Abstract
In a power storage pack, a power storage unit supplies electric power to an electric mobile body. A wireless communication unit performs short-range wireless communication. A notification unit presents, to a user of a mobile terminal device, a tentative notification of a verification code that is to be used in the process of exchanging an encryption key that is to be used for the short-range wireless communication with the mobile terminal device. The notification unit may include a remaining capacity display for the power storage unit.
Claims3
A power storage pack comprising:
- a storage battery configured to supply electric power to an electric mobile body;
- a short-range wireless communication module configured to perform short-range wireless communication;
- a display that temporarily notifies, to a user of a mobile terminal device, a verification code that is to be used in a process of exchanging an encryption key that is to be used for the short-range wireless communication with the mobile terminal device;
- an operation button configured to cause a remaining capacity display to display a remaining capacity of the storage battery;
- and
- a controller that manages the remaining capacity of the storage battery, wherein the display includes the remaining capacity display for the storage battery, the remaining capacity display includes a plurality of lamps among which a total number of lamps to be turned ON varies according to the remaining capacity of the storage battery,
- when the controller recognizes a first operation performed on the operation button, the controller causes the display to turn ON, among the plurality of lamps, a corresponding number of lamps for the remaining capacity of the storage battery,
- when the controller recognizes a second operation performed on the operation button, the controller causes the display to transition an ON OFF state of the plurality of lamps according to the verification code, and
- when the display notifies the verification code by way of the ON OFF state of the plurality of lamps, the controller sets one specific lamp as a position guide.
