Abstract
A predicted energy consumption calculation unit calculates, when an on-vehicle apparatus of a rental vehicle is operated during the period of depositing an article in a deposit space of the rental vehicle, a predicted energy consumption that is a predicted value of the amount of energy consumed by the on-vehicle apparatus. A rentable period determination unit determines a rentable period of the deposit space on the basis of the predicted energy consumption calculated by the predicted energy consumption calculation unit.
Claims6
A rental system supporting a service of renting out a housing part of a vehicle as a deposit space for an article, comprising:
- a predicted energy consumption calculation unit for calculating, when an on-vehicle apparatus of the vehicle is operated during the period of depositing an article in the housing part, a predicted energy consumption being a predicted value of the amount of energy consumed by the on-vehicle apparatus;
- and
- a rentable period determination unit for determining a rentable period of the housing part based on the predicted energy consumption calculated by the predicted energy consumption calculation unit.
