As a result, the vehicle user Dr can purchase the vehicle 50 at a price obtained by subtracting the future battery price from the current price of the vehicle 50, thus reducing the burden on the vehicle user Dr when purchasing the vehicle 50. be able to.

Then, the future price of the drive battery is obtained based on the objective value of the degree of deterioration of the drive battery, not the price of the entire vehicle, and is subtracted from the current price of the vehicle to obtain the vehicle as the selling price. The forecast is easier than the forecast of the price of the entire vehicle.

After that, the vehicle sales price determination unit 111 determines the sales price determined by the vehicle sales price determination unit on the condition that the vehicle 50 having a predetermined degree of deterioration of the drive battery is returned to the vehicle seller CD after a predetermined period. Information indicating that the vehicle 50 has been sold to the vehicle user Dr at a price based on the above is recorded in the vehicle sales information DB 151 of the server storage unit 150 (FIG. 4 / S170), and the process is completed.

That is, for example, first, the vehicle sales price determination unit 111 accepts the input of the vehicle ID by the person in charge of the vehicle seller CD, refers to the vehicle characteristic DB 152, and refers to the vehicle current price, the battery list price, and the battery manufacturing time corresponding to the vehicle ID. Get information about.

Then, the return time determination unit 123 compares the acquired battery manufacturing time with the current date, and determines a predetermined period until the vehicle 50 is returned according to the length of the elapsed period from the battery manufacturing time. .. For example, if the original predetermined period is 3 years and the elapsed period from the manufacturing time of the battery is shorter than the predetermined threshold value, the predetermined period remains 3 years, but the elapsed time from the manufacturing time of the battery. When the period is longer than the predetermined threshold value, a simulation is performed by a predetermined calculation formula or the like, and a period shorter than the original predetermined period of 3 years is determined as the predetermined period.

Then, the battery future price determination unit 121 performs a simulation by a predetermined calculation formula or the like based on the acquired battery list price, information on the battery manufacturing time, and information on the predetermined period determined by the return time determination unit 123. To determine the future price of the battery. In this embodiment, the battery future price determination unit 121 determines that the future battery price for the vehicle user Dr whose vehicle user name is "OOOO" is 1 million yen.

Then, the vehicle sales price determination unit 111 determines 3 million yen, which is obtained by subtracting the future battery price of 1 million yen from the acquired vehicle current price of 4 million yen, as the vehicle sales price to the vehicle user Dr. There is.

After that, as shown in the record on the first line of FIG. 2A, the vehicle sales price determination unit 111 transfers the vehicle 50 having the drive battery of "0%" to the vehicle seller CD in "△ year × month 0 day". Information indicating that the vehicle 50 has been sold to the vehicle user Dr. "OOOO" at a price of "3 million yen" based on the selling price determined by the vehicle selling price determination department on condition that the vehicle is returned. Is recorded in the vehicle sales information DB 151 of the server storage unit 150.

<Vehicle repurchase process>
In the vehicle repurchase process, the deterioration degree recognition unit 115 first periodically or irregularly acquires information indicating the deterioration degree of the drive battery mounted on the vehicle 50 sold to the vehicle user Dr. The degree of deterioration of the drive battery is recognized based on the acquired information (FIG. 5 / S310).

The deterioration degree recognition unit 115 recognizes the deterioration state of the drive battery, for example, through the sensor constituting the server input unit 180 and the vehicle user information unit 30, or from the sensor provided in the vehicle 50 or the drive battery itself. The voltage, current, temperature, etc., which are the information for the operation, are acquired, and based on the acquired information, a simulation is performed by a predetermined calculation formula or the like to determine the degree of deterioration of the drive battery, for example, of a new battery. The ratio of the SOH of the drive battery as compared with the SOH when the SOH is 100% is recognized as an index such as "0%".

Then, when the recognized degree of deterioration of the drive battery approaches the degree of promised deterioration included in the conditions at the time of sale of the vehicle 50 by a predetermined degree or reaches the degree of promised deterioration (FIG. 5 / S330: Yes). ) Causes the vehicle user information unit 30 to output information prompting the vehicle user Dr to return the vehicle 50 to the vehicle seller CD (FIG. 5 / S370).

As a result, the vehicle user Dr is urged to return the vehicle 50 when a predetermined deteriorated state is approaching, so that the vehicle 50 can be returned with the drive battery in the predetermined deteriorated state mounted. The possibility is increased, and the vehicle user Dr can use the vehicle 50 equipped with the drive battery with a high sense of security.

In the figure on the left side of FIG. 6, the promised deterioration degree of a certain vehicle 50 is "80%", and the information MSG1 prompting the return when the promised deterioration degree approaches 2% is output to the vehicle user information unit 30. An example is shown in this case.

Alternatively, the return recommendation unit 125 puts the vehicle 50 on the vehicle seller CD when the predetermined period included in the conditions at the time of selling the vehicle 50 approaches a predetermined degree or when the predetermined period has elapsed (FIG. 5 / S350: Yes). The vehicle user information unit 30 is made to output information prompting the vehicle user Dr to return the vehicle (FIG. 5 / S370).

As a result, when the predetermined period is approaching, the vehicle user Dr is urged to return the vehicle 50, so that there is a possibility that the vehicle 50 can be returned with the drive battery in the predetermined deteriorated state installed. The number of vehicles increases, and the vehicle user Dr can use the vehicle 50 equipped with the drive battery with a high sense of security.

For example, the figure on the right side of FIG. 6 is an example in the case where the scheduled return date of a certain vehicle 50 is “Δyear × month 0 day”. The return recommendation unit 125 may output such information to the vehicle user information unit 30 a plurality of times, for example, three months ago or two months ago, instead of once.

Then, when the vehicle 50 sold to the vehicle user Dr is returned, the deterioration degree recognition unit 115 acquires information indicating the deterioration degree of the drive battery mounted on the vehicle 50, and the acquired information. The degree of deterioration of the drive battery is recognized based on (FIG. 5 / S390).

After that, the battery repurchase price determination unit 117 determines the battery repurchase price of the drive battery based on the recognized degree of deterioration (FIG. 5 / S410), and the vehicle repurchase price determination unit 119 determines the battery. The vehicle repurchase price, which is the price of the vehicle to be repurchased, is determined and output according to the difference between the future price and the battery repurchase price (Fig. 5 / S430).

That is, the battery repurchase price determination unit 117, for example, accepts the input of the vehicle user name and the vehicle ID, refers to the vehicle sales information DB based on the information, and determines the degree of promised deterioration of the vehicle 50 to be returned. The amount of incentive to be paid from the vehicle seller CD to the vehicle user Dr if the deterioration state of the drive battery recognized by the deterioration degree recognition unit 115 exceeds the promised deterioration degree after acquiring the value of the future battery price. If the deterioration state of the drive battery recognized by the deterioration degree recognition unit 115 is less than the promised deterioration degree, the amount of the penalty to be paid from the vehicle user Dr to the vehicle seller CD is calculated.

Then, the battery repurchase price determination unit 117 determines the amount obtained by adding the incentive amount to the acquired future battery price or the amount obtained by subtracting the penalty amount from the battery future price as the battery repurchase price.

Then, the vehicle repurchase price determination unit 119 accepts the input of the valuation amount of the portion other than the drive battery of the vehicle 50, and sets the incentive amount, which is the difference between the future battery price and the battery repurchase price, as the valuation amount. The amount added to the above or the amount of the penalty is deducted from the assessed amount to determine the vehicle repurchase price.

Then, the vehicle repurchase price determination unit 119 uses the determined vehicle repurchase price as the deducted vehicle repurchase price Pr4 as shown in FIG. 7, for example, by the printer constituting the server output unit 170, and the assessed amount of the vehicle excluding the battery. It is printed together with Pr1, the battery deterioration degree SOH1 of the sales condition, the battery future price Pr2, the deterioration degree SOH2 at the time of return, and the battery repurchase price Pr3, and is output to the vehicle seller CD and the vehicle user Dr.

As a result, the vehicle repurchase price is determined in consideration of the objective value of the degree of deterioration of the drive battery, so that both the vehicle user and the vehicle seller are satisfied with the vehicle repurchase price when the vehicle is released. Increase.

At this time, the used battery handler information output unit 127 acquires the used battery handler name of the used battery handler RD, which is the sales destination of the drive battery, from the server storage unit 150 based on the recognized degree of deterioration. Then, it is also output as used battery handler information RDI.

As a result, the information of the appropriate used battery handler RD according to the deteriorated state of the used battery 90 can be output, and the vehicle seller CD can find the appropriate used battery handler RD as the sales destination of the drive battery. Therefore, the sense of security that the repurchase price of the drive battery deducted from the price of the vehicle 50 can be recovered is increased.

<Battery reuse processing>
After that, after the vehicle 50 is returned to the vehicle seller CD, the drive battery mounted on the vehicle 50 is removed from the vehicle 50 and reused as a used battery 90. If there is no problem with the condition of the vehicle body, the vehicle 50 from which the drive battery has been removed will be equipped with a new drive battery and will be sold in the used car market.

The vehicle sales system, for example, accepts an operation on the server 10 by a person in charge of the used battery handler RD who has received a request for purchase of the used battery 90 from the used battery user Us, and starts the battery reuse process.

When the process is started, the sales information recording unit 113 records the information indicating that the used battery 90 has been sold to the used battery user Us in the used battery sales information DB 155 of the server 10 (FIG. 8 / S510).

Then, the deterioration degree recognition unit 115 periodically or irregularly acquires information indicating the deterioration degree of the used battery 90 sold to the used battery user Us, and the used battery is based on the acquired information. (Fig. 8 / S530).

The deterioration degree recognition unit 115 is a voltage that is information for recognizing the deterioration state of the used battery 90, for example, through a sensor constituting the used battery user information unit 70 or from a sensor provided in the used battery 90 itself. , Current, temperature, etc. are acquired, and based on these acquired information, a simulation is performed using a predetermined calculation formula or the like, and the degree of deterioration of the used battery 90 is set to, for example, 100% of the SOH of a new battery. The ratio of the SOH of the used battery 90 compared to the SOH of the above is recognized as an index such as "0%".

Then, when the degree of deterioration of the used battery 90 approaches a predetermined threshold or the degree of deterioration reaches the predetermined threshold (FIG. 8 / S550: Yes), the replacement recommendation unit 129 determines the used battery 90. The used battery user information unit 70 is made to output information prompting the used battery user Us to replace the battery (FIG. 8 / S610).

As a result, the used battery user Us is prompted to replace the used battery 90 when a predetermined deterioration state approaches, so that the used battery 90 can be replaced with a high sense of security that the battery can be replaced at an appropriate timing. It can be used.

Further, since the used battery user Us can purchase and use an inexpensive used battery 90 as a substitute for a new battery, the financial burden on the used battery user can be reduced.

Then, if the used battery 90 is replaced at an appropriate timing, the reuse of the used battery 90 is promoted and the used battery 90 is efficiently put on the market. Therefore, for the vehicle seller CD, the drive is deducted from the price of the vehicle 50. The sense of security that the repurchase price of the battery can be collected will increase, and the sense of security that the used battery 90 will be efficiently drained will increase for the used battery handler RD.

That is, for example, the replacement recommendation unit 129 acquires the information “〇%” indicating the degree of deterioration that recommends the replacement of the used battery 90 with reference to the table as shown in FIG. 2F, and the deterioration degree recognition unit 115 recognizes the deterioration. If the degree is "0%", it matches the value of the acquired degree of deterioration. Therefore, for example, as shown on the left side of FIG. 9, information MSG2 prompting the used battery user Us to replace the used battery 90. Is output to the used battery user information unit 70.

Further, the waste information acquisition unit 131 indicates that the degree of deterioration of the used battery 90 approaches a predetermined degree of deterioration that should dispose of the used battery, or the degree of deterioration reaches the degree of deterioration that should dispose of the used battery. (FIG. 8 / S550: Yes), the information for identifying the battery waste WT for discarding the used battery is acquired from the server storage unit 150, and the disposal recommendation unit 133 is the battery disposal acquired by the waste information acquisition unit 131. Information for identifying the person WT is output to the used battery user information unit (FIG. 8 / S590).

As a result, when the used battery 90 approaches the degree of deterioration that should be discarded, the used battery user Us and the used battery handler RD can obtain information on the used battery waste WT, so that the used battery 90 can be appropriately used. The used battery user Us can use the used battery, and the used battery handler RD can sell the used battery 90 with a high sense of security that it can be discarded and is environmentally friendly.

That is, for example, the waste information acquisition unit 131 acquires the information “Δ%” indicating the degree of deterioration that recommends the disposal of the used battery 90 by referring to the table as shown in FIG. 2F, and the degree of deterioration recognition unit 115 recognizes it. If the degree of deterioration is "△%", it matches the value of the obtained degree of deterioration. Therefore, further refer to the battery waste information DB 157 to obtain the battery waste name and contact information of the battery waste WT. get. Then, the disposal recommendation unit 133 prompts the used battery user Us to replace the used battery 90 with the information WTI including the acquired battery disposal user name and contact information, for example, as shown on the right side of FIG. The used battery user information unit 70 is output in accordance with the information MSG2.

As described above, according to the present invention, the burden on the vehicle user when purchasing a vehicle equipped with the drive battery is appropriately considered in consideration of the value of the drive battery when the vehicle is repurchased. It is possible to provide a vehicle sales system that can be effectively reduced.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited thereto. Various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

For example, the sales information recording unit 113 acquires information indicating a mileage in which the drive battery of the vehicle is estimated to have a predetermined degree of deterioration when the vehicle 50 is sold, and the vehicle 50 uses the vehicle. The information indicating that the product has been sold to the person Dr may be included in the information and recorded in the server storage unit 150.

Alternatively, for example, the vehicle characteristic DB 152 may include information such as the type, model, and charging capacity of the drive battery. Further, the used battery handler DB 153 may include information such as the type, model, and charging capacity of the used battery 90 to be purchased. In this case, the used battery handler information output unit 127 acquires information for identifying the used battery handler RD to which the drive battery is sold from the server storage unit 150 based on this information, if necessary. And output.

Alternatively, for example, the degree of deterioration recognition unit 115 periodically or periodically provides information indicating the history of use of the drive battery mounted on the vehicle 50 (for example, the number of times of charging / discharging, the amount of charging in each charging / discharging and the time required). It is acquired irregularly and stored in the server storage unit 150 for each vehicle 50. For example, the server output unit 170, the vehicle user information unit 30, the used battery user information unit 70, the vehicle seller information unit Dev1, and the used vehicle. It may be configured so that it can be output to the battery handler information unit Dev2 at any time.
