Abstract
An electronic device includes: an acquiring part that acquires a state of charge of a battery that is electrically connected to a motor performing recovery power generation and is charged by the motor, and a control part that controls the driving of a heater that raises the temperature of a catalyst of an after-treatment device that purifies exhaust gas discharged from an engine. The control part drives the heater so that the heater is heated by the electric power of the battery if the state of charge of the battery acquired by the acquiring part is equal to or greater than a first threshold.
Claims7
An electronic device comprising:
- an acquiring part that acquires a state of charge of a battery that is electrically connected to a generator performing recovery power generation and is charged by the generator;
- and
- a control part that controls driving of a heater that raises a temperature of a catalyst of an after-treatment device that purifies exhaust gas discharged from an engine, wherein
- the control part controls the heater so that the heater is heated by electric power of the battery if a state of charge of the battery acquired by the acquiring part is equal to or greater than a first threshold.
A control method, executed by a computer, for controlling driving of a heater that raises a temperature of a catalyst of an after-treatment device that purifies exhaust gas discharged from an engine;
- comprising:
- acquiring a state of charge of a battery that is electrically connected to a generator performing recovery power generation and is charged by the generator;
- and
- driving the heater so that the heater is heated by electric power of the battery if an acquired state of charge of the battery is equal to or greater than a first threshold.
