Information processing system and information processing method for matching a power-feeding vehicle and a selected area selected by a user of the power-feeding vehicle from a plurality of off-grid area

An information processing method performed by a server configured to communicate with a power-feeding vehicle and a plurality of area terminals that each manage power of a corresponding one of a plurality of off-grid areas, the information processing method comprising:

• transmitting information of the plurality of off-grid areas to the power-feeding vehicle;
• and
• when information of a selected area selected by a user of the power-feeding vehicle from the plurality of off-grid areas is received from the power-feeding vehicle, performing a matching process for matching the power-feeding vehicle and the selected area with each other, and transmitting, to the matched power-feeding vehicle, information instructing to feed power to the selected area,
• wherein the information of the plurality of off-grid areas includes information about an amount of reward to be obtained by the user of the power-feeding vehicle in response to the power being fed to each of the plurality of off-grid areas by the power-feeding vehicle, and
• wherein the server sets the amount of reward to a larger amount as a distance from the power-feeding vehicle to each of the off-grid areas is longer.

An information processing system comprising:

• a power-feeding vehicle;
• a plurality of area terminals that each manage power of a corresponding one of a plurality of off-grid areas;
• and
• a server configured to communicate with the power-feeding vehicle and the plurality of area terminals, wherein:
• the server transmits information of the plurality of off-grid areas to the power-feeding vehicle,
• when information of a selected area selected by a user of the power-feeding vehicle from the plurality of off-grid areas is received from the power-feeding vehicle, the server performs a matching process for matching the power-feeding vehicle and the selected area with each other, and transmits, to the matched power-feeding vehicle, information instructing to feed power to the selected area,
• the information of the plurality of off-grid areas includes information about a location of each of the plurality of off-grid areas,
• the information of the plurality of off-grid areas includes information for distinguishing whether each of the plurality of off-grid areas is located in an urban area or a rural area, and
• the server sets an amount of reward for feeding the power to an off-grid area in the rural area to an amount larger than an amount of reward for feeding the power to an off-grid area in the urban area.
