Abstract
A moving body includes: a detection unit configured to detect a peripheral situation of the moving body; a heating unit configured to be capable of heating a component of the moving body that is positioned in a detection range of the detection unit; a power receiving unit configured to receive power from an external power supply apparatus of the moving body; and a control unit configured to, when the power receiving unit receives power from the power supply apparatus, control the heating unit so as to be in an operation state.
Claims12
A moving body comprising:
- a detection unit configured to detect a peripheral situation of the moving body;
- a heating unit configured to be capable of heating a component of the moving body that is positioned in a detection range of the detection unit;
- a power receiving unit configured to receive power from an external power supply apparatus of the moving body;
- and
- a control unit configured to, when an ignition is off and the power receiving unit receives power from the power supply apparatus, control the heating unit so as to be in an operation state,
- wherein when the ignition is off and the power receiving unit receives power from the power supply apparatus, the control unit starts a processing for operating the heating unit at a predetermined time based on an estimated time of use of the body.

- a heating unit configured to be capable of heating a component of the moving body that is positioned in a detection range of the detection unit;
- a power receiving unit configured to receive power from an external power supply apparatus of the moving body;
- and
- a control unit configured to, when an ignition is off and the power receiving unit receives power from the power supply apparatus, control the heating unit so as to be in an operation state,
- wherein
- the control unit is configured to determine whether the heating unit needs to be operated,
- when the control unit determines that the heating unit needs to be operated and the power receiving unit receives power from the power supply apparatus, the control unit controls the heating unit so as to be in the operation state,
- when the control unit determines that the heating unit needs to be operated and the power supply apparatus does not supply power under a state in which the power receiving unit can receive power from the power supply apparatus, the control unit instructs the power supply apparatus to supply power, and
- when the control unit determines that the heating unit needs to be operated and the power supply apparatus does not supply power under a state in which the power receiving unit cannot receive power from the power supply apparatus, the control unit issues a notification to a user to prompt power supply.
