analyze value information of the secondary battery on the basis of the secondary battery information and request information from a secondary-use-related user who uses the secondary battery; and provide provision information about a sale of the secondary battery on the basis of the value information of the secondary battery, wherein the processor analyzes the required number of secondary batteries and a purchase price according to each of a region and a state rank of the secondary battery on the basis of position information and a purchase request of the secondary-use-related user, wherein the state rank is derived by a degradation of a charge capacity of the secondary battery. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein the processor analyzes a change in a value of the secondary battery according to the elapse of time. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein the processor provides a user of the vehicle with a usage method for limiting deterioration in the secondary battery. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein the processor provides a user of the vehicle with information about a timing when the secondary battery is sold. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein the processor provides the provision information to the vehicle at a prescribed timing. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein the processor further executes instructions to: display an image including the provision information, wherein the processor causes a display mode of the image, which is displayed on a plurality of displays, to differ in accordance with a state of the vehicle or a situation of an operation of an occupant on the vehicle. ### Claim 7 An information processing method comprising: acquiring, by a computer, secondary battery information about a secondary battery transmitted from a vehicle equipped with the secondary battery storing electric power for traveling; analyzing, by the computer, value information of the secondary battery on the basis of the acquired secondary battery information and request information from a secondary-use-related user who uses the secondary battery; providing, by the computer, provision information about a sale of the secondary battery on the basis of the analyzed value information of the secondary battery; and analyzing, by the computer, the required number of secondary batteries and a purchase price according to each of a region and a state rank of the secondary battery on the basis of position information and a purchase request of the secondary-use-related user, analyzing, by the computer, value information of the secondary battery on the basis of how many batteries of which state rank are insufficient in the associated region for classified request information, wherein the state rank is derived by a degradation of a charge capacity of the secondary battery. ### Claim 8 A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that stores a program to be executed by a computer to perform at least: acquire secondary battery information about a secondary battery transmitted from a vehicle equipped with the secondary battery storing electric power for traveling; analyze value information of the secondary battery on the basis of the acquired secondary battery information and request information from a secondary-use-related user who uses the secondary battery; provide provision information about a sale of the secondary battery on the basis of the analyzed value information of the secondary battery; and analyze the required number of secondary batteries and a purchase price according to each of a region and a state rank of the secondary battery on the basis of position information and a purchase request of the secondary-use-related user, wherein the state rank is derived by a degradation of a charge capacity of the secondary battery. ### Claim 9 An information processing device comprising: a processor that executes instructions to: acquire secondary battery information about a secondary battery transmitted from a vehicle equipped with the secondary battery storing electric power for traveling; analyze value information of the secondary battery on the basis of the secondary battery information and request information from a secondary-use-related user who uses the secondary battery; provide provision information about a sale of the secondary battery on the basis of the value information of the secondary battery; and display an image including the provision information, wherein the processor causes a display mode of the image, which is displayed on a plurality of displays, to differ in accordance with a state of the vehicle or a situation of an operation of an occupant on the vehicle, wherein the processor analyzes the value information of the secondary battery according to each of a region and a state rank of the secondary battery on the basis of position information and a purchase request of the secondary-use-related user, wherein the state rank is derived by a degradation of a charge capacity of the secondary battery.
