Abstract
A fueling information provision system includes a storage device, a CPU serving as an execution device, and a location information obtaining device that obtains a location of a vehicle. The storage device stores fuel nozzle data about a fuel nozzle color assigned to a fuel type used by the vehicle in each of predetermined regions. The CPU transmits a notification signal indicating that the fuel nozzle color has changed when the location of the vehicle obtained by the location information obtaining device has shifted from the first region to the second region.
Claims8
A fueling information provision system, comprising:
- a storage device;
- an execution device;
- and
- a location information obtaining device that obtains a location of a vehicle, wherein
- the storage device stores fuel nozzle data about a fuel nozzle color assigned to a fuel type used by the vehicle in each of predetermined regions,
- the regions include a first region where the fuel nozzle color is a first color and a second region where the fuel nozzle color is a second color that differs from the first color, and
- the execution device includes processing circuitry, wherein the processing circuitry is configured to transmit a notification signal indicating that the fuel nozzle color has changed when the location of the vehicle obtained by the location information obtaining device has shifted from the first region to the second region.
A method for providing fueling information, the method comprising:
- obtaining a location of a vehicle;
- and
- transmitting a notification signal indicating that a fuel nozzle color has changed when the location of the vehicle has shifted from a first region to a second region, wherein
- a fuel nozzle color is assigned to a fuel type used by the vehicle in each of predetermined regions,
- the first region is one of the regions where the fuel nozzle color is a first color, and
- the second region is another one of the regions where the fuel nozzle color is a second color that differs from the first color.
