Apparatus and method for remaining-lp-gas display control

A remaining-LP-gas display control apparatus comprising:

• a consumption obtaining unit that obtains daily gas consumptions in a tank;
• a consumption predicting unit that predicts future daily gas consumptions for a set number of days such that each future gas consumption is predicted based on the latest gas consumption on the same day of the week included in the gas consumptions obtained by the consumption obtaining unit;
• a remaining-amount predicting unit that predicts the amounts of gas remaining in the tank by using the gas consumptions obtained by the consumption obtaining unit and the future gas consumptions for the set number of days predicted by the consumption predicting unit;
• a replacement date predicting unit that predicts, based on prediction by the remaining-amount predicting unit, a date on which the gas remaining in the tank will be used up;
• a location obtaining unit that obtains location information indicating a location where the tank is placed;
• and
• a display control unit that controls a display unit to display an image in which remaining-gas information indicating the number of days predicted to elapse before the gas remaining in the tank is used up is superimposed on the location of the tank by using the date, on which the gas remaining in the tank will be used up, predicted by the replacement date predicting unit and the location information obtained by the location obtaining unit.
