FIG.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described through the embodiments of the invention, but the following embodiments do not limit the invention according to the claims. Moreover, not all combinations of features described in the embodiments are essential to the solution of the invention.

FIG. 1 schematically illustrates an example of the information processing apparatus 100. The information processing apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment gives the user 42 some kind of reward for enriching the life of the user 42 according to the amount of power provided by the user 42.

The user 42 is, for example, a resident of the power demander 40. Here, the case where the power demander 40 is the home of the user 42 will be described as an example.

The electric power consumer 40 receives the electric power generated by the power plant 11 via the electric power network 12. The power plant 11 and the power grid 12 are called a power grid.

The power consumer 40 has a power generation device and a storage battery. The power consumer 40 stores the power generated and supplied by the power generation device in the storage battery. The power generation device may use natural energy to generate power. The power generation device is, for example, a solar power generation device, a wind power generation device, a hydroelectric power generation device, or the like. The power consumer 40 may store the power received from the power grid in the storage battery.

The smart meter 30 manages the power supply and demand situation of the power customer 40. The smart meter 30 may manage the power supplied from the power system to the power consumer 40. The smart meter 30 manages, for example, the amount and time of power supplied from the power system to the power consumer 40.

In addition, the smart meter 30 may manage the power supplied from the power generation device of the power consumer 40. The smart meter 30 manages, for example, the amount and time of power supplied from the power generation device.

The smart meter 30 may identify and manage the amount of power supplied by the power system and the amount of power supplied by the power generation device among the power stored in the storage battery of the power consumer 40. . That is, the smart meter 30 may manage the amount of power stored in the storage battery and the power source indicating the supply source of the power. For example, the storage battery that stores the power supplied from the power generation device may be different from the storage battery that stores the power supplied from the power system.

Here, providing the power by the user 42 may mean supplying the power stored in the storage battery of the power customer 40 to the outside. The power supply destination may be any target. The user 42 supplies power to the power grid 12, for example. Also, the user 42 supplies power to, for example, a railway company. Also, the user 42 supplies power to, for example, a highway company or the like.

The power consumer 40 may supply power externally via the power grid 12. The power consumer 40 supplies, for example, part or all of so-called surplus power to the outside. Among the power stored in the storage battery, the power consumer 40 may supply only the power supplied by the power generation device to the outside. That is, the power consumer 40 may externally supply only the amount of the power supplied by the power generation device out of the total amount of power stored in the storage battery.

The smart meter 30 may manage the power externally supplied by the power consumer 40. The smart meter 30 manages, for example, the supply destination of power externally supplied by the power consumer 40, the amount of power, time, and the like.

The information processing apparatus 100 may receive, via the communication network 20, information on the power managed by the smart meter 30. The communication network 20 may include at least one of the Internet, a mobile telephone network, and a dedicated network such as a LAN (Local Area Network).

For example, the information processing apparatus 100 receives, from the smart meter 30, information indicating the amount of power provided by the user 42 and information on a power source indicating a supply source of the power. The information processing apparatus 100 gives the user 42 a reward associated with the power supply destination, for example, according to the amount of power provided by the user 42. When power is provided by the user 42 to a service provider who provides a service related to a vehicle, the information processing apparatus 100 gives the user 42 points related to the vehicle according to the amount of provided power. You may

For example, when power is provided by the user 42 to a traffic service provider who provides traffic services (train, bus, EV (Electric Vehicle) taxi, etc.), the information processing apparatus 100 responds to the amount of power provided. Then, the user 42 is given points for purchasing a ticket for enjoying the traffic service. The ticket in the present embodiment may be for using a traffic service on the premise that the user 42 supplies energy. The traffic service premised on the energy supply by the user 42 is, for example, a traffic service provided using the power provided by the user 42.

For example, when power is provided to the railway company by the user 42, the information processing apparatus 100 can purchase a seat ticket for a train operated by the railway company for the user 42 according to the amount of provided power. Grant points (sometimes referred to as seat ticket points). The seat ticket referred to here is, for example, a ticket necessary for using a seat in a commuter train. The seat ticket may be a physical ticket. Also, the seat ticket may be an electronic ticket. The seat ticket may not include the name of a ticket as long as it can prove the right to use the seat.

For example, when the information processing apparatus 100 manages the seat ticket point of the user 42, the information processing apparatus 100 adds the point corresponding to the amount of provided power to the seat ticket point managed by itself. Update 42 seat ticket points. Also, for example, when the server of the railway company manages the seat ticket points of the user 42, the information processing apparatus 100 sets the point according to the amount of provided power to the seat ticket points managed by the server of the railway company. The seat ticket point of the user 42 is updated by causing it to be added.

Also, for example, when the information processing apparatus 100 supplies power to a service provider who provides a service related to the movement of a vehicle (highway, priority road, priority parking, etc.) by the user 42, In accordance with the amount, the user 42 is given a point for receiving the service (which may be described as a service use point). The vehicle referred to here is, for example, any type of automobile. Examples of vehicles include gasoline vehicles, EVs (Electric Vehicles), and PHEVs (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles).

For example, when power is provided to the expressway company by the user 42, the information processing apparatus 100 gives the user 42 a service use point that can be used for passing on the freeway according to the amount of provided power. Do. For example, when the information processing apparatus 100 manages the service utilization points of the user 42, the information processing apparatus 100 adds the points corresponding to the provided amount of power to the service utilization points managed by itself. Update 42 service usage points. Also, for example, when the server of the expressway company manages the service utilization points of the user 42, the information processing apparatus 100 uses the service in which the server of the expressway company manages points according to the amount of provided power. Update the service utilization points of the user 42 by causing them to be added to the points.

For example, when there is a change such as termination of the fixed power purchase system of electric power, it is expected that a lot of surplus electric power is generated in each home. It is desirable that the surplus power can be used effectively. Assuming a person using a fixed tariff system for electricity, it is believed that a large number of people live in the suburbs and commute by train in the morning. Also, it is thought that there are relatively many people commuting by car in the morning. In addition, such a person has a large percentage of having solar power generation equipment, but despite the large amount of daytime power generation of solar power generation equipment compared to nighttime, leaving the daytime absent Because the power consumption at home is small, a lot of surplus power is generated.

In such a situation, for example, by providing seat ticket points to the user 42 who provided power to the railway company, the user 42 can be rewarded with the improvement of the comfort of commuting, and It can contribute to the stable supply of electricity to the railway company by promoting the provision of surplus power to the railway company by the incentive.

Also, for example, when power is provided to a car rental company that rents an EV by the user 42, the information processing apparatus 100 is owned by the car rental company for the user 42 according to the amount of provided power. Grant EV seat ticket points. The seat ticket referred to here is, for example, a ticket necessary to rent an EV. By granting seat ticket points to the users 42 who provided power to the car rental company, it is possible to reward the users 42 that they can easily use the EV, and also to add surplus power to the car rental company. By promoting the provision, it can contribute to the stable supply of power to car rental companies that require a large amount of power for EV charging and the like.

Also, in such a situation, for example, by providing service utilization points to the user 42 who provided power to the expressway company, the user 42 is rewarded with the improvement of the mobility of the vehicle. It can also contribute to the stable supply of electricity to expressway companies by promoting the provision of surplus power to expressway companies through its incentives.

Also, for example, when power is provided to a facility having parking (such as a large shopping facility and a service area) by the user 42, the information processing apparatus 100 transmits the information to the user 42 according to the amount of power provided. Grant a service use point where you can use the priority parking provided for a fee in the facility. By giving points to the user 42 who provided power to the facility, it is possible to reward the user 42 that priority parking can be easily used, and provision of surplus power to the facility Can contribute to the stable supply of power to the facility.

FIG. 2 schematically illustrates an example of the operation management server 200. The operation management server 200 is an example of the information processing apparatus 100. Here, the case where power is provided to the railway company by the user 42 will be described as an example. The operation management server 200 includes a power information acquisition unit 202, a user information acquisition unit 204, a demand response information acquisition unit 206, and a point update unit 208.

The power information acquisition unit 202 acquires power information including information indicating the amount of power provided to the railway company by the user 42 and information on a power source indicating a supply source of the power. The power information acquisition unit 202 receives, for example, power information from the smart meter 30. The power information acquisition unit 202 may receive power information of the target user 42 from a management device that receives and manages power information from the smart meters 30 of the plurality of users 42.

The user information acquisition unit 204 acquires user information of the user 42. The user information may be information that can identify the user 42. For example, the user information includes the user's 42 name and address. The user information may include an identification number capable of identifying the user 42. The user information acquisition unit 204 receives user information from, for example, a user information management server 410 that manages user information of a plurality of users 42.

The demand response information acquisition unit 206 acquires demand response information. The demand response information acquisition unit 206 receives, for example, demand response information from the grid-side server 14 that manages supply and demand of power in the power grid. The demand response information acquisition unit 206 may receive the demand response information from a management device that manages the demand response information separately from the grid-side server 14.

The point update unit 208 corresponds to the user 42 based on the power information acquired by the power information acquisition unit 202, the user information acquired by the user information acquisition unit 204, and the demand response information acquired by the demand response information acquisition unit 206. , Update seat ticket points. When the operation management server 200 manages the seat ticket points of the user 42, the point update unit 208 may update the seat ticket points managed by the operation management server 200. When the railway company server 300 manages the seat ticket of the user 42, the point update unit 208 may transmit the seat ticket point update request for the user 42 to the railway company server 300.

The point updating unit 208 may update the seat ticket point corresponding to the user 42 by the updated amount according to the amount of power provided to the railway company by the user 42. The point update unit 208 may update the seat ticket point corresponding to the user 42 by the amount of update that increases as the amount of power provided to the railway company by the user 42 increases.

The point update unit 208 may update the seat ticket point corresponding to the user 42 by the update amount according to the time zone in which the user 42 provided power to the railway company. The point update unit 208 may update the seat ticket point corresponding to the user 42 by a larger amount of update when power is provided during a time zone where the railway company needs more power. For example, when the first time zone and the second time zone in which the railway company requires more power than the first time zone are registered, the point updating unit 208 performs the first time zone. If the power is provided during the second time slot than when the power is provided, the seat ticket point corresponding to the user 42 is updated with more update amount.

The point update unit 208 may update the seat ticket point corresponding to the user 42 by the update amount corresponding to the demand response information. For example, the point update unit 208 updates the seat ticket point corresponding to the user 42 with the update amount that increases as the degree of achievement for the demand response is higher.

As a specific example, when the user 42 is provided with power in response to the request for providing power according to the demand response information, the point update unit 208 uses a seat ticket with a higher update fee than otherwise. Update points In addition, the point update unit 208 may update the seat ticket point when the power consumption by the user 42 is reduced in response to a request for reduction of the power consumption by the demand response information.

The point update unit 208 supports the user 42 based on two or more of the update amount according to the amount of power, the update amount according to the time zone in which the power was provided, and the update amount according to the demand response information Seat ticket points may be updated.

The railway company server 300 includes a request information reception unit 302, a user information acquisition unit 304, a point acquisition unit 306, and a procedure execution unit 308.

The request information receiving unit 302 receives, from the user terminal 400 of the user 42, request information for requesting a seat ticket purchase or reservation. The user terminal 400 may be a terminal owned by the user 42. The user terminal 400 may be a mobile phone such as a smartphone, a mobile terminal, and a PC (Personal Computer). The request information receiving unit 302 receives request information from the user terminal 400 via the communication network 20, for example.

The user information acquisition unit 304 acquires user information of the user 42 of the user terminal 400 that has transmitted the request information. The user information acquisition unit 304 receives, for example, the user information of the user 42 from the user information management server 410.

The point acquisition unit 306 acquires a seat ticket point of the user 42. When the operation management server 200 manages the seat ticket points of the user 42, the point acquisition unit 306 receives the seat ticket points of the user 42 from the operation management server 200. When the railway company server 300 manages the seat ticket points of the user 42, the point acquisition unit 306 reads the seat ticket points managed by the railway company server 300.

The procedure execution unit 308 executes a seat ticket purchase procedure or reservation procedure for the user 42 based on the points acquired by the point acquisition unit 306. The seat ticket purchasing procedure may be a procedure for reducing a seat ticket point corresponding to the user 42 and issuing a seat ticket. The procedure execution unit 308 may cause the ticket issuing unit 310 to issue a seat ticket.

The ticket issuing unit 310 issues a seat ticket. The ticket issuing unit 310 issues, for example, a physical seat ticket. For example, when the user 42 holding the user terminal 400 is in front of the ticket vending machine, the ticket issuing unit 310 may cause the ticket vending machine to issue a seat ticket. In addition, the ticket issuing unit 310 issues, for example, an electronic seat ticket. The ticket issuing unit 310 transmits, for example, electronic data of a seat ticket to the user terminal 400 via the communication network 20.

The seat ticket purchasing procedure may be a procedure for reducing the seat ticket point corresponding to the user 42 and making it possible to issue a seat ticket. For example, the procedure execution unit 308 permits the issue of the physical seat ticket by the ticket issuing unit 310. As a specific example, the procedure execution unit 308 transmits, to the ticket issuing unit 310, information for identifying the user terminal 400 of the user 42 and information for permitting the user terminal 400 to issue a seat ticket. The ticket issuing unit 310 may issue a physical seat ticket when, for example, the discovery request is received from the user terminal 400 via near field communication and the like and the user terminal 400 can be authenticated.

Also, for example, the procedure execution unit 308 permits the issue of the electronic seat ticket by the ticket issuing unit 310. As a specific example, the procedure execution unit 308 transmits, to the ticket issuing unit 310, information for identifying the user terminal 400 of the user 42 and information for permitting the user terminal 400 to issue a seat ticket. The ticket issuing unit 310 may transmit the electronic data of the seat ticket to the user terminal 400 when the discovery request is received from the user terminal 400 via the communication network 20 and the user terminal 400 can be authenticated.

The seat ticket reservation procedure may be a procedure for reducing a seat ticket point corresponding to the user 42 and making a seat ticket reservation. The procedure execution unit 308, for example, reduces the seat ticket point corresponding to the user 42, and sets the ticket issuing unit 310 to issue a seat ticket at reserved time. The ticket issuing unit 310 may issue a seat ticket at reservation time. In addition, the ticket issuing unit 310 may issue a seat ticket when a ticket issuance request is received from the user terminal 400 after the reservation time.

The procedure execution unit 308 may change a seat ticket point necessary for purchasing or reserving a seat ticket based on arbitrary information. For example, the procedure execution unit 308 changes the necessary points based on the time zone congestion rate of the traffic service. As a specific example, the procedure execution unit 308 changes the seat ticket points necessary for purchasing or reserving a seat ticket so as to require more points in a time zone in which the time zone congestion rate of the train is higher.

The seat ticket may have an available time zone. For example, seat tickets available from 5 o'clock to 9 o'clock, seat tickets available from 9 o'clock to 17 o'clock, seat tickets available from 17 o'clock to 0 o'clock, seat tickets available from 0 o'clock to 5 o'clock May exist. In this case, the procedure execution unit 308 may change the necessary points for each seat ticket by time zone. As a specific example, when the time zone congestion rate from 5 o'clock to 9 o'clock is higher than the time zone congestion rate from 9 o'clock to 17 o'clock, the procedure execution unit 308 changes the seat ticket available from 5 o'clock to 9 o'clock. Make the required points higher than those required for available seat tickets from 9 to 17 o'clock.

A usable time zone may not be set in the seat ticket, and a use time limit from ticketing may be set. For example, an arbitrary expiration date such as 5 minutes, 10 minutes, or 30 minutes from ticketing is set. In this case, the procedure execution unit 308 may change the necessary points in accordance with the time slot for issuing a seat ticket. As a specific example, when the time zone congestion rate from 5 o'clock to 9 o'clock is higher than the time zone congestion rate from 9 o'clock to 17 o'clock, the procedure execution unit 308 issues a ticket between 5 o'clock and 9 o'clock Make the points you need to be higher than the points you need to issue between 9:00 and 17:00.

In addition, the procedure execution unit 308 may change a seat ticket point necessary for purchasing or reserving a seat ticket, according to the accumulated amount of seat ticket points given to the user 42. For example, as the accumulated amount of seat ticket points increases, the procedure execution unit 308 lowers the seat ticket points required to purchase or reserve a seat ticket.

For example, the procedure execution unit 308 ranks the users 42 according to the accumulated amount of seat ticket points. As a specific example, the procedure execution unit 308 determines that the rank A when the accumulated amount is larger than the first threshold, and the accumulated amount is between the first threshold and the second threshold lower than the first threshold. Of rank B and rank C when the accumulated amount is smaller than the second threshold, and lower the seat ticket points necessary for purchasing or reserving a seat ticket in the order of rank C, rank B and rank A. The number of ranks is not limited to this, and may be two or four or more.

Seat ticket points required to purchase or reserve a seat ticket for each of rank A, rank B, and rank C are determined based on an arbitrary method, provided that rank C, rank B, and rank A are lowered in the order May be done. For example, set a standard seat ticket point necessary to purchase or reserve a certain seat ticket, and the seat ticket point at which the user 42 of rank C purchases or reserves the seat ticket is 100% of the standard seat ticket point, rank B 90% of the seat ticket point when the user 42 of the user purchases or reserves the seat ticket, 90% of the seat ticket point, and the seat ticket point when the user 42 of rank A purchases or reserves the seat ticket Change the ratio for each rank, such as 80%. Also, for example, a seat ticket point when the user 42 of rank C purchases or reserves the seat ticket is the same as the reference seat ticket point, and a user 42 of rank B purchases or reserves the seat ticket Change the discount points such as using 2 points less than the standard seat ticket points and setting 4 points less than the standard seat ticket points for the seat ticket points when a user with rank A purchases or reserves a seat ticket Let The seat ticket points required to purchase or reserve a seat ticket for each of rank A, rank B, and rank C may be arbitrarily set to be lower in the order of rank C, rank B, and rank A.

Buy or reserve a seat ticket at a lower seat ticket point for users 42 with more power availability by lowering the seat ticket point required to purchase or reserve a seat ticket as the cumulative amount of seat ticket points increases It can be done. For example, in the case of providing an interface that presents only purchasable seat tickets according to the remaining amount of the seat ticket points of the user 42, the remaining amounts of the seat ticket points of the plurality of users 42 may be temporarily the same. Even higher ranked users 42 may be presented with more seat tickets than lower ranked users 42. This can provide the user 42 with an incentive to provide more power.

In the above embodiment, an example in which the power information acquisition unit 202 acquires power information including information indicating the amount of power provided to the railway company by the user 42 and information on the power source indicating the supply source of the power is described. Although mentioned and explained, it does not restrict to this. The power information acquisition unit 202 may acquire power information including the amount of power scheduled to be provided to the railway company by the user 42. This makes it possible to increase the number of seat ticket points corresponding to the user 42, as collateral for providing power later, and to improve convenience.

In the above embodiment, although the case where the operation management server 200 and the railway company server 300 are separate bodies has been described as an example, the present invention is not limited to this. The operation management server 200 and the railway company server 300 are integrated. It may be.

FIG. 3 schematically shows another example of the operation management server 200. Here, the case where power is provided to a service company that provides some service to the user 42 will be described as an example. The points different from FIG. 2 will be mainly described.
