This order information is generated in advance by the ordering application of the mobile terminal device 10 based on an instruction from a user. The default remaining amount is information used to determine the remaining amount of energy. Specific examples of the default remaining amount include a remaining amount common to all users, a remaining amount individually set by a user, etc.

[0037] In addition, when the relay device 20 determines that the remaining energy in the energy storage device of the mobile device 60 is less than or equal to a predetermined remaining amount, the order information transmitting unit 105 transmits a purchase amount setting request to set a predetermined amount, which is an amount corresponding to a predetermined amount of energy to be supplied to the energy storage device, as the energy purchase amount for purchasing energy.

[0038] The cancellation request unit 106 is a program for canceling the setting of the order information related to the supply of energy and the energy purchasing amount. Specifically, the cancellation request unit 106 requests the cancellation of the order information when it is determined that the location of the mobile terminal device 10 is outside a predetermined range.

[0055] 10 and 11 are sequence diagrams showing an example of processing executed in the ordering system 1 and the energy supply system 50. Fig. 10 and Fig. 11 show an example of processing executed when the mobile terminal device 10 is located near an energy supply facility where the energy supply device 52 is installed.

[0056] In step S1, the mobile terminal device 10 receives a positioning signal transmitted by a positioning satellite. In step S2, the mobile terminal device 10 generates location information of the mobile terminal device 10 based on the received positioning signal. In step S3, the mobile terminal device 10 receives a signal (hereinafter, referred to as a "beacon signal") transmitted by a wireless communication device installed in an energy supply facility.

[0057] In step S4, the ordering application of the mobile terminal device 10 determines whether or not the location indicated by the location information of the mobile terminal device 10 is included in a predetermined range. The ordering application also determines whether or not the mobile terminal device 10 has received a beacon signal. If the ordering application determines that the location indicated by the location information of the mobile terminal device 10 is included in a predetermined range and that the mobile terminal device 10 has received a beacon signal, the processing from step S5 onward is executed.

[0058] In step S5, the mobile terminal device 10 transmits a remaining capacity determination request to the relay device 20 to cause the relay device 20 to determine the remaining capacity of the energy storage device included in the mobile device 60, together with the user identification information of the user of the mobile terminal device 10 and threshold information indicating a preset remaining capacity. The mobile terminal device 10 can transmit either the remaining capacity common to all users or the remaining capacity individually set by the user.

[0059] When the relay device 20 receives the remaining amount determination request from the mobile terminal device 10, in step S6, the relay device 20 transmits a request for remaining amount information of the energy storage device together with the user identification information of the user to the device information management device 30. The remaining amount information of the energy storage device is information that indicates the remaining amount of the energy storage device.

[0060] When the device information management device 30 receives the request for the remaining amount information of the energy storage device from the relay device 20, the device information management device 30 refers to the device information table in step S7 and acquires the remaining amount information associated with the received user identification information. In step S8, the device information management device 30 transmits the remaining amount information to the relay device 20.

[0061] When the relay device 20 receives the remaining amount information from the device information management device 30, the relay device 20 determines in step S9 whether the remaining amount indicated by the remaining amount information is equal to or less than the predetermined remaining amount indicated by the threshold information received from the mobile terminal device .

[0062] In step S10, the relay device 20 transmits the result of the determination of the remaining amount to the mobile terminal device 10. The result of the determination of the remaining amount includes a result that the remaining amount is equal to or less than a preset remaining amount, and a result that the remaining amount exceeds the preset remaining amount. In step S11, the order application of the mobile terminal device 10 determines whether or not to transmit order information and a request to set the energy purchase amount by determining the result of the remaining amount. Here, if the result of the determination is that the remaining amount is equal to or less than the preset remaining amount, the processing from step S12 onward is executed.

[0063] In step S12, the electronic money management application of the mobile terminal device 10 transmits a request for setting an amount for energy purchase to the relay device 20 together with the order information and the user identification information.

[0064] When the relay device 20 receives the order information, the energy purchase amount setting request, and the user identification information from the mobile terminal device 10, in step S13, the relay device 20 associates the order information with the user identification information and stores them in the storage device 220. In step S14, the relay device 20 transmits the energy purchase amount setting request to the electronic money management device 40 together with the predetermined amount information and the user identification information.

[0065] When the electronic money management device 40 receives a request to set the energy purchasing amount from the relay device 20, it executes a purchasing amount setting process in step S15. Specifically, the electronic money management device 40 associates the amount indicated by the received predetermined amount information with the received user identification information and sets it as the energy purchasing amount in the electronic money management table. The electronic money management device 40 also refers to the electronic money management table, subtracts the amount indicated by the predetermined amount information from the balance of the user associated with the received user identification information, and associates the amount after subtraction with the user identification information and sets it as the balance amount in the electronic money management table.

[0066] In step S16, electronic money management device 40 transmits a setting completion notification to relay device 20 to notify that setting of the purchase amount has been completed. Upon receiving the setting completion notification from electronic money management device 40, relay device 20 transmits the setting completion notification to mobile terminal device 10 in step S17. Upon receiving the setting completion notification from relay device 20, mobile terminal device 10 executes standby processing in step S18. Details of the standby processing will be described later with reference to FIG.

[0067] FIG. 12 is a sequence diagram showing another example of the processing executed in the order system 1 and the energy supply system 50. As shown in FIG.

[0068] In step S20, the mobile terminal device 10 scans the two-dimensional code in accordance with an instruction from the user. This two-dimensional code may be attached to the energy supply device 52, for example. Alternatively, the energy supply device 52 may display the code on a display unit such as a display provided in the energy supply device 52. After scanning the two-dimensional code, the mobile terminal device 10 transmits user identification information of the user of the mobile terminal device 10 to the relay device 20 in step S21.

[0069] In step S22, the relay device 20 uses the user identification information transmitted by the mobile terminal device 10 in step S21 to obtain order information associated with the user identification information stored in the memory device 220 of the relay device 20, and transmits the order information and user identification information to the POS terminal 51 of the energy supply system 50.

[0070] When the POS terminal 51 receives the order information and the user identification information, in step S23, it transmits an energy supply instruction based on the order information to the energy supply device 52. When the energy supply device 52 receives the energy supply instruction from the POS terminal 51, it supplies a predetermined amount of energy to the mobile device 60 in step S24.

[0071] When the supply of energy to the mobile device 60 is completed, in step S25, the energy supply device 52 sends to the POS terminal 51 a supply completion notification indicating that the supply of energy to the mobile device 60 has been completed, and supply amount information indicating the amount of energy supplied to the mobile device 60.

[0072] When the POS terminal 51 receives the supply completion notification and the supply amount information from the energy supply device 52, in step S26, it calculates the amount corresponding to the energy supplied to the mobile device 60 based on the amount of energy supplied indicated by the supply amount information and the amount per unit amount of energy.

[0073] In step S27, the POS terminal 51 transmits amount information indicating the amount calculated in step S26 and the user identification information received from the mobile terminal device 10 to the relay device 20. Upon receiving the amount information and user identification information from the POS terminal 51, the relay device 20 transmits the amount information and user identification information to the electronic money management device 40 in step S28.

[0074] When the electronic money management device 40 receives the amount information and the user identification information from the relay device 20, it executes a settlement process based on the amount information and the user identification information in step S29. Specifically, the electronic money management device 40 refers to the electronic money management table, and subtracts the amount indicated by the received amount information from the energy purchasing amount associated with the received user identification information.

[0075] In step S30, the electronic money management device 40 transmits a payment completion notification to the relay device 20 to notify the completion of the payment for the energy purchase. Upon receiving the payment completion notification from the electronic money management device 40, the relay device 20 transmits a payment completion notification to the mobile terminal device 10 in step S31.

[0076] 13 is a flowchart showing an example of processing executed by the mobile terminal device 10. In step S40, the reception determination unit 101 of the mobile terminal device 10 determines whether or not the positioning signal transmitted by the positioning satellite has been received. If it is determined that the positioning signal has not been received (NO), the processing of step S40 is executed again. If it is determined that the positioning signal has been received (YES), in step S41, the location information generation unit 102 of the mobile terminal device 10 generates location information of the mobile terminal device 10 based on the received positioning signal.

[0077] In step S42, the position determination unit 103 of the mobile terminal device 10 determines whether or not the position indicated by the position information of the mobile terminal device 10 is within a predetermined range based on the position of the energy supply device 52. If it is determined that the position of the mobile terminal device 10 is not within the predetermined range (NO), the process returns to step S40. On the other hand, if it is determined that the position of the mobile terminal device 10 is within the predetermined range (YES), the process branches to step S43.

[0078] In step S43, the reception determination unit 101 of the mobile terminal device 10 determines whether or not a beacon signal transmitted by a beacon installed in the energy supply facility has been received. If it is determined that a beacon signal has not been received (NO), the process returns to step S40. On the other hand, if it is determined that a beacon signal has been received (YES), the process branches to step S44.

[0079] In step S44, the remaining amount determination requesting unit 104 of the mobile terminal device 10 transmits a remaining amount determination request together with the user identification information of the user to the relay device 20. In step S45, the remaining amount determination requesting unit 104 determines whether or not a remaining amount determination result has been received from the relay device 20 as a response to the remaining amount determination request. If it is determined that a remaining amount determination result has not been received from the relay device 20 (NO), the process of step S45 is executed again. On the other hand, if it is determined that a remaining amount determination result has been received from the relay device 20 (YES), the process branches to step S46.

[0080] In step S46, the remaining amount determination request unit 104 determines whether the result of the determination of the remaining amount by the relay device 20 indicates that the remaining amount is equal to or less than the default remaining amount. If the result indicates that the remaining amount by the relay device 20 exceeds the default remaining amount (NO), the process returns to step S40. On the other hand, if the result indicates that the remaining amount by the relay device 20 exceeds the default remaining amount (YES), the process branches to step S47. In step S47, the order information transmission unit 105 transmits the order information and the purchase amount setting request together with the user identification information of the user to the relay device 20, and the process of FIG. 13 ends.

[0081] 14 is a flowchart showing an example of a standby process executed by the mobile terminal device 10. In step S50, the reception determination unit 101 of the mobile terminal device 10 determines whether or not a positioning signal transmitted by a positioning satellite has been received. If it is determined that a positioning signal has not been received (NO), the process of step S50 is executed again. If it is determined that a positioning signal has been received (YES), in step S51, the location information generation unit 102 of the mobile terminal device 10 generates location information of the mobile terminal device 10 based on the received positioning signal.

[0082] In step S52, the position determination unit 103 of the mobile terminal device 10 determines whether or not the position indicated by the position information of the mobile terminal device 10 is within a predetermined range based on the position of the energy supply device 52. If it is determined that the position of the mobile terminal device 10 is outside the predetermined range (NO), the process branches to step S53.

[0083] In step S53, the cancellation request unit 106 transmits a cancellation request together with the user identification information to the relay device 20, and the processing of FIG. 14 ends. When the relay device 20 receives the cancellation request and the user identification information from the mobile terminal device 10, it deletes the order information associated with the user identification information from the order information stored in the storage device 220 of the relay device 20. In addition, the relay device 20 transmits a cancellation request for the setting of the purchasing amount together with the user identification information to the electronic money management device 40. When the electronic money management device 40 receives the cancellation request for the setting of the purchasing amount and the user identification information from the relay device 20, it cancels the purchasing amount setting process executed for the user indicated by the user identification information. Specifically, the electronic money management device 40 returns the information in the electronic money management table of the user to the state before the purchasing amount setting process was executed.

[0084] On the other hand, if it is determined in step S52 that the location of the mobile terminal device 10 is within the predetermined range (YES), the process branches to step S54. In step S54, the reception determination unit 101 of the mobile terminal device 10 determines whether or not a payment completion notification has been received from the relay device 20. If it is determined that a payment completion notification has not been received (NO), the process returns to step S50. On the other hand, if it is determined that a payment completion notification has been received (YES), the process of FIG. 14 ends.

[0085] FIG. 15 is a block diagram showing main components included in the ordering system 1. The ordering system 1 includes a position determination unit 103, a remaining amount acquisition unit 202, a remaining amount determination unit 203, and an order information transmission unit 105. The position determination unit 103 determines whether the position of the mobile terminal device 10 is within a predetermined range including the position of the energy supply device 52. When it is determined that the position of the mobile terminal device 10 is within the predetermined range, the remaining amount acquisition unit 202 acquires the remaining amount of the energy storage device provided in the mobile device 60. The remaining amount determination unit 203 determines whether the remaining amount of the energy storage device acquired by the remaining amount acquisition unit 202 is equal to or less than a predetermined remaining amount. When it is determined by the remaining amount determination unit 203 that the remaining amount of the energy storage device is equal to or less than the predetermined remaining amount, the order information transmission unit 105 transmits order information regarding the supply of energy to the mobile device 60.

[0086] As a result, the order information is transmitted without the user having to operate the mobile terminal device 10 in order to place an order for the supply of energy to the mobile device 60. This improves the convenience of the user when placing an order for the supply of energy to the mobile device 60.

[0087] Furthermore, when the position of the mobile terminal device 10 is within a predetermined range including the position of the energy supply device 52, and the remaining amount of energy in the energy storage device of the mobile device 60 is equal to or less than the predetermined remaining amount, the order information is transmitted. As a result, for example, when a user having the mobile terminal device 10 gets on the mobile device 60, and the position of the mobile terminal device 10 and the remaining amount of energy in the energy storage device satisfy the above conditions, the order information is transmitted. In other words, when there is a high possibility of supplying energy to the mobile device 60, the order information is transmitted. This can further improve the convenience for the user.

[0088] In the above-described embodiment, when the remaining amount determination unit 203 determines that the remaining amount of the energy storage device of the mobile device 60 is equal to or less than the predetermined remaining amount, the order information transmission unit 105 further transmits a request to set a predetermined amount, which is an amount corresponding to a predetermined amount of energy to be supplied to the energy storage device, as the energy purchase amount for purchasing energy. When the electronic money management device 40 receives the setting request via the relay device 20, it sets the predetermined amount as the energy purchase amount. As a result, when the location of the mobile terminal device 10 is within a predetermined range including the location of the energy supply device 52 and the remaining amount of the energy storage device provided in the mobile device 60 is equal to or less than the predetermined remaining amount, the predetermined amount is set as the energy purchase amount without the user operating the mobile terminal device 10. This can further improve the convenience for the user.

[0089] Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the position determination unit 103 determines whether the position of the mobile terminal device 10 is outside the predetermined range after the order information transmission unit 105 of the mobile terminal device 10 transmits the order information. When the position determination unit 103 determines that the position of the mobile terminal device 10 is outside the predetermined range, the cancellation request unit 106 requests the cancellation of the order information transmitted by the order information transmission unit 105. As a result, when the position of the mobile terminal device 10 is outside the predetermined range without energy being supplied to the mobile device 60 at the energy supply facility, for example, when the mobile device 60 in which the user who owns the mobile terminal device 10 is riding leaves the energy supply facility, the order information already transmitted is canceled without the user operating the mobile terminal device 10 to cancel the order information. Therefore, the convenience of the user can be further improved.

[0090] Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the cancellation request unit 106 requests cancellation of the requested setting of the energy purchasing amount when the position determination unit 103 determines that the position of the mobile terminal device 10 is outside the predetermined range. As a result, when the mobile terminal device 10 is not supplied with energy at the energy supply facility and the position of the mobile terminal device 10 is outside the predetermined range, for example, when the mobile terminal device 60 ridden by the user who owns the mobile terminal device 10 leaves the energy supply facility, the setting of the energy purchasing amount that has already been executed is canceled without the user operating the mobile terminal device 10 to cancel the setting of the energy purchasing amount. This can further improve the convenience for the user.

[0091] Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the reception determination unit 101 determines whether or not it has received a signal transmitted by a wireless communication device installed in the energy supply facility where the energy supply device 52 is installed. When the position determination unit 103 determines that the position of the mobile terminal device 10 is within a predetermined range, the remaining amount acquisition unit 202 acquires the remaining amount of the energy storage device when the reception determination unit 101 determines that the signal has been received. Then, when the remaining amount determination unit 203 determines that the remaining amount of the energy storage device is equal to or less than the predetermined remaining amount, the order information transmission unit 105 transmits the order information. As a result, when the position of the mobile terminal device 10 is within the predetermined range and the mobile terminal device 10 is within a range in which the signal transmitted by the wireless communication device can be received, in other words, when there is a high possibility that the mobile terminal device 10 will supply energy to the mobile device 60, the order information is transmitted. This can further improve the convenience of the user.

[0092] In the above-described embodiment, the relay device 20 and the electronic money management device 40 are realized as separate devices, but in other embodiments, the relay device 20 and the electronic money management device 40 may be realized by one device. Also, in other embodiments, the mobile terminal device 10 may include a remaining amount acquisition unit 202 and a remaining amount determination unit 203 instead of the relay device 20.

[0093] Furthermore, in other embodiments, the device information management device 30 may be omitted. In this case, the mobile terminal device 10 can obtain the capacity information and the remaining amount information of the mobile device 60 from the mobile device 60 through wireless communication such as short-range wireless communication, and transmit this information to the relay device 20.

[0094] Furthermore, in other embodiments, the mobile terminal device 10 may not execute the process of determining whether or not a beacon signal has been received from a wireless communication device installed in the energy supply facility.

[0095] Furthermore, in another embodiment, if the mobile terminal device 10 does not receive a settlement completion notification from the relay device 20 within a predetermined time (e.g., 15 minutes) after sending a request to set the energy purchase amount and order information to the relay device 20, the mobile terminal device 10 can send a request to cancel the order information and a request to cancel the purchase amount setting to the relay device 20, thereby canceling the order information and the purchase amount setting.

[0096] Furthermore, in another embodiment, the default remaining amount used to determine the remaining amount of the energy storage device of the mobile device 60 may be a value obtained by dividing the distance from the current location of the mobile device 60 to the default destination by the amount of energy consumed by the mobile device per unit distance. This allows the order information to be transmitted when the remaining amount of the energy storage device of the mobile device 60 is equal to or less than the amount required for the mobile device 60 to reach the default destination, thereby further improving the convenience of the user.

[0097] Furthermore, in another embodiment, the reception determination unit 101 can determine whether or not a signal indicating the stop of the driving source of the mobile device 60 has been received. Specific examples of the driving source of the mobile device 60 include a motor and an engine. In this embodiment, when the position of the mobile terminal device 10 is determined to be within a predetermined range, and the reception determination unit 101 determines that a signal indicating the stop of the driving source of the mobile device 60 has been received, the remaining amount acquisition unit 202 acquires the remaining amount of the energy storage device. Then, when the remaining amount determination unit 203 determines that the remaining amount of the energy storage device is equal to or less than the predetermined remaining amount, the order information transmission unit 105 transmits the order information. Therefore, when the position of the mobile terminal device 10 is within the predetermined range and the driving source of the mobile device 60 has stopped, in other words, when there is a high possibility of supplying energy to the mobile device 60, the order information is transmitted. Therefore, the convenience of the user can be further improved.

[0098] Furthermore, in another embodiment, the mobile terminal device 10 may transmit a remaining energy determination request to the relay device 20 when the current location of the mobile terminal device 10 matches a specific location (e.g., within several tens of meters) near an energy supply facility that has been registered in advance.
