<Embodiment>
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

<Outline of management system>
First, the outline of the management system 1 according to the embodiment will be described. In the present embodiment, charging the electric vehicle means charging the battery of the electric vehicle. Further, in the following, for the sake of convenience of description, the charging agency of the electric vehicle will be simply referred to as the charging agency.

The management system 1 manages the charging agency by the agency in response to the request from the orderer. Here, the agent is a person who wants to charge the electric vehicle for a fee. More specifically, the surrogate is a person (or a person who wants to be paid) by performing at least one of a plurality of tasks that occur when charging an electric vehicle. .. The plurality of operations include, for example, collection of the electric vehicle, connection of the electric vehicle to charging equipment, return of the electric vehicle, and the like. Note that the plurality of works may include other works. The orderer is a person who wants to charge another person on behalf of an electric vehicle by paying a fee.

For example, the management system 1 places an order for a charging agent that is formed between an orderer A1 who wants to charge another person to charge the electric vehicle and an agent A2 who wants to charge the person who charges the electric vehicle, This is a system that manages (intermediates) charging of a charging agent to the person A1 and payment of a fee for the charging agent to the agent A2.

More specifically, the management system 1 receives a request for a charging agent for the electric vehicle B from the orderer A1. Based on the received request, the management system 1 causes the agent A2 to perform a charging agent for the electric vehicle B requested by the orderer A1. Then, the management system 1 monitors the electric vehicle B in order to prevent the occurrence of theft, mischief, accident, etc. during charging of the electric vehicle B until the charging is completed successfully. After the charging is completed, the management system 1 causes the agent A3 who wants to get the charge for charging the electric vehicle B to return the electric vehicle B. Here, the proxy A2 and the proxy A3 may be the same person or different people. After the return of the electric vehicle B is completed, the management system 1 charges the orderer A1 a charge for charging the electric vehicle B. In addition, after the return of the electric vehicle B is completed, the management system 1 pays the agent A2 and the agent A3 for the charging agent for the electric vehicle B (that is, a reward, a salary, etc.).

In this way, the management system 1 manages the charging agent by the agent. As a result, the management system 1 can provide the service of charging the electric vehicle on behalf of the user. Hereinafter, the configuration of the management system 1 will be described in detail.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of a management system 1 according to the embodiment. The management system 1 includes one or more first terminals 10, one or more second terminals 20, one or more information processing devices 30, and a management device 40. Here, in the following, for convenience of description, a user who operates each of the one or more first terminals 10 is referred to as a first user for description. Further, hereinafter, for convenience of description, a user operating each of the one or more second terminals 20 will be referred to as a second user for description.

The first user is an example of the aforementioned agent. That is, the first user is a person who performs the charging agent. The first user is previously registered (stored) in the management device 40 as a proxy.

The second user is an example of the above-mentioned orderer. That is, the second user is a person who requests the charging agent. The second user may be a person who is previously registered (stored) in the management device 40 as an orderer, or may be a person who is not previously registered in the management device 40 as an orderer. Hereinafter, as an example, a case where the second user is a person who is registered in the management device 40 in advance as an orderer will be described.

FIG. 1 shows a first terminal 10 operated by a first user H1 among the one or more first terminals 10. The first user H1 is one of the one or more first users. Further, FIG. 1 shows the second terminal 20 operated by the second user H2 among the one or more second terminals 20. The second user H2 is one of the one or more second users. Further, FIG. 1 shows the information processing device 30 included in the charging facility CS among the one or more information processing devices 30.

The charging facility CS is one of a plurality of facilities capable of charging an electric vehicle. In other words, the charging facility CS is a facility that provides charging facilities for electric vehicles. In the example shown in FIG. 1, the charging facility CS includes n charging facilities CH1 to CHn. Here, n may be any number as long as it is an integer of 1 or more. Each of the charging equipment CH1 to the charging equipment CHn is equipment for charging the electric vehicle. Hereinafter, for convenience of description, each of the charging equipment CH1 to the charging equipment CHn will be collectively referred to as a charging equipment CH, unless it is necessary to distinguish them from each other. When a battery of an electric vehicle is connected to the charging facility CH, the battery is charged by the charging facility CH.

Each of the charging facilities CH has a parking area in which the electric vehicle connected thereto is parked during charging. For example, when an electric vehicle is connected to the charging facility CH1 to charge the electric vehicle, the electric vehicle is parked in the parking area of the charging facility CH1.

Each charging facility CH outputs the charging status information indicating the charging status of the connected electric vehicle to the information processing device 30 while the electric vehicle is connected. Hereinafter, as an example, a case where the charging status of the electric vehicle is represented by either that the battery of the electric vehicle is being charged or that the battery of the electric vehicle is completely charged will be described. .. The charging status of the electric vehicle depends on the charging amount of the battery, such as the charging amount and the time required to complete the charging of the battery when the charging amount of the battery can be detected by the charging facility CH. The configuration may be represented by the amount of charge, or may be represented by the information indicating that the electric vehicle is connected to the charging facility CH. Further, each charging facility CH outputs null information to the information processing device 30 as charging status information while the electric vehicle is not connected. In this case, each charging facility CH may be configured not to output the charging status information to the information processing device 30.

In addition, in the example illustrated in FIG. 1, each charging facility CH includes a detection unit S. Here, for convenience of description, the detection unit S included in the charging facility CH1 is referred to as a detection unit S1, and the detection unit S will be described by taking the detection unit S1 as an example.

The detection unit S1 is a detection device that detects each of vehicle identification information indicating an electric vehicle connected to the charging facility CH1 and parking state information indicating a parking state of the electric vehicle in a parking area of the charging facility CH1. .. The detection unit S1 outputs the detected vehicle identification information to the information processing device 30. Further, the detection unit S1 outputs the detected parking state information to the information processing device 30. In the present embodiment, the detection unit S1 detects each of the vehicle identification information and the parking state information in this way, but instead detects the vehicle identification information and does not detect the parking state information. It may be configured. In this case, the charging facility CH includes a detection unit that is different from the detection unit S1 and that detects the parking state information.

Here, the vehicle identification information indicating a certain electric vehicle is, for example, a vehicle registration number written on the license plate of the electric vehicle, but instead of this, the electric vehicle such as the vehicle identification number of the electric vehicle is displayed. It may be other information that can be uniquely shown.
The parking state information of a certain electric vehicle is information indicating whether or not the electric vehicle is parked in the parking area of the charging facility CH to which the electric vehicle is connected.

The detection unit S1 is, for example, a detection device including an imaging unit that images a license plate of an electric vehicle connected to the charging facility CH1. In this case, the detection unit S1 detects the vehicle registration number described on the license plate by pattern matching or the like based on the captured image captured by the imaging unit. Then, the detection unit S1 outputs information indicating the detected vehicle registration number to the information processing device 30 as vehicle identification information indicating the electric vehicle. Further, the detection unit S1 outputs the captured image captured by the image capturing unit to the information processing device 30 as parking state information of the electric vehicle. Here, the imaging unit is, for example, a camera.
Note that the image capturing unit may be a camera that captures a still image or a camera that captures a moving image. Hereinafter, as an example, a case where the image capturing unit is a camera that captures a still image will be described. When the electric vehicle is not connected to the charging facility CH1, the detection unit S1 outputs null information to the information processing device 30 as vehicle identification information indicating the electric vehicle connected to the charging facility CH1. Further, in this case, the detection unit S1 outputs null information to the information processing device 30 as the parking state information of the electric vehicle.

The detection unit S1 replaces such an imaging unit with electric vehicle position information indicating the position of the electric vehicle connected to the charging facility CH1, the identification ID of the charging facility CH to which the electric vehicle is connected, and the like. It may be a detection device that detects other information that can indicate an automobile.

The first terminal 10 is, for example, a multifunctional mobile phone terminal (smartphone). The first terminal 10 may be a mobile phone terminal, a tablet PC (Personal PC), instead of the multifunctional mobile phone terminal.

For example, a dedicated application program is installed in the first terminal 10. In this case, the function of the first terminal 10 described below is realized by the application program. The function may be realized by accessing a predetermined website by a browser instead of the structure realized by the application program.

Here, the configuration of the first terminal 10 will be described by taking the first terminal 10 operated by the first user H1 as an example. The first terminal 10 operated by the first user H1 receives the proxy acceptance information from the first user H1. The proxy acceptance acceptance/rejection information is information indicating whether or not the first user H1 is in a state capable of accepting the charge proxy. The first terminal 10 generates first information including the accepted proxy acceptance information. The first terminal 10 outputs the generated first information to the management device 40. Details of the first information will be described later.

The function may be realized by accessing a predetermined website by a browser instead of the structure realized by the application program.

Here, the configuration of the second terminal 20 will be described by taking the second terminal 20 operated by the second user H2 as an example. The second terminal 20 operated by the second user H2 receives, from the second user H2, an operation of causing one of the plurality of substitutes to charge the first electric vehicle C1 shown in FIG. The second terminal 20 generates the second information according to the received operation. The second terminal 20 outputs the generated second information to the management device 40. Details of the second information will be described later. Here, the first electric vehicle C1 is an example of an electric vehicle desired by the second user H2 to be charged. The first electric vehicle C1 is, for example, an electric vehicle owned by the second user H2, but may be an electric vehicle not owned by the second user H2.

The information processing device 30 is, for example, a workstation, a desktop PC, a notebook PC, a tablet PC, or the like. The information processing device 30 may be another information processing device instead of these information processing devices.

Here, the configuration of the information processing device 30 will be described by taking the information processing device 30 included in the charging facility CS as an example. The information processing device 30 included in the charging facility CS generates the third information based on the charging status information acquired from each charging facility CH and the vehicle identification information acquired from each detection unit S. The information processing device 30 outputs the generated third information to the management device 40. The third information is information including charging facility availability information indicating the availability of the charging facility CH in the charging facility CS. The third information will be described later. In the information processing device 30, for example, the information acquired from each charging facility CH is the information acquired from any charging facility CH by the port to which the cable connecting to each charging facility CH is connected. The information acquired from each charging equipment CH by another method such as a method of using the identification ID for identifying the detection unit S or the charging equipment CH may be used to identify which charging equipment CH. It may be configured to identify whether the information is acquired from the. Further, in the information processing device 30, for example, the information acquired from each detection unit S is the information acquired from any detection unit S by the port to which the cable connecting with each detection unit S is connected. The information acquired from each detection unit S by another method such as a method of using the identification ID for identifying the detection unit S or the charging facility CH may be used to identify which detection unit S. It may be configured to identify whether the information is acquired from the.

In the following, in order to simplify the description, the case where the charging facility is only the charging facility CS will be described. That is, in the following, as an example, a case where the management system 1 includes only one information processing device 30 will be described.

The management device 40 is, for example, an information processing device such as a workstation, a desktop PC, a notebook PC, or a tablet PC. The management device 40 may be another information processing device instead of these information processing devices.

The management device 40 acquires the first information from the first terminal 10.
The management device 40 acquires the second information from the second terminal 20.
The management device 40 acquires the third information from the information processing device 30.

<Process in which the first terminal outputs the first information>
Hereinafter, the process in which the first terminal 10 outputs the first information will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of the flow of processing in which the first terminal 10 outputs the first information.

Hereinafter, the process in which the first terminal 10 outputs the first information will be described by taking the process performed by the target first terminal that is one of the one or more first terminals 10 as an example. Further, hereinafter, for convenience of description, the first user who operates the target first terminal will be referred to as a target first user. The target first user is an example of a first agent.

In the following, as an example, the first operation image generated by the display control unit 161 of the target first terminal is the target first terminal at a timing before the process of step S110 illustrated in FIG. 3 is executed. The case of being displayed on the display unit 14 will be described. The first operation image is an image including a GUI (Graphical User Interface) through which the target first user inputs various information to the target first terminal. For example, the display control unit 161 generates the first operation image when, for example, a dedicated application program installed in the target first terminal is executed. Then, the display control unit 161 causes the display unit 14 to display the generated first operation image.

The operation reception unit 162 waits until the proxy acceptance acceptance/rejection information is received via the first operation image (step S110).

When the operation accepting unit 162 accepts the proxy acceptance acceptance/rejection information via the first operation image (step S110-YES), the process control unit 163 reads out the agent information previously stored in the storage unit 11 from the storage unit 11. (Step S120).

Here, the proxy information about a certain first user is information including proxy identification information (for example, identification ID) indicating the first user.

In the present embodiment, the proxy information for a certain first user includes, in addition to the proxy identification information indicating the first user, the name, sex, address, and contact information (phone number, mail address) of the first user. Etc.), other information such as first terminal identification information for identifying the first terminal 10 operated by the first user, information indicating an authentication password, and the like. The proxy information for the first user may not include some or all of the other information.

The agent information about a certain first user is, for example, the first information displayed on the first terminal 10 operated by the first user when the first user registers himself/herself as the agent in the management device 40. It is previously input to the first terminal 10 by the first user via the operation image. The process control unit 163 outputs the input agent information to the management device 40 and registers (stores) it in the management device 40.

In this example, the first user who operates the target first terminal is the target first user. Therefore, the proxy information read by the process control unit 163 in step S120 is the proxy information for the target first user. The agent identification information indicating the target first user is an example of first agent identification information.

After the processing of step S120 is performed, the processing control unit 163 uses the position information indicating the current position of the target first terminal detected by the position detection unit 15 as the position information indicating the current position of the target first user. It is acquired from the detection unit 15 (step S130). The position information is an example of first position information.

Next, the processing control unit 163 generates movement status information indicating whether or not the target first user is moving (step S140). Specifically, the process control unit 163 determines whether the target first user is moving. For example, when the operation reception unit 162 has previously received information indicating that the target first user is moving via the first operation image, the processing control unit 163 indicates that the target first user is moving. judge. On the other hand, when the operation reception unit 162 has previously received information indicating that the target first user has not moved via the first operation image, the processing control unit 163 determines that the target first user has not moved. judge. The processing control unit 163 generates movement status information according to the determined result. That is, when the processing control unit 163 determines that the target first user is moving, the processing control unit 163 generates movement status information indicating that the target first user is moving. Further, when the processing control unit 163 determines that the target first user has not moved, the processing control unit 163 generates movement status information indicating that the target first user has not moved.

Note that the process control unit 163 does not have to be configured to determine whether or not the target first user is moving based on the information received by the operation receiving unit 162 via the first operation image, and instead of the current time, the process control unit 163 can be used. The configuration may be such that the determination is performed based on the change in the position of the target first terminal detected by the position detection unit 15 within the period up to the time back in time. Further, the processing control unit 163 may be configured to make the determination by another method.

Next, the processing control unit 163 generates destination information indicating the destination of the target first user when the target first user is moving (step S150). Specifically, for example, when the operation reception unit 162 has previously received an operation indicating the destination of the target first user via the first operation image, the processing control unit 163 indicates the destination indicated by the operation. Generate destination information. In addition, for example, when the operation reception unit 162 has not previously received an operation indicating the destination, the processing control unit 163 generates null information as the destination information.

Note that the processing control unit 163 may be configured to generate destination information based on the operation received by the operation receiving unit 162 via the first operation image, instead of, for example, a movement route along which the target first terminal has moved in the past. And a change in the position of the target first terminal detected by the position detection unit 15 within a period from the current time to a time that is a predetermined time backward, and the destination indicating the estimated destination is estimated. It may be configured to generate information. The processing control unit 163 may be configured to generate the destination information by another method.

Next, the processing control unit 163, the proxy acceptance acceptance/rejection information received in step S110, the proxy information read in step S120, the position information acquired in step S130, the movement status information generated in step S140, and the step First information including the destination information generated in S150 is generated (step S160).

Next, the process control unit 163 outputs the first information generated in step S160 to the management device 40 (step S170), and ends the process.

By such processing, for example, the target first user causes the target first user to take charge of the charging proxy at a predetermined timing such as the timing of starting the charging proxy or the timing of completing the charging proxy. It is possible to make the management device 40 specify whether or not the state is possible. Further, according to the processing, at the timing, the target first terminal manages whether the target first user is moving and the destination of the target first user when the target first user is moving. 40 can be specified.

<Process in which the second terminal outputs the second information>
Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 4, a process in which the second terminal 20 outputs the second information will be described. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the flow of processing in which the second terminal 20 outputs the second information.

Hereinafter, the process in which the second terminal 20 outputs the second information will be described by taking the process performed by the target second terminal, which is one of the one or more second terminals 20, as an example. Further, hereinafter, for convenience of description, a person who operates the target second terminal will be described as a target second user. The target second user is an example of an orderer.

In the following, as an example, the second operation image generated by the display control unit 261 of the target second terminal is the target second terminal at a timing before the process of step S210 illustrated in FIG. 4 is executed. The case where it is displayed on the display unit 24 will be described. The second operation image is an image including a GUI for the target second user to input various information to the target second terminal. For example, the display control unit 261 generates the second operation image when the dedicated application program installed in the target second terminal is executed. Then, the display control unit 261 causes the display unit 24 to display the generated second operation image.

In the present embodiment, in the second operation image, the GUI for inputting the delivery time information indicating the time for delivering the electric vehicle desired by the target second user to the agent (ie, the first user) and the target first user 2 The GUI for inputting the delivery position information indicating the position where the user delivers the electric vehicle to the agent, the GUI for entering the return position information indicating the position of the return destination of the electric vehicle, and the target second user A GUI for inputting option information indicating desired options is included.

Here, in the present embodiment, the target second user on the second operation image can input, as the option information, option information indicating either the first option or the second option.

The first option is an option that causes the first user who has collected the electric vehicle to return the electric vehicle immediately after the desired electric vehicle that the target second user wants to charge is completely charged. In other words, the first option is an option that allows the same agent to perform from the collection of the electric vehicle to the return of the electric vehicle. When having the same agent carry out the collection of the electric vehicle and the return of the electric vehicle, the representative does not know when charging will be completed between the time the electric vehicle is charged and the time it is charged. Therefore, you cannot leave the electric vehicle. That is, in this case, the detention time of the proxy becomes long. However, in this case, the probability of theft, mischief, accident, etc. occurring while the electric vehicle is being charged is lower than that in the case where the agent is away from the electric vehicle.

The second option is an option that does not specify the time for returning the electric vehicle after the desired electric vehicle to be charged by the target second user is completely charged. In other words, the second option is to return the electric vehicle among the plurality of first users at a timing different from the timing immediately after the charging of the electric vehicle is completed in the timing after the charging of the electric vehicle is completed. It is an option that you want either to do. In other words, the second option is an option for the same agent or a different agent to take over the electric vehicle, connect the electric vehicle to the charging facility CH, and return the electric vehicle. is there. When the same agent or a different agent takes over the electric vehicle, connects the electric vehicle to the charging facility CH, and returns the electric vehicle, the agent who took over the electric vehicle is , It is possible to perform other work from the beginning of charging the electric vehicle to the end of charging, and therefore, the electric vehicle is separated from the electric vehicle. That is, in this case, the detention time of the agent is shortened. However, in this case, the probability of theft, mischief, accident, etc. during charging of the electric vehicle is higher than in the case where the agent does not leave the electric vehicle.

Note that the target second user can input option information indicating another third option on the second operation image, instead of the option information indicating the first option and the option information indicating the second option. May be The third option is, for example, to allow the same second agent to take over the desired electric vehicle to be charged by the target second user and return the electric vehicle, but during the charging period of the electric vehicle, another agent does not act. It is an option or the like that allows a person to watch over the electric vehicle (may be watched).

The operation reception unit 262 waits until it receives a proxy request operation for charging the desired electric vehicle to be charged by the target second user (step S210). In the present embodiment, the proxy request operation in the second operation image is an operation that can be performed after each of the delivery time information, the delivery position information, the return position information, and the option information is input to the second operation image.

When the operation receiving unit 262 receives the proxy request operation (step S210-YES), the process control unit 263 receives each of the delivery time information, the delivery position information, the return position information, and the option information input in the second operation image. It is acquired (step S220).

Next, the processing control unit 263 reads out the orderer information stored in advance in the storage unit 21 from the storage unit 21 (step S230).

Here, the orderer information regarding a certain second user is information including orderer identification information (for example, identification ID) indicating the second user.

In the present embodiment, in the orderer information about a certain second user, in addition to the orderer identification information indicating the second user, the name, sex, address, contact information (phone number, mail address) of the second user. Etc.), other information such as second terminal identification information for identifying the second terminal 20 operated by the second user, information indicating an authentication password, and the like. The orderer information regarding the second user may not include some or all of these other information.

The orderer information regarding a certain second user is, for example, the second order displayed on the second terminal 20 operated by the second user when the second user registers itself in the management device 40 as the orderer. It is previously input to the second terminal 20 by the second user via the operation image. The processing control unit 263 outputs the input orderer information to the management device 40 and registers (stores) it in the management device 40.

In this example, the second user who operates the target second terminal is the target second user. Therefore, the orderer information read by the process control unit 263 in step S230 is the orderer information about the target second user.

After the process of step S230 is performed, the process control unit 263 includes each of the delivery time information, the delivery position information, the return position information, and the option information acquired in step S220, and the orderer information read in step S230. Second information is generated (step S240). The second information may not include the orderer information.

Next, the process control unit 263 outputs the second information generated in step S240 to the management device 40 (step S250), and ends the process.

By such processing, for example, the target second user causes the target second terminal to request the management device 40 to request charging of the electric vehicle desired by the target second user at the timing desired by the target second user. Can be done by

After outputting the second information to the management device 40 in this way, the target second terminal performs the agent selection process. The proxy selection process causes at least the pick-up and connection of the desired electric vehicle that the target second user wants to charge and connection of the electric vehicle to the charging facility CH and return of the electric vehicle. This is a process of selecting a first user desired by the target second user as a substitute from a plurality of first users. Therefore, in the following, with reference to FIG. 5, the proxy selection process performed by the target second terminal will be described. In the following, for convenience of explanation, the operation of collecting the desired electric vehicle to be charged by the target second user and connecting the electric vehicle to the charging facility CH of the electric vehicle is referred to as the first operation, and the electric vehicle is returned. The work will be described as a second work.

<Representative selection process performed by the second terminal>
FIG. 5: is a figure which shows an example of the flow of the proxy selection process which the target 2nd terminal performs.

In the following, as an example, a case will be described in which the second information is output to the management device 40 by the target second terminal at the timing immediately before the process of step S260 illustrated in FIG. 5 is executed.

The process control unit 263 waits until the target second terminal acquires the list information from the management device 40 as a response to the output of the second information to the management device 40 by the target second terminal (step S260).

Here, among the plurality of first users, the list information is desired to be charged by the target second user by the time indicated by the delivery time information included in the second information output by the target second terminal to the management device 40. It is information indicating a list of first users (that is, a list of agents) who can take over an electric vehicle. In the present embodiment, the list information includes agent identification information indicating each of one or more first users included in the list. Note that the list information may not include the agent identification information indicating each of the one or more first users. In this case, in step S260, the process control unit 263 waits until the information including the list information and the agent identification information indicating each of the one or more first users is acquired.

When the target second terminal acquires the list information from the management device 40 (step S260-YES), the display control unit 261 causes the display unit 24 to display the list information acquired by the target second terminal (step S270). Thereby, the target second terminal can cause the target second user to select the first user as the agent desired by the target second user from the one or more first users included in the list information.

Next, the operation reception unit 262 performs an operation of selecting the first user as a substitute desired by the target second user from the one or more first users included in the list information displayed on the display unit 24. It waits until it is received (step S280). More specifically, in step S280, the operation accepting unit 262 determines that the option information input to the second operation image of the target second terminal in step S220 shown in FIG. 4 is the option information indicating the first option. In the case, the operation waits until any one of the eleventh operation and the twelfth operation is accepted. The eleventh operation is an operation in which the target second user selects the first user who performs both the first work and the second work from the one or more first users. The twelfth operation is an operation of causing the target second terminal to select the first user who performs both the first work and the second work from the one or more first users (for example, the earliest take-back can be performed. The operation of selecting the first user, the operation of randomly selecting the first user, etc.). Note that the twelfth operation is an operation for causing the management device 40 to select the first user who performs both the first work and the second work from the one or more first users (for example, the earliest pick-up can be performed. The operation of selecting the first user, the operation of randomly selecting the first user, and the like) may be performed. Further, when the option information input to the second operation image of the target second terminal in step S220 shown in FIG. 4 is the option information indicating the second option, of the 21st operation and the 22nd operation. Wait until any operation is accepted. The 21st operation is an operation in which the target second user selects the first user who performs the first work from the one or more first users. The 22nd operation is an operation for causing the target second terminal to select the first user who performs the first work from the one or more first users (for example, to select the first user who can take over the earliest). Operation, an operation of randomly selecting the first user, etc.). The 22nd operation is an operation for causing the management device 40 to select the first user who performs the first work from the one or more first users (for example, selecting the first user who can perform the earliest collection). Operation, an operation of randomly selecting the first user, and the like). Hereinafter, for convenience of description, the first user who performs the first work is referred to as a take-back agent, and the first user who performs the second work is referred to as a return agent. Even in this case, as described above, the take-back agent and the return agent may be the same person (that is, the same first user). The return agent is an example of the second agent.

The process control unit 263 selects an operation for selecting the first user, who is a substitute desired by the target second user, from one or more first users included in the list information displayed on the display unit 24. When 262 receives (step S280-YES), the 1st user selected by the said operation is specified as a substitute who the target 2nd user desires. Then, the processing control unit 263 extracts the agent identification information indicating the first user from the one or more agent identification information included in the list information. The process control unit 263 outputs the extracted agent identification information to the management device 40 (step S290). After the process of step S290 is performed, the process control unit 263 ends the agent specifying process.

The processing control unit 263 may be configured not to perform such proxy selection processing. In this case, the management device 40 automatically determines the first user according to the option information input in the second operation image of the target second terminal in step S220 shown in FIG.

Through such a process, the target second terminal can select the first user who charges the desired electric vehicle that the target second user wants to charge, and causes the management device 40 to specify the selected first user. be able to. In addition, the target second terminal can display the list information in this way to assist the target second user in selecting the agent.

<Process in which information processing device outputs third information>
Hereinafter, a process in which the information processing device 30 outputs the third information will be described with reference to FIG. 6.
FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of the flow of processing in which the information processing device 30 outputs the third information.

For example, when the information processing device 30 receives an operation to start the process of outputting the third information to the management device 40, the information processing device 30 repeatedly performs the process of the flowchart illustrated in FIG. 6 every time a predetermined period has elapsed.

The information processing device 30 selects one or more charging facilities CH included in the charging facility CS as the target charging facilities CH one by one, and performs the processes of steps S320 to S350 on the selected charging facilities CH (step S310).

The process control unit 363 acquires the vehicle identification information detected by the detection unit S included in the target charging facility CH selected in step S310 from the detection unit S (step S320).

Next, the process control unit 363 acquires the charging status information detected by the target charging facility CH selected in step S310 from the target charging facility CH (step S330).

Note that the processes of steps S320 and S330 may be executed in reverse order, or may be executed in parallel.

Next, the process control unit 363 generates charging equipment availability status information indicating the availability status of the target charging equipment CH based on the charging status information acquired in step S330 (step S340). Specifically, when the charging status information is null information, the process control unit 363 generates charging equipment vacancy status information indicating that the target charging equipment CH is vacant. On the other hand, when the charging status information is not null information, the process control unit 363 generates charging equipment availability status information indicating that the target charging equipment CH is not available. Note that the processing control unit 363 may be configured to generate the charging facility availability information based on the parking state information acquired from the detection unit S included in the target charging facility CH, and the charging facility availability state by another method. It may be configured to generate information.

Next, the process control unit 363, the vehicle identification information acquired in step S320, the charging status information acquired in step S330, the charging equipment availability status information generated in step S340, and the charging indicating the target charging equipment CH. The third information including the equipment identification information is generated (step S350). The third information may include other information in addition to the vehicle identification information, the charging status information, and the charging facility identification information. Further, the third information may not include some or all of the vehicle identification information, the charging status information, and the charging facility identification information.

Next, the process control unit 363 outputs the third information generated in step S350 to the management device 40 (step S360). After the process of step S360 is performed, the process control unit 363 proceeds to step S310 and selects the next target charging facility CH. Here, if there is no unselected charging facility CH that can be selected as the target charging facility CH in step S310, the process control unit 363 ends the process after performing the process of step S360.

Through such processing, the information processing device 30 can cause the management device 40 to sequentially identify the status of the charging facility CS each time a predetermined period elapses.

<Processing in which the management device manages the charging agent>
Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 7, a process in which the management device 40 manages the charging proxy will be described. FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of a flow of processing in which the management device 40 manages the charging proxy. Hereinafter, as an example, a case will be described in which the management device 40 receives the first information from each of the one or more first terminals 10 at a timing before the processing of step S410 illustrated in FIG. 7 is performed. .. In addition, below, as an example, a case where the management device 40 receives the third information about each charging facility CH from the information processing device 30 at the timing will be described.

The management control unit 465 waits until the second information is acquired from any of the one or more second terminals 20 (step S410). Here, a case where the management device 40 acquires the second information from the target second terminal described above will be described below as an example.

When acquiring the second information from the target second terminal (step S410-YES), the management control unit 465 performs the authentication process based on the orderer information included in the acquired second information (step S420).

In the authentication process, the management control unit 465, for example, the orderer information that matches the orderer information included in the second information acquired in step S410 among the one or more orderer information stored in advance in the storage unit 41. It is determined whether or not is included. The one or more orderer information is one or more orderer information registered in advance in the management device 40. The management control unit 465 determines that the one or more orderer information stored in advance in the storage unit 41 includes the orderer information that matches the orderer information included in the second information acquired in step S410. When it is determined, it is determined that the authentication is successful. On the other hand, the management control unit 465 includes the orderer information that matches the orderer information included in the second information acquired in step S410, among the one or more orderer information stored in advance in the storage unit 41. If it is determined that there is no authentication, it is determined that the authentication has failed.

Next, the management control unit 465 determines whether or not the authentication by the authentication process of step S420 has succeeded (step S430).

When the management control unit 465 determines that the authentication by the authentication process of step S420 has failed (step S430-NO), the management control unit 465 outputs information indicating that the authentication has failed to the target second terminal. Then, the management control unit 465 transitions to step S410, and waits again until the second information is acquired from any one of the one or more second terminals 20.

On the other hand, when the management control unit 465 determines that the authentication by the authentication process of step S420 is successful (step S430-YES), the charging facility included in the third information about each charging facility CH acquired from the information processing device 30. Based on the availability information, it is determined whether or not the charging facility CH is available (step S440). Here, when the charging facility CH to which the electric vehicle is not connected is present at the current time, the management control unit 465 determines that the charging facility CH is vacant. On the other hand, when the charging facility CH to which the electric vehicle is not connected does not exist at the current time, the management control unit 465 determines that the charging facility CH is not available.

When the management control unit 465 determines that the charging facility CH is not vacant (step S440-NO), it outputs charging proxy disapproval information indicating that charging proxy cannot be performed at the current time to the target second terminal (step S530). .. At this time, the management control unit 465 may be configured to estimate the time at which the charging proxy is possible and output the charging proxy impossible information to the target second terminal together with the information indicating the estimated time. It may be configured to accept the reservation of the charging proxy by the time and the processes of steps S450 to S520. After the processing of step S530 is performed, the management control unit 465 transitions to step S410 and waits again until the second information is acquired from any one of the one or more second terminals 20.

On the other hand, when the management control unit 465 determines that the charging facility CH is vacant (step S440-YES), the management control unit 465 performs the process of step S450 for each of the one or more agent information stored in advance in the storage unit 41. Repeatedly (step S450). The one or more agent information is one or more agent information registered in advance in the management device 40.

The management control unit 465 determines whether or not the first user indicated by the proxy identification information included in the proxy information selected in step S450 is in a state in which it can accept the charging proxy (step S460). .. Hereinafter, for convenience of description, the first user will be referred to as a target agent.

In step S460, the management control unit 465 extracts, from the first information acquired in advance, the first information acquired immediately before from the first terminal 10 operated by the target agent. The management control unit 465 determines whether or not the target proxy can accept the charging proxy based on the proxy acceptability information included in the extracted first information.

When the management control unit 465 determines that the target proxy is not in a state in which the charge proxy can be undertaken (step S460-NO), the process proceeds to step S450, and the next proxy information is selected. On the other hand, when the management control unit 465 determines that the target agent is ready to accept the charging agent (step S460-YES), the management controller 465 estimates the allowable time for the target agent to take over (step S470). Here, the pick-up time is the time during which the target agent can pick up the electric vehicle indicated by the vehicle identification information included in the second information acquired in step S410.

In step S470, the management control unit 465 determines whether the target agent is moving based on the movement status information included in the first information extracted in step S460. When the management control unit 465 determines that the target agent is moving, the management control unit 465 sets the position information and the destination information included in the first information and the delivery position information included in the second information acquired in step S410. Based on this, the time at which the target agent arrives at the position indicated by the delivery position information from the current position indicated by the position information via the destination indicated by the destination information is estimated. Note that the management control unit 465 may be configured to add the time spent by the target agent at the destination in such estimation, or may not be configured to add the time spent by the target agent at the destination. Good. On the other hand, when the management control unit 465 determines that the target agent has not moved, based on the position information included in the first information and the delivery position information included in the second information acquired in step S410. Estimating the time when the target agent arrives at the position indicated by the delivery position information from the current position indicated by the position information. The method by which the management control unit 465 estimates the time in this way may be a known method or a method to be developed in the future.

After the processing of step S470 is performed, the management control unit 465 sets the time estimated in step S470 as the possible take-over time of the target agent (step S480). Then, the management control unit 465 transitions to step S450 and selects the next agent information. When there is no unselected agent information that can be selected as the next agent information at the time of transition to step S450, the management control unit 465 proceeds to step S490.

After the repeated processing of steps S450 to S480 is performed, the management control unit 465 generates list information (step S490).

Specifically, the management control unit 465 is capable of taking over the electric vehicle based on the proxy information for each of the one or more first users for which the takeover possible time is set in the repeating process. The list of users is generated as a list of agents who can pick up the electric vehicle. In addition, the management control unit 465 generates a list in which each of the one or more first users for whom the takeover time is set in the iterative process is arranged in the order in which the time set as the takeover time is closest to the current time. To do. Further, the management control unit 465 determines whether the electric vehicle of the one or more first users whose takeover time is set in the iterative process is the time indicated by the delivery time information included in the second information acquired in step S410. Exclude the first user who cannot take over from the list.

Next, the management control unit 465 outputs the list information generated in step S490 to the target second terminal (step S500). Accordingly, the target second terminal can display the list information acquired from the management device 40 on the display unit 24.

Next, the management control unit 465 waits until the proxy identification information is acquired from the target second terminal (step S510). The agent identification information is the agent identification information output from the target second terminal in step S290 shown in FIG.

When the proxy identification information is acquired from the target second terminal (step S510-YES), the management control unit 465 performs proxy request processing (step S520).

In the proxy request process, the management control unit 465 reads out the proxy information about the first user indicated by the proxy identification information acquired in step S510 from the storage unit 41. Then, the management control unit 465, with respect to the first terminal 10 indicated by the first terminal identification information included in the read proxy information, of the electric vehicle indicated by the vehicle identification information included in the second information acquired in step S410. The second information is output together with the information requesting the charging proxy. As a result, the first terminal 10 displays the information and the second information on the display unit 14 and informs the first user who operates the first terminal 10 that the proxy has been requested. It is possible to inform whether the option indicated by the option information included in the second information is the first option or the second option. When the option is the first option, the first user performs both the first work and the second work, and the electric vehicle until the second work is completed after the first work is started. Don't get off. On the other hand, when the option is the second option, the first user performs only the first work.

After the processing of step S520 is performed, the management control unit 465 ends the processing of the flowchart illustrated in FIG. 7.

Through such processing, the management device 40 can accept the request for the charging agent for the electric vehicle and allow the first user to perform the charging agent according to the received request. As a result, the management device 40 can provide the service of charging the electric vehicle on behalf.

Here, the management device 40 performs the settlement process after the process of the flowchart shown in FIG. 7 is performed. The settlement process is a process that includes a process of paying the charge for the charging agent to each of the take-back agent who performed the first work and the return agent who performed the second work. Further, the settlement process is a process including a process of charging the charge of the charging agent to the orderer.

<Settlement process performed by management device>
Hereinafter, the settlement process performed by the management device 40 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of the flow of the settlement process performed by the management device 40. Hereinafter, as an example, a case will be described in which the process of the flowchart illustrated in FIG. 7 is performed at a timing before the process of step S610 illustrated in FIG. 8 is performed.

The management control unit 465 waits until the completion information is acquired from any of the one or more first terminals 10 (step S610). Hereinafter, as an example, a case where the management control unit 465 acquires the completion information from the above-described target first terminal will be described.

The completion information is information including information indicating that one or both of the first work and the second work are completed. Further, in the completion information, the agent identification information indicating the first user who is operating the first terminal 10 that is the output source of the completion information acquired in step S610, and the first user took back or returned. The vehicle identification information indicating the electric vehicle is included. The first terminal 10 outputs completion information to the management device 40, for example, in response to an operation received from the first user via the above-described first operation image. The first terminal 10 may be configured to output the completion information to the management device 40 by another method.

Management control part 465 performs specific processing, when completion information is acquired (Step S610-YES) (Step S620).

In the identification process, the management control unit 465 identifies which of the first work, the second work, and both the first work and the second work has been completed based on the acquired completion information. To do. In addition, the management control unit 465 identifies the target first user operating the target first terminal based on the agent identification information included in the acquired completion information.

Next, the settlement control unit 466 performs a settlement process (step S630).

In the settlement process, the settlement control unit 466 calculates a consideration according to the first work when the work specified in step S620 is the first work. The amount of consideration corresponding to the first work may be an amount obtained by multiplying the time from the request for the first work until the completion information is acquired by the unit price associated with the first work. , May be the amount of money associated with the first work, or may be the amount of money calculated by another method. Further, when the work specified in step S620 is the second work, the settlement control unit 466 calculates the consideration according to the second work. The amount of consideration corresponding to the second work is an amount obtained by multiplying the time from the processing of step S660 described later until the completion information is acquired by the unit price associated with the second work. Alternatively, the amount may be the amount of money associated with the second work, or may be the amount of money calculated by another method. In addition, when the work specified in step S620 is both the first work and the second work, the settlement control unit 466 calculates the total sum of consideration corresponding to each of the first work and the second work.

Here, when the settlement control unit 466 performs both the first work on a certain electric vehicle and the second work on the electric vehicle by one first user based on the above-described first option, for example. , The consideration paid to the first user is the consideration paid to the first user who performed only the first work, and the consideration paid to the first user who performed only the second work. Calculated as consideration for the amount of money higher than the sum of. This is because when the first option is selected, the action of one first user is restricted until the charging of the electric vehicle is completed, including during charging.

In addition, for example, when the first user different from each other performs the first work on the electric vehicle and the second work on the electric vehicle based on the second option, The consideration paid to the first user who performed the first work is calculated as a consideration higher than the consideration paid to the first user who performed the second work. This is because when the second option is selected, the delivery time is specified for picking up the electric vehicle in the first work, whereas the return time is specified for returning the electric vehicle in the second work. This is because it has not been done.

The settlement control unit 466, for example, the first user operating the first terminal 10 (the target first terminal in this example), which is the output source of the completion information acquired in step S610, with the consideration calculated in this way. (In this example, the processing is to transfer money to the account of the target first user). The information indicating the account is stored in advance in the storage unit 41 in association with the agent identification information indicating the first user. The settlement control unit 466 may be configured to pay the consideration to the first user by another method.

In addition, when the work specified in step S620 is the second work, the settlement control unit 466 sets a charging agency charge to be charged to the orderer who has ordered the charging agency for the electric vehicle that is the target of the work. calculate. In addition, when the work specified in step S620 is both the first work and the second work, the settlement control unit 466 requests the orderer who has ordered the charging agent of the electric vehicle that was the target of the work. Calculate the charge for charging. When performing these calculations, the settlement control unit 466 calculates an electricity usage fee according to the amount of electricity charged from the charging facility CH to the electric vehicle together with the fee. In addition, the settlement control unit 466 identifies the orderer information regarding the orderer from the orderer information stored in the storage unit 41 based on the history of the proxy request processing described above. The settlement control unit 466 deducts the fee and the electricity usage fee from the account of the second user indicated by the orderer identification information included in the specified orderer information. The information indicating the account is stored in advance in the storage unit 41 in association with the agent identification information indicating the second user. The settlement control unit 466 may be configured to charge the second user for the fee and the electricity usage fee by another method.

After the process of step S630 is performed, the management control unit 465 determines whether it is necessary to take over the charging proxy (step S640). For example, when the work specified in step S620 is the first work, the management control unit 465 determines that it is necessary to take over the charging proxy. On the other hand, when the work specified in step S620 is the second work, or when the work is both the first work and the second work, the management control unit 465 does not need to take over the charging proxy. To determine.

When the management control unit 465 determines that the transfer of the charging proxy is not necessary (step S640-NO), the process of the flowchart illustrated in FIG. 8 ends.

On the other hand, when the management control unit 465 determines that it is necessary to take over the charging surrogate (step S640-YES), the target first user takes over based on the charging status information acquired immediately from each charging facility CH. It waits until the charging of the electric vehicle indicated by the vehicle identification information included in the second information including the vehicle identification information about the performed electric vehicle is completed (step S650).

When the management control unit 465 determines that the charging of the electric vehicle indicated by the vehicle identification information included in the second information including the vehicle identification information regarding the electric vehicle that the target first user has collected has been completed (step S650- YES), the returnable time is set for each of the first users indicated by the proxy identification information included in each of the first information acquired from each first terminal 10 immediately before (step S660). Here, the returnable time is the time at which the target agent can return and collect the electric vehicle. That is, the returnable time is the time when the target agent can complete the return of the electric vehicle to the second user who has requested the charging agent of the electric vehicle. Hereinafter, for convenience of description, the second information will be described as target second information.

In step S660, the management control unit 465 performs the same process as the iterative process of steps S450 to S480 to indicate the first agent identification information included in each of the first information items acquired from each first terminal 10 immediately before. For each user, estimate the returnable time instead of the collectable time, and set the estimated returnable time. However, the first information used in this estimation process is the first information acquired from each first terminal 10 immediately before.
The second information used in the estimation process is the target second information. In addition, the management control unit 465 may estimate the time when charging of the electric vehicle indicated by the vehicle identification information included in the second information including the vehicle identification information about the electric vehicle that the target first user has picked up is completed. If possible, when performing the same processing as the repeating processing of steps S450 to S480, the returnable time based on the time may be estimated for each of the first users. Thereby, the management control unit 465 can estimate the returnable time when the return of the electric vehicle is started at the timing after the time. Note that the management control unit 465 may be configured to omit the process of step S650 when the time can be estimated in this way.

After the process of step S660 is performed, the management control unit 465 determines that the time set as the returnable time is the closest to the current time for each of the one or more first users whose returnable time is set in step S660. Generate a return list arranged in order. Then, the management control unit 465 generates return list information indicating the generated return list (step S670).

Next, the management control unit 465 outputs the return list information generated in step S670 to the second terminal 20 which is the output source of the target second information (step S680). Accordingly, the second terminal 20 can display the return list information acquired from the management device 40 on the display unit 24.

Next, the management control unit 465 waits until the proxy identification information is acquired from the second terminal 20 that is the output source of the target second information (step S690).

When the proxy identification information is acquired from the second terminal 20 that is the output source of the target second information (step S690-YES), a return request process is performed (step S700).

In the return request process, the management control unit 465 reads out the agency information about the first user indicated by the agency identification information acquired in step S690 from the storage unit 41. Then, the management control unit 465 requests the first terminal 10 indicated by the first terminal identification information included in the read proxy information to return the electric vehicle indicated by the vehicle identification information included in the target second information. The second information is output together with the information. Thereby, the first terminal 10 displays the information and the second information on the display unit 14 and informs the first user who operates the first terminal 10 that the return has been requested. You can

After the processing of step S700 is performed, the management control unit 465 ends the processing.

In this way, the management device 40 can allow the two first users to perform charging on behalf of one electric vehicle through the takeover. As a result, the management device 40 can allow the plurality of first users to efficiently perform the charging proxy.

Hereinafter, as an example, a case will be described in which the return list information is acquired from the management device 40 at the timing immediately before the process of step S710 illustrated in FIG. 9 is executed.

The display control unit 261 causes the display unit 24 to display the return list information acquired by the target second terminal (step S710). Thereby, the target second terminal can cause the target second user to select the first user as the return agent desired by the target second user from the first users included in the return list information.

Next, the operation reception unit 262 selects the first user as the return agent desired by the target second user from the one or more first users included in the return list information displayed on the display unit 24. It waits until an operation is accepted (step S720). More specifically, in step S720, operation accepting unit 262 waits until it accepts one of the 31st operation and the 32nd operation. The 31st operation is an operation in which the target second user selects the first user who performs the second work from the one or more first users. The thirty-second operation is an operation of selecting the first user who performs the second work from the one or more first users to the target second terminal (for example, selecting the first user who can return the earliest). Operation, an operation of randomly selecting the first user, etc.). The 32nd operation is an operation for causing the management device 40 to select the first user who performs the second work from the one or more first users (for example, selecting the first user who can return the earliest). Operation, an operation of randomly selecting the first user, and the like).

The processing control unit 263 operates the operation of selecting the first user as the return agent desired by the target second user from the one or more first users included in the return list information displayed on the display unit 24. When the reception unit 262 receives (step S720-YES), the first user selected by the operation is specified as the return agent desired by the target second user. Then, the processing control unit 263 extracts, from the one or more agent identification information included in the list information, the agent identification information indicating each of the one or more first users. The process control unit 263 outputs the extracted agent identification information to the management device 40 (step S730). After the process of step S730 is performed, the process control unit 263 ends the return agent identifying process.

Note that the processing control unit 263 may be configured not to perform such return agent selection processing. In this case, the management device 40 automatically determines the first user as the return agent.

Through such processing, the target second terminal can select the first user who returns the desired electric vehicle that the target second user wants to charge, and causes the management device 40 to specify the selected first user. You can In addition, the target second terminal can display the return list information in this way to assist the target second user in selecting the return agent.

<Watching process performed by management device>

The process control unit 363 performs the second authentication process (step S1030).

In the second authentication process, the process control unit 363 extracts, from the locker identification information stored in the storage unit 31, locker identification information that matches the locker identification information included in the unlock request information acquired in advance. The process control unit 363 determines whether the encryption key associated with the extracted locker identification information and the encryption key included in the unlock request information match. When determining that the encryption key associated with the extracted locker identification information and the encryption key included in the unlock request information do not match, the processing control unit 363 determines that the authentication has failed. On the other hand, when the processing control unit 363 determines that the encryption key associated with the extracted locker identification information and the encryption key included in the unlock request information match, it determines that the authentication has succeeded.

After the process of step S1030 is performed, the process control unit 363 determines whether the authentication has succeeded in the second authentication process (step S1040).

When determining that the authentication has failed (NO in step S1040), the process control unit 363 outputs error information indicating that the authentication has failed to the first terminal 10 that is the output source of the unlock request information, To finish. The first terminal 10 is an example of the twelfth terminal.

On the other hand, when the process control unit 363 determines that the authentication is successful (step S1040-YES), the process control unit 363 unlocks the locker door indicated by the locker identification information included in the unlock request information acquired in advance (step S1050), The process ends.

As described above, by the processing of the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 11 to 13, the management system 1 stores the key of the electric vehicle even when the takeover agent and the return agent are handed over. The locker can be locked and unlocked safely by using the encryption key.

Instead of the key of the electric vehicle, the agent can use a storage medium in which electronic information indicating an encryption key for unlocking and starting the electric vehicle to be picked up or returned is stored. In this case, the management system 1 includes the storage medium. For example, the storage medium is one of the items stored in the charging facility CS. The storage medium is communicatively connected to the information processing device 30. In this case, the information processing device 30 generates the electronic information and stores the generated electronic information in the storage unit 31 in response to a request from the second terminal 20 operated by the second user requesting the charging proxy. Let The information processing device 30 outputs the electronic information to the storage medium in response to a request from the first terminal 10 operated by the take-back agent or the return agent. That is, the first user can pick up and return the electric vehicle by using the storage medium without receiving the key of the electric vehicle from the second user. In addition, the electronic information disappears from the storage medium, for example, after a predetermined period of time by the information processing device 30 has elapsed in the storage medium. Thereby, in the management system 1, for example, it is possible to prevent the electronic information from being used when the storage medium is taken away by an unintended person. Further, the information processing device 30 may be configured to erase the electronic information from the storage medium when a predetermined condition is satisfied. The condition is, for example, completion of charging proxy. As a result, the management system 1 can suppress the occurrence of theft, mischief, accident, or the like using the storage medium after the charging proxy is completed. Here, the storage medium may be configured to be communicably connected to another device such as the management device 40 instead of the information processing device 30 or in addition to the information processing device 30. In this case, the other device generates the electronic information in response to a request from the second terminal 20 operated by the second user requesting the charging agent, and the generated electronic information is stored in the other device. It is stored in the storage unit provided in. The other device outputs the electronic information to the storage medium in response to a request from the first terminal 10 operated by the take-back agent or the return agent. Accordingly, even in this case, the first user can pick up and return the electric vehicle by using the storage medium without receiving the key of the electric vehicle from the second user.

<Appearance determination processing performed by the management device>
The management device 40 compares the appearance of the electric vehicle immediately after being handed over from the second user who is the orderer to the first user with the appearance of the electric vehicle immediately before the electric vehicle is returned to the second user, Appearance determination processing is performed to determine whether or not the appearance of the electric vehicle has changed while charging is being performed. Thereby, the management device 40 can suppress, for example, the first user from handling the electric vehicle roughly. Hereinafter, such appearance determination processing performed by the management device 40 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating an example of the flow of appearance determination processing performed by the management device 40. Hereinafter, as an example, a case will be described in which the target first terminal outputs the captured image immediately after delivery and the captured image immediately before return, which will be described later, to the management device 40.

The management control unit 465 waits until the captured image is acquired immediately after the delivery (step S1110). Here, the imaged image immediately after the delivery is an imaged image of the appearance of the electric vehicle immediately after the delivery of the electric vehicle from the second user who is the orderer to the first user who is the agent. In addition, the target first terminal captures a captured image immediately after delivery by a camera included in the target first terminal in response to an operation from the first user. Then, the target first terminal associates the captured image immediately after delivery with the first terminal identification information indicating the target first terminal, and outputs the captured image immediately after delivery with the associated first terminal identification information to the management device 40. To do. In this way, the captured image immediately after delivery output from the target first terminal is acquired by the management control unit 465 in step S1110.

When the captured image immediately after delivery is acquired (step S1110-YES), the management control unit 465 identifies the orderer identification information and the agent identification information based on the acquired captured image immediately after delivery (step S1120). Specifically, the management control unit 465 extracts the agent information including the first terminal identification information associated with the captured image immediately after the delivery, from the agent information stored in the storage unit 41. Then, the management control unit 465 uses the agent identification information included in the extracted agent information as the agent identification information indicating the agent who performs the charging agent of the electric vehicle captured in the captured image immediately after the delivery. Extract from the proxy information. Also, the management control unit 465, based on the extracted agent identification information and the history of the process of step S520 shown in FIG. 7, the second user who has requested the charging agent of the electric vehicle (that is, the orderer). The orderer identification information indicating the is extracted from the orderer information stored in the storage unit 41.

Next, the management control unit 465 stores the captured image immediately after delivery acquired in step S1110 in the storage unit 41 in association with the orderer identification information and the proxy identification information extracted in step S1120 (step S1130).

Next, the management control unit 465 waits until the captured image immediately before the return is acquired (step S1140). Here, the captured image immediately before returning is a captured image in which the appearance of the electric vehicle immediately before the return of the electric vehicle from the first user who is a substitute for the second user who is the orderer is captured. It should be noted that the target first terminal captures a captured image immediately before returning by a camera included in the target first terminal in response to an operation from the first user. Then, the target first terminal associates the captured image immediately before the return with the first terminal identification information indicating the target first terminal, and outputs the captured image immediately before the return in which the first terminal identification information is associated to the management device 40. To do. In this manner, the management control unit 465 acquires the captured image immediately before returning output from the target first terminal in step S1140.

When the management control unit 465 acquires the captured image immediately before the return (step S1140-YES), the management control unit 465 specifies the orderer identification information and the proxy identification information based on the acquired captured image immediately before the return (step S1150). Specifically, the management control unit 465 extracts the agent information including the first terminal identification information associated with the captured image immediately before the return from the agent information stored in the storage unit 41. Then, the management control unit 465 uses the agent identification information included in the extracted agent information as the agent identification information indicating the agent who performs the charging agent of the electric vehicle captured in the captured image immediately after the delivery. Extract from the proxy information. Also, the management control unit 465, based on the extracted agent identification information and the history of the process of step S520 shown in FIG. 7, the second user who has requested the charging agent of the electric vehicle (that is, the orderer). The orderer identification information indicating the is extracted from the orderer information stored in the storage unit 41. The process of step S1150 may be omitted. In this case, the management control unit 465 uses the orderer identification information and the agent identification information extracted in step S1120 in step S1160 described later.

Next, the management control unit 465 stores the captured image immediately after delivery acquired in step S1140 in the storage unit 41 in association with the orderer identification information and the proxy identification information extracted in step S1150 (step S1160).

Next, the management control unit 465 compares the captured image immediately after delivery acquired in step S1110 with the captured image immediately before return acquired in step S1140, and the electrical images captured in the captured image immediately after delivery and the captured image immediately before return are compared. It is determined whether or not the appearance of the automobile has changed before and after charging (step S1170). Here, a method of comparing the captured image immediately after delivery and the captured image immediately before return to determine whether or not the appearance of the electric vehicle has changed before and after the charging agent may be a known method, It may be a method developed from now on.

Next, the management control unit 465 performs processing according to the result of the determination in step S1170 (step S1180). For example, when the management control unit 465 determines in step S1170 that there is a change in the appearance of the electric vehicle, information indicating that the appearance of the electric vehicle has changed is extracted in step S1120. It is output to each of the second terminal 20 operated by the second user indicated by the identification information and the first terminal 10 operated by the first user indicated by the proxy identification information extracted in step S1120.
On the other hand, when the management control unit 465 determines in step S1170 that the appearance of the electric vehicle has not changed, the second user operates the information indicating that the appearance of the electric vehicle has not changed. Output to the second terminal 20 and the first terminal 10 operated by the first user. Then, the management control unit 465 ends the process after the process of step S1180 is performed.

In this way, the management device 40 performs the appearance determination process. As a result, the management system 1 can prevent the agent from handling the electric vehicle in a rough manner.

Note that the management control unit 465 may be configured to perform a captured image transmission process in place of the processes of steps S1170 to S1180 in the process of the flowchart shown in FIG. In the captured image transmission processing, the management control unit 465 extracts the captured image immediately after delivery stored in the storage unit 41 in step S1130 and the captured image immediately before return stored in the storage unit 41 in step S1160 in step S1120. It may be configured to output to the second terminal 20 operated by the second user indicated by the orderer identification information. In this case, the management system 1 causes the second user to determine whether or not the appearance of the electric vehicle captured in the captured image immediately after the delivery and the captured image immediately before the return has changed before and after the charging proxy. be able to. Further, the management control unit 465 may be configured to perform a captured image transmission process in response to a captured image acquisition request from the second terminal 20.

<Modification of Embodiment>
Hereinafter, a modified example of the embodiment described above will be described.

For example, the electric vehicle described above may be configured to include the third terminal.
A certain third terminal acquires electric vehicle position information about the electric vehicle on which the third terminal is mounted. The third terminal includes a position detection device that detects the position of the third terminal as the position of the electric vehicle by using a positioning system such as GPS. The third terminal acquires electric vehicle position information indicating the position from the position detection device. The said 3rd terminal outputs the acquired electric vehicle position information to the 2nd terminal 20 operated by the 2nd user who requested the charging agency of the said electric vehicle as parking state information about the said electric vehicle.
Thereby, in the management system 1, the second terminal 20 acquires the parking state information from the third terminal mounted on the electric vehicle, instead of acquiring the parking state information from the information processing device 30. be able to. As a result, for example, in the management system 1, the load on the information processing device 30 can be reduced. Moreover, the said 3rd terminal is equipped with the charge condition detection apparatus which detects the charge condition information about the said electric vehicle, for example. The third terminal acquires the charging status information from the charging status detection device. Then, the third terminal outputs the charging status information to the second terminal 20. Thereby, in the management system 1, instead of acquiring the charging status information from the information processing device 30, the charging status information can be acquired from the third terminal mounted on the electric vehicle. As a result, for example, in the management system 1, the load on the information processing device 30 can be reduced.

Further, the charging facility CS described above may be configured to store the bicycle used by the first user. In this case, the first user can ride on the bicycle and move to the delivery position of the electric vehicle. Further, in this case, the bicycle may be configured to include a bicycle position detection unit. The bicycle position detection unit is a sensor that detects the position of the bicycle and outputs bicycle position information indicating the detected position to the management device 40. Then, in this case, the management device 40 can return the electric vehicle or not, based on the bicycle position information acquired from the bicycle position detection unit, whether or not the electric vehicle can be collected. Or not. As a result, the management system 1 can reduce the time and effort required for the first user to operate the first terminal 10 to transmit the proxy acceptance/denial information to the management device 40. The bicycle is preferably a folding bicycle and can be carried by an electric vehicle. Accordingly, the first user can load the bicycle on the electric vehicle that has been picked up and move to the charging facility CS by the electric vehicle.

Further, the charging facility CS described above may be configured such that a person who moves the fully charged electric vehicle is permanently stationed at a parking lot for parking the fully charged electric vehicle. In this case, the parking lot is provided with, for example, a device (for example, an imaging device) that detects vehicle identification information about the electric vehicle. The device outputs the vehicle identification information together with information indicating that the charging of the electric vehicle is completed to the second terminal 20 operated by the second user who has placed an order for charging the electric vehicle. As a result, the management system 1 can efficiently charge the electric vehicle.

Further, when the number of charging facilities CH to which the electric vehicle is not connected is less than a predetermined threshold value, the management device 40 described above prioritizes the return request process over the agent request process described above. Alternatively, the configuration may be carried out. As a result, the management system 1 can suppress a reduction in the chances of accepting the charging proxy due to the fact that the charging facility CH is not available (that is, an increase in the opportunity loss of the charging proxy).

Further, when the information processing apparatus 30 described above is connected to a certain charging facility CH of an electric vehicle, the agent identifying information indicating the agent who connected the electric vehicle to the charging facility CH is replaced with the charging facility. The configuration may be such that the agent accepts the request via the CH. In this case, the information processing device 30 outputs the received proxy agent identification information to the management device 40 together with the information indicating the charging facility CH. Note that, as described above, the information processing apparatus 30 acquires from any charging facility CH the information acquired from each charging facility CH by, for example, the port to which the cable connecting to each charging facility CH is connected. Can be identified. The management device 40 identifies the orderer who has ordered the charging agent for the electric vehicle, based on the agent identification information and the history of the agent request process described above. Then, the management device 40 is operated by the orderer who has specified the parking state information (for example, the captured image) detected by the detection unit S included in the charging facility CH each time the predetermined period described above elapses. Output to the terminal 20. Thereby, the management device 40 can output the parking state information to the second terminal 20 each time a predetermined period elapses without using the vehicle identification information. Note that the management device 40 may also output the charging status information about the electric vehicle acquired by the charging facility CH to the second terminal 20 together with the parking status information every time a predetermined period elapses. Good. Further, the management device 40 may be configured to output the charging status information to the second terminal 20 instead of the parking state information.

Further, in the management system 1 described above, in addition to managing the charging agency by the agent in response to the request from the orderer, the dispatch of the power supply vehicle by the dispatcher in response to the request from the orderer is also managed. May be. Here, the proxy is a person who charges for charging, that is, a person who wants to charge for the electric vehicle and obtain a price. The dispatcher is a person who dispatches the power supply vehicle, that is, a person who wants to pay the price by dispatching the power supply vehicle. More specifically, the surrogate is a person (or a person who wants to be paid) by performing at least one of a plurality of tasks that occur when charging an electric vehicle. .. The plurality of operations include, for example, collection of the electric vehicle, connection of the electric vehicle to charging equipment, return of the electric vehicle, and the like. The dispatcher is a person who obtains a consideration (or a person who wants to obtain a consideration) by performing at least one of a plurality of operations that occur when dispatching a power supply vehicle. The plurality of operations include, for example, dispatch of a power feeding vehicle, connection of the power feeding vehicle to an electric vehicle, and power feeding by the power feeding vehicle. Note that the plurality of works may include other works. The orderer is a person who wants to charge another person to charge the electric vehicle or to request the dispatch of a power supply vehicle to another person by paying the charge.

For example, the management system 1a according to the modified example wants to charge the electric vehicle on behalf of another person, or wants to request the dispatch of a power supply vehicle to another person, and charges the electric vehicle on behalf of the ordering party A1 or A contract to be concluded between a representative or a dispatcher A2 who wants to pay a fee by dispatching a power supply vehicle, a charge for charging the orderer A1 or a charge for dispatching a power supply vehicle, and a proxy or This is a system for managing (mediating) the payment of the charge for the charging agent or the payment of the dispatch of the power supply vehicle to the dispatcher A2. Here, substituting the charge of the electric vehicle includes causing the substitute to perform at least one of taking the electric vehicle, connecting the electric vehicle to a charging facility, and returning the electric vehicle. Dispatching the power supply vehicle includes causing the dispatcher to dispatch the power supply vehicle, connecting the power supply vehicle to the electric vehicle, and supplying power by the power supply vehicle.

More specifically, the management system 1a receives, from the orderer A1, a request for a charging agent for the electric vehicle B or a request for dispatch of a power supply vehicle. That is, the orderer A1 can select either one of charging by a proxy and dispatch of a power supply vehicle by a dispatcher. Since the above-described embodiment can be applied to the processing when the charging proxy request is accepted, the description of the processing when the dispatch of the power feeding vehicle is accepted will be continued here. Based on the received request, the management system 1a causes the dispatcher A2 to dispatch the power supply vehicle for the electric vehicle B requested by the orderer A1. The management system 1a charges the orderer A1 the charge for dispatching the power supply vehicle for the electric vehicle B after the charging by the power supply vehicle dispatched to the electric vehicle B is completed and the dispatched power supply vehicle returns. .. Further, the management system 1a, after the charging by the power supply vehicle dispatched to the electric vehicle B is completed and the dispatched power supply vehicle returns, after the dispatcher A2 pays for the dispatch of the power supply vehicle for the electric vehicle B (ie, , Reward money, salary etc.).

In this way, the management system 1a manages the dispatch of the power supply vehicle by the dispatcher in addition to the charging agency by the proxy. As a result, the management system 1a can provide a service of dispatching a power supply vehicle in addition to a service of charging an electric vehicle on behalf. The configuration of the management system 1a will be described in detail below.

Hereinafter, as an example, a case where the charging status of the electric vehicle is represented by either that the battery of the electric vehicle is being charged or that the battery of the electric vehicle is completely charged will be described. .. The charging status of the electric vehicle depends on the charging amount of the battery, such as the charging amount and the time required to complete the charging of the battery when the charging amount of the battery can be detected by the power feeding vehicle C2. The configuration may be represented by the amount of charge, or may be represented by the information indicating that the electric vehicle is connected to the power feeding vehicle C2. Moreover, each electric power feeding vehicle C2 transmits null information to the information processing apparatus 30a as charging status information while the electric vehicle is not connected. In this case, each power feeding vehicle C2 may be configured not to transmit the charging status information to the information processing device 30a.

<Process in which the first terminal outputs the 1a information>
Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 17, a process in which the first terminal 10a outputs the 1a information will be described. FIG. 17 is a diagram showing an example of the flow of processing in which the first terminal 10a outputs the 1a information.

Hereinafter, the process of the first terminal 10a outputting the 1a information will be described by taking the process performed by the target first terminal, which is one of the one or more first terminals 10a, as an example. Further, hereinafter, for convenience of description, the first user who operates the target first terminal will be referred to as a target first user. The target first user is an example of a first dispatcher.
In the following, as an example, the 1a operation image generated by the display control unit 161a of the target first terminal is the target first terminal at a timing before the process of step S110a illustrated in FIG. 17 is executed. The case where it is displayed on the display unit 14a of will be described. The 1a operation image is an image including a GUI for the target first user to input various information to the target first terminal. For example, the display control unit 161a generates the 1a operation image when the dedicated application program installed in the target first terminal is executed, for example. Then, the display control unit 161a causes the display unit 14a to display the generated 1a operation image.

The operation reception unit 162a waits until the proxy acceptance acceptance/rejection information is received via the 1a operation image (step S110a).

When the operation acceptance unit 162a accepts the dispatch acceptance/rejection information via the 1a operation image (step S110a-YES), the process control unit 163a reads out the dispatcher information stored in advance in the storage unit 11a from the storage unit 11a. (Step S120a).

Here, the dispatcher information regarding a certain first user is information including dispatcher identification information (for example, identification ID) indicating the first user.

In the present embodiment, the dispatcher information about a certain first user includes, in addition to the dispatcher identification information indicating the first user, the name, sex, address, contact information (phone number, mail address) of the first user. Etc.), other information such as first terminal identification information for identifying the first terminal 10a operated by the first user, information indicating an authentication password, and the like. Note that the dispatcher information about the first user may not include some or all of these other information.

The dispatcher information about a certain first user is, for example, the 1a displayed on the first terminal 10a operated by the first user when the first user registers himself/herself as the dispatcher in the management device 40a. It is previously input from the first user to the first terminal 10a via the operation image. The process control unit 163a outputs the input dispatcher information to the management device 40a and registers (stores) it in the management device 40a.

In this example, the first user who operates the target first terminal is the target first user. Therefore, the dispatcher information read by the processing control unit 163a in step S120a is the dispatcher information for the target first user. The dispatcher identification information indicating the target first user is an example of the first dispatcher identification information.

After the processing of step S120a is performed, the processing control unit 163a uses the position information indicating the current position of the target first terminal detected by the position detection unit 15a as the position information indicating the current position of the target first user. It is acquired from the detection unit 15a (step S130a). The position information is an example of first position information.

Next, the processing control unit 163a generates movement status information indicating whether or not the target first user is moving (step S140a). Specifically, the process control unit 163a determines whether the target first user is moving. For example, when the operation reception unit 162a has previously received information indicating that the target first user is moving via the 1a operation image, the processing control unit 163a indicates that the target first user is moving. judge. On the other hand, when the operation reception unit 162a has previously received information indicating that the target first user has not moved via the 1a operation image, the processing control unit 163a determines that the target first user has not moved. judge. The processing control unit 163a generates movement status information according to the determined result. That is, when the processing control unit 163a determines that the target first user is moving, the processing control unit 163a generates movement status information indicating that the target first user is moving. When the processing control unit 163a determines that the target first user has not moved, the processing control unit 163a generates movement status information indicating that the target first user has not moved.

Note that the processing control unit 163a does not have to be configured to determine whether or not the target first user is moving based on the information received by the operation receiving unit 162a via the 1a operation image, and instead of the current time, a predetermined time is determined. The configuration may be such that the determination is performed based on the change in the position of the target first terminal detected by the position detection unit 15a within the period up to the time back in time. Further, the process control unit 163a may be configured to make the determination by another method.

Next, the processing control unit 163a generates destination information indicating the destination of the target first user when the target first user is moving (step S150a). Specifically, for example, when the operation reception unit 162a has previously received an operation indicating the destination of the target first user via the 1a operation image, the processing control unit 163a indicates the destination indicated by the operation. Generate destination information. In addition, for example, when the operation reception unit 162a has not previously received an operation indicating the destination, the processing control unit 163a generates null information as the destination information.

The processing control unit 163a may be configured to generate destination information based on the operation received by the operation receiving unit 162a via the 1a operation image, instead of, for example, a movement route along which the target first terminal has moved in the past. And a change in the position of the target first terminal detected by the position detection unit 15a within a period from the current time to a time point traced back by a predetermined time, and the destination point indicating the estimated destination point is estimated. It may be configured to generate information. Further, the processing control unit 163a may be configured to generate the destination information by another method.

Next, the processing control unit 163a, the dispatch acceptance acceptance/rejection information received in step S110a, the dispatcher information read in step S120a, the position information acquired in step S130a, the movement status information generated in step S140a, and the step The 1a information including the destination information generated in S150a is generated (step S160a).

Next, the process control unit 163a outputs the 1a information generated in step S160a to the management device 40a (step S170a), and ends the process.

By such processing, for example, the target first user sets the target first terminal to the target first user at a predetermined timing such as a timing of starting dispatch of the power feeding vehicle C2 or a timing of completing dispatch of the power feeding vehicle C2. It is possible to make the management device 40a specify whether or not is in a state where it is possible to undertake dispatch of the power feeding vehicle C2. Further, according to the processing, at the timing, the target first terminal manages whether the target first user is moving and the destination of the target first user when the target first user is moving. 40a can be specified.

<Process for the second terminal to output the 2a information>
Hereinafter, the process in which the second terminal 20a outputs the 2a information will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 18 is a diagram showing an example of the flow of processing in which the second terminal 20a outputs the 2a information.

In the following, the process of the second terminal 20a outputting the 2a information will be described by taking the process performed by the target second terminal, which is one of the one or more second terminals 20a, as an example. Further, hereinafter, for convenience of description, a person who operates the target second terminal will be described as a target second user. The target second user is an example of an orderer.

In the following, as an example, the 2a operation image generated by the display control unit 261a of the target second terminal is the target second terminal at a timing before the process of step S210a illustrated in FIG. 18 is executed. The case of being displayed on the display unit 24a will be described. The 2a operation image is an image including a GUI for the target second user to input various information to the target second terminal. For example, the display control unit 261a generates the 2a operation image when the dedicated application program installed in the target second terminal is executed. Then, the display control unit 261a causes the display unit 24a to display the generated second a operation image.

In the present embodiment, in the 2a operation image, the GUI for inputting the power supply time information indicating the time at which the dispatcher (that is, the first user) of the power supply vehicle C2 supplies power to the target second user, and the target second user. A GUI for inputting power feeding position information indicating a position where the dispatcher of the power feeding vehicle C2 performs power feeding is included.

The operation reception unit 262a waits until the target second user receives a dispatch request operation requesting dispatch of the power feeding vehicle C2 (step S210a). In the present embodiment, the dispatch request operation in the 2a operation image is an operation that can be performed after each of the power supply time information and the power supply position information is input to the 2a operation image.

When the operation receiving unit 262 receives the dispatch request operation (step S210a-YES), the process control unit 263a acquires each of the power supply time information and the power supply position information input to the 2a operation image (step S220a).

Next, the processing control unit 263a reads out the orderer information previously stored in the storage unit 21a from the storage unit 21a (step S230a).

Here, the orderer information regarding a certain second user is information including orderer identification information (for example, identification ID) indicating the second user.

In the modified example of the present embodiment, the orderer information about a certain second user includes, in addition to the orderer identification information indicating the second user, the name, sex, address, contact information (telephone number) of the second user. , Email address, etc.), second terminal identification information for identifying the second terminal 20a operated by the second user, and other information such as information indicating an authentication password. The orderer information regarding the second user may not include some or all of these other information.

The orderer information about a certain second user is displayed on the second terminal 20a operated by the second user when the second user registers itself in the management device 40a as the orderer, for example. It is previously input to the second terminal 20a from the second user via the operation image. The processing control unit 263a outputs the input orderer information to the management device 40a and registers (stores) it in the management device 40a.

In this example, the second user who operates the target second terminal is the target second user. Therefore, the orderer information read by the process control unit 263a in step S230a is the orderer information about the target second user.

After the processing of step S230a is performed, the processing control unit 263a generates second-a information including each of the power feeding time information and the power feeding position information acquired in step S220a, and the orderer information read in step S230a ( Step S240a). The 2a information may not include the orderer information.

Next, the process control unit 263a outputs the 2a information generated in step S240a to the management device 40 (step S250a), and ends the process.

By such processing, for example, the target second user causes the target second terminal to request the management device 40a to dispatch the power supply vehicle desired by the target second user at a timing desired by the target second user. It can be carried out.

The target second terminal performs the dispatcher selection process after outputting the 2a information to the management device 40a in this way. In the dispatcher selection process, the target second user wants the target second user to dispatch the power supply vehicle C2, connect the dispatched power supply vehicle C2 to the electric vehicle, and supply power to the electric vehicle. This is a process of selecting the first user to be selected from a plurality of first users. Therefore, hereinafter, the dispatcher selection process performed by the target second terminal will be described with reference to FIG.

<Dispatcher selection process performed by the second terminal>
FIG. 19 is a diagram illustrating an example of the flow of a dispatcher selection process performed by the target second terminal.

In the following, as an example, a case will be described in which the target second terminal described above outputs the second-a information to the management device 40a at the timing immediately before the process of step S260a illustrated in FIG. 19 is executed.

The process control unit 263a waits until the target second terminal acquires the list information from the management device 40a as a response to the target second terminal outputting the 2a information to the management device 40a (step S260a).

Here, among the plurality of first users, the list information indicates that the target second user has the power supply vehicle C2 by the time indicated by the power supply time information included in the second a information output to the management device 40a by the target second terminal. It is information indicating a list of first users (that is, a list of dispatchers) who can dispatch. In the modified example of the present embodiment, the list information includes dispatcher identification information indicating each of one or more first users included in the list. The list information may not include the dispatcher identification information indicating each of the one or more first users. In this case, the process control unit 263a waits in step S260a until the list information and the information including the dispatcher identification information indicating each of the one or more first users are acquired.

When the target second terminal acquires the list information from the management device 40a (step S260a-YES), the display control unit 261a causes the display unit 24a to display the list information acquired by the target second terminal (step S270a). Thereby, the target second terminal can cause the target second user to select the first user as the dispatcher desired by the target second user from the one or more first users included in the list information.

Next, the operation reception unit 262a performs an operation of selecting the first user as the dispatcher desired by the target second user from the one or more first users included in the list information displayed on the display unit 24a. It waits until it is received (step S280a).

The processing control unit 263a selects the first user as the dispatcher desired by the target second user from the one or more first users included in the list information displayed on the display unit 24a. When 262a receives (step S280a-YES), the 1st user selected by the said operation is specified as a dispatcher whom the target 2nd user desires. Then, the processing control unit 263a extracts the dispatcher identification information indicating the first user from one or more dispatcher identification information included in the list information. The process control unit 263a outputs the extracted dispatcher identification information to the management device 40a (step S290a). After the processing of step S290a is performed, the processing control unit 263a ends the dispatcher identification processing.

The processing control unit 263a may be configured not to perform such dispatcher selection processing. In this case, the management device 40a automatically determines the first user.

By such a process, the target second terminal can select the first user who dispatches the power supply vehicle C2 and supplies power to the electric vehicle, and the target second user sets the selected first user as the management device 40a. Can be specified. In addition, the target second terminal can display the list information in this manner to assist the target second user in selecting the dispatcher.

<Process in which information processing device outputs 3a information>
Hereinafter, a process in which the information processing device 30a outputs the 3a information will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 20 is a diagram illustrating an example of the flow of a process in which the information processing device 30a outputs the 3a information.

For example, when the information processing device 30a receives an operation to start the process of outputting the 3a information to the management device 40a, the information processing device 30a repeats the process of the flowchart illustrated in FIG. 20 every time a predetermined period elapses.

The information processing apparatus 30a selects one or more power feeding vehicles C2 as the power feeding vehicles C2 requesting dispatch one by one, and performs the processing of steps S320a to S340a on the selected power feeding vehicles C2 (step S310a).

The process control unit 363a acquires the charging status information detected by the power feeding vehicle C2 selected in step S310a from the power feeding vehicle C2 (step S320a).

Next, the process control unit 363a generates power supply vehicle availability information indicating the availability status of the power supply vehicle C2 based on the charge status information acquired in step S320a (step S330a). Specifically, when the charging status information is null information, the processing control unit 363a generates the power supply vehicle availability status information indicating that the power supply vehicle C2 is empty. On the other hand, when the charge status information is not null information, the process control unit 363a generates power supply vehicle availability status information indicating that the power supply vehicle C2 is not available.

Next, the processing control unit 363a generates 3a information including the charging status information acquired in step S320a, the power supply vehicle availability status information generated in step S330a, and the power supply vehicle identification information indicating the power supply vehicle C2. (Step S340a). Note that the 3a information may include other information in addition to the charging status information and the power supply vehicle availability information. Further, the 3a information may not include part or all of the charging status information and the power supply vehicle availability information.

Next, the process control unit 363a outputs the 3a information generated in step S340a to the management device 40a (step S350a). After the process of step S350a is performed, the process control unit 363a transitions to step S310a and selects the next target power feeding vehicle C2. Here, when there is no unselected power feeding vehicle that can be selected as the target power feeding vehicle C2 in step S310a, the process control unit 363a ends the process after the process of step S350a is performed.

Through such processing, the information processing device 30a can sequentially cause the management device 40a to specify the status of the power feeding vehicle C2 each time a predetermined period elapses.

<Process in which the management device manages dispatch of the power supply vehicle>
Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 21, a process in which the management device 40a manages dispatch of a power feeding vehicle will be described. FIG. 21 is a diagram illustrating an example of a flow of processing in which the management device 40a manages dispatch of a power feeding vehicle. Hereinafter, as an example, a case will be described in which the management device 40a receives the 1a information from each of the one or more first terminals 10a at a timing before the process of step S410a illustrated in FIG. 21 is performed. .. Further, in the following, as an example, a case will be described in which the management device 40a receives the 3a information regarding each power feeding vehicle C2 from the information processing device 30a at the timing.

The management control unit 465a waits until the 2a information is acquired from any of the one or more second terminals 20a (step S410a). Here, as an example, a case where the management device 40a acquires the 2a-th information from the target second terminal described above will be described below.

When acquiring the 2a information from the target second terminal (step S410a-YES), the management control unit 465a performs the authentication process based on the orderer information included in the acquired 2a information (step S420a).

In the authentication processing, the management control unit 465a, for example, the orderer information that matches the orderer information included in the second-a information acquired in step S410a in one or more orderer information stored in advance in the storage unit 41a. It is determined whether or not is included. The one or more orderer information is one or more orderer information registered in advance in the management device 40a. The management control unit 465a determines that the orderer information that matches the orderer information included in the 2a information acquired in step S410a is included in the one or more orderer information stored in advance in the storage unit 41a. When it is determined, it is determined that the authentication is successful. On the other hand, in the management control unit 465a, the one or more orderer information stored in advance in the storage unit 41a includes the orderer information that matches the orderer information included in the 2a information acquired in step S410a. If it is determined that there is not, it is determined that the authentication has failed.

Next, the management control unit 465a determines whether or not the authentication by the authentication processing of step S420a has succeeded (step S430a).

When the management control unit 465a determines that the authentication by the authentication process of step S420a has failed (step S430a-NO), the management controller 465a outputs information indicating that the authentication has failed to the target second terminal. Then, the management control unit 465a transitions to step S410a and waits again until the 2a information is acquired from any one of the one or more second terminals 20a.

On the other hand, when the management control unit 465a determines that the authentication by the authentication process of step S420a is successful (step S430a-YES), the power feeding vehicle included in the 3a information about each power feeding vehicle C2 acquired from the information processing device 30a. Based on the availability information, it is determined whether or not the power supply vehicle C2 is available (step S440a). Here, when the power supply vehicle C2 to which the electric vehicle is not connected is present at the current time, the management control unit 465a determines that the power supply vehicle C2 is empty. On the other hand, when the power supply vehicle C2 to which the electric vehicle is not connected does not exist at the current time, the management control unit 465a determines that the power supply vehicle C2 is not available.

When the management control unit 465a determines that the power feeding vehicle C2 is not available (step S440a-NO), it outputs dispatch impossible information indicating that the power feeding vehicle C2 cannot be dispatched at the current time to the target second terminal (step S440a-NO). S530a). At this time, the management control unit 465a may be configured to estimate the time when the power feeding vehicle C2 can be dispatched and output the dispatch-disabled information to the target second terminal together with the information indicating the estimated time. The reservation of the dispatch may be accepted by the estimated time and the processes of steps S450a to S520a. After the processing of step S530a is performed, the management control unit 465a transitions to step S410a and waits again until the second information is acquired from any one of the one or more second terminals 20a.

On the other hand, when the management control unit 465a determines that the power feeding vehicle C2 is vacant (step S440a-YES), the process of step S450a is performed for each of the one or more dispatcher information items stored in advance in the storage unit 41a. Repeatedly (step S450a). The one or more dispatcher information is one or more dispatcher information registered in advance in the management device 40a.

The management control unit 465a determines whether or not the first user indicated by the dispatcher identification information included in the dispatcher information selected in step S450a is in a state where it can accept the dispatch (step S460a). Hereinafter, for convenience of description, the first user will be described as a target dispatcher.

In step S460a, the management control unit 465a extracts, from the 1a information acquired in advance, the 1a information acquired immediately before from the first terminal 10a operated by the target dispatcher. The management control unit 465a determines whether or not the target dispatcher can accept the dispatch based on the dispatch acceptance/rejection information included in the extracted 1a information.

When the management control unit 465a determines that the target dispatcher is not in a state capable of accepting the dispatch (step S460a-NO), the management controller 465a transitions to step S450a and selects the next dispatcher information. On the other hand, when the management control unit 465a determines that the target dispatcher can accept the dispatch (step S460a-YES), it estimates the power supply possible time of the target dispatcher (step S470a).
