Abstract
An information supply device includes an acquirer configured to acquire information regarding a degree of deterioration of a secondary battery for supplying travel power of a vehicle, a deriver configured to derive performance of the secondary battery based on the information acquired by the acquirer, and a display controller configured to cause a display to display an image indicating information regarding performance of the secondary battery, the performance indicated by the image being lower than the performance derived by the deriver.
Claims6
An information supply device comprising:
- an acquirer configured to acquire information regarding a degree of deterioration of a secondary battery for supplying travel power of a vehicle;
- a deriver configured to derive performance of the secondary battery based on the information acquired by the acquirer;
- and
- a display controller configured to cause a display to display an image indicating information regarding performance of the secondary battery, the performance indicated by the image being lower than the performance derived by the deriver,
- wherein
- the information regarding the degree of deterioration in the secondary battery comprises a battery capacity of the secondary battery or information for deriving the battery capacity, and
- the information regarding the performance of the secondary battery comprises a travelable distance of the vehicle,
- wherein
- the display controller is configured to:
- cause the display to display the travelable distance of the vehicle calculated based on the battery capacity in a case in which the battery capacity is less than an initial battery lower limit capacity;
- and
- cause the display to display the travelable distance of the vehicle calculated based on the initial battery lower limit capacity instead of the battery capacity in a case in which the battery capacity is equal to or greater than the initial battery lower limit capacity.
An information supply method comprising the steps of:
- acquiring, by a computer, information regarding a degree of deterioration of a secondary battery for supplying travel power of a vehicle;
- deriving, by the computer, performance of the secondary battery based on the acquired information;
- and
- causing, by the computer, a display to display an image indicating information regarding performance of the secondary battery, the performance indicated by the image being lower than the derived performance,
- wherein
- the information regarding the degree of deterioration in the secondary battery comprises a battery capacity of the secondary battery or information for deriving the battery capacity, and
- the information regarding the performance of the secondary battery comprises a travelable distance of the vehicle,
- wherein
- the causing of the display to display the image comprises:
- causing the display to display the travelable distance of the vehicle calculated based on the battery capacity in a case in which the battery capacity is less than an initial battery lower limit capacity;
- and
- causing the display to display the travelable distance of the vehicle calculated based on the initial battery lower limit capacity instead of the battery capacity in a case in which the battery capacity is equal to or greater than the initial battery lower limit capacity.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that stores computer executable program instructions by a computer to perform at least:
- acquiring information regarding a degree of deterioration of a secondary battery for supplying travel power of a vehicle;
- deriving performance of the secondary battery based on the acquired information;
- and
- causing a display to display an image indicating information regarding performance of the secondary battery, the performance indicated by the image being lower than the derived performance,
- wherein
- the information regarding the degree of deterioration in the secondary battery comprises a battery capacity of the secondary battery or information for deriving the battery capacity, and
- the information regarding the performance of the secondary battery comprises a travelable distance of the vehicle,
- wherein
- the causing of the display to display the image comprises:
- causing the display to display the travelable distance of the vehicle calculated based on the battery capacity in a case in which the battery capacity is less than an initial battery lower limit capacity;
- and
- causing the display to display the travelable distance of the vehicle calculated based on the initial battery lower limit capacity instead of the battery capacity in a case in which the battery capacity is equal to or greater than the initial battery lower limit capacity.
