Abstract

An influence degree display device includes an acquirer configured to acquire information regarding magnitude of an influence factor that has an influence on progress of deterioration of a secondary cell that stores power used to drive an electric motor vehicle a display configured to display an image and a display controller configured to cause the display to display an image indicating the degree of influence on the progress of the deterioration of the secondary cell in accordance with the acquired magnitude of the influence factor.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An influence degree display device comprising:
a display;
a memory; and
a central processing unit connected to the memory, the central processing unit being configured to:
acquire, based on sensor data associated with one or more sensor device, first information regarding magnitude of a plurality of influence factors that have an influence on progress of deterioration of a secondary cell that stores power used to drive an electric motor vehicle; and
cause the display to display first image indicating a degree of influence on the progress of the deterioration of the secondary cell in accordance with the acquired magnitude of the plurality of influence factors, the first image also indicating a maximum influence factor, among the plurality of influence factors, that has most influence on the progress of deterioration of the secondary cell, the first image being displayed, on the display, along with second information that relates to the maximum influence factor,
wherein the central processing unit is configured to display the first image and the second information on the display without displaying second image that indicates an influence factor other than the maximum influence factor.

2. The influence degree display device according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of influence factors are obtained by digitizing content of a driving operation by a driver of the electric motor vehicle.

3. The influence degree display device according to claim 1 , wherein one of the plurality of influence factors is a power storage amount of the secondary cell.

4. The influence degree display device according to claim 1 , wherein one of the plurality of influence factors is a temperature of the secondary cell.

5. The influence degree display device according to claim 1 , wherein the first image indicates that which predetermined operation the maximum influence factor is based on.

6. The influence degree display device according to claim 1 , wherein the central processing unit is configured to cause the display to display the first image by changing a display color of the first image in accordance with the magnitude of the maximum influence factor.

7. The influence degree display device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the central processing unit is configured to predict a future remaining value of the secondary cell, and
wherein the central processing unit is configured to cause the display to display third image which is based on the future remaining value of the secondary cell.

8. The influence degree display device according to claim 7 , wherein, in a case where an operation is performed on a remaining value display switch, the central processing unit is configured to cause the display to display the third image along with the first image.

9. An influence degree display method using a computer, comprising:
acquiring, based on sensor data associated with one or more sensor device, first information regarding magnitude of a plurality of influence factors that have an influence on progress of deterioration of a secondary cell that stores power used to drive an electric motor vehicle; and
causing a display to display first image indicating a degree of influence on the progress of the deterioration of the secondary cell in accordance with the acquired magnitude of the plurality of influence factors, the first image also indicating a maximum influence factor, among the plurality of influence factors, that has most influence on the progress of deterioration of the secondary cell, the first image being displayed, on the display, along with second information that relates to the maximum influence factor,
wherein the first image and the second information are displayed on the display without displaying second image that indicates an influence factor other than the maximum influence factor.

10. A computer-readable non-transitory storage medium that stores a program causing a computer:
to acquire, based on sensor data associated with one or more sensor device, first information regarding magnitude of a plurality of influence factors that have an influence on progress of deterioration of a secondary cell that stores power used to drive an electric motor vehicle; and
to cause a display to display first image indicating a degree of influence on the progress of the deterioration of the secondary cell in accordance with the acquired magnitude of the plurality of influence factors, the first image also indicating a maximum influence factor, among the plurality of influence factors, that has most influence on the progress of deterioration of the secondary cell, the first image being displayed, on the display, along with second information that relates to the maximum influence factor,
wherein the first image and the second information are displayed on the display without displaying second image that indicates an influence factor other than the maximum influence factor.
