This has a function of determining which one of the low-speed charging modes using the limited charging current is used.
- the chargeability detection unit may be identified by notifying that it has changed to a chargeable state. Further, the charging mode may be determined based on at least one of the charging amount of the secondary battery and the charging history information 1022.
- f (n) becomes a larger number when the possibility of receiving power at the time n is higher. That is, low speed charging is performed during a normal charging period. Further, when the amount of charge is extremely low, normal charging may be performed even if it is a time zone in which low-speed charging is possible. Further, the determination based on the charge amount can be omitted.
- the charging mode determination unit 1184 can switch the charging mode according to the user's operation regardless of the above determination. It is assumed that the user normally charges the electronic device 100 from 9 am to 17:00 when he leaves the office. Therefore, the charging mode determination unit 1184 determines to use the low speed charging mode. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 4, the output unit 104 displays a message 1042 that notifies the charging mode and the estimated charging end time. However, for example, when the user has a plan to go out on the day and needs to complete the charging as soon as possible, the user clicks after confirming the message 1042 and switches the charging mode on a mode switching screen (not shown).

That is, the charging current setting unit 1188 sets a predetermined normal charging current in the charging unit 116 when the charging mode is the normal charging mode. In addition, when the charging mode is the low-speed charging mode, the charging current setting unit 1188 calculates a limited charging current and sets the limiting charging current in the charging unit 116.

- the start of charging may be detected by, for example, notifying the control unit 118 that the charge availability detection unit 110 is in a chargeable state. Further, for example, charging may be started by an internal process of the electronic device 100.
- the charging mode determination unit 1184 issues an instruction to the time information acquisition unit 108 and the measurement unit 112 to acquire the time information and the charge amount (S102). Then, the charging mode determination unit 1184 determines whether or not the charging amount is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold (S104). Here, it is desirable that the predetermined threshold is a sufficiently low value. This is because this determination corresponds to a case where it is desirable to perform normal charging when the amount of charge is low enough to affect the operation of the electronic device 100. Then, the charging mode determination unit 1184 determines whether the time at the start of charging matches the daily charging time zone from the acquired time information (S106). Here, whether or not it coincides with the daily charging time zone may be determined by comparing f (n) with the threshold value e when using Equation 1, as described above.
- the charging mode determination unit 1184 determines that the charging mode is the low speed charging mode.
- the chargeable time estimation unit 1186 estimates the chargeable time (S108).
- the chargeable time refers to a table that stores charge history information, and f (n + 1), f (n + 2). You may determine the area which becomes e or more as a chargeable time.
- the charging current setting unit calculates a limit charging current using the estimated chargeable time and the amount of charge acquired in step S102, and sets it in the charging unit 116 (S110).
- the charging unit 116 starts charging using the set limited charging current (S112). And the control part 118 determines whether charge was completed using the information from the charging part 116 (S114).
- the completion of charging means that the secondary battery 114 has been charged to the full charge capacity (or almost full charge capacity).
- the end of charging includes the termination of the electronic device 100 from the external power supply 50.
- step S114 When it is determined in step S114 that the charging is completed, the control unit 118 provides feedback to the chargeable time calculation algorithm (S116). That is, in the case of step S116, since the charging is completed within the chargeable time, the threshold value e may be lowered.
- step S118 determines whether or not the external power supply is removed. If it is determined in step S118 that the external power supply is not removed, the process returns to step S102. If it is determined in step S118 that the external power supply has been removed, feedback is performed to the chargeable time calculation algorithm (S120). That is, in the case of step S120, the threshold e may be increased because the charging is completed without being completed within the chargeable time.
- the charge mode is determined.
- Unit 1184 determines that the charging mode is the normal charging mode.
- the charging current setting unit 1188 sets a predetermined normal charging current in the charging unit 116.
- the charging unit 116 starts normal charging using the normal charging current.
- the control unit 118 monitors the charge state of the secondary battery 114 and determines whether or not the charge is completed (S126). If the charging is completed, the control unit 118 ends the charging. If the charging is not completed, the control unit 118 determines whether or not the external power supply 50 is removed (S128).
- the charging current can be made variable based on the amount of charge and the chargeable time at the start of charging. For example, when charging is started in a time zone different from the normal charging time zone, charging is performed to a certain high speed using a normal charging current. Then, when charging is started during the normal charging time, charging is performed slowly using a charging current that is more limited than usual.
- the user can know the charging mode currently used and the time when charging is finished, When the mode needs to be changed, the charging mode can be switched.
- the electronic device 100 automatically controls charging when living in the same pattern.

- the secondary battery is greatly deteriorated by repeated charging and discharging in a state close to a fully charged state. Therefore, it is originally desirable for the secondary battery that the secondary battery is not charged up to the maximum charge capacity for the characteristics of the secondary battery. Therefore, the electronic device 200 according to the present embodiment can collect the statistics of the amount of power that the user uses every day, and can limit the charging capacity.

次に、本発明の第2の実施形態に係る電子機器200の充電制御の概要について図6及び図7を用いて図2と比較しながら説明する。図6は、本実施形態に係る電子機器200の充電方法を説明する説明図である。また、図7は、本実施形態に係る電子機器200の充電方法の例外時の挙動について説明する説明図である。
次に、以上説明してきた充電制御を行うための本発明の第2の実施形態にかかる電子機器200の構成について、図8を用いて説明する。図8は、本実施形態に係る電子機器200の構成を示すブロック図である。
次に、電子機器200の動作について図9を用いて説明する。図9は、本実施形態に係る電子機器200の充電動作を示すフローチャートである。
以上説明してきた本発明の第2の実施形態に係る電子機器200を用いると、第1の実施形態において説明した効果に加えて以下のような効果がある。
上記の第1実施形態及び第2実施形態においては、電子機器に内蔵された二次電池の充電を制御する電子機器について説明してきた。第3実施形態においては、充電を制御する装置の内部に二次電池が内蔵されていない例について説明する。なお、以下の説明中において、電子機器400は、電子機器400内部の制御部による充電制御が、インタフェース部420を介して接続される外部の充電制御装置500による充電制御となった点においてのみ第2の実施形態と異なる。以下、相違点について主に説明する。
図11を参照すると、本発明の第3実施形態に係る充電制御装置500は、電子機器400に内蔵された二次電池の充電を制御する機能を有する。電子機器400は、充電制御装置500の制御に従って、外部電源50から供給される電力を用いて内蔵される二次電池に充電を行う。このとき、充電制御装置500は、1又は2以上の電子機器400に内蔵された二次電池の充電を制御することができる。
充電制御装置500は、電子機器400に内蔵された二次電池414の充電を制御する機能を有する装置である。充電制御装置500は、制御部518とインタフェース部520とを主に有する。
制御部518は、充電制御装置500の動作全般を制御する機能を有する。例えば、制御部518は、CPUなどによって実現される。そして、制御部518は、情報取得部5181、充電容量設定部5183、充電モード決定部5184、充電時間帯決定部5186、及び充電電流設定部5188として機能すると共に、これら各機能の動作全般を制御する充電制御部としての機能も有する。
情報取得部5181は、二次電池414の充電の制御のための情報、即ち、二次電池414の充電及び放電に関する情報を取得する機能を有する。情報取得部5181は、電子機器400から充電履歴情報4022を含む充電及び放電に関する情報を取得することができる。また、情報取得部5181は、対象とする二次電池414の充電及び放電に関する情報だけではなく、他の電子機器400やネットワーク上の各種機器から情報を取得してもよい。ここで、情報取得部5181が取得する「二次電池の充電及び放電に関する情報」とは、二次電池の充電及び放電の履歴情報、二次電池により駆動される電子機器の利用履歴に関する情報、二次電池の充電量の情報、又は二次電池の充電及び放電に関する予定情報が含まれていてもよい。例えば、電子機器400が電気自動車である場合には、電気自動車のユーザのPCに登録された外出予定の情報も、この充電及び放電に関する情報となり得る。即ち、二次電池の充電及び放電に関する情報は、二次電池により駆動される電子機器のユーザに関するスケジュール情報を含んでもよい。
充電容量設定部5183は、情報取得部5181の取得する情報に基づいて、二次電池414が次に充電されるまでの放電量を推定し、推定した放電量に応じて充電容量を制限された制限充電容量に設定する機能を有する。制御部518は、この制限充電容量が設定されている場合には、二次電池414の充電量が制限充電容量に達した場合に、充電を終了する。
充電モード決定部5184は、充電を開始するときに、所定の通常充電電流を用いる通常充電モードと、算出された制限充電電流を用いる低速充電モードと、のいずれの充電モードを用いるかを決定する機能を有する。充電モードは、二次電池414の充電量、充電履歴情報4022、又はユーザの操作情報のいずれかに基づいて決定される。
充電時間帯決定部5186は、情報取得部5181により取得される情報に基づいて、二次電池414を充電する充電時間帯を決定する機能を有する。この充電時間帯決定部5186は、第1の実施形態における充電可能時間推定部1186の機能に加えて、この充電可能時間の間で実際に充電に用いる時間帯を決定する機能を有する。すなわち、充電時間帯決定部5186は、充電履歴情報に基づいて推定される二次電池414と充電部416とが接続されている時間帯から充電時間帯を決定する。特に、充電制御装置500が充電を制御する対象となる二次電池414が複数ある場合には、充電可能時間の全てを当該二次電池414の充電のために用いることが好ましくない場合がある。このため、充電時間帯決定部5186は、充電可能時間の中から充電時間帯を決定することができる。このとき、充電時間帯決定部5186は、複数の二次電池414の充電及び放電に関する情報に基づいて、それぞれの二次電池414の充電時間帯を決定することができる。或いは、充電時間帯決定部は、二次電池414に充電される電力の供給に関する情報に基づいて充電時間帯を決定してもよい。例えば、上述した夜間電気料金が昼間の電気料金よりも安い場合に、充電時間帯決定部5186は、充電可能時間の中でも、夜間電気料金が適用される優先時間帯を充電時間帯としてもよい。
充電電流設定部5188は、二次電池414に充電するための充電電流を充電部416に設定する機能を有する。充電電流設定部5188は、直接充電部416に充電電流を設定してもよいし、電子機器400の制御部418に充電電流を設定するよう要求するメッセージを送信することにより充電部416に充電電流を設定してもよい。充電電流設定部5188は、充電可能時間帯決定部5186により決定される充電時間帯内に充電容量まで充電する制限充電電流を算出し、この制限充電電流を二次電池414に充電するための受電電流として充電部416に設定する。充電電流設定部5188は、充電制御装置500が複数の二次電池414の充電を制御する場合には、複数の二次電池の充電電流の合計が平滑化されるように制限充電電流を決定してもよい。また、充電電流設定部5188は、二次電池414に充電される電力の供給に関する情報に基づいて充電電流を決定してもよい。
インタフェース部520は、充電制御装置500が外部の装置と接続するためのインタフェースである。例えば、インタフェース部520は、ケーブルにより電子機器400のインタフェース部420と接続するためのインタフェースであってもよい。又は、インタフェース部520は、外部の装置と通信するための有線又は無線の通信インタフェースであってもよい。
以上説明した第3実施形態に係る充電制御装置500は、二次電池414を内蔵する複数の電子機器400と接続することにより、それぞれの二次電池414の充電を制御することができる。このとき、二次電池414それぞれの充電及び放電に関する情報だけでなく、他の装置についての充電及び放電に関する情報に基づいて、それぞれの充電は制御される。
次に、図13及び図14を参照しながら、本発明の第4実施形態に係る充電制御装置600について説明する。
図13を参照すると、充電制御装置600は、1又は2以上の二次電池614と接続され、外部電源50から供給される電力の二次電池614への充電を制御する機能を有する。
図14を参照すると、充電制御装置600は、記憶部602と、出力部604と、操作部600と、時刻情報取得部608と、計測部612と、接続部622と、充電部616と、制御部618と、インタフェース部620とを主に有する。
接続部622は、二次電池614と充電制御装置600とを接続する機能を有する。接続部622は、二次電池614と充電制御装置600とを電気的に接続する端子の役割を有する。
情報取得部6181は、二次電池614の充電制御のための情報を取得する機能を有する。情報取得部6181は、充電制御装置600内部の情報又は、インタフェース部620を介して取得することのできる充電制御装置600外部の情報を取得することができる。情報取得部6181が取得する情報の具体例は、第3実施形態において説明した情報取得部5181が取得する情報と同様である。
次に、この充電制御装置600の充電制御の具体例について、図15及び図16を参照しながら説明する。図15は、充電対象の二次電池614が電気自動車にて用いられる場合の充電制御に用いる情報の一例を示す説明図である。
