Charging control apparatus, charging control method, and computer program implementing such

A charging control apparatus mounted on a vehicle to which each of a plurality of charging apparatuses supplies electric power through a predetermined power supplying path, wherein

• the charging control apparatus is configured to output signal, which is used to perform pairing between the vehicle and one of the plurality of charging apparatuses, based on a detection result of a first electric power having predetermined power pattern, the first electric power is supplied from the one of the plurality of charging apparatuses to the vehicle via the predetermined power supplying path,
• the charging control apparatus is configured to transmit, via wireless communication, a request for starting the pairing to another charging control apparatus which controls the plurality of charging apparatuses, the request allows at least one charging apparatus to supplies the first electric power to the vehicle.

A charging control apparatus mounted on one of a plurality of charging apparatuses, each of the plurality of charging apparatuses being configured to be capable of supplying electric power to a vehicle through a predetermined power supplying path, wherein

• the charging control apparatus is configured to supply a first electric power having predetermined power pattern to the vehicle via the predetermined power supplying path such that pairing between the vehicle and the one of the plurality of charging apparatuses is performed based on a signal outputted from the vehicle which detects the first electric power,
• the charging control apparatus is configured to supply the first electric power to the vehicle after another charging control apparatus which controls the plurality of charging apparatuses receives, via wireless communication, a request for starting the pairing, the request allows at least one charging apparatus to supplies the first electric power to the vehicle.
