  A person in charge of the power transfer system 100 in the power company P inputs attribute information of the power generated in the power company P to the power generation information management apparatus 170 using the input device. For example, the person in charge of the power transmission / reception system 100 in the power company P supplies and receives information on the power generation method and the power generated by the power generation method as attribute information of the power generated in the power company P. The information on the number of points of the point service to be performed and the point ID for identifying the point are input in association with each other.

  When the attribute data input receiving unit 171 of the power generation information management device 170 receives an input of power attribute information via the input device (S101), the attribute information storage unit 173 stores data indicating the power attribute information. (S102). In this way, the attribute information storage unit 173 of the power generation information management device 170 stores, for example, power attribute information as shown in FIG.

  FIG. 17 shows an example of an operation sequence of the power supply information management device 130 and the power generation information management device 170. This operation sequence is an operation in the case where attribute data including power attribute information is distributed from the power generation information management device 170 of the power company P to the power supply information management device 130 of the charging station S with which the power company P is contracted. Is shown. The operation sequence will be described with reference to FIGS.

  Here, it is assumed that power attribute information as shown in FIG. 15 is stored in the attribute information storage unit 173 of the power generation information management apparatus 170. When the attribute data distribution unit 172 of the power generation information management device 170 reads the attribute information of the power stored in the attribute information storage unit 173, the attribute data distribution unit 172 distributes the attribute data including the attribute information of the power (S201). For example, the attribute data distribution unit 172 distributes attribute data including power attribute information by publishing to the WWW (World Wide Web).

  The attribute data acquisition unit 131 of the power supply information management device 130 acquires the attribute data distributed from the power generation information management device 170. For example, the attribute data acquisition unit 131 acquires attribute data published on the WWW. The attribute data acquisition unit 131 stores the power attribute information included in the acquired attribute data in the attribute information storage unit 136 (S202). In this way, the attribute information storage unit 136 of the power supply information management device 130 stores the power attribute information as shown in FIG. However, at this stage, information on the power supply method, information on the unit price (yen / kWh), and attribute information on the power generated in the charging infrastructure S are not stored.

  FIG. 18 illustrates an example of an operation flow of the power supply information management device 130. This operation flow shows the operation when the attribute information of the power supplied in the charging infrastructure S is input. The operation sequence is described with reference to FIGS.

The person in charge of the power transfer system 100 in the charging infrastructure S inputs attribute information of the power supplied in the charging infrastructure S to the power supply information management device 130 using the input device.
For example, the person in charge of the power transfer system 100 in the charging infrastructure S generates power generation information in the charging infrastructure S as attribute information of power supplied in the charging infrastructure S, information on the power supply method, unit price (yen / kWh), and so on. And input power attribute information.

  When the attribute data input reception unit 132 of the power supply information management device 130 receives input of power attribute information via the input device (S301), the attribute information storage unit 136 stores data indicating the power attribute information. (S302). In this way, for example, power attribute information as shown in FIG. 9 is stored in the attribute information storage unit 136 of the power supply information management apparatus 130.

  FIG. 19 illustrates an example of an operation sequence of the power storage information management device 110 and the power supply information management device 130. This operation sequence shows an operation when the power supplied from the charger C of the charging station S is charged to the storage battery B of the electric vehicle E. The description of this operation sequence will be made with reference to FIGS.

  In the charging infrastructure S of the power transfer system 100, it is assumed that the combination of the power generation method, the power supply method, the unit price (yen / kWh), and the point service points (points / kWh) can be supplied with different power. For example, when the information as shown in FIG. 9 is stored in the attribute information storage unit 136 of the power supply information management apparatus 130, the power generation method “nuclear power”, the power supply method “normal”, and the unit price “20” in the charging infrastructure S. (Yen / kWh) "and power of point" 0 (points / kWh) ", power generation method" nuclear power ", power supply method" rapid ", unit price" 30 (yen / kWh) ", and point" 0 (points / kWh) " ) ", Power generation method" sunlight ", power supply method" normal ", unit price" 30 (yen / kWh) "and point" 5 (point / kWh) ", power generation method" solar power ", power supply method “Rapid”, unit price “50 (yen / kWh)” and point “5 (point / kWh)”, power generation method “thermal power”, power supply method “normal”, unit price “20 (yen / kWh)”, and Electric power of point “0 (point / kWh)”, power generation method “fire” "Feeding method" rapid ", unit price" 40 (yen / kWh) ", and out of the power point" 0 (point / kWh) ", and those which can be supplied with the desired power. It is assumed that the charger C of the charging infrastructure S is provided with a selection button or the like for selecting which power supply is to be received. The user of the electric vehicle E operates a selection button provided on the charger C to select a desired power and starts charging the storage battery B of the electric vehicle E. On the other hand, the charger C is a combination of power generation method, power supply method, unit price (yen / kWh), and point service points (points / kWh) that can be selected by a selection button operated by a user of the electric vehicle E. Is output to the power supply information management apparatus 130.

  When the selection data input reception unit 133 of the power supply information management device 130 receives the selection data output from the charger C (S401), the selection data input reception unit 133 transmits the selection data to the attribute data transmission unit 135.

  On the other hand, when power supply from the charger C to the storage battery B is started, the watt-hour meter of the charging infrastructure S starts measuring the power supply amount from the charger C to the storage battery B. Then, when the power supply from the charger C to the storage battery B is completed, the watt-hour meter of the charging infrastructure S outputs power amount data indicating the measured power supply amount to the power supply information management device 130.

  When the power amount data input reception unit 134 of the power supply information management device 130 receives the input of the power amount data output from the watt hour meter (S402), the power amount data input reception unit 134 transmits the power amount data to the attribute data transmission unit 135.

  Similarly, the watt-hour meter of the electric vehicle E starts measuring the amount of charge to the storage battery B when the charge to the storage battery B is started. When charging of the storage battery B is completed, the watt-hour meter of the electric vehicle E outputs power amount data indicating the measured charge amount to the power storage information management device 110.

  When the power amount data input receiving unit 113 of the power storage information management apparatus 110 receives the input of the power amount data output from the watt hour meter (S403), the power amount data input receiving unit 113 sends the power amount data to the attribute evaluation unit 112.

  On the other hand, the attribute data transmission unit 135 of the power supply information management device 130 receives the selection data transmitted from the selection data input reception unit 133 and receives the power amount data transmitted from the power amount data input reception unit 134. The attribute information stored in the information storage unit 136 is read out. More specifically, the attribute data transmission unit 135 includes, among the attribute information stored in the attribute information storage unit 136, the power generation method, the power supply method, and the unit price indicated by the selection data received from the selection data input reception unit 133. The attribute information in which the combination of (yen / kWh) and the point service point (point / kWh) is associated is read. Then, the attribute data transmission unit 135 multiplies the value of the point (point / kWh) read from the attribute information storage unit 136 by the value of the power supply amount indicated by the power amount data received from the power amount data input reception unit 134. The value is calculated as the number of point service points to be given to the user who has charged the storage battery B of the electric vehicle E. The attribute data transmission unit 135 then calculates the information on the number of points of the point service, the charging infrastructure, the power generation source, the power generation method, the unit price (yen / kWh), and the point ID information read from the attribute information storage unit 136. Are transmitted to the power storage information management device 110 of the charged electric vehicle E by short-range wireless communication (S404).

  In addition, the charge for charging the storage battery B is obtained by multiplying the value of the unit price (yen / kWh) read from the attribute information storage unit 136 by the attribute data transmission unit 135 by the value of the power supply amount indicated by the power amount data. It becomes a charge.

  When the attribute data reception unit 111 of the power storage information management device 110 receives the attribute data transmitted from the power supply information management device 130, the attribute data reception unit 111 sends the attribute data to the attribute evaluation unit 112.

  When the attribute evaluation unit 112 of the power storage information management device 110 receives the power amount data transmitted from the power amount data input receiving unit 113 and receives the attribute data transmitted from the attribute data reception unit 111, the attribute evaluation unit 112 stores power in the storage battery B after charging. The attribute of the applied power is evaluated (S405). More specifically, the attribute evaluation unit 112 charges the average unit price (yen / kWh) of the power stored in the storage battery B after charging, the stored amount (kWh), and the number of points (points) of point service. Later, it is evaluated as an attribute of the electric power stored in the storage battery B.

  Here, it is assumed that attribute information as shown in FIG. 3 is stored in the attribute information storage unit 117 before charging. In that case, the amount of power stored in the storage battery B before charging is 10 (kWh). Then, assuming that the charge amount indicated by the power amount data is 10 (kWh), the attribute evaluation unit 112 sets the charge amount stored in the storage battery B after the charge to 10 (kWh) +10 (kWh) = 20 ( kWh).

  Referring to FIG. 3, the point service point number before charging is the point 20 (point) of the point ID “X2”. Then, assuming that each piece of information of the point ID “X2” and the point 50 (point) is included in the attribute data, the attribute evaluation unit 112 determines the point number of the point service after charging as the point of the point ID “X2”. Evaluated as 70 (points).

  Referring to FIG. 3, the amount of power stored in the storage battery B before charging is 10 (kWh). Referring to FIG. 3, the average unit price of the power stored in the storage battery B before charging is 30 (yen / kWh). Then, if the charge amount indicated by the power amount data is 10 (kWh) and the information of the unit price “50 (yen / kWh)” is included in the attribute data, the attribute evaluation unit 112 stores the information in the storage battery B after charging. The average unit price of the stored power is (10 (kWh) × 30 (yen / kWh) +10 (kWh) × 50 (yen / kWh)) / (10 (kWh) +10 (kWh)) = 40 (yen / kWh).

  Then, the attribute evaluation unit 112 stores the attribute information of the power thus evaluated in the attribute information storage unit 117 (S406). In this way, the attribute information storage unit 117 stores information as shown in FIG.

  In this way, when the attribute information stored in the attribute information storage unit 117 is updated, the display data output unit 116 of the power storage information management device 110 reads the attribute information stored in the attribute information storage unit 117. Then, display data for displaying the current attribute information of the power stored in the storage battery B on the display is output to the display (S407). On the display, as the current attribute information of the electric power stored in the storage battery B, each information of the updated average unit price (yen / kWh), storage amount (kWh), and point number (points) of point service Will be displayed. Thus, the user of the electric vehicle E can grasp the attribute information of the power stored in the storage battery B after charging.

  FIG. 20 shows an example of an operation flow of the power storage information management device 110. This operation flow shows the operation when the electric vehicle E travels. The description of this operation flow will be made with reference to FIGS.

Thus, when the electric battery E is discharged from the storage battery B as the electric vehicle E travels, the watt-hour meter of the electric vehicle E measures the discharge amount of the storage battery B. Then, the watt hour meter outputs power amount data indicating the amount of discharge to the power storage information management device 110.

  When the power amount data input receiving unit 113 of the power storage information management apparatus 110 receives the input of the power amount data output from the watt hour meter (S501), the power amount data input receiving unit 113 sends the power amount data to the attribute evaluating unit 112.

  Upon receiving the power amount data sent from the power amount data input receiving unit 113, the attribute evaluation unit 112 of the power storage information management device 110 evaluates the attribute of the power stored in the storage battery B after discharging (S502). More specifically, the attribute evaluation unit 112 evaluates the storage amount (kWh) of power stored in the storage battery B after discharging as an attribute of power stored in the storage battery B after discharging.

  Here, it is assumed that attribute information as shown in FIG. 4 is stored in the attribute information storage unit 117 before discharge. In that case, the amount of electricity stored in the storage battery B before discharging is 20 (kWh). Then, assuming that the discharge amount indicated by the power amount data is 5 (kWh), the attribute evaluation unit 112 sets the storage amount stored in the storage battery B after charging as 20 (kWh) −5 (kWh) = 15. Evaluated as (kWh).

  Then, the attribute evaluation unit 112 stores the attribute information of the power thus evaluated in the attribute information storage unit 117 (S503). In this way, the attribute information storage unit 117 stores information as shown in FIG.

  When the attribute information stored in the attribute information storage unit 117 is updated in this way, the display data output unit 116 of the power storage information management device 110 reads the attribute information stored in the attribute information storage unit 117. Then, display data for displaying the current attribute information of the power stored in the storage battery B on the display is output to the display (S504). Then, the information on the updated storage amount (kWh) is displayed on the display as the current attribute information of the power stored in the storage battery B. In this way, the user of the electric vehicle E can grasp the amount of power stored after traveling.

More specifically, the purchase price calculation unit 154 calculates the purchase price by multiplying the value of the purchase unit price (yen / kWh) indicated by the condition data by the value of the amount of power received indicated by the power amount data. . Then, the purchase price calculation unit 154 sends purchase price data indicating the calculated purchase price to the display data output unit 155.

  Similarly, when power supply from the storage battery B to the power receiving facility A is started, the watt-hour meter of the electric vehicle E starts measuring the discharge amount of the storage battery B. Then, when the power supply from the storage battery B to the power receiving facility A is completed, the watt hour meter outputs power amount data indicating the measured discharge amount to the power storage information management device 110.

  When the power amount data input receiving unit 113 of the power storage information management device 110 receives the input of the power amount data output from the watt hour meter (S604), the power amount data is received by the attribute evaluation unit 112 and the attribute data transmitting unit. 115.

  When the attribute data transmission unit 115 of the power storage information management device 110 receives the condition data sent from the condition data receiving unit 114 and receives the power amount data sent from the power amount data input receiving unit 113, the attribute data transmission unit 115 discharges from the storage battery B. The attribute data including the attribute information of the received power is transmitted to the power reception information management apparatus 150 (S605). For example, the attribute data transmitting unit 115 multiplies the number of points per unit power amount to be transferred to the consumer R indicated by the condition data by the discharge amount indicated by the power amount data, and transfers it to the consumer R. Calculate the number of points. Then, the attribute data transmission unit 115 refers to the information stored in the attribute information storage unit 117, and the points of points that can satisfy the number of points to be transferred to the customer R among the possessed points Read the ID.

  When the attribute data receiving unit 152 of the power reception information management device 150 receives the attribute data transmitted from the power storage information management device 110, the attribute information storage unit stores the point ID and the point (point) information indicated by the attribute data. The data is stored in the unit 156 (S606). When there is information already stored in the attribute information storage unit 156, the attribute data reception unit 152 stores the value of the point (point) indicated by the attribute data in association with the same point ID as the point ID. It is updated by adding to the current point value. In this way, information as shown in FIG. 11 is stored in the attribute information storage unit 156 of the power reception information management device 150. Further, the attribute data receiving unit 152 sends the attribute data to the display data output unit 155.

  When the display data output unit 155 of the power reception information management apparatus 150 receives the purchase price data sent from the purchase price calculation unit 154 and receives the attribute data sent from the attribute data reception unit 152, the power receiving facility A receives power. Display data for displaying power attribute information on the display is output to the display (S607). For example, the display data output unit 155 uses the purchase price of power indicated by the purchase price data or the number of points transferred from the user of the electric vehicle E indicated by the attribute data as attribute information of the power received by the power receiving facility A. Outputs display data for displaying the information. In this way, the customer R can grasp information such as the purchase price of the purchased power and the number of points acquired. At that time, the consumer R of the convenience store does not pay cash equivalent to the purchase price of the electric power to the user of the electric vehicle E, but the purchase price of the electric power among the products sold at the convenience store. You may make it transfer the goods corresponded to. Further, the consumer R of the convenience store may transfer the goods of the convenience store according to the number of points of the point service transferred from the user of the electric vehicle E.

When the attribute data sent from the unit 115 is received, the attribute of the electric power stored in the storage battery B after discharging is evaluated (S608). More specifically, the attribute evaluation unit 112 discharges the average unit price (yen / kWh) of power stored in the storage battery B after discharging, the amount of stored power (kWh), and the number of points (points) of point service. Later, it is evaluated as an attribute of the electric power stored in the storage battery B.

  Here, it is assumed that attribute information as shown in FIG. 5 is stored in the attribute information storage unit 117 before discharge. In that case, the amount of electricity stored before discharging is 15 (kWh). Then, assuming that the discharge amount indicated by the power amount data is 5 (kWh), the attribute evaluation unit 112 sets the storage amount stored in the storage battery B after the discharge to 15 (kWh) −5 (kWh) = 10. Evaluated as (kWh).

  Referring to FIG. 5, the point service point number before discharging is the point 70 (point) of the point ID “X2”. Then, assuming that each piece of information of the point ID “X2” and the point 25 (point) is included in the attribute data, the attribute evaluation unit 112 determines the point number of the point service after the discharge as the point of the point ID “X2”. Evaluated as 45 (points). Further, for example, if each piece of information of the point ID “X2” and the point 50 (point) is included in the attribute data, the attribute evaluation unit 112 sets the point number of the point service after the discharge as the point ID “X2”. The point 20 (point) is evaluated.

  FIG. 31 shows an example of an operation sequence of the power storage information management device 210a, the power storage information management device 210b, and the power storage information management server 290. This operation sequence shows an operation when power discharged from the storage battery B of the electric vehicle E is supplied to the storage battery B of another electric vehicle E. The description of this operation sequence is made with reference to FIGS.

  In the power transfer system 200, users of the electric vehicle E buy and sell the power stored in the storage battery B. In the following description, an example in which the user of the electric vehicle Eb purchases electric power from the user of the electric vehicle Ea will be described. In buying and selling electric power, each user of the electric vehicles Ea, b negotiates conditions such as a unit price of electric power transaction (yen / kWh). When the conditions are determined through negotiation, the user of the electric vehicle Eb uses the input device to input condition data including the determined conditions and the user ID of the user to the power storage information management device 210b. .

  When the condition data input receiving unit 218b of the power storage information management apparatus 210b receives the input of the condition data (S701), the condition data input receiving unit 218b sends the condition data to the attribute evaluation unit 212a and the condition data transmission unit 219b.

  When the condition data transmission unit 219b of the power storage information management device 210b receives the condition data sent from the condition data input reception unit 218b, the condition data transmission unit 219b transmits the condition data to the power storage information management device 210a by short-range wireless communication (S702). . When the condition data reception unit 214a of the storage information management device 210a receives the condition data transmitted from the storage information management device 210b, the condition data reception unit 214a transmits the condition data to the attribute evaluation unit 212a and the attribute data transmission unit 215a.

  When power supply from the storage battery Ba of the electric vehicle Ea to the storage battery Eb of the electric vehicle Eb is started, the watt-hour meter of the electric vehicle Eb starts measuring the charge amount of the storage battery Bb. When power supply from the storage battery Ba to the storage battery Bb is completed, the watt-hour meter of the electric vehicle Eb outputs power amount data indicating the measured charge amount to the power storage information management device 210b.

  When the power amount data input receiving unit 213b of the power storage information management apparatus 210b receives the input of the power amount data output from the watt hour meter (S703), the power amount data input receiving unit 213b sends the power amount data to the attribute evaluating unit 212b.

  Similarly, when power supply from the storage battery Ba of the electric vehicle Ea to the storage battery Bb of the electric vehicle Eb is started, the watt-hour meter of the electric vehicle Ea starts measuring the discharge amount of the storage battery Ba. When power supply from the storage battery Ba to the storage battery Bb ends, the watt-hour meter of the electric vehicle Ea outputs power amount data indicating the measured discharge amount to the power storage information management device 210a.

  When the power amount data input receiving unit 213a of the power storage information management apparatus 210a receives the input of the power amount data output from the watt hour meter (S704), the power amount data is converted into the attribute evaluation unit 212a and the attribute data transmitting unit.

  When the attribute data transmission unit 215a of the storage information management device 210a receives the condition data sent from the condition data reception unit 214a and receives the power amount data sent from the power amount data input reception unit 213a, the attribute data transmission unit 215a discharges from the storage battery Ba. The attribute data including the attribute information of the generated power is transmitted to the power storage information management device 210b and the power storage information management server 290 (S705, S706). For example, the attribute data transmission unit 215a is a combination of power generated by various power generation sources, power generated by various power generation methods, and power supplied by various charging infrastructures S. Is transmitted to the power storage information management device 210b. In addition, the attribute data transmission unit 215a multiplies the value of the transaction unit price (yen / kWh) of power included in the condition data by the value of the discharge amount (kWh) indicated by the power amount data input reception unit 213, Calculate the transaction price (yen) of electricity. Then, the attribute data transmission unit 215a stores the attribute data including information on the calculated transaction price (yen) of power, its own user ID, and the transaction partner user ID included in the condition data. While transmitting to the information management server 290, it transmits to the attribute evaluation part 212a.

  When the attribute data receiving unit 291 of the power storage information management server 290 receives the attribute data transmitted from the power storage information management device 210 a, the attribute data reception unit 291 sends the attribute data to the electronic payment processing unit 292.

  Upon receiving the attribute data sent from the attribute data receiving unit 291, the electronic payment processing unit 292 of the power storage information management server 290 refers to the payment information stored in the payment information storage unit 293 and is included in the attribute data. The electronic payment related to the buying and selling of power between the users identified by each user ID is performed. Thus, in the power transfer system 200, when buying and selling power between users of the electric vehicle E, it is possible to perform transactions without directly exchanging money between the users.

  On the other hand, the attribute evaluation unit 212a of the storage information management apparatus 210a receives the condition data sent from the condition data receiving unit 214a, receives the power amount data sent from the power amount data input receiving unit 213a, and transmits the attribute data. When the attribute data sent from the unit 215a is received, the attribute of the power stored in the storage battery Ba after discharging is evaluated (S708). More specifically, the attribute evaluation unit 212a determines the average unit price (yen / kWh) of power stored in the storage battery Ba after discharge and the stored amount (kWh) of power stored in the storage battery Ba after discharge. Evaluate as an attribute of.

Here, it is assumed that attribute information as shown in FIG. 24 is stored in the attribute information storage unit 217a before discharge. In that case, the amount of electricity stored before discharging is 15 (kWh).
Then, assuming that the discharge amount indicated by the power amount data is 5 (kWh), the attribute evaluation unit 212a sets the storage amount stored in the storage battery Ba after the discharge to 15 (kWh) -5 (kWh) = 10. Evaluated as (kWh).

  Referring to FIG. 24, the amount of power stored in the storage battery Ba before discharging is 15 (kWh). Referring to FIG. 24, the average unit price of the electric power stored in the storage battery Ba before discharging is 40 (yen / kWh). Then, assuming that the discharge amount indicated by the power amount data is 5 (kWh) and the transaction unit price 35 (yen / kWh) information is included in the condition data, the attribute evaluation unit 212a stores power in the storage battery Ba after discharge. The average unit price of the power used is (15 (kWh) × 40 (yen / kWh) −5 (kWh) × 35 (yen / kWh)) / (15 (kWh) −5 (kWh)) = 42.5 Evaluate as (yen / kWh).

  In addition, in this example, since the information on the traded points is not included in the attribute data, the attribute evaluation unit 212a does not evaluate the points as the attribute information. However, when the information on the traded points is included in the attribute data, the attribute evaluation unit 212a performs the evaluation related to the points in the same manner as the processing by the attribute evaluation unit 112 described above.

  Then, the attribute evaluation unit 212a stores the power attribute information evaluated in this way in the attribute information storage unit 217a (S709). In this way, information as shown in FIG. 25 is stored in the attribute information storage unit 217a.

  When the attribute information stored in the attribute information storage unit 217a is updated in this way, the attribute data transmission unit 215a of the power storage information management device 210a reads the attribute information stored in the attribute information storage unit 217a. Then, the attribute data indicating the attribute information is transmitted to the power storage information management server 290 (S710).

  Upon receiving the attribute data transmitted from the power storage information management device 210a, the attribute data receiving unit 291 of the power storage information management server 290 stores the attribute data in the attribute information storage unit 294 (S711). In this way, information as shown in FIG. 30A is stored in the attribute information storage unit 294 of the power storage information management server 290. In this way, the attribute information managed by the power storage information management device 210a is backed up in the power storage information management server 290.

  On the other hand, when the attribute information stored in the attribute information storage unit 217a of the power storage information management device 210a is updated, the display data output unit 216a of the power storage information management device 210a updates the attribute stored in the attribute information storage unit 217a. The information is read, and display data for displaying the current attribute information of the power stored in the storage battery Ba on the display is output to the display (S712). Then, the updated average unit price (yen / kWh) and storage amount (kWh) information are displayed on the display as attribute information of the power stored in the storage battery Ba. Thus, the user of the electric vehicle Ea can grasp the attribute information of the electric power stored in the storage battery Ba after discharging.

  On the other hand, the attribute evaluation unit 212b of the power storage information management device 210b receives the condition data sent from the condition data input receiving unit 214b, receives the power amount data sent from the power amount data input receiving unit 213b, and receives the attribute data. When the attribute data sent from the receiver 211b is received, the attribute of the electric power stored in the storage battery Bb after charging is evaluated (S713). More specifically, the attribute evaluation unit 212b uses the power stored in the storage battery Bb after charging for the average unit price (yen / kWh) of power stored in the storage battery Bb after charging and the storage amount (kWh). Evaluate as an attribute of.

  Here, it is assumed that attribute information as shown in FIG. 26 is stored in the attribute information storage unit 217b before charging. In that case, the amount of electricity stored before charging is 5 (kWh). Then, assuming that the charge amount indicated by the power amount data is 5 (kWh), the attribute evaluation unit 212b sets the charge amount stored in the storage battery Bb after the charge to 5 (kWh) +5 (kWh) = 10 ( kWh).

  Referring to FIG. 26, the amount of power stored in the storage battery Bb before charging is 5 (kWh). Referring to FIG. 26, the average unit price of the electric power stored in the storage battery Bb before charging is 30 (yen / kWh). Then, assuming that the charge amount indicated by the power amount data is 5 (kWh) and the transaction unit price 35 (yen / kWh) information is included in the condition data, the attribute evaluation unit 212b stores the power in the storage battery Bb after charging. The average unit price of the power used is (5 (kWh) × 30 (yen / kWh) +5 (kWh) × 35 (yen / kWh)) / (5 (kWh) +5 (kWh)) = 32.5 (yen / KWh).

  In addition, in this example, since the information of the traded points is not included in the attribute data, the attribute evaluation unit 212b does not perform the evaluation regarding the points as the attribute information. However, when the information on the traded points is included in the attribute data, the attribute evaluation unit 212b performs the point-related evaluation in the same manner as the processing by the attribute evaluation unit 112 described above.

  Then, the attribute evaluation unit 212b stores the power attribute information evaluated in this way in the attribute information storage unit 217b (S714). In this way, information as shown in FIG. 27 is stored in the attribute information storage unit 217b.

  In this way, when the attribute information stored in the attribute information storage unit 217b is updated, the attribute data transmission unit 215b of the power storage information management device 210b reads out the attribute information stored in the attribute information storage unit 217b. Then, the attribute data indicating the attribute information is transmitted to the power storage information management server 290 (S715).

  Upon receiving the attribute data transmitted from the power storage information management device 210b, the attribute data receiving unit 291 of the power storage information management server 290 stores the attribute data in the attribute information storage unit 294 (S716). In this way, information as shown in FIG. 30B is stored in the attribute information storage unit 294 of the power storage information management server 290. In this way, the attribute information managed by the power storage information management device 210b is backed up to the power storage information management server 290.

  On the other hand, when the attribute information stored in the attribute information storage unit 217b of the power storage information management device 210b is updated, the display data output unit 216b of the power storage information management device 210b updates the attribute stored in the attribute information storage unit 217b. The information is read, and display data for displaying the current attribute information of the power stored in the storage battery Bb on the display is output to the display (S712). Then, the updated average unit price (yen / kWh) and storage amount (kWh) information are displayed on the display as attribute information of the power stored in the storage battery Bb. Thus, the user of the electric vehicle Eb can grasp the attribute information of the electric power stored in the storage battery Bb after charging.
