The registered user information is stored in the user information storage unit 150 (FIG. 10). The system usage registration method is not particularly limited, and may be registration in writing, or may be registration by electronic application via a network (for example, registration on a website).

  The user information storage unit 150 includes a user ID which is identification information for identifying a user given to each user, communication destination information of a device such as HEMS or EMS of the power system of the user, and code information for authentication. including. The communication destination information is information for receiving information from a device such as HEMS or EMS of the power system of the user, and is, for example, an IP address of the device. The code information for authentication is information necessary for performing an authentication process with a device such as HEMS or EMS, and is, for example, a password or the like. Furthermore, the user information storage unit 150 may be configured to use account information (also referred to as user terminal ID) such as an e-mail address for accessing the server 10 (the information processing apparatus 100) or the web server from the user terminal and a password for logging in to the service. And.

  Furthermore, identification information (storage battery ID) that can specify the storage battery of the user's power system is stored in the user information storage unit 150 in association with the user ID. Here, the identification information of the storage battery may be, for example, at least one of information such as a model (model number), a maker name, and a product name. Or if it is the identification information which can specify the storage battery of FIG.5 (b) mentioned later, it will not be specifically limited.

  When using the present system, each user can log in to the present system by performing an authentication procedure by inputting a user ID and password registered as a user using a user terminal.

  The storage battery information storage unit 112 (FIG. 5) may have two data structure examples. The first example is the storage battery information storage unit 112a of FIG. 5A, and storage battery information such as rated capacity, rated output and model of storage battery is stored in association with identification information (user ID) of each user for each user. Be done. The second example is the storage battery information storage unit 112b of FIG. 5B, and storage battery information such as the rated capacity, rated output, and model of the storage battery is stored in association with the identification information (storage battery ID) of the storage battery. In the latter example, storage battery information corresponding to the storage battery ID for each user of the user information storage unit 150 of FIG. 10 can be read out from the storage battery information storage unit 112 b and used.

  The storage battery information stored in the storage battery information storage unit 112a and the storage battery information storage unit 112b may be input from the registration screen using the user terminal and transmitted to the server 10 at the time of user registration or at any time, or by the HEMS of the user. It may be acquired from the storage battery and transmitted to the server 10. In addition, the storage battery information storage unit 112 b may be created based on information of each maker and may be stored in the storage device 110.

  The storage battery state information storage unit 114 of FIG. 6 stores the storage battery state information received by the receiving unit 104 from each user's power system (for example, HEMS, EMS, etc.) in association with the user ID. The receiving unit 104 may receive state information of at least one of the storage batteries of the first user Ua and the second user Ub. The reception timing is regular or any time.

  Status information includes, for example, the date and time of receiving status information from the power system, current storage capacity of storage battery, available capacity, operation information (operation stop, charge, discharge, standby, full charge, error), error information (communication error, It may contain information such as system error). The storage battery state information storage unit 114 only needs to store at least information of the storage capacity of the current storage battery, and other information may not be stored. Furthermore, the state information may include the dischargeable capacity (or chargeable capacity) calculated by the control unit 130 based on the current storage capacity and the information on the rated capacity of the storage battery.

  These pieces of information are displayed on the screen where the first user Ua confirms the remaining capacity of the storage battery when the first user Ua and the second user Ub make a sales contract for power.

  The contract information storage unit 120 of FIG. 7A stores the contract information acquired by the acquisition unit 102. The contract information includes at least the user IDs of the first user Ua and the second user Ub, and the contracted power amount traded between the two parties. Furthermore, the contract information may include date and time when the contract was established, and identification information (contract number etc.) for identifying each contract.

  The timing at which the acquisition unit 102 acquires contract information is when the establishment of a contract between two parties is determined in at least one of the user terminals of the first user Ua and the second user Ub. As described later, in the screen for confirming the contract content displayed on at least one of the first user terminal 50 and the second user terminal 60, when at least one of the first user Ua and the second user Ub agrees with the content The control unit 130 may determine that the contract has been established.

  FIG. 7B shows an example of the data structure of the contract information storage unit 212 stored in the storage device 210 of the user terminal of each user. The contract information storage unit 212 stores at least the user ID of the contract partner and the amount of power sold in association with each other. The figure shows an example of the contract information storage unit 212 stored in the storage device 210 of the first user terminal 50 of the first user Ua. Furthermore, the contract information storage unit 212 may include the date and time when the contract was established, and identification information (contract number) for identifying each contract.

  Information regarding charge and discharge of the storage batteries of the first user Ua and the second user Ub for whom the contract is established (for example, discharge (charge) start time, discharge (charge) completion scheduled time) in the charge / discharge information storage unit 122 of FIG. Is stored in association with the user ID.

  The discharge (charge) start time and the discharge (charge) completion scheduled time are obtained by the control unit 130 based on the state information of the storage battery of each user received by the receiving unit 104. The discharge (charge) start time may be the time when the storage battery actually starts the operation of discharge (charge), or the information processing apparatus 100 transmits an instruction to start discharge (charge) to the EMS of each storage battery. The time may be the same or both.

  The determination of the charge / discharge completion by the determination unit 106 is performed on the charge / discharge information (charge amount or discharge amount) of at least one of the storage batteries of the first user Ua and the second user Ub (for example, the one whose charge completion time is late). It can be done based on. Therefore, the charge / discharge information storage unit 122 only needs to include charge / discharge information of at least one of the first user Ua and the second user Ub (for example, one whose charge completion time is later).

  The discharge (charge) completion scheduled time is calculated by the control unit 130 based on the amount of contracted discharge (charge) power, the state information (rated output, rated capacity) of the storage battery, and information related to the amount of power consumed by the user's load. Ru. The information such as the load power consumption of the user may use, for example, the information acquired from the HEMS, and the information may also be stored in the power consumption information storage unit (not shown) of the storage device 110 for each user. .

  In the charge / discharge amount storage unit 124 of FIG. 9A, a measurement value of the amount of power discharged (charged) from the storage battery received by the reception unit 104 is recorded together with date / time information.

  The receiving unit 104 measures the discharge amount and the charge amount from at least one of the measurement device that measures the discharge amount (reverse power flow value) of the storage battery of the first user Ua and the measurement device that measures the charge amount of the storage battery of the second user Ub. The charge / discharge information indicating at least one is received. The measuring device is, for example, a smart meter, HEMS, EMS, a power conditioning system (PCS), a current transformer (CT) or the like.

  The measurement value of the discharge amount may acquire the discharge amount (kWh) of the storage battery from the EMS 24 or HEMS 26 of the first user Ua, or the reverse power flow value (for example, 30) acquired from the smart meter SMa of the first user Ua. The minute value) may be acquired via the HEMS 26.

  The measurement value of the charge amount may acquire the charge amount (kWh) of the storage battery from the EMS 34 or HEMS 36 of the second user Ub, or the power consumption (for example, 30) obtained from the smart meter SMb of the second user Ub. The minute value or the instantaneous value may be acquired via the HEMS 36. The charge amount can be calculated from the power consumption amount acquired from the smart meter SMb and the power consumption amount of each load 38 of the second user Ub. Furthermore, when the second user Ub has a PV, the PV power generation amount may be further used to calculate the charge amount. That is, the power generation amount of the PV may be subtracted from the charge amount of the storage battery to calculate the amount of power supplied from the power system 40 (the storage battery of the first user Ua).

  After the establishment of the contract, the HEMS or each HEMS regularly or as needed until the determination unit 106 determines that the transfer of power between the first user Ua and the second user Ub is completed after the contract is established. It is acquired by inquiring the EMS, and is stored in the charge / discharge amount storage unit 124 together with date / time information.

  The charge / discharge amount information storage unit 126 of FIG. 9 (b) has information on at least one of the discharged (charged) power amount and the discharged (charged) remaining power amount with respect to the planned discharged (charged) power amount for each user. It is stored with the information. Further, the charge / discharge amount information may be indicated by the amount of power, or may be indicated by the ratio of the amount of discharge (charge) electric power or the amount of discharge (charge) remaining electric power to the planned amount of discharge (charge).

Based on the charge / discharge information (charge / discharge amount of the storage battery) received by the reception unit 104, the control unit 130 occupies the amount of contracted power as the amount of power transferred from the storage battery of the first user Ua to the storage battery of the second user Ub. Calculate the ratio. That is, the control unit 130 may further have a function of calculation means (not shown).
The charge / discharge amount information storage unit 126 stores a value calculated by the control unit 130 based on the contracted power amount and the charge amount or the discharge amount stored in the charge / discharge amount storage unit 124.

  As described later, the display unit 108 reads out the information of the charge / discharge amount information storage unit 126, and the transferred amount of power is the contracted amount of power for at least one of the first user terminal 50 and the second user terminal 60. By displaying an information screen showing the occupied percentage (%), it is possible to notify the user of the current movement status of power.

The information processing method of the information processing apparatus 100 of the present embodiment configured as described above will be described below.
FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the information processing apparatus 100 of the present embodiment.
The information processing method according to the embodiment of the present invention is an information processing method of the information processing apparatus 100, and is an information processing method executed by the computer 80 that realizes the information processing apparatus 100.
In the information processing method according to the present embodiment, the information processing apparatus 100 acquires contract information including the contracted power amount traded between the first user Ua and the second user Ub (step S101). The storage battery of the first user Ua when the power is moved from the storage battery of the first user Ua to the storage battery of the second user Ub by displaying on at least one of the first user terminal 50 and the second user terminal 60 (step S103) Whether charge / discharge amount information regarding at least one of the discharge amount of the second user Ub and the charge amount of the storage battery of the second user Ub has been received (step S105) and transfer of the contracted power amount is completed using the charge / discharge amount information (Step S107), and when it is determined that the movement of the power of the contracted power amount is completed (YES in step S107), the first user terminal 50 displays information to that effect. Preliminary to be displayed on at least one of the second user terminal 60 (step S109), it comprises.

  Further, it is assumed that an application program for receiving the service of the information processing system 1 is installed in advance in the user terminal of each user. As described above, each user terminal may access the web site of the information processing system 1 using a browser, and may display a screen dedicated to the user on the user terminal after login.

  Hereinafter, the operation of the information processing system 1 will be described by taking, as an example, a scene in which the first user Ua visits the store 70 and makes a payment with power using the service at the time of product purchase. FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an example of an operation flow of each device of the information processing system 1 of the present embodiment. FIG. 18 is a diagram showing the continuation of the operation flow of FIG.

  First, an application is activated on the first user terminal 50 (shown as the customer terminal 50 in the figure) of the first user Ua (step S201). At this time, the first user terminal 50 connects to the server 10 and performs a login procedure (not shown). Then, a communication device in the store 70 (for example, the second user terminal 60 or a relay (router, gateway, etc.) (not shown), etc.) is searched (step S203).

  Then, the second user terminal 60 (shown as the shop terminal 60 in the drawing) responds (step S205), and the first user terminal 50 establishes communication with the second user terminal 60. When the communication is established, the first user terminal 50 notifies the server 10 (step S207). Thereby, the display unit 108 causes the first user terminal 50 to display the power transaction screen 230 (FIG. 13) (step S209).

  The power transaction screen 230 includes a dischargeable capacity display unit 232 displaying an amount of power that can be discharged from the storage battery of the first user Ua, a transaction information display unit 234 displaying information on a trading partner, charge capacity and the like. Have.

  The display unit 108 causes the dischargeable capacity display unit 232 to display the dischargeable capacity of the first user Ua read from the storage battery state information storage unit 114 of FIG. 6. The example of FIG. 13 shows the power transaction screen 230 when the first user Ua purchases a product of the store 70 of the second user Ub with power. The commodity selection screen 240 of FIG. 14 may be displayed on the first user terminal 50 of the first user Ua. The product selection screen 240 displays the purchased product, its unit price, and the corresponding amount of power using a pull-down menu or a drum roll user interface, and can select the purchased product.

  The display unit 108 causes the transaction information display unit 234 to display information such as the unit price for each product read out from the power conversion information storage unit 128 of FIG.

  Here, although the case where the first user Ua visits the store 70 will be described as an example, for example, the corresponding power amount may be displayed together with the product price on the product purchase page in the online shopping. Then, it may be possible to select whether to pay by currency or pay by power when inputting the payment terms of the purchased product.

  Further, information on a plurality of trading partners (electricity compensation information and the like) may be displayed in a list or the like, and the first user Ua may be able to select a trading partner from the list.

  Referring back to FIG. 12, when the first user Ua decides to trade power based on the transaction content of the power transaction screen 230 and the decision button 236 is operated (step S211), the transaction content is notified to the server 10 (Step S213). The acquisition unit 102 acquires the content of this transaction as contract information, and stores it in the contract information storage unit 120 of FIG. 7A.

  Then, the display unit 108 reads the contract information from the contract information storage unit 120 of FIG. 7A, and causes the first user terminal 50 to display a confirmation screen 250 of the contract content of FIG. 16A (step S215). If the user agrees to the contract contents, the first user Ua presses the OK button 252. When canceling or modifying the contract, the first user Ua presses the cancel button 254. When the first user terminal 50 receives the pressing of the cancel button 254, the power transaction screen 230 (FIG. 13) can be returned to and the content of the transaction can be corrected.

  When the first user terminal 50 receives the pressing of the OK button 252, the server 10 is notified of the confirmation of the content of the contract (step S217), and the display unit 108 displays the transaction confirmation screen 260 of FIG. (Step S219). At this time, the server 10 updates the contract information storage unit 120 (FIG. 7A) with the determined contract information. The first user terminal 50 and the second user terminal 60 may also store contract information in the contract information storage unit 212 (FIG. 7B).

In this example, although the first user Ua confirms and confirms the contents of the contract and approves it (by pressing the OK button 252), the contract is fixed, but the method of fixing the contract may be another method, The following are exemplified but not limited thereto.
(C1) The first user terminal 50 displays the power purchase conditions (power purchase capacity, charge completion time (hour), charge, etc.) set by the second user Ub on the first user terminal 50, and the first user Ua consents or a plurality of power purchase conditions. Select from or set the power sale conditions that satisfy the purchase conditions and confirm the contract.
(C2) The power sale conditions (power sale capacity, discharge completion time (hours), charges, etc.) set by the first user Ua are displayed on the second user terminal 60, and the second user Ub approves or sells multiple power sale conditions Select from or set the power purchase conditions to meet the power sale conditions and confirm the contract.
(C3) Of the plurality of power sale and purchase conditions set by the first user Ua and the second user Ub (preferably set with a certain range of width), one that meets the condition is automatically selected. (At least one) is set and displayed on the first user terminal 50 or the second user terminal 60, and the first user Ua or the second user Ub approves or selects from a plurality of conditions and fixes the contract.
(C4) The condition set by either one of the first user Ua and the second user Ub is automatically adjusted to be within the range of the other condition and displayed, and the agreement is obtained with the consent of one of the users Determine.

  The transaction confirmation screen 260 of FIG. 16B includes a discharge side storage battery state display unit 262, a charge side storage battery state display unit 264, and a charge / discharge state display unit 266. The transaction confirmation screen 260 may include at least the discharge side storage battery state display portion 262 (for example, FIG. 17A), and the charge side storage battery state display portion 264 and the charge and discharge state display portion 266 are optional.

The discharge side storage battery state display unit 262 and the charge side storage battery state display unit 264 indicate the contracted amount of power to be traded by the area of the geometrically shaped figure or the design. Although a triangle is used here, this is an example. In the transaction confirmation screen 260, the discharge-side storage battery state display unit 262 and the charge-side storage battery state display unit 264 may use the same shape (or the same area with respect to the unit power amount) figures or designs. The shape is not particularly limited, and various shapes such as a circle, a square, a parallelogram, a trapezoid, a polygon, and a wing shape may be used.
Further, the shape and the area of the discharge side storage battery state display unit 262 and the charge side storage battery state display unit 264 may not necessarily be the same. For example, the storage battery with the large storage capacity may be shown large.

  The total area of each shape of discharge side storage battery state display portion 262 and charge side storage battery state display portion 264 indicates the contracted power amount. The area of the hatched area of the discharge side storage battery state display unit 262 indicates the ratio of the amount of power not yet moved from the storage battery of the first user Ua to the storage battery of the second user Ub with respect to the contracted power amount There is. The ratio to the contracted power amount of the charged power amount transferred from the storage battery of the first user Ua to the storage battery of the second user Ub is the area of the region indicated by the hatching of the charging-side storage battery state display 264.

Although the pattern which displays the charging / discharging condition of a storage battery on each user terminal by the display part 108 is illustrated below, it is not limited to these. Also, a plurality of display patterns may be combined.
(D1) Display the discharge rate to the first user terminal 50 of the seller (first user Ua), and the charge rate to the second user terminal 60 of the buyer (second user Ub) (d2) The actual discharge rate to the first user Display on at least one of the terminal 50 and the second user terminal 60 (d3) Display the actual charging rate on at least one of the first user terminal 50 and the second user terminal 60

  In the display pattern of (d1) above, the display unit 108 repeatedly displays, on the first user terminal 50, information indicating the ratio of the discharge amount of the storage battery of the first user Ua to the contracted power amount (ratio of the discharge amount) ( (Update) and causes the second user terminal 60 to repeatedly display (update) information indicating the ratio of the charge amount of the second user Ub storage battery to the contracted power amount (rate of the charge amount).

In the display pattern of (d2) above, the display unit 108 indicates, to at least one of the first user terminal 50 and the second user terminal 60, the ratio of the actual discharge amount of the storage battery of the first user Ua to the contracted power amount. Display information repeatedly (updated).
This display pattern is a suitable method when the discharge rate of the storage battery of the first user Ua is slower than the charge rate of the storage battery of the second user Ub.

In the display pattern of (d3) above, the display unit 108 indicates, to at least one of the first user terminal 50 and the second user terminal 60, the ratio of the actual charging amount of the storage battery of the second user Ub to the contracted power amount. Display information repeatedly (updated).
This display pattern is a suitable method when the charge rate of the storage battery of the second user Ub is slower than the discharge rate of the storage battery of the first user Ua.

  Each value used to calculate the ratio of the discharge amount or the charge amount can be read out from the charge / discharge amount information storage unit 126 and used for arithmetic processing. The calculated information on the discharge amount or the charge amount ratio may be further stored in the charge / discharge amount information storage unit 126 in association with date / time information for each user.

  Also, as will be described later, the actual discharge amount of the first user Ua and the actual charge amount of the second user Ub may not be the same due to the capacity difference of each storage battery. In the pattern (d1) above, for example, the actual discharge amount of the first user Ua is regarded as the charge amount of the second user Ub (or the actual charge amount of the second user Ub is the discharge amount of the first user Ua In any case, it includes the case where arithmetic processing is performed.

  The hatched portion of the transaction confirmation screen 260 is displayed, for example, with a color different from that of the other portions. Here, for example, the hatched portion is shown in green. As the charge and discharge progress between the first user Ua and the second user Ub storage battery, the area of the hatched portion of discharge side storage battery state display portion 262 decreases, and the area of the hatched portion of charge side storage battery state display portion 264 is large. It will be. In addition, the display unit 108 may perform animation effects on the discharge-side storage battery state display unit 262 and the charge-side storage battery state display unit 264 so as to indicate that charging and discharging are in progress. For example, during discharge, an animation effect is applied such that the hatched portion of discharge side storage battery state display portion 262 moves downward, and during charging, the hatched portion of charge side storage battery state display portion 264 moves upward. It may be drawn with an animation effect as if moving.

  The charge / discharge state display unit 266 indicates that charge / discharge is being performed, and an animation expressing that power is transferred from the discharge-side storage battery state display unit 262 to the charge-side storage battery state display unit 264 during charge / discharge It is drawn with an effect. When charging / discharging is interrupted, an icon indicating that is displayed in red (for example, the charging / discharging state display unit 266 in FIG. 17B) and displayed in green when charging / discharging is completed. The color or shape may be changed or the display method (animation etc.) may be changed according to the state of charge and discharge.

The receiving unit 104 receives information indicating the charge / discharge status of the storage battery of the first user Ua.
When the storage battery of the first user Ua is in the discharge stop state, the display unit 108 is that the discharge from the storage battery of the first user Ua is stopped in any one of the first user terminal 50 and the second user terminal 60 Display information showing.

  When the contract establishment is confirmed in contract content confirmation screen 250 (FIG. 16A), control unit 130 controls EMS 24 and EMS 34 for controlling the storage battery of the first user Ua and the storage battery of the second user Ub according to the contract information. The start of each is instructed (Steps S221 and S223 in FIG. 12).

  In the first power system 20, discharge from the storage battery to the power system 40 is started according to the discharge instruction (step S225). In the second power system 30, charging of the storage battery from the power system 40 is started according to the charging instruction (step S227). At this time, the server 10 stores the discharge (charge) start time in the charge / discharge information storage unit 122 (FIG. 8).

  Proceeding to FIG. 18, while the storage battery of the first power system 20 is discharge-controlled (step S233) and the storage battery of the second power system 30 is charge-controlled (step S235), the display unit 108 displays FIG. Is displayed on the first user terminal 50 while updating it in real time as follows (step S245).

  The HEMS 26 acquires the measurement value of the discharge amount of the first power system 20 (step S 237), and transmits the measurement value to the server 10 (step S 239). The HEMS 36 acquires the measurement value of the charge amount of the second power system 30 (step S241), and transmits the measurement value to the server 10 (step S243). In the server 10, the receiving unit 104 receives each measurement value, and stores it in the charge / discharge amount storage unit 124 of FIG. 9A. Further, the control unit 130 calculates the discharged (charged) power amount and the discharged (charged) remaining power amount, and stores them in the charge / discharge amount information storage unit 126 of FIG. 9 (b).

  Then, the display unit 108 reads the discharged (charged) power amount and the discharged (charged) remaining power amount from the charge / discharge amount information storage unit 126 of FIG. 9B, and updates the transaction confirmation screen 260 (step S245).

  Then, based on the discharged (charged) power amount read from the charge / discharge amount information storage unit 126, the determination unit 106 determines whether or not the power transfer between the first user Ua and the second user Ub is completed. Here, the processing of acquisition, transmission, screen update and movement completion judgment (steps S233 to S247) of the measurement value of the charge and discharge amount is repeatedly performed in real time, periodically or as needed, until the completion of the power movement is detected. Ru.

  When the completion of the power transfer is detected (step S247), the display unit 108 causes the first user terminal 50 to display a transaction confirmation screen 270 (FIG. 19) notifying that the power transfer has been completed (step S249).

As the display method of the discharge side storage battery state display part 262 in charge / discharge in step S245 and the charge side storage battery state display part 264, the following several patterns can be considered.
(E1) Display matched to actual discharge amount (e2) Display matched to actual charge amount (e3) Display matched to actual discharge amount and actual charge amount

Each display method will be described in detail below.
(E1) Display according to the actual discharge amount (Fig. 20 (a))
Discharge-side storage battery state display portion 262 includes a remaining discharge amount display region 262a shown by hatching and a discharge amount display region 262b of a region other than the remaining discharge amount display region 262a. The remaining discharge amount display area 262a indicates the remaining undischarged capacity not yet discharged, which is obtained by subtracting the actual discharge amount of the storage battery of the first user Ua from the contracted power amount. The discharge amount display area 262b indicates the actual discharge amount of the storage battery of the first user Ua.

  Charge-side storage battery state display portion 264 includes a charge amount display area 264 b indicated by hatching and a remaining charge amount display area 264 a of the other areas. The charge amount display area 264b indicates not the actual charge amount of the storage battery of the second user Ub, but a temporary charge amount based on the amount of power actually discharged from the storage battery of the first user Ua. The remaining charge amount display area 264 a indicates a temporary uncharged capacity calculated from the actual discharge amount of the first user Ua in the contracted power amount.

  In this example, the remaining discharge amount display region 262a and the charge amount display region 264b, and the discharge amount display region 262b and the remaining charge amount display region 264a have the same area.

(E2) Display according to the actual charge amount (Fig. 20 (c))
The charge amount display area 264b of the charge side storage battery state display portion 264 indicates the actual charge amount of the storage battery of the second user Ub. The remaining charge amount display area 264a indicates the remaining uncharged capacity obtained by subtracting the actual charge amount from the contracted power amount.

  The remaining discharge amount display area 262a of the discharge-side storage battery state display unit 262 is not the actual remaining undischarged capacity obtained by subtracting the actual discharge amount of the storage battery of the first user Ua from the contracted power amount. The temporary undischarged capacity calculated from the actual charge amount of the storage battery of the user Ub is shown. The discharge amount display area 262b indicates not the actual discharge amount of the storage battery of the first user Ua, but a temporary discharge amount calculated from the contracted power amount and the actual charge amount of the storage battery of the second user Ub.

  Also in this example, the remaining discharge amount display region 262a and the charge amount display region 264b, and the discharge amount display region 262b and the remaining charge amount display region 264a have the same area.

(E3) Display according to the actual discharge amount and the actual charge amount (FIG. 20 (b))
The remaining discharge amount display area 262a of the discharge side storage battery state display portion 262 indicates the actual discharge amount. The discharged amount display area 262b indicates the remaining undischarged capacity not yet discharged, which is obtained by subtracting the actual discharged amount of the storage battery of the first user Ua from the contracted power amount. The discharge amount display area 262b indicates the actual undischarged capacity.

  The charge amount display area 264b of the charge side storage battery state display portion 264 indicates the actual charge amount of the storage battery of the second user Ub. The remaining charge amount display area 264a indicates the remaining uncharged capacity obtained by subtracting the actual charge amount from the contracted power amount. The remaining charge amount display area 264a indicates an actual non-predetermined capacity.

  In addition, the discharge side storage battery state display unit 262 and the charge side storage battery state display unit 264 may be separately displayed on the first user terminal 50 and the second user terminal 60, respectively. For example, only the discharge side storage battery state display portion 262 of FIG. 20 (b) is displayed on the first user terminal 50, and only the charge side storage battery state display portion 264 of FIG. 20 (b) is displayed on the second user terminal 60. May be displayed.

  21 and 22 show another example of the power transaction screen. In this example, not only the product purchase but also a power sale contract is concluded, and the next visit point is acquired as the price. Hereinafter, description will be made according to the flows of FIG. 12 and FIG.

  The power transaction screen 280a of FIG. 21 (a) is displayed on the first user terminal 50 in step S209 of FIG. 12, and the discharge side storage battery state display portion 262 and the charge side similar to the transaction confirmation screen 260 of FIG. 16 (b). A storage battery state display unit 264 is included. As illustrated, the dischargeable storage battery state display unit 262 and the charging storage battery state display unit 264 may each indicate a contractable amount of power.

  Further, the power transaction screen 280a includes a confirmation button 281, a cancel button 282, and a price display field 283 for displaying information on the price on the buyer side. In this example, the consideration display column 283 shows an incentive (point) per unit purchased power amount. In this store 70, for 1 (kWh), the point which can be used at the next visit is given to the first user Ua by 100 Pt. The owned points for each user are stored in a user point information storage unit (not shown) of the storage device 110. When points are given to the user, they are added to the user's accumulated points, and the calculated accumulated points are also stored in the user point information storage unit.

Then, when the first user Ua who has confirmed the transaction content agrees with the transaction content, the confirmation button 281 is pressed. On the other hand, when it is desired to change the transaction content, the cancel button 282 is pressed.
When the cancel button 282 is pressed, the screen changes to a selection screen (not shown) for a supplier, a power sale amount, etc., and after selection, returns to the power transaction screen 280a again.

  When the confirmation button 281 is pressed, the transaction content is notified to the server 10 (step S213), and the power transaction screen 280b of FIG. 21B is displayed by the display unit 108 (step S215). The power transaction screen 280 b includes a tradable display unit 284, an OK button 285, a cancel button 286, and a message display unit 287.

  The tradable display unit 284 may be an image such as an icon and may display an arrow indicating that power can be transferred from the storage battery of the first user Ua to the storage battery of the second user Ub. In the message display unit 287, both the charge or discharge capacities of the storage batteries of the first user Ua and the second user Ub are secured for the contracted power amount, and a message indicating that the battery can be moved is displayed.

Then, when the first user Ua confirming the content confirms the contract, the OK button 285 is pressed. On the other hand, when it is desired to change or cancel the contract content, the cancel button 286 is pressed.
When the cancel button 286 is pressed, the screen changes to a selection screen (not shown) for a supplier, a sale of electric power, etc., and after selection, returns to the power transaction screen 280a again. When the OK button 285 is pressed, a contract is established. At this time, a notice of contract confirmation is transmitted to the server 10 (step S217), and the acquisition unit 102 acquires the contract information. Then, the transaction confirmation screen 260 of FIG. 22 (a) is displayed by the display unit 108 (step S219).

  This transaction confirmation screen 260 is the same as FIG. 16 (b). Then, charge / discharge control of the storage battery of each user is started by control unit 130 (step S221, step S223, step S225, step S227). The charge / discharge amount of the storage battery is displayed on the transaction confirmation screen 260 while being updated in real time as described above during the charge / discharge control (step S231 in FIG. 18).

  Then, when it is determined that charging and discharging of the storage batteries of the first user Ua and the second user Ub are completed (Step S247 in FIG. 18), the transaction confirmation screen 290 in FIG. 22 is displayed by the display unit 108 (Step S249). ). The transaction confirmation screen 290 includes a movement completion icon display unit 272 similar to the transaction confirmation screen 270 of FIG. 19 and a movement completion message display unit 274 displaying a message indicating that the power transaction has been completed. Furthermore, the transaction confirmation screen 290 includes an acquired point display unit 288 and a current accumulated point display unit 289.

  When the control unit 130 determines that the movement of the power of the contracted power amount is completed by the determination unit 106, information (points, tickets, charges, etc.) indicating an incentive to be given to the first user Ua as compensation for power purchase and sale Output). That is, the control unit 130 further has a function of an output unit (not shown). The information indicating the incentive is read from the above-mentioned user point information storage unit.

  Here, an example in which the information output by the control unit 130 is displayed on the transaction confirmation screen 290 is shown. In addition to the display on the transaction confirmation screen 290, the control unit 130 various output methods such as pop-up display, notification to notification column, banner display, batch display, message transmission to a predetermined destination, sound output, vibration output, etc. The information may be output by at least one or a combination of

  The acquired point display unit 288 displays the value of the point acquired this time read from the user point information storage unit. Furthermore, the value of the accumulated points is read out from the user point information storage unit and displayed on the present accumulated point display unit 289.

As described above, according to the information processing apparatus 100 of the present embodiment, when buying and selling power, it is possible to easily convey the movement situation of the power accompanying buying and selling to the user. For example, in the information processing apparatus 100 of the present embodiment, when the determination unit 106 detects the completion of the power transfer, the display unit 108 sets at least the discharge-side storage battery state display unit 262 of the transaction confirmation screen 270 in FIG. It is displayed on the user terminal 50. When the charge and discharge of the storage battery takes time, it is not possible to immediately confirm whether the charge and discharge have actually been normally completed in each storage battery, that is, whether or not the content of the contract has been fulfilled, after the contract is decided.
According to the information processing apparatus 100 of the present embodiment, the intermediate results of charging and discharging of each storage battery can be confirmed, and the user can be notified of the completion of charging and discharging.

The smart meter SMb of the second user Ub measures the power supplied from the power system 40 to the second power system 30 as the amount of power consumption, and transmits it to the server of the power company. And a power company is calculating the electricity bill of the 2nd user Ub based on this measurement value.
However, in the present embodiment, the power supplied from the power system 40 to the second power system 30 includes not only the power supplied from the power company but also the power purchased from the first user Ua. The measured value of the meter SMb includes not only the power purchased by the second user Ub from the power company but also the power purchased from the first user Ua.

  Therefore, the server 10 transmits information on the contracted power amount purchased by the second user Ub from the first user Ua to the server of the power company. Then, the server of the power company subtracts the contracted power amount from the total power consumption of the second user Ub in the predetermined period collected from the smart meter SMb, and calculates the electricity charge based on the result. In this way, the amount of electricity billed from the power company does not include the amount of power purchased by the second user Ub from the first user Ua.

In addition, the smart meter SMa of the first user Ua measures the power reversely flowed from the first power system 20 to the power system 40 and transmits the power to the server of the power company. The power company purchases the reverse flow of power from the first user Ua, and pays the first user Ua a power charge. Therefore, the power company calculates the power rate to be paid to the first user Ua based on the measurement value of the smart meter SMa.
However, in the present embodiment, the power returned to the power system 40 from the first power system 20 includes not only the power sold to the power company but also the power sold to the second user Ub. Therefore, the measurement value of the smart meter SMa includes not only the power sold by the first user Ua to the power company but also the power sold by the second user Ub.

  Therefore, the server 10 transmits, to the server of the power company, information on the contracted power amount that the first user Ua sold to the second user Ub. Then, the server of the power company subtracts the contracted power amount from the reverse flow value of the first user Ua collected from the smart meter SMa, and calculates the electricity charge based on the result. In this way, the power rate paid by the power company to the first user Ua does not include the amount of power sold by the first user Ua to the second user Ub.

Second Embodiment
The information processing apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment is different from the above embodiment in that the information processing apparatus 100 has a configuration for determining whether or not movement of power can be performed between the first user Ua and the second user Ub.
The information processing apparatus 100 of the present embodiment has the same configuration as that of the above embodiment, and therefore will be described using the drawings of the above embodiment.

First, a configuration for determining whether or not movement of power is possible will be described.
Control unit 130 determines whether or not movement of the power of the contracted power amount from the storage battery of first user Ua to the second user Ub storage battery is possible. That is, the control unit 130 has a function of an availability determination unit. Display unit 108 determines a contract establishment on at least one of first user terminal 50 and second user terminal 60 based on contract information when control unit 130 determines that power transfer is possible (for example, a contract screen (for example, The contract content confirmation screen 250 of FIG. 16 (a) or the power transaction screen 280b of FIG. 21 (b) is displayed.
For example, when it is determined that movement of power is possible, the display unit 108 causes the screen 280a of FIG. 21A described in the above embodiment to transition to the screen 280b of FIG. 21B.

Although the conditions of the determination of possibility are illustrated below, it is not limited to these. A plurality of the following may be combined. The conditions may be prioritized, or may be used as a conditional expression including a logical sum or a logical product of a plurality of conditions for determination.
(F1) Desired trading capacity ≦ if dischargeable capacity of storage battery of first user Ua (<stored amount) determines moving possible (f2) trading expected capacity ≦ chargeable capacity of storage battery of second user Ub (<vacant capacity) If it is determined that it is possible to move (f3) if the desired trading capacity is within the range of the power sale desired capacity, it is determined to be movable (f4) if the desired trading capacity is within the range for the desired power purchase it is determined to be movable (f5) If the discharge completion time (or time) of the desired capacity is the desired discharge completion time (or time) of the second user Ub, it is determined that the movement is possible (f6) the charge completion time (or time) of the desired capacity for trading is the second user Ub It is determined that it can move if the desired charge completion time (or within) of

  Here, the desired trading capacity is the amount of power that at least one of the first user Ua and the second user Ub desires to trade, and the desired trading capacity is the contract power when the desired trading capacities match with each other and the contract is established. It is determined as a quantity.

  The first user Ua may be able to specify the power sale desired capacity in advance or at the time of contract on the setting screen (not shown). The power sale desired capacity designated by the first user Ua is stored in the power sale condition storage unit 140 of FIG. 23A for each user. Furthermore, the sale price may be designated.

  Furthermore, the power purchase desired capacity range of the second user Ub, the desired purchase price (or desired purchase consideration (such as point conversion)), the desired discharge completion time (or within the time), etc. It may be possible to specify on the setting screen (not shown). The information designated by the second user Ub is stored in the power purchase condition storage unit 142 of FIG. 23B for each user. As illustrated, one user may specify a plurality of conditions.

  The purchase consideration price and the purchase price are an amount or an incentive price to be paid by the second user Ub as compensation for receiving the power supply from the first user Ua. As shown in FIG. 23B, a certain second user Ub may separately set the amount of money purchased by money and the amount of electricity purchased by an incentive as power purchase conditions. Alternatively, different unit prices may be set for each power purchase amount range as the power purchase conditions.

  The power sale desired price is a price that the first user Ua receives as compensation for supplying power to the second user Ub or a desired unit price of an incentive (not shown). Although not illustrated, a certain first user Ua may set a unit price different for each range of the power sale amount as the power sale condition. Moreover, since an incentive changes conditions for every shop, you may set the desired unit price different for every shop.

  In the power sale condition storage unit 140 of FIG. 23A, the power sale conditions of the first user Ua (for example, desired power sale capacity (kWh), desired price for sales (yen / kWh)) are associated with the user ID. It is memorized.

  The first user Ua is also considered to sell power to a plurality of second users Ub, and the power sale desired capacity indicates the maximum value of the total power to sell to a plurality of second users Ub. The current storage capacity and the rated capacity of the storage battery of the first user Ua may be displayed and presented to the first user Ua on the screen on which the first user Ua specifies the power sale desired capacity. Alternatively, the power amount required by the first user Ua is automatically calculated based on the current storage capacity, the history information of the power consumption of the first user Ua, or the like from the rated capacity of the storage battery of the first user Ua. The power sale desired capacity may be displayed on the screen to specify and presented to the first user Ua.

  Furthermore, the power sale desired capacity and the dischargeable capacity may be compared, and the result may be presented to the first user Ua to prompt a change of the power sale desired capacity. For example, if the power sale desired capacity is larger than the dischargeable capacity, the user may be prompted to change the power sale desired capacity smaller than the dischargeable capacity. Conversely, if the power sale desired capacity is smaller than the dischargeable capacity, that effect may be notified, and further, it may be notified that the power sale desired capacity can be increased.

  The second user Ub is also considered to buy power from the plurality of first users Ua, and the power purchase desired capacity indicates the maximum value of the total power purchased from the plurality of first users Ua. The current storage capacity and the rated capacity of the storage battery of the second user Ub may be displayed and presented to the second user Ub on the screen where the second user Ub specifies the power purchase desired capacity. Alternatively, based on the current storage capacity of the storage battery of the second user Ub or the history information of the power consumption of the second user Ub, the power amount required by the second user Ub is automatically calculated. It is also possible to display it on the screen for specifying the power purchase desired capacity and to present it to the second user Ub.

  Alternatively, the power purchase desired capacity and the chargeable capacity may be compared, and the result may be presented to the second user Ub to prompt a change in the power purchase desired capacity. For example, if the power purchase desired capacity is larger than the chargeable capacity, the user may be prompted to change the power purchase desired capacity smaller than the chargeable capacity. On the contrary, when the power purchase desired capacity is smaller than the chargeable capacity, it may be notified that the power purchase desired capacity is increased.

  The power purchase condition of the second user Ub may or may not be displayed on the first user terminal 50 of the first user Ua. Alternatively, the user may specify for each condition whether the information can be disclosed or not. The condition designated to be openable may be displayed on the first user terminal 50 of the first user Ua, and the first user Ua may be able to select and contract among the conditions.

The dischargeable capacity is exemplified below, but is not limited thereto.
(G1) Actual storage amount of the storage battery of the first user Ua at that time (g2) Disposable capacity estimated from the storage amount considering the own power consumption of the first user Ua (g3) Trading of the first user Ua Desired capacity (may be larger than actual storage capacity)

  If it is determined in (g3) that the desired trading capacity (or the contracted power amount) is larger than the actual storage amount, the contracted power amount may be discharged in total while repeating discharging and charging a plurality of times. Moreover, when the discharge amount per unit time calculated by equation (1) described later is small and it takes time to discharge the trading capacity (or the contracted power amount), the discharge is divided into a plurality of times and performed. The battery can also be charged during discharge and between discharges. By doing so, the dischargeable capacity can also be increased.

The chargeable capacity is exemplified below, but is not limited thereto.
(H1) Actual free capacity of the storage battery of the second user Ub at that time (h2) Chargeable capacity estimated from the storage amount considering the power consumption of the first user Ua (h3) Trading of the second user Ub Desired capacity (may be larger than actual free capacity)
In the case of (h3), the contract power amount may be charged in total while repeating discharging and charging a plurality of times.

  The dischargeable capacity and the chargeable capacity are stored in storage battery state information storage unit 114 of FIG.

  Here, it is conceivable that the storage battery of the first user Ua or the second user Ub supplies power to the load of each user in addition to charging and discharging the power system 40. The amount of power consumed by the load per unit time is called private power consumption. Therefore, there is a possibility that the dischargeable capacity can not secure the power capacity (referred to as a storage capacity) stored in the storage battery of the first user Ua. On the other hand, there is also a possibility that the chargeable capacity can be larger than the free capacity of the storage battery of the second user Ub.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, the dischargeable capacity or the chargeable capacity is estimated in consideration of the user's own power consumption.

The receiving unit 104 receives storage battery information indicating the rated output and storage amount of the storage battery of the first user Ua.
Control unit 130 estimates the dischargeable capacity of the first storage battery based on the storage battery information of the storage battery of first user Ua. That is, the control unit 130 further has a function of estimation means (not shown).
Display unit 108 causes at least one of first user terminal 50 and second user terminal 60 to display the estimated dischargeable capacity of the storage battery of first user Ua (for example, power transaction screen 230 in FIG. 13).

  Also, the estimated dischargeable capacity may be used also for determining whether the power transfer by the control unit 130 is possible.

Hereinafter, a method of estimating the dischargeable capacity will be described.
The amount of discharge that can actually be discharged from the storage battery of the first user Ua to the power grid 40 per unit time is calculated by the following equation (1).
Discharge amount per unit time = rated output of storage battery-private power consumption · · · (1)

If the discharge amount per unit time of equation (1) is multiplied by the discharge time when discharging at rated output from the storage amount of the storage battery at the contract time, the dischargeable capacity is calculated by the following equation (2).
Dischargeable capacity = stored electricity amount × (rated output−private power consumption) / rated output ・ ・ ・ Expression (2)

The receiving unit 104 receives storage battery information relating to the amount of power consumed per unit time of the storage battery of the first user Ua and the rated output of the storage battery from the HEMS 26 or the EMS 24.
The storage battery information includes at least a self consumption amount per unit time of the storage battery and a rated output of the storage battery.
In addition, the self consumption power amount per unit time accumulates the history information of the self power consumption of the first user Ua, and calculates, for example, the average power consumption amount for each monthly time zone. The ones used can be used.
And control part 130 computes dischargeable capacity using the above-mentioned formula (2).

  The dischargeable capacity calculated in this manner is stored in the storage battery state information storage unit 114 of FIG. 6, and further read by the display unit 108 and displayed on the dischargeable capacity display unit 232 of the power transaction screen 230 of FIG. It may be displayed. As described above, the dischargeable capacity displays at least one of the plurality of values (g1) to (g3). A plurality of values may be displayed, in which case it is preferable to display together information indicating which values are being displayed.

The discharge completion time (or time) of the above (f5) and the charge completion time (or time) of the above (f6) will be described below.
The discharge (charge) completion time is (i1) when each user sets the discharge (or charge) start time, (i2) when the discharge (or charge) is automatically started after the contract is established, (i3) charge The calculation method is different depending on the case where the discharge is divided and performed a plurality of times.
First, the control unit 130 calculates the time taken to discharge (or charge) when the discharge (or charge) is continuously performed. That is, the control unit 130 corresponds to a calculation unit.

  Also, the chargeable capacity can be estimated as well as the dischargeable capacity. Detailed description is omitted here.

The receiving unit 104 receives information indicating at least one of the discharge capacity per unit time of the storage battery of the first user Ua and the charge capacity per unit time of the storage battery of the second user Ub.
The control unit 130 completes the discharge of the contracted power amount of the storage battery of the first user Ua based on the information indicating at least one of the discharge capacity of the storage battery of the first user Ua and the charge capacity of the storage battery of the second user Ub. At least one of the required discharge time and the required charge time for the storage battery of the second user Ub to complete charging of the contracted power amount is calculated.

The discharge (or charge) capacity per unit time of the storage battery differs depending on whether there is power consumed by the user or not. For example, if there is no self-consumed power, the rated output of the storage battery is the discharge capacity per unit time. If there is power to be consumed by the user, the discharge capacity per unit time can be determined by the above equation (1).
In addition, for the charging capability, for example, the receiving unit 104 acquires information indicating what percentage of the rated current of the storage battery is to be charged, and based on the information, the control unit 130 controls the charging capacity per unit time. Can be calculated.

  Then, the control unit 130 divides the contracted power amount by the calculated discharge (or charge) capacity per unit time to calculate the required time for the discharge (or charge). The calculated required time may be stored in the charge / discharge information storage unit 122.

  In the case of (i1), the control unit 130 calculates a discharge (or charge) completion scheduled time based on the start time and the required time set by the user. In the case of (i2), the control unit 130 calculates a discharge (or charge) completion scheduled time based on the time when the charge / discharge control is started and the required time.

  In the case of (i3), the control unit 130 creates a schedule of times to execute discharge and charge according to the following conditions of charge and discharge control, and according to the schedule, the scheduled time of discharge (or charge) reaches the required time The time is calculated and taken as the discharge (or charge) completion scheduled time.

Although the conditions of charge / discharge control of a storage battery are illustrated below, it is not limited to these. Also, a plurality of conditions may be combined (logical sum or logical product).
(J1) If the storage amount of the storage battery on the discharge side is less than the first threshold, stop the discharge of the storage battery on the discharge side and perform charging (j2) if the unit price of the power grid 40 is lower than the first predetermined amount Stop the discharge of the storage battery on the discharge side and perform charging (j3) If the power unit price of the power system 40 is higher than the second predetermined amount, discharge the storage battery on the discharge side (j4) If the discharge amount per unit time (rated output of storage battery-home power consumption) is less than the second threshold (or if home power consumption is more than a predetermined value), discharge the storage battery on the discharge side and stop charging ( j5) Discharge with the battery on the discharge side (based on the contract) during the time zone specified by the second user Ub (or the first user Ua), and charge with the battery on the charge side (j6) Vacancy of the battery on the charge side If the capacity is less than the third threshold, It stops charging, when the supply to the load 38 (discharge) to (j7) space on the charge side of the battery is equal to or greater than the fourth threshold value, for charging the charging side of the battery

Moreover, after contracting, the case where charging / discharging for the amount of contract electric power can not be performed by defect etc. of the 1st user Ua or the storage battery of 2nd user Ub etc. can be considered.
Therefore, when it is determined that the movement of the power of the contracted power amount is completed, control unit 130 provides information indicating an incentive determined based on the contract condition and the actual discharge content of the storage battery as the first user terminal 50. Output to

Although the determination method of an incentive is illustrated below, it is not limited to these. A plurality of the following may be combined.
(K1) If the amount of discharge up to a predetermined time (such as a scheduled discharge completion time or a desired discharge completion time) is smaller than the contracted power amount, the incentive is reduced according to the shortage.
(K2) If the discharge completion time is later than a predetermined time (such as the discharge completion scheduled time or the discharge completion desired time), the incentive is reduced according to the delay time.

  The output method of the information indicating the incentive is the same as the above embodiment, and the display on the transaction confirmation screen 290 (FIG. 22 (b)), the pop-up display, the notification to the notification column, the banner display, the batch display, the predetermined destination The information may be output by at least one or a combination of various output methods, such as messaging, sound output, and vibration output.

According to this embodiment, the same effect as that of the above embodiment can be obtained.
Furthermore, as described above, according to the present embodiment, it is determined whether or not power transfer is possible, and, for example, when the transfer is possible, the display unit 108 displays a screen for establishing a contract. Therefore, if it is determined that the power transfer is not possible, the contract can not be advanced, so that a non-performance contract can not be concluded.

  In addition, the user can know in advance the travel time of the electric power to be traded because the user can calculate the range of the amount of power that can be charged / discharged by each user, the required time for charging / discharging, etc. be able to. Furthermore, since the current status of power transfer between storage batteries is displayed while updating in real time, each user can know the status of transfer of power between storage batteries in real time. Since charging and discharging of the storage battery may take time, it is convenient to be able to check the status of the storage battery each time.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the drawings, these are merely examples of the present invention, and various configurations other than the above can also be adopted.
For example, in the second user Ub, a configuration will be described below in which the power purchased from the first user Ua is consumed by the load 38 instead of charging the storage battery.
In this configuration, the control unit 130 of the server 10 does not issue a charge control instruction to the second power system 30 of the second user Ub. Then, the information on the contracted power amount purchased by the second user Ub from the first user Ua is transmitted to the power company. The server of the power company subtracts the contract power amount from the power consumption amount of the second user Ub collected from the smart meter SMb, and calculates the electricity charge based on the result.

  Further, instead of receiving the charge amount of the storage battery of the second power system 30, the receiving unit 104 receives the measurement value of the smart meter SMb after the discharge is started from the first power system 20 after the contract is concluded, The charge / discharge amount storage unit 124 stores it as a charge amount measurement value. Then, the control unit 130 calculates an integrated value of the measurement values, and continues integration until the integrated value reaches the contracted power amount. The control unit 130 stores the calculated integrated value in the charge / discharge amount information storage unit 126 as the charged electric energy. The display unit 108 reads out the charged power amount from the charge / discharge amount information storage unit 126 and displays it on the screen.

  When the integrated value becomes equal to the contracted power amount, the determining unit 106 completes the transfer of the contracted power amount from the first power system 20 of the first user Ua to the second power system 30 of the second user Ub. You may judge.

Although the present invention has been described above with reference to the embodiments and the examples, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments and the examples. The configurations and details of the present invention can be modified in various ways that can be understood by those skilled in the art within the scope of the present invention.
In the case of acquiring and using information about the user in the present invention, this shall be performed legally.

Some or all of the above embodiments may be described as in the following appendices, but is not limited to the following.
