Abstract
A power-supply management device for service modules applied to a service module installed vehicle includes a vehicle state recognition unit that recognizes a state of a vehicle in which service modules are interchangeably installed, a service module identification unit that identifies a type of the service modules currently installed in the vehicle, and a power-supply management processing unit that is capable of executing, for each of the service modules, power-supply management processing of managing power supply to the service module individually based on the state of the vehicle recognized by the vehicle state recognition unit and the type of the service module identified by the service module identification unit.
Claims17
A power-supply management device for service modules, comprising:
- a vehicle state recognition unit that recognizes a state of a vehicle in which a plurality of service modules are interchangeably installed;
- a service module identification unit that identifies a type of the service modules currently installed in the vehicle;
- and
- a power-supply management processing unit that is capable of executing, for each of the service modules, power-supply management processing of managing power supply to the service module individually based on the state of the vehicle recognized by the vehicle state recognition unit and the type of the service module identified by the service module identification unit, wherein
- the vehicle is capable of recombining with various combinations of the installed plurality of the service modules,
- the service module identification unit identifies a type of each of the plurality of the service modules installed in the vehicle individually, and
- in the power-supply management processing, the power-supply management processing unit executes, for each of the service modules, the power-supply management processing of managing power supply to the service module individually based on the state of the vehicle recognized by the vehicle state recognition unit and the type of the plurality of the service modules identified by the service module identification unit, and distributes and supplies electric power from a power source to each of the plurality of the service modules.
A service module installed vehicle, comprising:
- a plurality of module installation parts in which service modules are interchangeably installed;
- a power source that is capable of supplying electric power to the service modules;
- and
- a power-supply management device for service modules that manages power supply from the power source to the service modules, wherein
- the power-supply management device for service modules includes
- a vehicle state recognition unit that recognizes a state of own vehicle in which the plurality of the module installation parts, the power source, and the power-supply management device for service modules are installed,
- a service module identification unit that identifies types of the service modules currently installed in the own vehicle, and
- a power-supply management processing unit that is capable of executing, for each of the service modules, power-supply management processing of managing power supply to the service module individually based on the state of the own vehicle recognized by the vehicle state recognition unit and the type of the service module identified by the service module identification unit, wherein
- the own vehicle is capable of recombining with various combinations of the plurality of the service modules installed in the plurality of the module installation parts,
- the service module identification unit identifies a type of each of the plurality of the service modules installed in the plurality of the module installation parts individually, and
- in the power-supply management processing, the power-supply management processing unit executes, for each of the plurality of the service modules, the power-supply management processing of managing power supply to the service module individually based on the state of the own vehicle recognized by the vehicle state recognition unit and the type of the plurality of the service modules identified by the service module identification unit, and distributes and supplies electric power from the power source to each of the plurality of the service modules.
