal 2c of the power supply device 2, it is advisable to control the power supply device 2 so that power supply to the electrical device is not permitted for a certain period of time.

[0068] For example, if the power supply terminal 2c of the power supply device 2 is configured as a terminal having a communication function such as USB Type-C, when the connection terminals of multiple electrical devices are connected to the power supply terminal 2c, priorities may be set so that the amount of power that can be supplied is limited for each attribute of the electrical device using information such as the terminal name obtained by the communication function.

[0069] In detail, for example, if the electrical device is a PC, the priority is set to "high" so that the maximum amount of power that can be supplied is limited to 65 W when multiple electrical devices are connected to the power supply device 2, if the electrical device is a smartphone, the priority is set to "medium" so that the maximum amount of power that can be supplied is limited to 10 W when multiple electrical devices are connected to the power supply device 2, and if the electrical device is an entertainment device such as a music player that has little impact on the lifeline, the priority is set to "low" so that the maximum amount of power that can be supplied is limited to 0 W when multiple electrical devices are connected to the power supply device 2. In this way, when multiple electrical devices are connected to the power supply device 2, the priority can be appropriately set for each attribute of the electrical device and power can be supplied.

[0070] For example, the priority may be set according to the type of the power supply terminal 2c of the power supply device 2. In detail, for example, when electrical devices are connected to a USB terminal and an AC terminal constituting the power supply terminal 2c of the power supply device 2, the priority may be set so that the electrical device connected to the USB terminal having a communication function is given priority in power supply over the electrical device connected to the AC terminal. It is difficult to control the power supply with the traditional AC terminal because it is difficult to specify in advance the power consumption of the connected electrical device. When multiple electrical devices are connected, unexpected connection problems such as excessive power supply can be preferably prevented by giving priority to the terminal that can grasp the specifications of the electrical devices via the communication function.

[0071] In the above embodiment, the present disclosure has been described as a hardware configuration, but the present disclosure is not limited to this. Any process of the present disclosure can be realized by causing a CPU (Central Processing Unit) to execute a computer program.

[0072] The program includes a set of instructions (or software code) that, when loaded into a computer, causes the computer to perform one or more functions described in the embodiments. The program may be stored in a non-transitory computer-readable medium or a tangible storage medium. By way of example and not limitation, the computer-readable medium or tangible storage medium includes random-access memory (RAM), read-only memory (ROM), flash memory, solid-state drive (SSD) or other memory technology, CD-ROM, digital versatile disc (DVD), Blu-ray® disk or other optical disk storage, magnetic cassette, magnetic tape, magnetic disk storage or other magnetic storage device. The program may be transmitted on a transitory computer-readable medium or communication medium.
