For example, it is possible to receive a notification such as “scheduled charging end time is PM 3:00 of XX day”. At this stage, if you want to change the charging conditions such as charging time, by displaying the URL to access the server 30 in the e-mail, the user accesses the server 30 from the URL by the terminal 20, You can change the current charging conditions. For example, when the charging condition is initially set to “15 minutes”, but it is desired to change the charging condition to “full charging”, the charging condition can be changed by accessing the server 30 described above. When the charging condition is changed, a message to that effect and the scheduled charging end time according to the changed condition are notified by e-mail (not shown). In addition, even if access between the terminal 20 and the server 30 is temporarily terminated without receiving the above religious service or after receiving a specific religious service, the terminal is used using the URL displayed in the e-mail. By accessing the server 30 again from the machine 20, it is possible to receive a predetermined religious service as necessary.

  (16) On the other hand, in the power supply station 10, it is determined whether or not charging of the in-vehicle battery is completed (step Se5). Normally, an electric vehicle has a function of cutting off power reception from the electric vehicle side when charging of the in-vehicle battery is completed. Blocking of power reception from the electric vehicle side (measured electric energy by the electric energy measuring means 12) The charging station 10 can end the charging by turning off the switch means 11 when the charging time selected from the power supply menu elapses or the like. If charging is not completed, charging and measurement of electric energy are continued.

  (17) When power supply to the in-vehicle battery is stopped and charging is completed, a power supply completion notice is transmitted to the server 30 via the stand side communication means 13 by the stand control means 14 of the power supply stand 10 (step Se6). At that time, in the power supply station 10, a green lamp indicating the end of charging is turned on. At this point, since the processing in the power supply station 10 has been completed, the user can remove the charging cable 60 from the power supply station 10 at a later time (step Se8).

  (18) Furthermore, the power supply station 10 transmits the amount of power used until the end of charging to the server 30 (step Se7).

  (19) The server 30 receives the power supply completion notification from the power supply station 10 (step Ss8) and also receives the amount of power used (step Ss9).

  (20) The server 30 calculates the usage fee by the fee calculation means 35 based on the received power consumption and the unit price of the fee information read from the storage means 32 (step Ss10). At that time, if the user is provided with a paid religious service, the service usage fee is calculated based on the unit price of each service read from the storage means 32, and the service fee is added to the usage fee of the power supply system. To do. Further, if the user is a follower, the service usage fee is calculated so that a predetermined discount or free of charge is applied to the unit price of the service or the usage fee of the power supply station 10, and the usage fee of the power supply system 1 is calculated. Ask for. This usage fee is charged to the user.

  (21) On the other hand, the server 30 transmits a charge completion notification to the user terminal 20 by e-mail together with the calculated usage fee (step Ss11).

  (22) By confirming the e-mail of the terminal 20, the user can know how much the usage fee was charged at what charge at what charge, in addition to the completion of the charge ( Step Sc6). Of course, when a paid religious service is received, the details of the service fee can also be known by the e-mail. At this stage, if the battery capacity is not 100% and further charging is desired, the URL for accessing the server 30 is displayed in the e-mail so that the user can access the server from the URL using the terminal 20. Additional charging can be performed by accessing 30 and setting additional charging conditions (not shown). Also in that case, the charging is performed under an additional charging condition and the charging progress state corresponding to the condition is notified by e-mail (not shown). In addition, even if access between the terminal 20 and the server 30 is temporarily terminated without receiving the above religious service or after receiving a specific religious service, the terminal is used using the URL displayed in the e-mail. By accessing the server 30 again from the machine 20, it is possible to receive a predetermined religious service as necessary.

[Function and effect]
According to the above power feeding system, the following operational effects can be achieved.

  By installing the power supply station 10 corresponding to the system of the present invention in a parking lot or the like managed by a religious corporation, the user can not only charge the in-vehicle battery of the electric vehicle 50, but also if necessary. Religious services are also available.

  In addition to the usage fee for the power supply station 10 that accompanies the charging of the on-vehicle battery, the user can also settle the service fee when the religious service is charged.

  If the user is a religious believer associated with the service, the user can receive benefits such as a discount or free of charge when using the religious service or the power supply station 10.

  When the power supply stand 10 is installed in each of a plurality of parking spaces, any one of them is a master unit having a communication function with the server 30, and the rest is a slave unit that uses the communication function of the master unit. There is no need for the power supply station 10 to have a communication function. Therefore, the structure of the whole power supply stand can be simplified and the cost can be reduced.

  By providing the power supply stand 10 with a lock mechanism that prevents the removal of the charging cable 60 during power supply, it is possible to ensure the safety of the user and prevent the charging cable 60 from being stolen.

[Modification 1-1]
As a modification of the first embodiment, the usage fee of the power feeding system may be settled with a credit card. In that case, when user authentication is performed (step Ss1 in FIG. 4), credit authentication is performed from the server 30 to the credit company. The usage fee data obtained by the fee calculating means 35 may be transmitted from the server 30 to the credit company together with the user's personal information in step Ss11 of FIG. The credit company that has received the user's personal information and usage fee data charges the user for this fee.

[Modification 1-2]
Next, as a modified example of the first embodiment, a description will be given of a power supply system that displays information on traffic around the area where the power supply station used by the user is displayed when providing a fortune as a religious service. This example has the same system configuration as that of the first embodiment except that the traffic information can be added to the fortune. Hereinafter, differences from the first embodiment will be mainly described.

  In the power supply system of this example, the server 30 further includes traffic information acquisition means (not shown). The traffic information acquisition means acquires traffic information (including traffic congestion on the road) in the area where the power supply station 10 that the user intends to use is installed. As described in the first embodiment, the power supply station 10 to be used by the user is recognized by the server 30 by referring to the QR code data and the stand information at the time of personal authentication as described in the first embodiment. Can do.

  On the other hand, the traffic information acquisition means acquires national traffic information. The traffic information includes the use of public traffic information such as VICS (registered trademark of the Road Traffic Information Communication System Center). The Road Traffic Information Communication System Center has publicly disclosed the traffic information of the country every 5 minutes to the private sector. By using on-demand VICS, the traffic information acquisition means acquires the traffic information of the country. be able to. Therefore, it is possible to extract traffic information around the area of the power supply station 10 that the user wants to use from the traffic information of the whole country. The fortune ticket issuing unit described in the first embodiment issues a fortune ticket that combines the extracted traffic information of the specific area with the result data of the fortune ticket.

  According to the power supply system 1 of this example, traffic information in the area around the power supply station can be provided together with the fortune ticket, so that useful traffic information can be provided to the user, and risk prediction and traffic safety awareness can be improved. We can expect to contribute.

[Embodiment 2]
Next, an embodiment using a non-contact type IC chip as means for accessing the server will be described. The power supply system of this example is different from the first embodiment in that a non-contact type IC chip is used as means for accessing the server. Since other configurations are the same as those in the first embodiment, differences will be mainly described below.

  In this example, the user uses the terminal device 20 in which the non-contact type IC chip is built. An example of such a terminal 20 is a mobile phone having an “Osaifu-Keitai (registered trademark of NTT DoCoMo, Inc.)” function. An example of a non-contact type IC chip is a FeliCa (registered trademark of Sony Corporation) chip.

  On the other hand, the power supply stand 10 incorporates a reader / writer (not shown) for communicating with the non-contact type IC chip of the terminal 20. The user can perform mutual authentication by performing wireless communication between the chip and the reader / writer by holding the terminal 20 incorporating such a non-contact type IC chip close to the reader / writer. At the time of mutual authentication, the terminal 20 acquires an address for accessing the server and stand information of the power supply station.

  After the mutual authentication, the user accesses the server 30 with the terminal 20. The subsequent processing procedure is the same as that of the first embodiment. After accessing the server 30, personal authentication is performed by inputting an ID or password, and processing necessary for providing power supply or religious services is executed.

  According to this example, even if the terminal 20 does not include a camera for reading a QR code (a registered trademark of Denso Wave Co., Ltd.), it is possible to access a server using a non-contact type IC chip.

[Modification 2-1]
Next, a modified example using a non-contact type IC card as means for accessing the server will be described. The power supply system of this example is different from the first and second embodiments in that a non-contact type IC card is used as a means for accessing the server. Since other configurations are the same as those in the second embodiment, differences will be mainly described below.

  A specific example of the contactless IC card is a FeliCa (registered trademark of Sony Corporation) card. This non-contact type IC card also has the same function as the non-contact type IC chip used in the second embodiment. Therefore, by holding a non-contact type IC card over the reader / writer provided in the power supply stand 10, wireless communication can be performed between the chip and the reader / writer, and mutual authentication can be performed. However, in the case of this example, the access to the server 30 is performed via the stand side communication means 13 provided in the power supply stand 10.

  The contactless IC card may be distributed to users as a novelty of a religious organization or a power management system 10 operating company, for example. In that case, for example, instead of being charged to the user who received the card distribution, the religious organization or the operating company itself is set as the person to be charged, and the user authentication means 33 accesses the card using the card. The user is personally authenticated with the ID, password and personal information of the chargeable person. That is, the user who received the card distribution is temporarily regarded as the religious group or the operating company itself and personal authentication is performed. When authentication based on information on such a card is performed, it is possible to provide a power supply service free of charge up to a certain amount of power, for example, to a user who received distribution of the card. .

  In the case of this example, since the user who receives the power supply service is different from the person to be charged, the server cannot recognize the personal information of the user, and provides the religious service directly to the terminal 20 of the user. It is difficult. However, if the power supply station 10 is equipped with a display or speaker, and personal authentication based on the card is performed, it is possible to display and output the guidance data of religious organizations via the display or speaker of the power supply station 10. It is possible to provide a religious service to a user who receives a power supply service. Furthermore, when the personal authentication based on the card is performed, the fortune-telling in the first embodiment may be automatically provided to the user via the display or the speaker. In that case, fortune tickets are also provided to users free of charge.

  When using a non-contact type IC card, the card itself can be used as an amulet. For example, a display such as “Traffic Safety OO Taisha” may be displayed on one side of this card together with a general amulet design. In that case, the card can be used as a card that can receive a practical service such as a power supply service, and can be used as a novelty that makes it easy to appeal to a user.

  It goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be implemented in various forms without departing from the gist of the present invention. For example, in the first embodiment, one of the power supply stands is a master unit and the rest is a slave unit. However, all of the plurality of power supply stations may be the master unit. The scope of the present invention is defined by the terms of the claims, and includes all modifications within the scope equivalent to the terms of the claims.

  The power supply system of the present invention can be suitably used for the operation of a power supply stand for charging an in-vehicle battery of an electric vehicle.
