The dedicated circuit is, for example, but is not limited to, an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit). The control unit 23 controls the operation of the entire information processing device 20.

[0029] (System 1 operation flow) The operations of the terminal device 10 and the information processing device 20 in the system 1 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[0030] S100: The control unit 23 of the information processing device 20 receives, from the terminal device 10, information regarding a desire to use a charging service in which a power supply vehicle charges a user vehicle.

[0031] Specifically, a user who wishes to use the on-site charging service inputs information related to a desire to use the charging service using the terminal device 10. The information related to a desire to use the charging service may be input, for example, using an input form displayed on the screen of the terminal device 10, or may be input by opening a site for reserving the on-site charging service in a browser, but is not limited to these, and any input method may be adopted. The control unit 15 of the terminal device 10 transmits the information to the information processing device 20 via the communication unit 11 and the network 30. The control unit 23 receives the information via the communication unit 21.

[0032] The "information regarding a desire to use the charging service" includes, for example, a signal requesting the server to use the charging service.

[0033] S101: The control unit 23 identifies one or more locations that satisfy the conditions for using the charging service based on road information.

[0034] "Road information" is any information that can grasp the road conditions. For example, the road information may include image information of a road. For example, the road information may include one or more of the traffic volume, road width, and accident history of the road, but is not limited to these, and may include any information that can grasp the road conditions.

[0035] The road information may be obtained, for example, from a surveillance camera installed around the road, from the memory unit 22 of the information processing device 20, from another information processing device capable of communicating with the information processing device 20 (for example, a server at a road traffic information center), or a combination of these.

[0036] The "use conditions" may be determined arbitrarily. For example, the use conditions may include that the target location has a size that allows two or more vehicles to be parked adjacently. In such a case, the control unit 23 identifies one or more locations by determining whether the location has a size that allows two or more vehicles to be parked adjacently, using road information such as image information of a road, the road width, the number of lanes, etc.

[0037] For example, when image information is used as the road information, the control unit 23 may identify one or more locations by determining whether or not another vehicle is already parked on the road in the image. For example, when the road width is used as the road information, the control unit 23 may identify one or more locations by determining whether or not the road width is wide enough to allow two vehicles to be parked on the road and one or more other vehicles to pass through. Alternatively, when the number of lanes is used as the road information, the control unit 23 may identify one or more locations by determining whether or not the number of lanes is three or more.

[0038] Furthermore, for example, the use conditions may include that the traffic volume of the target location is less than a predetermined value. In such a case, the control unit 23 identifies one or more locations by using road information such as image information of a road and traffic volume of the road to determine whether the traffic volume of the location is less than a predetermined value. Note that the predetermined value related to the traffic volume may be changeable.

[0039] Furthermore, for example, the use conditions may include that the number of accidents at the target location is less than a predetermined value. In such a case, the control unit 23 uses road information such as the number of accidents on the road to determine whether the number of accidents at the location is less than a predetermined value, thereby identifying one or more locations. Note that the predetermined value related to the number of accidents may be changeable.

[0040] For example, the control unit 23 may specify one or more locations based on the size of the power supply vehicle and / or the size of the user vehicle. Specifically, when the use conditions include a space large enough for two or more vehicles to be parked adjacent to each other, the control unit 23 specifies one or more locations by determining whether or not the road is wide enough for two vehicles to be parked on the road and one or more other vehicles to pass through by further using the information on the size of the power supply vehicle and / or the information on the size of the user vehicle. Note that the control unit 23 may acquire the information on the size of the power supply vehicle and / or the information on the size of the user vehicle from, for example, the storage unit 22 of the information processing device 20, or may receive the information on the size of the power supply vehicle and / or the user vehicle from the terminal device 10 of the power supply vehicle and / or the user vehicle.

[0041] Also, for example, the control unit 23 may specify one or more locations further based on the usage record of the charging service in one or more locations. Specifically, for example, after specifying one or more locations that satisfy the above-mentioned usage conditions of the charging service, the control unit 23 further specifies one or more locations based on whether or not the usage record of the charging service in each of the one or more locations is less than a predetermined value. Note that the control unit 23 may acquire the usage record of the charging service in each of the one or more locations from, for example, the storage unit 22 of the information processing device 20. Also, the predetermined value of the usage record of the charging service may be changeable.

[0042] S102: The control unit 23 transmits information on the identified one or more locations to the terminal device 10.

[0043] Specifically, the control unit 23 transmits information on the identified one or more locations to the terminal device 10 via the communication unit 21 and the network 30.

[0044] S103: The control unit 15 of the terminal device 10 uses the information on one or more locations received from the information processing device 20 to display one or more locations on the screen of the terminal device 10.

[0045] Specifically, the control unit 15 receives information on one or more locations from the information processing device 20 via the communication unit 11 and the network 30. Then, the control unit 15 uses the received information on one or more locations to display one or more locations on the screen of the terminal device 10 in any manner, such as, for example, displaying one or more locations on a map displayed on the screen, or displaying information such as addresses of one or more locations in a list.

[0046] Also, for example, the control unit 15 may use a speaker of the terminal device 10 to output the received information on one or more locations.

[0047] As described above, in the system 1 including the terminal device 10 and the information processing device 20, when the information processing device 20 receives from the terminal device 10 information regarding a desire to use a charging service in which a power supply vehicle charges a user vehicle, the information processing device 20 identifies one or more locations that satisfy the usage conditions of the charging service based on road information. Next, the information processing device 20 transmits information on the identified one or more locations to the terminal device 10. Then, the terminal device 10 uses the information on the one or more locations received from the information processing device 20 to display the one or more locations on the screen of the terminal device 10.

[0048] According to this configuration, the location where the on-demand charging service is available can be confirmed from the terminal device 10, which can reduce the occurrence of inconvenience such as the service not being available at a location specified by the user, thereby improving the convenience of the on-demand charging service. Therefore, according to this embodiment, the technology for supplying power from a power supply vehicle is improved in that the convenience of the on-demand charging service can be improved.

[0049] Although the present disclosure has been described based on the drawings and examples, it should be noted that those skilled in the art may make various modifications and alterations based on the present disclosure. Therefore, it should be noted that these modifications and alterations are included in the scope of the present disclosure. For example, the functions included in each component or step can be rearranged so as not to be logically inconsistent, and multiple components or steps can be combined or divided into one.

[0050] For example, in the above-described embodiment, the configuration and operation of the terminal device 10 and / or the information processing device 20 may be distributed among a plurality of computers that can communicate with each other. Also, for example, an embodiment in which some or all of the components of the information processing device 20 are provided in the terminal device 10 may be possible, and conversely, an embodiment in which some or all of the components of the terminal device 10 are provided in the information processing device 20 may be possible. For example, the terminal device 10 may include some or all of the components of the information processing device 20, and the information processing device 20 may include some or all of the components of the terminal device 10.

[0051] Also, for example, in the above-described embodiment, the terminal device 10 may notify the information processing device 20 of a location selected by the user from one or more locations displayed on the screen as a reserved location for providing the charging service. After that, the information processing device 20 may accept a reservation for the charging service based on the information of the reserved location.

[0052] Specifically, the control unit 15 of the terminal device 10 displays one or more locations received from the information processing device 20 in S103 so that the user can select them by any method including, but not limited to, touching with a finger. Next, the control unit 15 determines the location selected by the user as the reserved location where the charging service is to be performed. The determination may be performed by any method including, but not limited to, pressing an arbitrary button. After the determination, the control unit 15 notifies the information processing device 20 via the communication unit 11 and the network 30 that the location is the reserved location where the charging service is to be performed. The information processing device 20 accepts the reservation for the charging service by a method based on the information of the reserved location including, but not limited to, determining a power supply car to be assigned from the information of the reserved location received from the terminal device 10.

[0053] Also, for example, in the above-described embodiment, the information processing device 20 may repeatedly acquire road information at a predetermined time interval, and based on the latest acquired road information, newly identify one or more locations that satisfy the usage conditions of the charging service, and if the newly identified one or more locations are different from the previously identified one or more locations, notify the terminal device 10 of the newly identified one or more locations.

[0054] The "predetermined time interval" may be any time interval including every second, every 2 seconds, every 5 seconds, every 10 seconds, every minute, every 2 minutes, every 10 minutes, every 30 minutes, every hour, etc. The predetermined time interval may be changeable as appropriate.

[0055] Alternatively, the information processing device 20 may obtain road information in real time.

[0056] Also, for example, in the above-described embodiment, when transmitting information related to a desire to use a charging service, the terminal device 10 may transmit location information of the terminal device 10 to the information processing device 20. The information processing device 20 may further identify one or more locations based on the location information received from the terminal device 10.

[0057] "Location information" may include any information indicating a location, such as an address, latitude and longitude, or the name of a facility.

[0058] Specifically, when transmitting information related to a desire to use the charging service via the communication unit 11 in S100, the control unit 15 of the terminal device 10 transmits location information of the terminal device 10 to the information processing device 20. Any method such as using a GPS can be adopted to acquire the location information of the terminal device 10. The control unit 23 of the information processing device 20 identifies one or more locations that satisfy the usage conditions and are within a predetermined distance from the location of the terminal device 10 received from the terminal device 10.

[0059] Alternatively, the terminal device 10 may specify one or more locations based on the location information of the terminal device 10. In this case, the control unit 15 of the terminal device 10 may display the one or more locations further specified on the screen of the terminal device 10 using the information of the one or more locations received from the information processing device 20 and the location information of the terminal device 10 in S103, without transmitting the location information of the terminal device 10 to the information processing device 20.

[0060] The "predetermined distance" may be any distance including 100 m, 200 m, 500 m, 1 km, 2 km, 5 km, 10 km, etc. The predetermined distance may be changeable. The predetermined distance may also be calculated using the SOC of the user vehicle, which will be described later.

[0061] Also, for example, in the above-described embodiment, when transmitting information related to a desire to use a charging service, the terminal device 10 may notify the information processing device 20 of the SOC of the user vehicle. The information processing device 20 may further identify one or more locations based on the SOC received from the terminal device 10.

[0062] Specifically, when transmitting information related to a desire to use a charging service and location information of the terminal device 10 via the communication unit 11 in S100, the control unit 15 of the terminal device 10 notifies the information processing device 20 of the SOC (State of Charge) of the user vehicle related to the terminal device 10. The control unit 23 of the information processing device 20 determines the cruising distance calculated from the SOC as the above-mentioned predetermined distance. After that, the control unit 23 identifies one or more locations that satisfy the usage conditions and are within a predetermined distance from the location of the terminal device 10 received from the terminal device 10.

[0063] Alternatively, the terminal device 10 may specify one or more locations based on the SOC of the user vehicle. In this case, the control unit 15 of the terminal device 10 may display, on the screen of the terminal device 10 in S103, one or more locations that satisfy the usage conditions and are within a predetermined distance from the location of the terminal device 10 received from the terminal device 10, using the information on one or more locations received from the information processing device 20, the location information of the terminal device 10, and the SOC of the user vehicle, without transmitting the location information of the terminal device 10 to the information processing device 20.

[0064] Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the terminal device 10 may change the display mode of each of the one or more locations in accordance with the recommendation level of each of the one or more locations.

[0065] Specifically, the control unit 23 of the information processing device 20 sets a recommendation level for each of the one or more locations identified in S101. For example, the control unit 23 may set a higher recommendation level for the one or more locations that are less likely to become congested, such as when the one or more locations have a low traffic volume, a wide road width, and / or a large number of lanes, or may set a higher recommendation level for the one or more locations that are less dangerous, such as when the one or more locations have a high usage history and / or a low accident history, but is not limited to these. The recommendation level may be set for each of the one or more locations based on various conditions. The recommendation level set for each of the one or more locations may be included in the information for the one or more locations. In S103, the control unit 15 of the terminal device 10 changes the display mode of each of the one or more locations according to the recommendation level included in the information for the one or more locations, and displays the one or more locations on the screen of the terminal device 10.

[0066] The "display manner" may be various, including but not limited to, display using colors such as red, blue, yellow, etc., display using shapes such as a circle or a double circle, and display using numbers or symbols.

[0067] Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, when the number of one or more locations is less than a specified number, the terminal device 10 may display information suggesting the use of a paid parking lot as a reserved location for providing the charging service.

[0068] The display of information proposing the use of a paid parking lot as a reserved location for the charging service may use information on the paid parking lot stored in the storage unit 14. Alternatively, the control unit 15 of the terminal device 10 may inquire of the information processing device 20 about information proposing the use of the paid parking lot, or may obtain information on the paid parking lot from, for example, a server of a parking lot operator.

[0069] Alternatively, the control unit 23 of the information processing device 20 may determine whether the number of one or more locations is less than a specified number. In this case, the control unit 23 may use the information on the paid parking lots stored in the storage unit 22, or may obtain the information on the paid parking lots from, for example, a server of a parking lot operator.

[0070] The display of information suggesting the use of a paid parking lot as a reservation location for the charging service may be the same as or different from the display method used to display one or more locations.

[0071] The "prescribed number" is an arbitrary integer. The prescribed number may be changeable.

[0072] Also, for example, an embodiment is possible in which a general-purpose computer functions as the information processing device 20 according to the above-described embodiment. Specifically, a program describing the processing contents for realizing each function of the information processing device 20 according to the above-described embodiment is stored in the memory of the general-purpose computer, and the program is read and executed by a processor. Therefore, the present disclosure can also be realized as a program executable by a processor, or a non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores the program.
