[0011] (Embodiment) Hereinafter, the mobile object management system according to this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0012] However, the embodiment and modified examples described below are merely examples of the present disclosure, and the present disclosure is not limited to the following embodiment and modified examples. Various modifications other than the following embodiment and modified examples are possible according to the design, etc., as long as they do not deviate from the technical idea of ​​the present disclosure.

[0013] In addition, all of the drawings described in the following embodiments are schematic drawings, and the ratios of size and thickness of each component in each drawing do not necessarily reflect the actual dimensional ratios.

[0014] (1) Overview First, an overview of a mobile object management system 20 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[0015] The mobile object management system 20 according to the present embodiment is a system for managing a plurality of mobile objects 100. As shown in FIG. 1, the mobile object management system 20 constitutes a management system 10 together with a usage management system 30, a power supply system 40, a charge / discharge management system 50, an EMS (Energy Management System) 60, and a database 70. The management system 10 may be applied to a car sharing service or a rental car service, for example. In the present embodiment, the management system 10 may be used to provide a service of lending a vehicle (mobile object 100) owned by a facility 400 to a user (a person belonging to the facility 400). The facility 400 may be, for example, a residence such as a detached house or an apartment building, or a non-residential facility such as a factory, a commercial facility, an amusement facility, a hospital, an office, or a building. In the present embodiment, the facility 400 is described as a factory.

[0016] In this embodiment, the moving body 100 has a driving storage battery 110 used as a power source of the moving body 100 (see FIG. 1). The storage battery (battery) 110 is used to drive a drive device (for example, a motor) of the moving body 100. In this embodiment, as an example, the moving body 100 is an electric vehicle that runs using electric energy stored in the storage battery 110. Examples of the electric vehicle include an electric vehicle that runs by the output of an electric motor, and a plug-in hybrid vehicle that runs by combining the output of an engine and the output of an electric motor. In other words, the electric vehicle may mean an electric vehicle (a vehicle that uses electricity as all or part of the power source). The moving body 100 is not limited to an electric vehicle, and may be a senior car, a two-wheeled vehicle (electric motorcycle), a three-wheeled vehicle, or an electric bicycle. In this embodiment, the moving body 100 is an electric vehicle, and the moving body 100 may also be called an electric vehicle 100 as necessary.

[0017] 1, the management system 10 includes a mobile object management system 20, a usage management system 30, a power supply system 40, a charge / discharge management system 50, an EMS 60, and a database 70. The mobile object management system 20, the usage management system 30, the power supply system 40, the charge / discharge management system 50, the EMS 60, and the database 70 can be connected to a communication network 80.

[0018] As described above, the mobile object management system 20 is a system for managing a plurality of mobile objects 100. The mobile object management system 20 includes a schedule adjustment unit 231 (see FIG. 2). The schedule adjustment unit 231 prohibits a reservation for use of a specific mobile object 100 in a usage schedule for the multiple mobile objects 100 based on a charge / discharge schedule including at least one of charging and discharging the specific mobile object 100. The specific mobile object 100 is at least one mobile object 100 among the multiple mobile objects 100. That is, in the mobile object management system 20, the schedule adjustment unit 231 prohibits a reservation for use of the specific mobile object 100 from a user during a corresponding time period so that at least one of charging and discharging can be performed on the specific mobile object 100 that is the subject of the charge / discharge schedule. This makes it possible to carry out the charge / discharge schedule without delay, thereby improving convenience.

[0019] The usage management system 30 is a system for managing the use of one or more electric vehicles 100 by one or more users. For example, in response to a request from a user, the usage management system 30 selects an electric vehicle 100 that matches the user's request from among the multiple electric vehicles 100 and allocates it to the user. More specifically, the usage management system 30 determines a usage schedule for the multiple electric vehicles 100 based on the user's request, and allocates the electric vehicles 100 to the users by referring to the usage schedule.

[0020] The power supply system 40 is a system for charging and discharging the storage battery 110 used as a power source for the electric vehicle 100. The power supply system 40 includes one or more charging and discharging devices 41 used for charging and discharging the electric vehicle 100. Each charging and discharging device 41 is capable of charging the electric vehicle 100 using power from a power source such as a commercial AC power source and a distributed power source 430 (see FIG. 1). Each charging and discharging device 41 is also capable of supplying power to the commercial AC power source by discharging the electric vehicle 100. In the power supply system 40, each charging and discharging device 41 charges and discharges the electric vehicle 100 according to instructions from a charging and discharging management system 50, whereby the one or more electric vehicles 100 are charged and discharged according to a charging and discharging schedule.

[0021] The charge / discharge management system 50 is a system for managing the charging / discharging of one or more electric vehicles 100 by the power supply system 40. The charge / discharge management system 50 appropriately controls the charging of one or more electric vehicles 100, thereby reducing the possibility that the remaining capacity of the storage battery 110 of the electric vehicle 100 will be insufficient when needed. The charge / discharge management system 50 also appropriately controls the discharging of one or more electric vehicles 100, thereby reducing the possibility that the power usage of the facility 400 will exceed the peak power. More specifically, the charge / discharge management system 50 determines a charge / discharge schedule for the multiple electric vehicles 100 based on the usage schedule provided by the usage management system 30 and the demand notification provided by the EMS 60, and controls the power supply system 40 according to the charge / discharge schedule. The "peak power" here refers to the maximum power usage of the power used in the facility 400, which exceeds a threshold power limited by a DR signal described later. Therefore, the charge / discharge management system 50 appropriately controls the discharging of one or more electric vehicles 100 so that the power usage of the facility 400 does not exceed the peak power.

[0022] The EMS 60 transmits a demand notification to the charge / discharge management system 50 based on the balance between the demand and supply of power in the power grid that supplies power to the facility 400. The charge / discharge management system 50 controls charging / discharging of the storage battery 110 by one or more charge / discharge devices 41 of the power supply system 40 based on the demand notification.

[0023] The database 70 is a device for managing mobile object information, which is information related to a plurality of mobile objects 100. More specifically, the database 70 stores, as mobile object information, the location information of the electric vehicle 100, storage battery information including the state of charge (SOC) of the storage battery 110 mounted on the electric vehicle 100, and other history information.

[0024] (2)Details Next, the configuration of the management system 10 including the mobile object management system 20 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0025] In the following description, when it is necessary to distinguish between the multiple charging / discharging devices 41, the multiple charging / discharging devices 41 are also referred to as "charging / discharging devices 41A to 41D." Furthermore, when it is necessary to distinguish between the multiple electric vehicles 100, the multiple electric vehicles 100 are also referred to as "electric vehicles 100A to 100D."

[0026] As described above, the management system 10 according to this embodiment includes the mobile object management system 20, the usage management system 30, the power supply system 40, the charge / discharge management system 50, the EMS 60, and the database 70. The mobile object management system 20, the usage management system 30, the power management system 40, the charge / discharge management system 50, the EMS 60, and the database 70 can be connected to a communication network 80.

[0027] The communication network 80 may include the Internet. The communication network 80 may be composed of a plurality of networks conforming to different communication protocols, rather than a network conforming to a single communication protocol. The communication protocol may be selected from various well-known wired and wireless communication standards. Although simplified in FIG. 1, the communication network 80 may include data communication devices such as repeater hubs, switching hubs, bridges, gateways, and routers.

[0028] (2.1) Mobility Management System As described above, the mobility management system 20 is a system for managing a plurality of moving objects 100. As shown in FIG. 2, the mobility management system 20 includes a communication unit 21, a storage unit 22, and a processing unit 23.

[0029] The communication unit 21 includes a communication interface. The communication unit 21 is connectable to a communication network 80 and has a function of performing communication through the communication network 80. The communication unit 21 complies with a predetermined communication protocol. The predetermined communication protocol can be selected from various well-known wired and wireless communication standards.

[0030] The memory unit 22 is used to store information used by the processing unit 23. At least one of a charge / discharge schedule acquired from the charge / discharge management system 50 and a usage schedule acquired from the usage management system 30 is stored in the memory unit 22. In this embodiment, both the charge / discharge schedule and the usage schedule are stored in the memory unit 22. The memory unit 22 includes one or more storage devices. The storage device is, for example, a RAM (Random Access Memory) or an EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory).

[0031] The processing unit 23 is a control circuit that controls the operation of the mobile management system 20. The processing unit 23 can be realized, for example, by a computer system having one or more processors and one or more memories. That is, the processing unit 23 functions as a result of the one or more processors executing a program recorded in one or more memories of the computer system. Here, the program is pre-recorded in the memory of the processing unit 23, but it may be provided through a telecommunication line such as the Internet, or may be provided by recording it on a non-transitory recording medium such as a memory card.

[0032] 2, the processing unit 23 includes a schedule adjustment unit 231, a power information acquisition unit 232, a mobile object information acquisition unit 233, and a determination unit 234. In FIG. 2, the schedule adjustment unit 231, the power information acquisition unit 232, the mobile object information acquisition unit 233, and the determination unit 234 do not indicate actual configurations, but indicate functions realized by the processing unit 23.

[0033] The schedule adjustment unit 231 has a function of adjusting the usage schedule acquired from the usage management system 30. The schedule adjustment unit 231 adjusts the usage schedule based on the charge / discharge schedule acquired from the charge / discharge management system 50, for example. More specifically, when the charge / discharge schedule requires one or more electric vehicles 100 to be discharged to a commercial AC power source, the schedule adjustment unit 231 changes the usage schedule so as to prohibit the reservation of the target electric vehicle 100 (specific mobile body). Furthermore, when the charge / discharge schedule requires one or more electric vehicles 100 to be charged with power from the distributed power source 430, the schedule adjustment unit 231 changes the usage schedule so as to prohibit the reservation of the target electric vehicle 100 (specific mobile body). In this case, it is preferable that information on the power supply from the distributed power source 430 (for example, the amount of power supply) is sent from the charge / discharge management system 50 together with the charge / discharge schedule. This enables the schedule adjustment unit 231 to select an electric vehicle 100 that can be charged with the power supply from the distributed power source 430 from among the multiple electric vehicles 100.

[0034] Incidentally, when, for example, one or more electric vehicles 100 need to discharge to the power system of the facility 400, the schedule adjustment unit 231 preferably selects, from among the multiple electric vehicles 100, an electric vehicle 100 whose storage battery 110 has a charging rate equal to or higher than a reference value as the specific mobile object 100. The reference value is, for example, 80%. Then, the schedule adjustment unit 231 prohibits the reservation of use of the specific mobile object 100 in the usage schedule so that the specific mobile object 100 discharges to the power system of the facility 400.

[0035] Furthermore, for example, when surplus power from the distributed power source 430 needs to be charged to one or more electric vehicles 100, the schedule adjustment unit 231 preferably selects, from among the multiple electric vehicles 100, an electric vehicle 100 whose storage battery 110 has a charging rate equal to or lower than a specified value as the specific mobile body 100. The specified value is, for example, 30%. Then, the schedule adjustment unit 231 prohibits reservation of use of the specific mobile body 100 in the usage schedule so that the surplus power from the distributed power source 430 is charged to the storage battery 110 of the specific mobile body 100.

[0036] The power information acquisition unit 232 acquires power information from, for example, the charge / discharge management system 50. The power information is information related to power of the facility 400. The power information includes, for example, a charge / discharge schedule. The power information acquisition unit 232 outputs the acquired charge / discharge schedule to the schedule adjustment unit 231. Note that, when the charge / discharge schedule includes charging, as described above, it is preferable that the amount of power supplied from the distributed power source 430 is included in the power information.

[0037] The mobile object information acquisition unit 233 acquires mobile object information from, for example, the database 70. The mobile object information is information on a plurality of mobile objects 100. As described above, the mobile object information includes location information of the electric vehicle 100 and storage battery information including the charging rate of the storage battery 110 of the electric vehicle 100. In other words, the mobile object information includes information on the charging rate of the storage battery 110. The mobile object information acquisition unit 233 outputs the acquired mobile object information to the determination unit 234. Note that the mobile object information may include travel distance information of the electric vehicle 100.

[0038] The determination unit 234 determines the available time of each of the electric vehicles 100 based on the mobile object information acquired by the mobile object information acquisition unit 233. More specifically, the determination unit 234 determines the available time of each of the electric vehicles 100 based on the storage battery information included in the mobile object information.

[0039] Here, the schedule adjustment unit 231 may adjust the usage schedule based on the available time determined by the determination unit 234. More specifically, when the charge / discharge schedule from the charge / discharge management system 50 includes discharging, the schedule adjustment unit 231 prohibits reservations for use of an electric vehicle 100 that has a relatively long available time among the multiple electric vehicles 100. Furthermore, when the charge / discharge schedule from the charge / discharge management system 50 includes charging, the schedule adjustment unit 231 prohibits reservations for use of an electric vehicle 100 that has a relatively short available time among the multiple electric vehicles 100.

[0040] (2.2) Usage Management System As described above, the usage management system 30 is a system for managing the use of one or more electric vehicles 100 by one or more users. In this embodiment, the usage management system 30 determines a usage schedule for the multiple electric vehicles 100 and manages the use of the electric vehicles 100 by referring to the usage schedule.

[0041] 3, the usage management system 30 includes a communication unit 31, a storage unit 32, and a processing unit 33. The usage management system 30 may be realized by, for example, a server.

[0042] The communication unit 31 includes a communication interface. The communication unit 31 is connectable to a communication network 80 and has a function of communicating through the communication network 80. The communication unit 31 complies with a predetermined communication protocol. The predetermined communication protocol may be selected from various well-known wired and wireless communication standards.

[0043] The storage unit 32 is used to store information used by the processing unit 33. For example, a usage schedule is stored in the storage unit 32. The storage unit 32 includes one or more storage devices. The storage device is, for example, a RAM or an EEPROM.

[0044] The processing unit 33 is a control circuit that controls the operation of the usage management system 30. The processing unit 33 can be realized, for example, by a computer system having one or more processors and one or more memories. That is, the processing unit 33 functions as a result of the one or more processors executing a program recorded in one or more memories of the computer system. Here, the program is pre-recorded in the memory of the processing unit 33, but it may be provided through a telecommunications line such as the Internet, or may be provided by recording it on a non-transitory recording medium such as a memory card.

[0045] 3, the processing unit 33 includes a receiving unit 331, a determining unit 332, a notifying unit 333, and an updating unit 334. In FIG. 3, the receiving unit 331, the determining unit 332, the notifying unit 333, and the updating unit 334 do not indicate actual configurations, but indicate functions realized by the processing unit 33.

[0046] The reception unit 331 receives a user request regarding the moving object 100. The user request regarding the electric vehicle 100 includes at least a requested period for use of the electric vehicle 100. The requested period is a period for which the user requests use of the electric vehicle 100.

[0047] The determination unit 332 determines whether there is an electric vehicle 100 that matches the user's request for the electric vehicle 100. In this embodiment, the determination unit 332 selects an electric vehicle 100 that matches the user's request from the multiple electric vehicles 100. When selecting an electric vehicle 100 that matches the user's request from the multiple electric vehicles 100, the determination unit 332 refers to determination information obtained from the charge / discharge management system 50. In order to obtain the determination information from the charge / discharge management system 50, the determination unit 332 provides request information to the charge / discharge management system 50. The request information includes a requested period for use of the electric vehicle 100. The determination unit 332 determines whether there is an electric vehicle 100 that matches the user's request for the electric vehicle 100 based on the determination information obtained from the charge / discharge management system 50.

[0048] The notification unit 333 transmits notification information for notifying the user of the electric vehicle 100 that matches the user's request selected by the determination unit 332 to, for example, a terminal device (for example, a smartphone) owned by the user. This makes it possible to present to the user information on the electric vehicle 100 that matches the user's request selected by the determination unit 332. Furthermore, when there is no electric vehicle 100 that matches the user's request, the notification unit 333 transmits notification information to the terminal device indicating that there is no electric vehicle 100 that matches the user's request.

[0049] The update unit 334 updates (changes) the usage schedule in accordance with the user's request. More specifically, the update unit 334 sets a period corresponding to the requested period as a planned usage period for the electric vehicle 100 selected by the user. The planned usage period is a period during which the user plans to use the electric vehicle 100. The update unit 334 also updates (changes) the usage schedule based on schedule information obtained from the mobile object management system 20. More specifically, for the electric vehicle 100 selected by the schedule adjustment unit 231 of the mobile object management system 20, the update unit 334 sets the electric vehicle 100 to "reserved" for the time period selected by the schedule adjustment unit 231 so that the electric vehicle 100 cannot be reserved for use during the time period selected by the schedule adjustment unit 231.

[0050] (2.3) Power Supply System As described above, the power supply system 40 is a system for charging the storage battery 110 used as a power source for the electric vehicle 100. The power supply system 40 is installed in a facility 400 as shown in Fig. 1. The facility 400 may include a parking lot 410 for the electric vehicle 100, a building 420 attached to the parking lot 410, and a distributed power source 430 installed in the building 420. The distributed power source 430 includes, for example, a solar panel. As described above, the facility 400 is a factory. The power supply system 40 includes a plurality of charging / discharging devices 41 used for charging and discharging the electric vehicle 100.

[0051] Each charging / discharging device 41 can charge the storage battery 110 of the electric vehicle 100 connected to each charging / discharging device 41 with power obtained from a commercial AC power source or a distributed power source 430. Also, each charging / discharging device 41 can supply power to the commercial AC power source by discharging the storage battery 110 of the electric vehicle 100 connected to each charging / discharging device 41. Each charging / discharging device 41 charges or discharges the electric vehicle 100 connected to each charging / discharging device 41 according to instructions from the charging / discharging management system 50.

[0052] (2.4) Charge / Discharge Management System As described above, the charge / discharge management system 50 is a system for managing the charging and discharging of one or more electric vehicles 100. As shown in Fig. 4, the charge / discharge management system 50 includes a communication unit 51, a storage unit 52, and a processing unit 53. The charge / discharge management system 50 may be realized by a server.

[0053] The communication unit 51 includes a communication interface. The communication unit 51 is connectable to a communication network 80 and has a function of performing communication through the communication network 80. The communication unit 51 complies with a predetermined communication protocol. The predetermined communication protocol can be selected from various well-known wired and wireless communication standards.

[0054] The storage unit 52 is used to store information used by the processing unit 53. For example, a charge / discharge schedule is stored in the storage unit 52. The storage unit 52 also stores a usage schedule acquired from the usage management system 30. The storage unit 52 includes one or more storage devices. The storage device is, for example, a RAM or an EEPROM.

[0055] The processing unit 53 is a control circuit that controls the operation of the charge / discharge management system 50. The processing unit 53 can be realized, for example, by a computer system having one or more processors and one or more memories. That is, the processing unit 53 functions as the processing unit 53 by having one or more processors execute a program recorded in one or more memories of the computer system. Here, the program is pre-recorded in the memory of the processing unit 53, but it may be provided through a telecommunication line such as the Internet, or may be provided by recording it in a non-transitory recording medium such as a memory card.

[0056] 4, the processing unit 53 includes an acquisition unit 531, a presentation unit 532, a decision unit 533, a control unit 534, and a notification unit 535. In FIG. 4, the acquisition unit 531, the presentation unit 532, the decision unit 533, the control unit 534, and the notification unit 535 do not indicate actual configurations, but indicate functions realized by the processing unit 53.

[0057] The acquisition unit 531 acquires request information including a requested period for use of the electric vehicle 100 from the usage management system 30. The acquisition unit 531 also acquires a usage schedule of the electric vehicle 100 from the usage management system 30. Furthermore, the acquisition unit 531 acquires a demand notification from the EMS 60.

[0058] The presentation unit 532 presents the determination information to the usage management system 30. The determination information is information for determining whether the electric vehicle 100 is usable during the requested period. The presentation unit 532 generates the determination information based on the available energy (charging rate) of the storage battery 110 during the requested period of the electric vehicle 100.

[0059] The determination unit 533 has a function of determining a charge / discharge schedule. More specifically, the determination unit 533 determines a charge schedule for the multiple electric vehicles 100 for ensuring the amount of power usage based on the usage schedule of the multiple electric vehicles 100, based on the chargeable period of each of the multiple electric vehicles 100 obtained from the usage schedule. The chargeable period is a period that can be used to charge the storage battery 110 of the electric vehicle 100. Furthermore, the determination unit 533 determines a charge / discharge schedule for one or more electric vehicles 100 selected by the determination unit 234 of the mobile object management system 20 from among the multiple electric vehicles 100, based on the demand notification.

[0060] The control unit 534 controls the power supply system 40. More specifically, the control unit 534 executes control of the power supply system 40 according to a charge / discharge schedule. That is, the control unit 534 controls charging / discharging of at least one of the storage batteries 110 of the multiple electric vehicles 100 according to the charge / discharge schedule. More specifically, the control unit 534 causes the corresponding charge / discharge device 41 to charge the electric vehicle 100 in each planned charging period in the charge / discharge schedule. The control unit 534 also causes the corresponding charge / discharge device 41 to discharge the electric vehicle 100 in each planned discharging period in the charge / discharge schedule. In this way, the power supply system 40 executes charging / discharging of the electric vehicle 100 according to the charge / discharge schedule.

[0061] The notification unit 535 notifies the user of information relating to the charging and discharging of the electric vehicle 100. The notification unit 535 transmits, for example, information relating to the charging and discharging of the electric vehicle 100 to the usage management system 30 via the communication network 80. The usage management system 30 is able to execute processing according to the information relating to the charging and discharging of the electric vehicle 100 transmitted from the notification unit 535. Information relating to the charging and discharging of the electric vehicle 100 includes, for example, information on an electric vehicle 100 that could not be charged according to the schedule among the multiple electric vehicles 100. In this case, the usage management system 30 may notify the user's terminal device that the electric vehicle 100 cannot be charged according to the schedule.

[0062] (2.5) EMS The EMS 60 is a system for managing the demand and supply of power in the power system of the facility 400 and for adjusting the demand and supply of power within the facility 400 .

[0063] The EMS 60, for example, performs prediction, planning, and control of power demand and supply in the facility 400, and performs power peak cutting and peak shifting by demand response. The EMS 60 transmits a demand response signal (hereinafter also referred to as a "DR signal") to the facility 400 via the communication network 80, requesting the facility 400 to suppress or increase the power demand, or suppress or decrease the amount of power sold. The facility 400 adjusts the power demand and the amount of charging and discharging in response to the DR signal.

[0064] 5, the EMS 60 includes a communication unit 61 and a processing unit 62. The EMS 60 may be realized by a server.

[0065] The communication unit 61 includes a communication interface. The communication unit 61 is connectable to the communication network 80 and has a function of communicating through the communication network 80. The communication unit 61 complies with a predetermined communication protocol. The predetermined communication protocol can be selected from various well-known wired and wireless communication standards.

[0066] The processing unit 62 is a control circuit that controls the operation of the EMS 60. The processing unit 62 can be realized, for example, by a computer system having one or more processors and one or more memories. That is, the processing unit 62 functions as the processing unit 62 by having one or more processors execute a program recorded in one or more memories of the computer system. Here, the program is pre-recorded in the memory of the processing unit 62, but it may be provided through a telecommunication line such as the Internet, or may be provided by recording it on a non-transitory recording medium such as a memory card.

[0067] As shown in Fig. 4, the processing unit 62 includes a prediction unit 621. In Fig. 4, the prediction unit 621 does not represent a substantial configuration, but represents a function realized by the processing unit 62.

[0068] The prediction unit 621 has a function of predicting whether the power usage of the facility 400 will exceed the peak power based on the power information. The power information is information related to the power of the facility 400, for example, the average power usage every 30 minutes in the facility 400. When the prediction unit 621 predicts that the power usage of the facility 400 will exceed the peak power, the EMS 60 transmits a DR signal to the charge / discharge management system 50. Upon receiving the DR signal from the EMS 60, the charge / discharge management system 50 determines a charge / discharge schedule according to the DR signal, and executes discharging of one or more electric vehicles 100 according to the charge / discharge schedule.

[0069] In the mobile object management system 20, as described above, the power information acquisition unit 232 acquires the charge / discharge schedule from the charge / discharge management system 50. Then, the schedule adjustment unit 231 of the mobile object management system 20 prohibits the reservation of use of the specific mobile object 100 in the usage schedule so that the specific mobile object 100 discharges in accordance with the charge / discharge schedule. In other words, the schedule adjustment unit 231 of the mobile object management system 20 prohibits the reservation of use of the specific mobile object 100 in the usage schedule so that the specific mobile object 100 discharges when the prediction unit 621 predicts that the power usage of the facility 400 will exceed the peak power based on the power information.

[0070] (2.6) Database The electric vehicle 100 is able to communicate with the database 70 via a communication network 80 by performing wireless communication using a wireless LAN (Local Network System) or a mobile communication network. The electric vehicle 100 stores a vehicle ID such as a registration number that is assigned in advance to the electric vehicle 100. The electric vehicle 100 then transmits the vehicle ID, storage battery information including the charge rate of the storage battery 110, location information using a GPS (Global Positioning System), mileage information, and the like to the database 70 as mobile vehicle information.

[0071] When the database 70 receives the mobile object information, the database 70 stores the storage battery information, the location information, the mileage information, etc. in association with the vehicle ID. The database 70 also transmits a mobile object information signal including the mobile object information to the mobile object management system 20 and the charge / discharge management system 50 via the communication network 80. The database 70 may be realized by a server.

[0072] (3) Mobile object management method Next, a mobile object management method according to this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[0073] The mobile object management method according to this embodiment is a mobile object management method used in the above-mentioned mobile object management system 20, which manages a plurality of mobile objects 100, each of which has a driving storage battery 110. The mobile object management method has a schedule adjustment step S11. The schedule adjustment step S11 is a step of prohibiting a reservation for use of a specific mobile object 100 in a usage schedule of the multiple mobile objects 100, based on a charge / discharge schedule that includes at least one of charging and discharging of the specific mobile object 100. The specific mobile object 100 is at least one mobile object 100 among the multiple mobile objects 100.

[0074] As described above, the mobile object management method according to this embodiment includes a schedule adjustment step S11. In the schedule adjustment step S11, a reservation for use of a specific mobile object 100 is prohibited based on a charge / discharge schedule of the specific mobile object 100. In this manner, according to the mobile object management method according to this embodiment, a reservation for use of a specific mobile object 100 can be prohibited in the use schedule of a plurality of mobile objects 100 so that at least one of charging and discharging of the specific mobile object 100 is possible, thereby improving convenience.

[0075] FIG. 6 is a sequence diagram showing the operation of the mobile object management system 20, including the mobile object management method according to this embodiment.

[0076] First, the EMS 60 transmits first schedule information to the mobile object management system 20 via the communication network 80 (M11). The first schedule information is information on a charge / discharge schedule including at least one of charging and discharging of the storage batteries 110 of each of the multiple mobile objects 100. In addition, the usage management system 30 transmits second schedule information to the mobile object management system 20 via the communication network 80 (M12). The second schedule information is information on a usage schedule of the multiple mobile objects 100.

[0077] The mobile object management system 20 adjusts the usage schedule included in the second schedule information from the usage management system 30 based on the charge / discharge schedule included in the first schedule information from the EMS 60 (S11). For example, when the prediction unit 621 of the EMS 60 predicts that the power usage of the facility 400 will exceed the peak power and the electric vehicle 100A is about to be discharged, the schedule adjustment unit 231 of the mobile object management system 20 adjusts (changes) the usage schedule so as to prohibit reservations for use of the electric vehicle 100A.

[0078] The mobile object management system 20 transmits the third schedule information to the usage management system 30 via the communication network 80 (M13). The third schedule information is information on the usage schedule after being adjusted by the schedule adjustment unit 231. The usage management system 30 updates the usage schedule stored in the memory of the processing unit 33 to the usage schedule included in the third schedule information from the mobile object management system 20 (M12).

[0079] In the sequence diagram shown in FIG. 6, the first transmission timing for transmitting the first schedule information and the second transmission timing for transmitting the second schedule information may be the same, or the first transmission timing may precede the second transmission timing, or vice versa.

[0080] (4) Effects As described above, the mobile object management system 20 according to this embodiment is a system for managing a plurality of mobile objects 100 each having a driving storage battery 110. The mobile object management system 20 includes a schedule adjustment unit 231. The schedule adjustment unit 231 prohibits a reservation for use of a specific mobile object 100 in a use schedule of the multiple mobile objects 100 based on a charge / discharge schedule including at least one of charging and discharging of the specific mobile object 100. The specific mobile object 100 is at least one mobile object 100 among the multiple mobile objects 100.

[0081] As described above, the mobile object management system 20 according to this embodiment includes the schedule adjustment unit 231. Therefore, it is possible for the schedule adjustment unit 231 to prohibit the reservation of use of the mobile object (specific mobile object) 100 that is the subject of the charge / discharge schedule. This makes it possible to carry out the charge / discharge schedule smoothly, thereby improving convenience.

[0082] (5) Variations The above-described embodiment is merely one of various embodiments of the present disclosure. The above-described embodiment can be modified in various ways depending on the design, etc., as long as the object of the present disclosure can be achieved. In addition, functions similar to the mobile object management method according to the above-described embodiment may be embodied in a mobile object management system 20, a (computer) program, or a non-transitory recording medium having a program recorded thereon, etc. A program according to one aspect is a program for causing one or more processors to execute the above-described mobile object management method.

[0083] Modifications of the above-described embodiment are listed below. The modifications described below can be applied in appropriate combination.

[0084] (5.1) Variation 1 A mobile object management system 20A according to the first modification will be described with reference to FIG.

[0085] The mobile object management system 20A according to the first variant example differs from the mobile object management system 20 according to the above-described embodiment in that the processing unit 23A includes a prediction unit 235 in addition to a schedule adjustment unit 231, a power information acquisition unit 232, a mobile object information acquisition unit 233 and a decision unit 234.

[0086] In the mobile object management system 20A according to the first modification, the configuration other than the prediction unit 235 is the same as that of the mobile object management system 20 according to the above embodiment, and the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals and descriptions thereof will be omitted. In addition, in the first modification, the usage management system 30, the power supply system 40, the charge / discharge management system 50, the EMS 60, and the database 70 included in the management system 10 are also the same, and descriptions thereof will be omitted here. However, the prediction unit 621 of the EMS 60 can be omitted.

[0087] 7, the mobile object management system 20A according to the first modification includes a communication unit 21, a storage unit 22, and a processing unit 23A. The processing unit 23A further includes a prediction unit 235 in addition to the schedule adjustment unit 231, the power information acquisition unit 232, the mobile object information acquisition unit 233, and the determination unit 234 described above.

[0088] The prediction unit 235 predicts whether the power usage of the facility 400 will exceed the peak power, based on the power information acquired by the power information acquisition unit 232. In the first modification, the power information includes the average power usage every 30 minutes in the facility 400 as the power usage of the facility 400. The prediction unit 235 then compares the power usage of the facility 400 with a threshold power as the peak power for the power usage of the facility 400, which is stored in advance in the memory of the processing unit 23A.

[0089] The schedule adjustment unit 231 adjusts the use schedule of the multiple electric vehicles 100 based on the prediction result of the prediction unit 235. More specifically, when the prediction unit 235 predicts that the power usage of the facility 400 will exceed the peak power, the schedule adjustment unit 231 prohibits the reservation of use of the specific mobile body 100 so that power can be supplied from the specific mobile body 100 to the power system of the facility 400 during that time period. This prevents the user from making a reservation of use of the specific mobile body 100, and makes it possible to make up for the power shortage in the facility 400 with power from the specific mobile body 100.

[0090] As described above, in the mobile object management system 20A according to the first modification, it becomes possible to prohibit reservations for use of a specific mobile object 100 based on the prediction result of the prediction unit 235, thereby making it possible to improve convenience.

[0091] (5.2) Variation 2 A mobile object management system 20B according to the second modification will be described with reference to FIG.

[0092] The mobile object management system 20B according to the second variant example differs from the mobile object management system 20 according to the above-described embodiment in that the processing unit 23B includes an image information acquisition unit 236 in addition to a schedule adjustment unit 231, a power information acquisition unit 232, a mobile object information acquisition unit 233 and a decision unit 234.

[0093] In the mobile object management system 20B according to the second modification, the configuration other than the image information acquisition unit 236 is the same as that of the mobile object management system 20 according to the above embodiment, and the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals and will not be described. In the second modification, the usage management system 30, the power supply system 40, the charge / discharge management system 50, the EMS 60, and the database 70 included in the management system 10 are also the same, and will not be described here.

[0094] 8, the mobile object management system 20B according to the second modification includes a communication unit 21, a storage unit 22, and a processing unit 23B. The processing unit 23B further includes an image information acquisition unit 236 in addition to the schedule adjustment unit 231, the power information acquisition unit 232, the mobile object information acquisition unit 233, and the determination unit 234 described above.

[0095] The image information acquisition unit 236 is connected to the imaging device 90, and acquires image information from the imaging device (camera) 90. The image information is information about images of each of the multiple electric vehicles 100, and includes, for example, information such as the license plate (vehicle registration number plate) of each electric vehicle 100.

[0096] The determination unit 234 determines the priority of reservations for use of the electric vehicles 100 based on the image information acquired by the image information acquisition unit 236. More specifically, the determination unit 234 identifies the types (vehicle models) of the electric vehicles 100 from the image information, and determines the priority of reservations for use of the electric vehicles 100 according to the types. Here, the size (capacity) of the storage battery 110 of the electric vehicles 100 differs depending on the type (vehicle model). Therefore, the determination unit 234 can determine the priority of reservations for use of the electric vehicles 100 based on the size (capacity) of the storage battery 110. For example, the determination unit 234 increases the priority of reservations for use of an electric vehicle 100 having a storage battery 110 with a relatively large size (capacity) among the multiple electric vehicles 100. Conversely, the determination unit 234 decreases the priority of reservations for use of an electric vehicle 100 having a storage battery 110 with a relatively small size (capacity) among the multiple electric vehicles 100.

[0097] (5.3) Other Modifications The mobile object management system 20 in the present disclosure includes, for example, a computer system in the processing unit 23. The computer system is mainly composed of a processor and a memory as hardware. The processor executes a program recorded in the memory of the computer system, thereby realizing the functions of the mobile object management system 20 in the present disclosure. The program may be pre-recorded in the memory of the computer system, may be provided through an electric communication line, or may be provided by being recorded in a non-transitory recording medium such as a memory card, an optical disk, or a hard disk drive that can be read by the computer system.

The integrated circuits such as IC or LSI referred to here are called by different names depending on the degree of integration, and include integrated circuits called system LSI, VLSI (Very Large Scale Integration), or ULSI (Ultra Large Scale Integration). Furthermore, a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) that is programmed after the manufacture of the LSI, or a logic device that can reconfigure the connection relationship inside the LSI or reconfigure the circuit partition inside the LSI, can also be adopted as a processor. The electronic circuits may be integrated in one chip or distributed among multiple chips. The chips may be integrated in one device or distributed among multiple devices. The computer system referred to here includes a microcontroller having one or more processors and one or more memories. Thus, the microcontroller is also composed of one or more electronic circuits including a semiconductor integrated circuit or a large-scale integrated circuit.

[0098] Furthermore, it is not essential for the mobile object management system 20 that multiple functions are integrated into one housing. The components of the mobile object management system 20 may be distributed across multiple housings. Furthermore, at least some of the functions of the mobile object management system 20, for example, the functions of the processing unit 23, may be realized by the cloud (cloud computing) or the like.

[0099] In the above embodiment, the mobile object management system 20 and the charge / discharge management system 50 are provided separately, but the mobile object management system 20 and the charge / discharge management system 50 may be provided integrally. In other words, the charge / discharge management system 50 may have the function of the mobile object management system 20.

[0100] In the above embodiment, the prediction unit 621 is provided in the EMS 60. However, the prediction unit may be provided in, for example, any of the usage management system 30, the power supply system 40, and the charge / discharge management system 50.

[0101] In the above-described embodiment, the mobile object information includes storage battery information such as the charging rate of the storage battery 110, but the information may not include the storage battery information. In this case, the mobile object management system 20 may estimate the charging rate of the storage battery 110 based on, for example, the position information and the travel distance information of the electric vehicle 100 included in the mobile object information.

[0102] In the above embodiment, the charging rate of the storage battery 110 of the electric vehicle 100, which is included in the mobile body information, is stored in the database 70, but this is not limited thereto. For example, the charging / discharging device 41 may obtain storage battery information, such as the charging rate of the storage battery 110, from the electric vehicle 100 and notify the mobile body management system 20 of the information. In this case, communication between the charging / discharging device 41 and the electric vehicle 100 is realized by wired communication or wireless communication. The wireless communication is, for example, wireless communication conforming to standards such as Wi-Fi (registered trademark), Bluetooth (registered trademark), ZigBee (registered trademark), or low-power radio that does not require a license (specified low-power radio), or infrared communication.
