Abstract
According to one embodiment, an information processing device reserves power stations to charge a battery of an electric vehicle. The device includes: a reception section configured to receive first information, second information, and third information; a first search section configured to search for a recommended route to the destination; a second search section configured to search for the power stations; a first determination section configured to determine whether or not the battery needs to be charged; and a reservation section configured to reserve a power station without waiting for a command from a user.
Claims14
An information processing device which makes a reservation of a power station to charge a battery of an electric vehicle, the device comprising:
- a reception section configured to receive first information indicating a remaining battery charge of the electric vehicle, second information indicating a destination, and third information indicating a route to the destination;
- a first search section configured to search for a recommended route to the destination, based at least on the second information and the third information;
- a second search section configured to search for a power station located on a way to the destination;
- a first determination section configured to determine whether or not the battery needs to be charged before arriving at the destination, based on the first information and the recommended route that has been found;
- and
- a reservation section configured to, when the first determination section determines that the battery needs to be charged, reserve a power station found by the second search section, without waiting for a command from a user.
An information processing device which makes a reservation of a power station to charge a battery of an electric vehicle, the device comprising:
- an entry section configured to enter first information indicating a first ride scheduled duration of a first ride reservation for the electric vehicle, and second information indicating a remaining battery charge at a time of riding;
- a first determination section configured to determine whether or not the battery needs to be charged within the first ride scheduled duration, based on the second information;
- and
- a reservation section configured to make a reservation of a power station when the first determination section determines that the battery needs to be charged, without waiting for a command from a user.
An information processing device which makes a reservation of a power station to charge a battery of an electric vehicle, the device comprising:
- a control section configured to search for a route to a destination and to make a reservation for a power station located on the route;
- and
- a display section configured to display the route,
- wherein the display section is further configured:
- to display a plurality of power stations on the found route to the destination as candidate power stations, and a first recommended power station of the power stations;
- to display a temporary reservation having been made for the first recommended power station, and a prompt for an approval of switching the temporary reservation to a finalized reservation;
- and
- to display, when receiving the approval, the route with the first recommended power station for which the temporary reservation has been switched to a finalized reservation.
An information processing method to make a reservation of power stations charging a battery of an electric vehicle, the method comprising:
- receiving first information indicating a remaining battery charge of the electric vehicle, second information indicating a destination, and third information indicating a route to the destination;
- searching for a recommended route to the destination, based at least on the second information and the third information;
- searching for a power station located on a way to the destination;
- determining whether or not the battery needs to be charged before arriving at the destination, based on the first information and the recommended route;
- and
- reserving the power station when it is determined that the battery needs to be charged, without waiting for a command from a user.
An information processing program product to make a reservation of a power station charging a battery of an electric vehicle, the program product, when being executed by a processor, causing the processor to:
- receive first information indicating a remaining battery charge of the electric vehicle, second information indicating a destination, and third information indicating a route to the destination;
- search for a recommended route to the destination, based at least on the second information and the third information;
- search for a power station located on a way to the destination;
- determine whether or not the battery needs to be charged before arriving at the destination, based on the first information and the recommended route;
- and
- when it is determined that the battery needs to be charged, reserve the power station, without waiting for a command from a user.
