Electrical charging/discharging control apparatus, electric-power management apparatus, electric-power management method and electric-power management system

An electric-power management apparatus comprising:

• a communication section configured to receive electric-power accumulation information showing the amount of electric power accumulated in an electric-power accumulation battery from an electrical-charging/discharging control apparatus of an electric-power accumulation facility that controls electric charging and discharging of the electric-power accumulation battery;
• and
• a point issuance section configured to issue transactionable points, which correspond to an amount shown by the electric-power accumulation information as the amount of electric power accumulated in the electric-power accumulation battery, to an owner of the electric-power accumulation facility,
• wherein the communication section and the point issuance section are each implemented via at least one processor.

An electric-power management system comprising

• an electrical-charging/discharging control apparatus;
• and
• an electric-power management apparatus,
• the electrical-charging/discharging control apparatus being of an electric-power accumulation facility that controls electric charging and discharging of an electric-power accumulation battery, wherein the electric-charging/discharging control apparatus comprises:
