[0009] In recent years, there has been an increase in automobiles that are equipped with drive batteries and can run on electricity as an energy source, such as battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs).

[0010] Previously, the value of a used car was generally determined by its year of manufacture and mileage. In recent years, however, systems have been proposed that take into account factors such as the degree of battery deterioration to calculate the value of an electric vehicle.

[0011] On the other hand, even if a vehicle has a battery that has deteriorated to the point that it is not suitable for resale as a used car, if the battery can be recycled, it may be possible to remove the battery and sell it. However, conventional evaluation systems could only calculate the value of the vehicle as a whole, and could not suggest an appropriate recycling method for the battery. To solve this problem, it is necessary to calculate both the value of the target vehicle as a used car and the value of the battery.

[0012] An information processing device according to a first aspect of the present disclosure has a control unit that executes the following: acquiring first data regarding the status of a first vehicle having a driving battery; acquiring second data regarding the status of the driving battery; and calculating an appraisal value for the first vehicle based on the first data and the second data.

[0013] The first data is data regarding the status of the vehicle, typically data used to assess the value of the first vehicle as a used vehicle, such as the vehicle model, mileage, and year. The second data is data related to the status of the drive battery of the first vehicle. The second data includes data for identifying the model of the battery, as well as data related to the deterioration state of the battery, typically the SoH (State of Health) value, the number of charge / discharge cycles, and the maximum output value. It may also include the following. The control unit uses these two types of data together to calculate the valuation of the first vehicle. The valuation obtained here may be the valuation of the first vehicle as a used vehicle, or may be the valuation of the battery alone.

[0014] In addition, the control unit may calculate a first valuation amount, which is the valuation amount of the first vehicle as a used car, based on the first data, and calculate a second valuation amount, which is the valuation amount of the driving battery alone, based on the second data. If the first valuation is greater than the second valuation, it is recommended that the first vehicle be resold as a used vehicle, and if the second valuation is greater than the first valuation, it is recommended that the battery be removed from the first vehicle and resold as a battery.

[0015] The second valuation value may be any one of (1) the valuation value when the drive battery is recirculated, (2) the valuation value when the drive battery is rebuilt, or (3) the valuation value when resources are extracted from the drive battery. The information processing device according to the present disclosure can, for example, suggest which method to use to recycle the battery depending on the deterioration state of the battery. The control unit may determine the battery recycling method after acquiring the respective evaluation amounts. The control unit may, for example, decide on the recycling method with the highest evaluation amount from among the above (1) to (3) and suggest it to the user of the device.

[0016] In addition, the control unit may acquire bidding data associating the status of the driving battery with an evaluation price from terminals respectively associated with a plurality of businesses, and calculate the second evaluation price based on the second data and the plurality of bidding data. If there are multiple battery recyclers, the valuation amount that each company can offer may be collected as bidding data, and the final valuation amount (i.e., the valuation amount offered by the successful bidder) may then be calculated based on the bidding data.

[0017] Specific embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to the drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the hardware configuration, module configuration, functional configuration, and the like described in each embodiment are not intended to limit the technical scope of the disclosure to only those.

[0018] First Embodiment An overview of the evaluation system according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. The evaluation system of this embodiment is composed of a server device 100 that evaluates the value of a target vehicle, a base terminal 200 that requests the server device 100 to evaluate the target vehicle, and an operator terminal 300 corresponding to an operator that handles batteries and used cars. In the following description, the term "battery" refers to the drive battery of the target vehicle.

[0019] The server device 100 is a device that stores information about a plurality of vehicles and evaluates the value of a specified vehicle (hereinafter, the target vehicle). The server device 100 is configured to be able to individually calculate the evaluation value of the target vehicle as a used car and the evaluation value of the battery that the target vehicle has, and proposes the recycling method that will give the highest evaluation value (in other words, the highest selling price).

[0020] In this embodiment, the recycling method of the target vehicle includes the following: (1) A method of selling the target vehicle as a used car to a used car dealer. In other words, this is a method of selling the vehicle while still maintaining its functionality as an electric vehicle. (2) Remove the battery from the vehicle and sell it to a distributor of used batteries. In this case, the removed battery is installed in another vehicle as is and reused. (3) Remove the battery from the vehicle and sell it to a used battery rebuilding company. In this case, the removed battery is disassembled and rebuilt (for example, cell by cell). The rebuilt battery is then redistributed as a used battery. (4) Removing the batteries from the vehicles and selling them to a recycling company for the raw materials In this case, the removed battery is disassembled and recycled as a resource containing rare metals, rare earths, etc.

[0021] The base terminal 200 is a computer installed at a vehicle maintenance base. Examples of maintenance bases include an automobile repair shop and a dealer. The base terminal 200 executes either a process of transmitting data about the target vehicle (e.g., data indicating the condition of the vehicle and the battery) to the server device 100 or a process of interacting with the server device 100 and inquiring of the server device 100 about the optimal method for recycling the target vehicle. The data about the target vehicle is hereinafter referred to as vehicle data.

[0022] The business operator terminal 300 is a terminal corresponding to a business operator that handles used cars or batteries. The business operator terminal 300 is a terminal corresponding to, for example, the above-mentioned used car sales business operator, used battery distribution / sales business operator, used battery rebuild business operator, or raw material recycling business operator. The business operator terminal 300 provides the server device 100 with information on the purchase price of used cars and used batteries (hereinafter, valuation data). The valuation data is an example of "bid data".

[0023] The server device 100 accumulates vehicle data and appraisal data, and when an inquiry is received from the base terminal 200, it refers to this data to determine and output the most appropriate recycling method and buyer for the vehicle (or battery). This makes it possible to provide information such as "You can make more profit by selling the battery to a rebuilding business than by selling it as a used car" even if there is a vehicle that has almost no value as a used car because of a deteriorated battery.

[0024] FIG. 2 is a diagram showing in more detail the components of the server device 100, the base terminal 200, and the carrier terminal 300 included in the evaluation system according to this embodiment. The point terminal 200 will now be described. The base terminal 200 is, for example, a computer such as a personal computer, a smartphone, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a personal information terminal, etc. The base terminal 200 includes a control unit 201, a storage unit 202, a communication unit 203, and an input / output unit 204.

[0025] The control unit 201 is a calculation device that controls the base terminal 200. The control unit 201 can be realized by a calculation processing device such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit). . The control unit 201 executes a function of accessing the server device 100 and performing an interaction. This function may be realized by a web browser running on the base terminal 200 or dedicated application software.

[0026] The storage unit 202 includes a main storage device and an auxiliary storage device. The main storage device is a memory in which the programs executed by the control unit 201 and data used by the control programs are expanded. The auxiliary storage device is a device in which the programs executed by the control unit 201 and data used by the control programs are stored. The auxiliary storage device may store the programs executed by the control unit 201 packaged as applications. It may also store an operating system for executing these applications. The programs stored in the auxiliary storage device are loaded into the main storage device and executed by the control unit 201, thereby performing the processes described below.

[0027] The primary storage device may include a random access memory (RAM) or a read only memory (ROM). The secondary storage device may include an erasable programmable read only memory (EPROM) or a hard disk drive (HDD). It may also include a disk drive (HDD, Hard Disk Drive). may include removable media, i.e., portable recording media.

[0028] The communication unit 203 is a wireless communication interface for connecting the base terminal 200 to a network. The communication unit 203 is configured to be able to communicate with the server device 100 via, for example, a wireless LAN or a mobile communication service such as 3G, 4G, or 5G. The input / output unit 204 is a unit that accepts input operations performed by the user and presents information to the user. In this embodiment, it is made up of a single touch panel display. That is, it is made up of a liquid crystal display and its control means, and a touch panel and its control means.

[0029] Next, the server device 100 will be described. As described above, the server device 100 is a device that collects and stores information regarding the assessed values ​​of used cars and used batteries, and when an inquiry is received from the base terminal 200, it determines the most appropriate recycling method for the target vehicle and provides the information.

[0030] In this embodiment, the server device 100 may be configured to be capable of executing a Web server for interacting with the base terminal 200. In this case, for example, the base terminal 200 can receive information by accessing a Web service using a browser. Note that the server device 100 may provide a service by means other than a Web server. For example, the server device 100 may execute a service that interacts with dedicated application software installed in the base terminal 200 using a predetermined protocol.

[0031] The server device 100 can be configured as a computer having a processor such as a CPU or a GPU, a main memory such as a RAM or a ROM, and an auxiliary memory such as an EPROM, a hard disk drive, or a removable medium. The operating system (OS), various programs, various tables, etc. are stored in the main memory device, and the programs stored therein are loaded into the working area of ​​the main memory device and executed, and each component is controlled through the execution of the programs, thereby realizing each function that matches a predetermined purpose, as described below. However, some or all of the functions may be realized by hardware circuits such as ASICs and FPGAs.

[0032] The server device 100 includes a control unit 101 , a storage unit 102 , and a communication unit 103 . The control unit 101 is a calculation device that manages the control performed by the server device 100. The control unit 101 can be realized by a calculation processing device such as a CPU. The control unit 101 is configured to have two functional modules: an evaluation unit 1011 and a data update unit 1012. Each functional module may be realized by executing a stored program by a CPU.

[0033] The evaluation unit 1011 evaluates the target vehicle by interacting with the base terminal 200 and outputs the evaluation result. Specifically, the evaluation unit 1011 first acquires data on the target vehicle (vehicle data) from the base terminal 200. The vehicle data includes a number of items used as evaluation criteria for a used vehicle, such as the model, year, and mileage of the target vehicle. Secondly, the evaluation unit 1011 determines the most appropriate recycling method for the target vehicle based on the vehicle data and the evaluation price data (described later) stored in the storage unit 102. As described above, the recycling method for the target vehicle is either "selling as a used car" or "selling as a used battery." When the vehicle is sold as a used battery, the buyer is either a "used battery sales business," a "used battery rebuilding business," or a "raw material recycling business." The evaluation unit 1011 may provide the base terminal 200 with data on the recommended recycling method, the business to which the vehicle is sold, and the evaluation price. The specific method will be described later.

[0034] The data update unit 1012 interacts with the business operator terminal 300 to collect data on the appraisal prices of used cars and batteries on a business operator basis.

[0035] Here, the assessed values ​​of used cars and batteries will be explained. When the target vehicle is sold as a used car, the valuation amount may vary depending on the model of the target vehicle as well as the year, mileage, whether it has been repaired, and the like. The data update unit 1012 acquires data (bid data) including these conditions and valuation amounts from businesses that handle the buying and selling of used cars. The bid data can also be said to be data indicating the intention to purchase a used car that meets the conditions at the proposed valuation amount. The data update unit 1012 stores the acquired data in the memory unit 102 as used car valuation amount data.

[0036] In addition, if the battery removed from the target vehicle is sold, its value will vary depending on the battery model, State of Health (SoH), number of charge / discharge cycles, maximum output, etc. Ugh. SoH is a value that represents the ratio of the current fully charged capacity to the initial fully charged capacity. For example, a battery with an SoH of 80% can store 80% of its initial fully charged capacity. The number of charges and discharges is the number of times the battery has been charged and discharged since it was new. The number of charges and discharges is counted as one when the battery's power has been used up to 100%. Maximum output is the maximum power that the battery can output. If the battery deteriorates, the maximum output may be limited. In other words, there are also used batteries whose maximum output is lower than that of new batteries. It should be noted that other indicators may be used as long as they indicate the degree of deterioration of the battery. For example, indicators such as the operation history of a safety device included in the battery or the state of multiple cells may be used. may be used.

[0037] The evaluation amount of a battery can be determined by a business dealing in the battery based on these indices. Businesses dealing in batteries can be broadly classified into, for example, businesses that sell batteries as used, businesses that disassemble and rebuild batteries, and businesses that disassemble batteries to recycle them. The data update unit 1012 acquires data (bidding data) including the indices that should be satisfied and the evaluation amount from the business terminal 300 of each business. The bidding data can also be said to be data indicating the intention to purchase a battery that meets the conditions at the proposed evaluation amount. The data update unit 1012 stores the acquired data in the storage unit 102 as battery evaluation amount data. In the following description, the used car appraisal data and the battery appraisal data will be collectively referred to as "appraisal data."

[0038] The storage unit 102 includes a main storage device and an auxiliary storage device. The main storage device is a memory in which the programs executed by the control unit 101 and data used by the control programs are expanded. The auxiliary storage device is a device in which the programs executed by the control unit 101 and data used by the control programs are stored.

[0039] Moreover, the storage unit 102 stores the vehicle data and the appraisal price data described above. Vehicle data 102A is data related to the target vehicle transmitted from base terminal 200. Vehicle data 102A includes information for calculating the appraisal value of the target vehicle as a used car and information for calculating the appraisal value of the battery. 3 is an example of the vehicle data 102A. As shown in the figure, the vehicle data 102A includes a vehicle identifier (vehicle ID field), vehicle information, and battery information. The vehicle information is information for calculating the value of the used car, and the battery information is information for calculating the value of the battery.

[0040] The vehicle ID field stores an identifier that uniquely identifies the target vehicle (for example, the chassis number or VIN (Vehicle Identification Number)). The vehicle information is composed of a model ID field, a model year field, a mileage field, etc. The model ID field stores an identifier for identifying the model and grade of the vehicle. The model year field stores information related to the model year of the target vehicle. The mileage field stores information related to the mileage of the target vehicle.

[0041] Battery information consists of a model ID field, an SoH field, a charge / discharge count field, a maximum output field, etc. The model ID field stores an identifier for identifying the model and grade of the battery. The SoH field stores a value (percentage) that indicates the ratio of the current fully charged capacity to the initial fully charged capacity. The charge / discharge count field stores the number of times the battery has been charged and discharged since it was new. A charge / discharge count is counted as one time when 100% of the battery's power has been used. The maximum output field stores a value that indicates the maximum power that the battery can output. The battery information may be generated based on the results of battery measurements performed at a vehicle base (e.g., a repair shop, a dealer, etc.). The vehicle data may be generated or updated based on data transmitted from the base terminal 200.

[0042] The valuation data 102B is a collection of bid data transmitted from the business operator terminal 300. By referring to the valuation data 102B, it is possible to obtain the valuation value of the target vehicle as a used car or as a battery. FIG. 4 shows an example of the valuation data 102B. As shown in the figure, the valuation data 102B is The data consists of two types of data: used car appraisal data and battery appraisal data. The used car appraisal data is data that describes the appraisal value when the target vehicle is appraised as a used car. The battery appraisal data is data that describes the appraisal value when the target vehicle is appraised as a battery. The appraisal value indicates the purchase price offered by a business that handles used cars or used batteries.

[0043] As shown, the used car valuation data includes an identifier of the business that provided the valuation, an identifier of the vehicle and model, conditions, and the valuation, such as the year of manufacture, mileage, and other conditions that the vehicle must meet. As shown in the figure, the battery evaluation data includes an identifier of the business that presented the evaluation amount, an identifier of the battery model, the reuse method, the conditions, and the evaluation amount. The reuse method is a method for reusing the purchased battery. In this embodiment, the reuse methods assumed are "resale," "rebuild," and "recycling." Resale is a form in which the removed battery is resold as is as a used product. Rebuild is a form in which the removed battery is disassembled (e.g., cell by cell) and the necessary treatment is performed (e.g., replacing the cells) to construct a new battery. Recycling is a form in which the removed battery is completely disassembled and recycled as a resource. The conditions are conditions that the battery must satisfy, such as the SoH value, the number of charge / discharge cycles, and maximum output value.

[0044] The above-mentioned data may be constructed by a database management system (DBMS) program executed by a processor managing data stored in a storage device. In this case, each data may be, for example, a relational database.

[0045] The communication unit 103 is a communication interface for connecting the server device 100 to a network. The communication unit 103 includes, for example, a network interface board and a wireless communication interface for wireless communication.

[0046] Next, the operator terminal 300 will be described. The business operator terminal 300 is a terminal used by a business operator who handles used cars or batteries. In this embodiment, the business operator terminal 300 transmits bidding data for presenting the appraisal value of the used car and the battery to the server device 100. The server device 100 generates or updates appraisal value data 102B based on the bidding data. The server device 100 determines a recycling method for the target vehicle (or battery) (e.g., to which business operator to sell it) based on the appraisal value data 102B.

[0047] The operator terminal 300 can be configured as a computer having a processor such as a CPU or a GPU, a main memory such as a RAM or a ROM, and an auxiliary memory such as an EPROM, a hard disk drive, a removable media, etc. The configuration of the operator terminal 300 can be the same as that of the base terminal 200, and therefore a description of the specific configuration will be omitted.

[0048] 2 is an example, and all or part of the functions shown in the figure may be executed using a dedicated circuit. Also, the programs may be stored or executed using a combination of a main memory device and an auxiliary memory device other than those shown in the figure.

[0049] Next, the processes executed by each device included in the system will be described. FIG. 5 is a sequence diagram of the process in which the server device 100 receives and updates data from the base terminal 200 or the business operator terminal 300. As described above, the base terminal 200 transmits data on the target vehicle (vehicle data), and the business operator terminal 300 transmits data on the appraisal price of a used car or battery (bid data). These data are stored in the database. The data is received by the data update unit 1012 and written into the storage unit 102 .

[0050] First, in step S11, the business operator terminal 300 accepts input of information on the appraisal value of a used car or battery. If the business operator terminal 300 is associated with a business that handles used cars, in this step, for example, an operator of the business operator terminal 300 inputs a set of conditions such as the vehicle model, year, mileage, color, and repair history, and the appraisal value to the business operator terminal 300. If the business operator terminal 300 is associated with a business that handles used batteries, in this step, for example, an operator of the business operator terminal 300 inputs a set of the target battery model, reuse method (resale, rebuild, recycling, etc.), conditions such as SoH and number of charge / discharge cycles, and the appraisal value to the business operator terminal 300. The valuation amount may be, for example, the maximum amount (or bid amount) that the business operator is willing to pay for the used car or battery.

[0051] The bid data transmitted from the business operator terminal 300 is received by the server device 100 (data update unit 1012) and stored in the memory unit 102 as evaluation price data 102B in step S12. For example, if the transmitted bid data is for a used car, the used car evaluation price data is subject to update. If the transmitted bid data is for a used battery, the battery evaluation price data is subject to update.

[0052] Next, in step S21, the base terminal 200 acquires data on the target vehicle. In this step, for example, an operator of the base terminal 200 inputs information on the target vehicle to the base terminal 200. The input information is composed of vehicle information and battery information, as shown in FIG. 3. For example, the operator inputs information on the model, year, mileage, color, repair history, etc. of the target vehicle as the vehicle information. In addition, the operator inputs information on the model, SoH, number of charge / discharge cycles, maximum output, etc. of the battery mounted on the target vehicle as the battery information. The base terminal 200 transmits this information to the server device 100 as vehicle data.

[0053] The vehicle data transmitted from the base terminal 200 is received by the server device 100 (data update unit 1012) and stored in the storage unit 102 as vehicle data 102A in step S22. 5, the processes of steps S11 to S12 and steps S21 to S22 are described in order, but each process may be performed separately. Also, the processes of steps S11 to S12 may be performed multiple times for multiple operator terminals 300.

[0054] Next, the process in which the server device 100 evaluates a target vehicle will be described. Fig. 6 is a flowchart of the process in which the server device 100 evaluates a target vehicle. The illustrated process is started by the control unit 101 (evaluation unit 1011) when a request is made from the base terminal 200. The request may be issued, for example, at the timing when the process of step S22 is completed.

[0055] First, in step S31, a target vehicle is identified. In this step, the evaluation unit 1011 may receive, for example, data for identifying the target vehicle from the base terminal 200 among a plurality of vehicles included in the vehicle data 102A. Next, in step S32, a record corresponding to the target vehicle is extracted from the vehicle data 102A. By executing this step, vehicle information and battery information regarding the target vehicle are obtained.

[0056] In step S33, the acquired vehicle information is used to acquire the valuation value of the target vehicle as a used vehicle. In this step, the vehicle information such as the year and mileage are used together with the used vehicle valuation value. The valuation amount and the identifier of the business entity that presented the valuation amount are obtained by comparing the valuation amount with multiple conditions contained in the valuation amount data and extracting matching records.

[0057] In step S34, the acquired battery information is used to acquire the valuation amount when the target vehicle is viewed as a battery. In this step, the SoH, number of charge / discharge cycles, and other information included in the battery information are compared with a number of conditions included in the battery valuation amount data, and matching records are extracted to acquire the valuation amount and the identifier of the business that presented the valuation amount.

[0058] By executing steps S33 and S34, it is possible to obtain the appraisal value (purchase price) in each of the cases "when the target vehicle is sold as a used car" and "when the target vehicle is sold as a battery." Note that "when the target vehicle is sold as a battery" includes "when the battery is sold with the premise of being resold," "when the battery is sold with the premise of being rebuilt," and "when the battery is sold with the premise of being recycled."

[0059] In step S35, the recycling method for the target vehicle that will give the highest appraisal value is determined and output. In this step, the identifier of the business to which the target vehicle or battery will be sold may be output together with the appraisal value. Note that the evaluation unit 1011 may output only information related to the recycling method that gives the highest appraisal value as the output result, or may output the highest appraisal value for each recycling method. For example, the evaluation unit 1011 may output the purchase price in each of the cases of "selling the target vehicle as a used car," "selling the battery with the assumption that it will be resold," "selling the battery with the assumption that it will be rebuilt," and "selling the battery with the assumption that it will be recycled." This allows the operator of the base terminal 200 to know how much value the target vehicle will get if it is sold by any method.

[0060] As described above, in the evaluation system according to the first embodiment, the server device 100 stores both "information for evaluating the value as a used car" and "information for evaluating the value as a battery" for a target vehicle, and determines the recycling method that maximizes the value of the specified vehicle. With this configuration, it becomes possible to propose an appropriate recycling method for electric vehicles that may be in various conditions.

[0061] (Modification) The above-described embodiment is merely an example, and the present disclosure can be modified and implemented as appropriate without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure. For example, the processes and means described in this disclosure can be freely combined and implemented as long as no technical contradiction occurs.

[0062] Furthermore, a process described as being performed by one device may be shared and executed by multiple devices. Alternatively, a process described as being performed by different devices may be executed by one device. In a computer system, the hardware configuration (server configuration) by which each function is realized can be flexibly changed.

[0063] The present disclosure can also be realized by supplying a computer program implementing the functions described in the above embodiments to a computer, and having one or more processors of the computer read and execute the program. Such a computer program may be provided to the computer by a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium connectable to the system bus of the computer, or may be provided to the computer via a network. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium may be, for example, any type of disk, such as a magnetic disk (floppy disk, hard disk drive (HDD), etc.), an optical disk (CD-ROM, DVD disk, Blu-ray disk, etc.), a read-only medium, etc. This includes read only memory (ROM), random access memory (RAM), electronic programmable read only memory (EPROM), electronic read only memory (EEPROM), magnetic cards, flash memory, optical cards, and any type of medium suitable for storing electronic instructions.
