<Overview>
The solar cell panel of this embodiment and the electric device equipped with the storage battery acquire information on the scheduled sunshine time, and based on the current time, the scheduled sunshine time, the amount of received light, and the charged state of the storage battery, It is possible to calculate and notify the charge completion time or the end time of the scheduled sunshine time and the expected charge rate at the corresponding time, so how much charge can be done within the time that can be charged with sunlight before charging is completed It becomes possible to know.

<Configuration>
Drawing 1 is a figure showing an example of a functional block of an electric equipment provided with a solar cell panel of this example, and its storage battery. As shown in this figure, “Electrical equipment” 0100 includes “Solar cell panel” 0101, “Storage battery” 0102, “Current date and time acquisition unit” 0103, “Scheduled sunshine time acquisition unit” 0104, and “Light receiving amount”. It comprises a “detection unit” 0105, a “charge state detection unit” 0106, a “first calculation unit” 0107, and a “first notification unit” 0108.

Note that the functional blocks of the apparatus described below can be realized as hardware, software, or both hardware and software. Further, the present invention can be realized not only as an apparatus but also as a method (the same applies throughout the present specification).

“Electrical equipment” in this embodiment is premised on being moved and used. In other words, this is not an electric device that is used in a fixed state at a certain location, but an electric device that cannot receive a steady power supply. For example, mobile terminal devices such as mobile phones, PHS, PDAs, and portable music devices are conceivable. In addition, electric devices incorporated in automobiles, motorcycles, ships, etc. also fall under this category. However, this does not deny the use in an electric device that is fixed in a certain place and cannot receive a steady power supply.

“The current date and time acquisition unit” has a function of acquiring the current date and time. That is, it is possible to acquire the current date and time. The information can be acquired from the internal clock of the electric device or can be acquired from a time server (such as a radio clock). The acquisition timing is not particularly limited, and can be acquired at an arbitrary timing. For example, the structure acquired immediately before the process in the 1st calculation part described below can be considered.

”The“ planned sunshine time acquisition unit ”has a function of acquiring the planned sunshine time. Here, the scheduled sunshine time refers to the time scheduled to receive sunlight. In addition, receiving sunlight does not only show the case where sunlight is received directly, but also includes the case where light is received indirectly via reflected light. The planned sunshine hours may be calculated from the time from the current time to the scheduled sunset time (Examples 2 and 3), but the configuration is further calculated using the set input scheduled cutoff time ( Example 4) is also possible.

“The received light amount detection unit” has a function of detecting the received light amount. Here, as a method of detecting the amount of received light, there are a configuration in which a light receiving element is provided and a configuration in which a solar cell panel is used. When a light receiving element is provided, the amount of light received by the light receiving element can be acquired as data by executing a received light amount detection program or the like in advance. The light receiving element and the received light amount detection program can use the configuration of a camera device incorporated in advance in a mobile phone or the like.

Also, the solar cell panel itself can be used, and the amount of received light can be detected from the value of the current flowing from the solar cell panel to the storage battery. Further, the detection unit of the received light amount detection unit may be a current unit, and it is not particularly necessary to convert the received light amount into a physical unit.

It is also possible to provide a light-receiving element capable of receiving light in the ultraviolet wavelength range and obtain the amount of ultraviolet light together. For example, it is also possible to acquire the amount of ultraviolet rays as data and report it as a tanning index by the first notification unit described below. Here, a configuration in which a table that associates the amount of ultraviolet rays with the value of the sunburn index is possible, and a configuration in which a program based on a predetermined function is also possible.

The “charge state detection unit” has a function of detecting the charge state of the storage battery. As a method for detecting the state of charge, a method for detecting a current value flowing into the storage battery or a voltage value of the storage battery is considered as an example. It is possible to detect the current charging rate by performing a process of comparing the detected voltage value with the voltage value at the completion of charging of the storage battery. It is also possible to detect the pace at which the storage battery is charged by detecting the value of the amount of received light and the value of the current flowing into the rechargeable battery. It is not always necessary to set the charging rate at the completion of charging to 100%, and it is also possible to complete the charging on condition that the charging rate has reached a value equal to or higher than a predetermined value.

The “first calculation unit” is based on the acquired current time, the scheduled sunshine time, the received light amount, and the state of charge of the storage battery, the charging completion time within the scheduled sunshine time or the end time of the scheduled sunshine time, and It has a function of calculating a charge expectation rate at the time to perform. That is, the calculated result is the charge completion time and the expected charge rate within the scheduled sunshine time, or the end time of the scheduled sunshine time and the expected charge rate at that time.

For example, consider the case where the relationship between the charging time of the storage battery and the voltage value of the storage battery is shown in FIG. Here, each line differs depending on the amount of received light, and it is possible to estimate the charging time until the completion of charging based on the voltage value and the amount of received light at the current time. For example, the voltage value at the current time V _S, the voltage value is set to V _E at the time of charging is completed, the expected sunshine time is t1. For L2 having a relatively small amount of received light, a predetermined time t1 (case 1) is required to change the voltage value from V _S to V _E. Similarly, for L4 having a relatively large amount of received light, a predetermined time t1 (case 2) is required. Here, when the time obtained by adding the predetermined time t1 to the current time is before the scheduled sunshine time, the time is output as a calculation result. In addition, when the time obtained by adding the predetermined time t1 to the current time is later than the scheduled sunshine time, a voltage value obtained by the end time of the scheduled sunshine time is newly calculated, and charging at the end time of the scheduled sunshine time is performed. The rate is output as the calculation result.

Note that the above calculation processing is approximated as the amount of received light is constant, but a configuration in which the calculation processing is performed under the assumption that the amount of received light increases or decreases in each time zone is also possible. For example, it is conceivable to calculate the value of the amount of received light after a predetermined time has elapsed by substituting the value of the amount of received light at the current time into a predetermined relational expression.

The “first notification unit” has a function of notifying the calculation result of the first calculation unit. Here, as a notification method, in addition to the configuration of performing display output and audio output, a configuration of outputting different vibrations depending on the calculation result is also conceivable. As a display output, it is conceivable to turn on / blink using an LED lamp or the like in addition to a configuration for displaying characters, symbols, and the like on the display panel.

In addition to the calculation result of the first calculation unit, the application that can be used with the current charging capacity is notified, the time when the call can be performed, the number of times that mail can be transmitted and received, and the like are notified. It is also possible to configure. Moreover, it is not necessary to always activate the function of the first notification unit, and a configuration in which the function is activated when an instruction input of a notification request from a user is received is also possible.

<Specific configuration>
FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram illustrating an example of a configuration when each functional component of an electric device including the solar cell panel and the storage battery according to the present embodiment is realized as hardware. The operation of the hardware configuration unit will be described using this figure.

As shown in this figure, the above-mentioned devices are “CPU” 0301, “main memory (primary storage)” 0302, “flash memory (secondary storage)” 0303, “solar battery panel” 0304, “storage battery” 0305, “Power supply circuit” 0306, “Voltage detector” 0307, “Current detector” 0308, “Communication module” 0309, “Clock circuit” 0310, “Display unit” 0311, “Image processing circuit” 0312, “Audio output unit” 0313, “audio processing circuit” 0314, “vibration output unit” 0315, “drive processing circuit” 0316, and “operation input unit” 0317. The above-described configuration is mutually connected by a data communication path of “system bus” 0318, and performs transmission / reception and processing of information. Further, the solar cell panel, the storage battery, the current detector, and the like are connected by “power line” 0319. In place of the flash memory, a magnetic disk such as a hard disk, an optical disk such as a DVD, a card-type recording medium such as an IC card and an optical card, or a memory such as an EEPROM can be used (also in other embodiments). The same).

The CPU acquires information on the current date and time based on a signal from the clock circuit, and stores it at a predetermined address in the main memory. Next, the CPU refers to a table in which the date / time and the sunshine time stored in the flash memory are associated with each other, acquires the scheduled sunshine time, and stores it in a predetermined address of the main memory. In addition, the structure which communicates with a specific server via a communication module, and acquires scheduled sunshine time based on the information of the present date is also possible. Further, the CPU performs processing for detecting the amount of received light based on the output signal of the current detector, and stores the processing result at a predetermined address in the main memory. In addition, the CPU performs a process of obtaining the current charging rate based on the output signal of the voltage detector and the information in the table that associates the voltage stored in the flash memory with the charging rate, and the processing result is stored in the main memory. Stored at a predetermined address. In addition, the CPU refers to a table in which the amount of received light stored in the flash memory is associated with the charging time, and completes charging based on the amount of received light (current value detected by the current detector) at the current time and the charging state. Processing for calculating the time is performed, and the processing result is stored at a predetermined address in the main memory. Here, if the charge completion time is later than the scheduled sunshine time end time, a process is performed to calculate the charge expected rate at the end of the scheduled sunshine time time, and the processing result is stored in a predetermined address of the main memory. To do. Further, the CPU performs a process of outputting information on the calculation result to the display panel of the display unit. In addition, the structure which outputs the information of a calculation result from an audio | voice output part, and the structure which outputs a vibration from a vibration output part are also possible.

The series of processes of the CPU described above are general processing methods, and the process of storing acquired and calculated data in the main memory each time is not essential. The actual processing method differs depending on the hardware configuration such as other storage devices, caches, and buffer memories. Further, the processing by the CPU is not particularly limited, and processing by other processing circuits is also possible (the same applies to other embodiments).

<Process flow>
FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of a processing flow in the electric device including the solar cell panel and the storage battery according to the present embodiment. The flow of processing in the figure consists of the following steps. First, in step S0401 (current date acquisition step), the current date is acquired. Next, in step S0402 (planned sunshine time acquisition step), the planned sunshine time is acquired. Next, in step S0403 (received light amount detection step), the received light amount is detected. Next, in step S0404 (charge state detection step), the charge state of the storage battery of the solar cell panel is detected. In step S0405, a charging completion time is calculated based on the acquired current time, the amount of received light, and the state of charge of the storage battery. Next, in step S0406, it is determined whether the calculated charge completion time is within the scheduled sunshine hours. If the determination here is that it is within the scheduled sunshine hours, the process proceeds to step S0408A. If it is determined that the determination is not within the scheduled sunshine hours, the process proceeds to step S0407B. In step S0408A, the charging completion time within the calculated scheduled sunshine hours and the charging rate at the time are notified (first notification step). In step S0407B, the expected charge rate at the end time of the scheduled sunshine time is calculated. In step S0408B, the end time of the scheduled sunshine time and the expected charge rate at that time are notified (first notification step).

It becomes possible to know how much charging is possible within the time when sunlight can be received by the solar cell panel of this embodiment and the electric device including the storage battery.

<Overview>
Although the electric equipment provided with the solar cell panel and the storage battery of the present embodiment is basically the same as the electric equipment of the first embodiment, the scheduled sunset time is acquired based on the acquired current date, and the acquired current It is possible to acquire the scheduled sunshine hours based on the current time and the scheduled sunset time.

<Configuration>
FIG. 5: is a figure which shows an example of the functional block of the electric equipment provided with the solar cell panel of this Example, and its storage battery.

“The first scheduled sunset time acquisition means” has a function of acquiring the scheduled sunset time based on the acquired current date. The sunset time is mainly considered to be a time at which the upper edge of the sun is hidden by the horizon, but a configuration including a time at which light reception from the sun is impossible is also possible. This is because, for example, depending on the geographical features of the area, it is impossible to receive light directly from the sun because the sun is hidden behind a mountain or the like.

As a method for acquiring the scheduled sunset time based on the current date, for example, as shown in FIG. 6, a table that associates the date with the scheduled sunset time is held, and information on the current date and the table A configuration for acquiring the scheduled sunset time based on the information can be considered. As shown in this figure, it is possible to use a table in which each date is associated with a scheduled sunset time. However, a table in which a predetermined period unit (for example, one week unit) is associated with a scheduled sunset time is similarly used. Is possible. In addition, a configuration in which the planned sunrise time is held together with the planned sunset time is also possible. This configuration is suitable, for example, when it is desired to acquire the scheduled sunshine time of the day before dawn.

The table that associates the date with the scheduled sunset time can be built in the storage device of the electric device in advance, but it can also be obtained periodically from a specific server via a communication module. It is. For example, if the information of the table is acquired on a yearly basis, the information of the table of the next year is requested from the server during the predetermined period at the end of the year, and the information of the table of the next year is received from the server. It is also possible.

In addition to the configuration that holds the table associating the date with the scheduled sunset time, a program based on an expression that associates the current date with the scheduled sunset time is held, and the program and the current date are stored. A configuration for calculating the scheduled sunset time based on the above is also possible. In this case, the above formula can be an approximate formula based on a theoretical model, or a regression formula based on past data.

Note that it is possible to use the current location information when acquiring the scheduled sunset time, but it is possible to store information on the scheduled sunset time table related to a specific location in advance or a specific location. It is also possible to access a site that provides a table of scheduled sunset times.

The “first scheduled sunshine duration acquisition means” has a function of acquiring the scheduled sunshine duration based on the acquired current time and the acquired scheduled sunset time. That is, by calculating the difference between the scheduled sunset time and the current time, it is possible to acquire the scheduled sunshine time. In addition, when the scheduled sunrise time is acquired, when the process before dawn is performed, the time from the scheduled sunrise time to the scheduled sunset time can be acquired as the scheduled sunshine time.

However, the electrical apparatus according to the present embodiment is characterized in that a table in which the date and the scheduled sunset time are associated with each other is held in the flash memory, and is used for obtaining the scheduled sunshine time. In addition, a configuration in which a scheduled sunset time calculation program for calculating a scheduled sunset time from the current date is held in the flash memory is also possible.

The CPU refers to a table associating the date stored in the flash memory with the scheduled sunset time, acquires the scheduled sunset time information using the current date information, and stores it in a predetermined address in the main memory. Store. Further, it is possible to read the scheduled sunset time calculation program stored in the flash memory into the main memory and calculate the scheduled sunshine time based on the current date information. Next, the CPU performs a process of calculating the difference between the current time and the scheduled sunset time, and stores the calculation result at a predetermined address in the main memory. Since other processes are the same as those described in the first embodiment, description thereof is omitted.

<Process flow>
The process flow of the solar cell panel of the present embodiment and the electric device including the storage battery is basically the same as the process flow of the first embodiment described with reference to FIG. However, as shown in FIG. 7, in the scheduled sunshine time acquisition step, a first scheduled sunset time acquisition substep (SS0701) for acquiring a scheduled sunset time based on the acquired current date, and the acquired current time And a first scheduled sunshine duration acquisition sub-step (SS0702) for acquiring a scheduled sunshine duration based on the acquired scheduled sunset time.

It is possible to acquire the scheduled sunshine hours based on the above.

It consists of a “detection unit” 0805, a “charge state detection unit” 0806, a “first calculation unit” 0807, and a “first notification unit” 0808. The scheduled sunshine duration acquisition unit is “current position acquisition means” 0809. , “Second scheduled sunset time acquisition means” 0810 and “first scheduled sunshine time acquisition means” 0811. Since the basic configuration is the same as that of the electric apparatus according to the second embodiment described with reference to FIG. 5, “current position acquisition unit” and “second scheduled sunset time acquisition unit” which are different points will be described.

“Current position acquisition means” has a function of acquiring the current position. As a function for acquiring the current position, for example, a GPS function can be considered. A configuration is also conceivable in which the position of the currently used base station is acquired from a communication server. A configuration in which the current position information is received from the user via an input operation device or the like is also possible.

The information on the current position can be a latitude or longitude value, or can be a municipality or a prefecture unit. Such information can be acquired at predetermined time intervals, or can be acquired when an acquisition instruction is received from a user via an input operation device or the like.

The “second scheduled sunset time acquisition means” has a function of acquiring the scheduled sunset time based on the acquired current position and the acquired current date. Since the sunset time depends on the position, it is possible to acquire the scheduled sunset time in various modes by using the information on the current position. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9, there is a configuration in which a table in which a position, a date, and a scheduled sunset time are associated with each other and a scheduled sunset time is acquired based on information on the current position and the current date.

In addition, in this figure, although it is set as the table which linked | related the position of the prefecture unit and the scheduled sunset time, it is also possible to classify | categorize by a narrower unit (for example, every latitude and longitude), and a wider unit It is also possible to classify (for example, by region).

Similarly to the second embodiment, a program based on an expression that associates the current position, the current date, and the scheduled sunset time is stored, and the scheduled sunset time is determined based on the expression, the current position, and the current date. It is also possible to consider a configuration for calculating.

<Specific configuration>
The hardware configuration of the electrical device including the solar cell panel and the storage battery of the present embodiment is basically the same as the hardware configuration of the electrical device of Embodiment 1 described with reference to FIG. However, the electrical apparatus of the present embodiment is characterized in that a table in which the position, date, and scheduled sunset time are associated with each other is stored in the flash memory, and is used for obtaining the scheduled sunshine time. Further, a configuration in which a program for calculating the scheduled sunset time from the position and date is held in the flash memory is also possible.

The CPU refers to a table that associates the position, date, and scheduled sunset time stored in the flash memory, acquires information on the scheduled sunset time using information on the current position and the current date, Stored at a predetermined address. It is also possible to read the program for calculating the scheduled sunset time stored in the flash memory into the main memory and calculate the scheduled sunshine time based on the current position and current date information. Next, the CPU performs a process of calculating the difference between the current time and the scheduled sunset time, and stores the calculation result at a predetermined address in the main memory. The other processes are the same as those described in the first and second embodiments, and thus the description thereof is omitted.

<Process flow>
The process flow of the solar cell panel of the present embodiment and the electric device including the storage battery is basically the same as the process flow of the first embodiment described with reference to FIG. However, as shown in FIG. 10, in the scheduled sunshine time acquisition step, the current position acquisition substep (SS1001) for acquiring the current position, and the scheduled sunset time is acquired based on the acquired current position and the acquired current date.

It is possible to acquire the scheduled sunshine hours based on the sunset time.

<Overview>
The solar cell panel of this embodiment and the electric device provided with the storage battery are basically the same as those of the electric devices of the second and third embodiments, but the current time, the scheduled sunset time, and the scheduled input of the set input are canceled. It is possible to acquire the scheduled sunshine hours based on the time.

FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating an example of a functional block of an electric apparatus including the solar cell panel and the storage battery according to the present embodiment. As shown in this figure, “Electrical equipment” 1100 includes “Solar cell panel” 1101, “Storage battery” 1102, “Current date and time acquisition unit” 1103, “Scheduled sunshine time acquisition unit” 1104, and “Light reception amount”. It consists of “detection unit” 1105, “charge state detection unit” 1106, “first calculation unit” 1107, and “first notification unit” 1108, and the scheduled sunshine time acquisition unit acquires “first scheduled sunset time acquisition”. Means ”1109 (possible with current position acquisition means and second scheduled sunset time acquisition means),“ scheduled closing time reception means ”1110, and“ second scheduled sunshine time acquisition means ”1111. Since the basic configuration is the same as that of the electrical devices of Embodiments 2 and 3 described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 8, “scheduled cutoff time reception means” and “second scheduled sunshine time acquisition means” which are different points will be described. .

The “scheduled termination time reception means” has a function of accepting setting input of the scheduled termination time for charging. Here, the scheduled termination time refers to the time at which charging is scheduled to be terminated. For example, even when the electrical equipment is currently exposed to sunlight, there are cases where it is placed in a bag at a predetermined time or moved indoors. As a method of accepting a setting input of the scheduled discontinuation time, a configuration of accepting a setting input via an operation input device (for example, a keypad) can be considered. In addition, as the setting input of the scheduled termination time for charging, a configuration in which a numeric input is directly accepted or a selection input for a plurality of candidates for the scheduled termination time is possible.

In addition, it is possible to add a configuration in which a scheduled resumption time reception unit is provided in correspondence with the scheduled termination time reception unit. For example, when the time period for stopping charging is limited to a predetermined time, it is possible to obtain the time for resuming the charging together and calculate a finer sunshine duration. Moreover, the structure which receives several schedule end time and schedule restart time is also possible.

The “second scheduled sunshine duration acquisition means” has a function of acquiring the scheduled sunshine duration based on the acquired current time, the acquired scheduled sunset time, and the scheduled input termination time of charging. Here, if the scheduled input time for charging that has been set and input is before the scheduled sunset time, the difference between the current time and the scheduled time is calculated to obtain the scheduled sunshine time. If the scheduled cutoff time is later than the scheduled sunset time, the difference between the current time and the scheduled sunset time is calculated to obtain the scheduled sunshine time. In addition, in the case where the scheduled resumption time is also acquired, a configuration in which the planned sunshine duration is calculated using the information is also conceivable.

<Overview>
The solar cell panel of this embodiment and the electric device provided with the storage battery are basically the same as those of the first to third embodiments, but further, using the weather forecast information, the charging completion time and the scheduled sunshine time end. It is possible to calculate the expected charge rate at the time.

FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating an example of a functional block of an electric apparatus provided with the solar cell panel and the storage battery of the present embodiment. As shown in this figure, “Electrical equipment” 1300 includes “Solar cell panel” 1301, “Storage battery” 1302, “Current date and time acquisition unit” 1303, “Scheduled sunshine time acquisition unit” 1304, and “Light reception amount”. A “detection unit” 1305, a “charge state detection unit” 1306, a “second calculation unit” 1307, a “second notification unit” 1308, and a “weather forecast information acquisition unit” 1309. Since the basic configuration is the same as that of the electric apparatus according to the first embodiment described with reference to FIG. 1, the “weather forecast information acquisition unit”, “second calculation unit”, and “second notification unit” which are different points will be described. .

“The weather forecast information acquisition unit” has a function of acquiring weather forecast information. As weather forecast information, as shown in FIG. 14, it is possible to indicate information such as (clear), (cloudy), (rain) for each predetermined time zone, and light reception for each predetermined time zone. It is also possible to use quantity information, precipitation probability information for each predetermined time zone, cloud distribution for each predetermined time zone, wind speed / wind direction information, and the like. The weather forecast information can be nationwide, but it can also be weather forecast information only for a predetermined area.

Further, although it is conceivable that the weather forecast information is acquired by using a communication function, a configuration in which the weather forecast information is acquired from another electrical device or a recording medium is also possible. Further, when the weather forecast information is nationwide, it is conceivable to perform processing for acquiring current position information and extracting weather forecast information for a predetermined area. A configuration is also conceivable in which a site that handles weather forecast information in a predetermined area is automatically accessed in advance to obtain weather forecast information in that area. Further, the timing for acquiring the weather forecast information can be configured to be performed every predetermined time, or can be configured to be performed when an acquisition command is received from the user via an operation input device or the like.

Based on the acquired current time, the scheduled sunshine time, the amount of received light, the state of charge of the storage battery, and the weather forecast information, the “second calculation unit” determines the charge completion time or the scheduled sunshine time within the scheduled sunshine time. And the function of calculating the expected charging rate at the corresponding time. For example, when the received light amount information for each predetermined time period is acquired as weather forecast information, it is conceivable to perform the above calculation process using these values.

In the above calculation process, a time zone that becomes (cloudy) or (rainy) in the time zone before the sunset time is acquired from the weather forecast information, and in the time zone that becomes (cloudy) or (rainy) It can be considered that the calculation processing is performed on the assumption that charging is not performed. Further, it is regarded as a value of a predetermined ratio of the normal light reception amount (for example, 1/5) in the (cloudy) time zone, and as a value of a lower ratio of the normal light reception amount in the (rain) time zone ( For example, it is conceivable to perform calculation processing by 1/10).

In addition, when it is determined from the weather forecast information that light reception from the sun cannot be expected at the end time of the scheduled sunshine time, a process for correcting the end time of the scheduled sunshine time based on the weather forecast information is performed, and the processing result Can be output as the end time of the scheduled sunshine time. In addition, if it is cloudy or rainy at the beginning of charging, but it is expected that it will become sunny after 1 hour, for example, it may be accumulated as the charging start time from 1 hour after the start time .

The “second notification unit” has a function of notifying the calculation result of the second calculation unit. As the notification method, in the same manner as the first notification unit described in the first embodiment, in addition to a configuration that performs display output and audio output, a configuration that outputs different vibrations depending on the calculation result is also conceivable. In addition to the calculation result of the second calculation unit, a configuration for notifying the weather forecast information together is also possible.

<Specific configuration>
The hardware configuration of the electrical device including the solar cell panel and the storage battery of the present embodiment is basically the same as the hardware configuration of the electrical device of Embodiment 1 described with reference to FIG. However, the electrical apparatus according to the present embodiment is characterized in that weather forecast information is acquired from a specific server via a communication module.

The CPU accesses a specific site (such as a site that can acquire weather forecast information for a specific area), acquires weather forecast information, and stores it at a predetermined address in the main memory. Here, it is possible to notify the user to input the current position, and it is also possible to acquire the current position using the GPS function unit. In this case, it is possible to select a URL to be accessed according to the acquired current position and acquire weather forecast information corresponding to the current position. Further, the CPU acquires a time zone that becomes (cloudy) or (rainy) between the current time and the scheduled sunset time, and sets the received light amount in the corresponding time zone as 0 or a predetermined ratio of the received light amount at the current time. Then, the process of calculating the charging completion time is performed, and the processing result is stored in a predetermined address of the main memory. Here, when the charging completion time is later than the end time of the scheduled sunshine time, a process of calculating a charge expectation rate at the end time of the scheduled sunshine time is performed, and the processing result is stored in a predetermined address of the main memory. Since other processes are the same as those described in the first to fourth embodiments, the description thereof is omitted.

<Process flow>
FIG. 15: is a figure which shows an example of the flow of a process in the electric equipment provided with the solar cell panel of this Example, and its storage battery. The flow of processing in the figure consists of the following steps. First, in step S1501 (current date acquisition step), the current date is acquired. Next, in step S1502 (planned sunshine time acquisition step), the planned sunshine time is acquired. Next, in step S1503 (light reception amount detection step), the light reception amount is detected. Next, in step S1504 (charging state detection step), the charging state of the storage battery of the solar battery panel is detected. In step S1505 (weather forecast information acquisition step), weather forecast information is acquired. In step S1506, a charging completion time is calculated based on the acquired current time, the amount of received light, the state of charge of the storage battery, and the weather forecast information. Next, in step S1507, it is determined whether the calculated charge completion time is within the scheduled sunshine hours. If it is determined that the determination is within the scheduled sunshine hours, the process proceeds to step S1509A. If it is determined that the determination is not within the scheduled sunshine hours, the process proceeds to step S1508B. In step S1509A, the charging completion time within the calculated scheduled sunshine time and the charge expected rate at the time are notified (second notification step). In step S1508B, the expected charge rate at the end time of the scheduled sunshine time is calculated. In step S1509B, the end time of the scheduled sunshine time and the expected charge rate at that time are notified (second notification step).

<Overview>
Although the electric equipment provided with the solar cell panel and the storage battery of the present embodiment is basically the same as the electric equipment of the first to fifth embodiments, the charging completion time within the planned sunshine time or the end time of the planned sunshine time is more than that. It is possible to notify when the amount of received light has previously fallen below a predetermined threshold. For example, when the cat defeats the electric device during charging, the amount of received light decreases, and it is possible to notify the user of the electric device.

FIG. 16 is a diagram illustrating an example of functional blocks of an electric apparatus including the solar cell panel and the storage battery according to the present embodiment. As shown in this figure, “Electrical equipment” 1600 includes “Solar cell panel” 1601, “Storage battery” 1602, “Current date and time acquisition unit” 1603, “Scheduled sunshine time acquisition unit” 1604, The detection unit 1605, the charging state detection unit 1606, the first calculation unit 1607, the first notification unit 1608, and the third notification unit 1609, Received light amount decrease determining means "1610. The received light amount detection unit may further include a “received light amount threshold acceptance unit”. Since the basic configuration is the same as that of the electrical apparatus according to the first embodiment described with reference to FIG. 1, the differences in “light reception amount decrease determination unit”, “light reception amount threshold reception unit”, and “third notification unit” are different. explain.

The “light reception amount decrease determination means” has a function of determining whether or not the light reception amount has decreased below a predetermined threshold before the charge completion time within the scheduled sunshine time or the end time of the scheduled sunshine time. Here, as a method for determining whether or not the amount of received light has decreased below a predetermined threshold value, a configuration in which threshold values corresponding to time zones and times are stored in a storage device as a table and referred to at the time of determination can be considered. Further, a predetermined value is calculated from the information of the received light amount detected by the received light amount detection unit, and a threshold value program (for example, an average value of the received light amount for the past 10 minutes is calculated, and 50% of the average value is calculated. It is also possible to hold a program that uses a value as a threshold for the current time.

“The received light amount threshold acceptance means” has a function of accepting a predetermined threshold setting input in the received light amount decrease judging means. A configuration is conceivable in which the threshold setting input is accepted via an operation input device such as a keypad or a touch panel. Further, as a setting input method, it is possible to accept a numerical input directly, but it is also possible to accept an input selected from a plurality of candidates related to the threshold of received light amount.

The “third notification unit” has a function of performing a notification when it is determined that the result of the received light amount decrease determination unit is lower than a predetermined threshold value. As a notification method here, for example, in addition to audio output and display output, a vibration output or a combination of these notifications may be considered.

In addition, the notification by the third notification unit can be configured to continue until the amount of received light becomes greater than a predetermined threshold, or configured to continue until a predetermined operation is received via the operation input device. Is also possible. Alternatively, the configuration may be such that, after being notified once, the notification is repeated at regular intervals until the operation input device is operated (equivalent to the snooze function of the alarm clock).

<Specific configuration>
The hardware configuration of the electrical device including the solar cell panel and the storage battery of the present embodiment is basically the same as the hardware configuration of the electrical device of Embodiment 1 described with reference to FIG. However, in the electrical equipment of the present embodiment, a process is performed to determine whether the amount of received light has fallen below a predetermined threshold before the charging completion time within the scheduled sunshine time or the end time of the scheduled sunshine time, and depending on the processing result Notification is performed.

When the CPU receives information on setting input of a predetermined threshold related to the amount of received light via the operation input device, the CPU stores the information at a predetermined address in the main memory. Further, the CPU determines whether or not the received light amount is lower than the threshold value set and input based on the detection signal from the current detector before the charging completion time within the scheduled sunshine time or the end time of the scheduled sunshine time. The process which judges whether is done. When the processing result here is a result that the amount of received light has fallen below a predetermined threshold, a command signal for notification from the display unit, audio output unit, and vibration output unit is output to the processing circuit To do. The other processes are the same as those described in the first to fifth embodiments, and thus the description thereof is omitted.

<Process flow>
The process flow of the solar cell panel of the present embodiment and the electric device including the storage battery is basically the same as the process flow of the first embodiment described with reference to FIG. However, in the process after the first notification step in FIG. 4, the process shown in FIG. 17 can be performed. First, in step S1701, the received light amount is detected (received light amount detecting step). Next, in step S1702, it is determined whether the amount of received light has decreased below a predetermined threshold (received light amount decrease determining step). If it is determined that the determination result here is lower than a predetermined threshold, the process advances to step S1703. If it is determined that the determination here has not fallen below the predetermined threshold, the process returns to step S1701. Next, in step S1703, it is determined whether the current time is before the charge completion time within the scheduled sunshine time or the end time of the scheduled sunshine time. If it is determined that the determination here is before, the process proceeds to step S1704. If the determination here is not previous, the process is terminated. In step S1704, it is notified that the amount of received light has decreased below a predetermined threshold before the charge completion time within the scheduled sunshine time or the end time of the scheduled sunshine time (third notification step). In addition, it is also possible to perform the light reception amount threshold acceptance step for accepting a predetermined threshold setting input in the light reception amount reduction determination step at an arbitrary timing before the light reception amount reduction determination step (first notification step in FIG. 4). Can also be before). Also, in the received light amount decrease determination step of step S1702, it is desirable not to instantaneously decrease the received light amount but to determine the decrease in received light amount after a certain amount of time has elapsed. This is because it can be assumed that an animal has just crossed just before the electric device being charged, or that a cloud has covered the sun for a short time.

<Effect>
In addition to the effects of the first embodiment, the amount of received light is predetermined before the completion time of charging within the scheduled sunshine time or the end time of the scheduled sunshine time by the solar cell panel of this embodiment and the electric device including the storage battery.

It is also possible to set the capacity so that an operation and a key input operation for a predetermined time can be performed. The threshold value can be stored in advance as data, but can also be configured to accept user input via an operation input device.

The “fourth notification unit” has a function of performing a notification when the result of the capacity determination means is a determination that a capacity exceeding a predetermined value is not charged. The notification may be configured by display output, may be configured as audio output or vibration output, or may be configured by combining these outputs.
