Hereinafter, the present invention will be described through embodiments of the invention, but the following embodiments do not limit the inventions that fall within the scope of the claims. Also, not all combinations of features described in the embodiments are essential to the means of solving the invention.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The information processing device 100 receives, for example, information indicating the amount of electric power provided by the user 42 and information on a power source indicating the source of the electric power from the smart meter 30. The information processing apparatus 100 gives the user 42 a reward related to the power supply destination according to, for example, the amount of electric power provided by the user 42.

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

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

For example, when the seat ticket points of the user 42 are managed by the information processing device 100, the information processing device 100 adds points according to the amount of power provided to the seat ticket points managed by the user. Update 42 seat ticket points. Further, for example, when the seat ticket points of the user 42 are managed by the railway company's server, the information processing device 100 uses the points according to the amount of electric power provided as the seat ticket points managed by the railway company's server. By adding, the seat ticket points of the user 42 are updated.

For example, if there is a change such as the termination of the fixed electricity purchase system, it is expected that a large amount of surplus electricity will be generated in each household. It is desirable to be able to effectively utilize the surplus power. Assuming that people are using the fixed electricity purchase system, it is thought that there are quite a few people who live in the suburbs and commute by train in the morning. In addition, although such people often have solar power generation equipment, they should be absent during the daytime even though the amount of power generated by the solar power generation equipment during the daytime is larger than that at nighttime. Therefore, the amount of electricity consumed at home is small, and a large amount of surplus electricity is generated.

In such a situation, by giving the seat ticket points to the user 42 who provided the electric power to the railway company, the user 42 can be rewarded for improving the comfort of commuting, and the incentive for the user 42. By encouraging the provision of surplus electricity to railway companies, it is possible to contribute to the stable supply of electricity to railway companies.

Further, for example, when the user 42 provides electric power to the rental car company that rents the EV, the information processing device 100 is owned by the rental car company for the user 42 according to the amount of the provided electric power. Award EV seat ticket points. The seat ticket referred to here is, for example, a ticket required for renting an EV. By giving seat ticket points to the user 42 who provided the electric power to the rental car company, the user 42 can be rewarded for easily using the EV, and the surplus electric power to the rental car company can be given. By encouraging the provision, it is possible to contribute to the stable supply of electric power to a rental car company that requires a large amount of electric power for charging EVs and the like.

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

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

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

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

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

The point update unit 208 may update the seat ticket points corresponding to the user 42 by the update amount according to the amount of electric power provided to the railway company by the user 42. The point update unit 208 may update the seat ticket points corresponding to the user 42 with a larger amount of update as the amount of electric power provided to the railway company by the user 42 increases.

The point update unit 208 may update the seat ticket points corresponding to the user 42 by the update amount according to the time zone when the electric power is provided to the railway company by the user 42. The point renewal unit 208 may renew the seat ticket points corresponding to the user 42 with a larger renewal amount when the power is provided at a time when the railway company needs more power. For example, when the first time zone and the second time zone in which the railway company requires more electric power than the first time zone are registered, the point update unit 208 uses the first time zone. The seat ticket point corresponding to the user 42 is renewed with a larger amount of renewal when the power is provided in the second time zone than when the power is provided to the user 42.

The point update unit 208 may update the seat ticket points corresponding to the user 42 by the update amount according to the demand response information. For example, the point update unit 208 updates the seat ticket points corresponding to the user 42 with a larger update amount as the achievement level of the demand response is higher.

As a specific example, the point update unit 208 receives a seat ticket with a higher renewal fee when power is provided by the user 42 in response to a request for power provision according to the demand response information, as compared with the case where the power is not provided. Update points. In addition, the point update unit 208 may update the seat ticket points when the power consumption by the user 42 is reduced in response to the demand response information requesting the reduction of the power consumption.

The point update unit 208 corresponds to the user 42 based on two or more of the update amount according to the amount of electric power, the update amount according to the time zone in which the electric power is provided, and the update amount according to the demand response information. You may renew your seat ticket points.

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

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

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

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

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

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

The procedure for purchasing a seat ticket may be a procedure for reducing the number of seat ticket points corresponding to the user 42 and making it possible to issue a seat ticket. For example, the procedure execution unit 308 permits the ticketing unit 310 to issue a physical seat ticket. As a specific example, the procedure execution unit 308 transmits information for identifying the user terminal 400 of the user 42 and information for permitting the user terminal 400 to issue a seat ticket to the ticketing unit 310. The ticketing unit 310 may issue a physical seat ticket, for example, when it receives a discovery request from the user terminal 400 via short-range wireless communication or the like and can authenticate the user terminal 400.

Further, for example, the procedure execution unit 308 permits the ticketing unit 310 to issue an electronic seat ticket. As a specific example, the procedure execution unit 308 transmits information for identifying the user terminal 400 of the user 42 and information for permitting the user terminal 400 to issue a seat ticket to the ticketing unit 310. The ticketing unit 310 may receive the discovery request from the user terminal 400 via the communication network 20, and when the user terminal 400 can be authenticated, the electronic data of the seat ticket may be transmitted to the user terminal 400.

The seat ticket reservation procedure may be a procedure for reducing the seat ticket points corresponding to the user 42 and making a seat ticket reservation. The procedure execution unit 308 sets, for example, the ticketing unit 310 so as to reduce the seat ticket points corresponding to the user 42 and issue the seat ticket at the reserved time. The ticketing unit 310 may issue a seat ticket at the reserved time. Further, the ticketing unit 310 may issue a seat ticket when receiving a ticketing request from the user terminal 400 after the reservation time.

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

The seat ticket may have an available time zone. For example, seat tickets that can be used from 5:00 to 9:00, seat tickets that can be used from 9:00 to 17:00, seat tickets that can be used from 17:00 to 0:00, and seat tickets that can be used from 0:00 to 5:00. May exist. In this case, the procedure execution unit 308 may change the necessary points for each seat ticket for each time zone. As a specific example, if the time zone congestion rate from 5:00 to 9:00 is higher than the time zone congestion rate from 9:00 to 17:00, the procedure execution department 308 will make a seat ticket available from 5:00 to 9:00. Make the required points higher than the points required for seat tickets available from 9am to 5pm.

The available time zone is not set for the seat ticket, and the expiration date from the ticket issuance may be set. For example, an arbitrary expiration date such as 5 minutes, 10 minutes, or 30 minutes from the ticket issuance is set. In this case, the procedure execution unit 308 may change the necessary points according to the time zone for issuing the seat ticket. As a specific example, when the time zone congestion rate from 5:00 to 9:00 is higher than the time zone congestion rate from 9:00 to 17:00, the procedure execution unit 308 issues a ticket between 5:00 and 9:00. The points required for the ticket will be higher than the points required for issuing tickets between 9:00 and 17:00.

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

For example, the procedure execution unit 308 ranks the user 42 according to the accumulated amount of seat ticket points. As a specific example, the procedure execution unit 308 is ranked A when the cumulative amount is larger than the first threshold value, and when the cumulative amount is between the first threshold value and the second threshold value lower than the first threshold value. Rank B and rank C when the cumulative amount is less than the second threshold value are set, and the seat ticket points required for purchasing or reserving a seat ticket are lowered in the order of rank C, rank B, and rank A. The number of ranks is not limited to this, and may be two or four or more.

The seat ticket points required to purchase or reserve a seat ticket for rank A, rank B, and rank C are determined based on an arbitrary method, provided that the seat ticket points are lowered in the order of rank C, rank B, and rank A. May be done. For example, a standard seat ticket point required for purchasing or reserving a certain seat ticket is set, and the seat ticket point when a user 42 of rank C purchases or reserves the seat ticket is 100% of the standard seat ticket point, rank B. 90% of the standard seat ticket points when the user 42 purchases or reserves the seat ticket, and the standard seat ticket points when the rank A user 42 purchases or reserves the seat ticket. Change the ratio for each rank, such as 80%. Further, for example, the seat ticket point when the user 42 of rank C purchases or reserves the seat ticket is the same as the standard seat ticket point, and the seat ticket when the user 42 of rank B purchases or reserves the seat ticket. Change discount points, such as points deducted by 2 points from the standard seat ticket points, and seat ticket points when a rank A user 42 purchases or reserves a seat ticket is deducted by 4 points from the standard seat ticket points. Let me. The seat ticket points required for purchasing or reserving a seat ticket for each of rank A, rank B, and rank C may be arbitrarily set so as to be lower in the order of rank C, rank B, and rank A.

By lowering the seat ticket points required to purchase or reserve a seat ticket as the cumulative amount of seat ticket points increases, the user 42 who provides more power can purchase or reserve a seat ticket with a lower seat ticket point. Can be made to. For example, in the case of providing an interface in which only the seat tickets that can be purchased are presented depending on the remaining amount of seat ticket points of the user 42, the remaining amount of seat ticket points of a plurality of users 42 is tentatively the same. Also, the higher rank user 42 can be presented with more seat tickets than the lower rank user 42. This can give the user 42 an incentive to provide more power.

In the above embodiment, the electric power information acquisition unit 202 acquires electric power information including information indicating the amount of electric power provided to the railway company by the user 42 and information on the electric power source indicating the source of the electric power. Although explained above, it is not limited to this. The electric power information acquisition unit 202 may acquire electric power information including the amount of electric power scheduled to be provided to the railway company by the user 42. As a result, the number of seat ticket points corresponding to the user 42 can be increased with the provision of electric power as collateral, and the convenience can be improved.

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

FIG. 3 schematically shows an example of the user information table 510. The user information table 510 illustrated in FIG. 3 stores the user ID, name, address, remaining amount of seat ticket points of the user 42, and the cumulative amount of seat ticket points given to the user 42 in association with each other. The user information table 510 may store information other than these. The operation management server 200 may store the user information table 510. Further, the user information table 510 may be stored in the railway company server 300.

FIG. 4 schematically shows an example of the point table 520. In the point table 520, the number of points per unit electric power for each electric power provision time is registered. The point update unit 208 may update the points at which the seat ticket corresponding to the user 42 can be purchased according to the point table 520.

FIG. 4 illustrates a case where 1 point / Kw is obtained from 6:00 to 20:00 and 2 points / Kw is obtained from 20:00 to 6:00. According to this example, the number of points given to the user 42 is greater when the user 42 provides power between 20:00 and 6:00 than when the user 42 provides power between 6:00 and 20:00. More. The division of the provision time of the point table 520 and the number of points per unit power may be arbitrarily set.

FIG. 5 schematically shows an example of the point table 530. In the point table 530, the number of points required for purchasing or reserving a seat ticket for each train boarding time is registered. The procedure execution unit 308 may execute the seat ticket purchase procedure or reservation procedure according to the point table 530.

In FIG. 5, a seat ticket used for boarding between 5:00 and 9:00 requires 10 points, and a seat ticket used for boarding between 9:00 and 17:00 requires 5 points, and 17:00. The case where 8 points are required for the seat ticket used for boarding between 1 and 0 o'clock is illustrated. According to this example, purchasing a seat ticket for boarding between 5 and 9 o'clock is more likely than purchasing a seat ticket for boarding between 9 and 17 o'clock. Many points are needed.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the operation management server 200 has been described with an example of updating the seat ticket points corresponding to the user 42, but the present invention is not limited to this. The update may be performed by the railway company server 300. FIG. 6 schematically shows an example of the railway company server 300 and the operation management server 200 in such a case.

FIG. 6 mainly describes the points different from those in FIG. The operation management server 200 has a power information acquisition unit 202, a user information acquisition unit 204, a demand response information acquisition unit 206, and a point update unit 218.

In the example shown in FIG. 6, the operation management server 200 assigns points (may be referred to as electric power points) according to the amount of electric power provided by the user 42. For example, the point update unit 218 informs the user 42 based on the power information acquired by the power information acquisition unit 202, the user information acquired by the user information acquisition unit 204, and the demand response information acquired by the demand response information acquisition unit 206. Update the corresponding power point.

The point update unit 218 may update the power point every time the power is supplied by the user 42. For example, when the user 42 provides power between 6:00 and 20:00, the point update unit 218 updates the corresponding power point between 6:00 and 20:00, and when power is provided between 20:00 and 6:00, the point update unit 218 updates the power point. Update the corresponding power point from 20:00 to 6:00.

The railway company server 300 has a point receiving unit 312, a user information acquisition unit 304, a point updating unit 316, a request information receiving unit 302, a point acquisition unit 306, and a procedure execution unit 308.

The point receiving unit 312 receives the power points corresponding to the user 42 from the operation management server 200. The point receiving unit 312 may receive the power points corresponding to the user 42 from the operation management server 200 according to a predetermined timing. Further, the point receiving unit 312 may receive the power point corresponding to the user 42 from the operation management server 200 in response to the request from the user terminal 400.

The point updating unit 316 updates the seat ticket points corresponding to the user 42 based on the power points received by the point receiving unit 312. The point updating unit 316 adds, for example, the power points received by the point receiving unit 312 to the seat ticket points corresponding to the user 42.

When the point receiving unit 312 receives the power points for each time zone when the power is supplied by the user 42, the point updating unit 316 weights each time zone to the seat ticket points corresponding to the user 42. Power points may be added. For example, the point update unit 316 adds the power points corresponding to 6 o'clock to 20:00 to the seat ticket points as they are, and doubles the power points corresponding to 20:00 to 6 o'clock and adds them to the seat ticket points.
