Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A power supply/reception matching device includes a communicator, an acquirer configured to acquire a power reception request or a power supply request including information for identifying a type and a charge rate of a battery through the communicator, a matching processor configured to match a power supplying vehicle and a power receiving vehicle on the basis of the power reception request and the power supply request acquired by the acquirer, and a guider configured to cause the communicator to transmit a processing result from the matching process to devices of transmitters of the power reception request and the power supply request.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A power supply/reception matching device comprising: a communicator; an acquirer configured to acquire a power reception request or a power supply request including information for identifying a type and a charge rate of a battery through the communicator; a matching processor configured to match a power supplying vehicle and a power receiving vehicle on the basis of the power reception request and the power supply request acquired by the acquirer; and a guider configured to cause the communicator to transmit a processing result from the matching processor to devices of transmitters of the power reception request and the power supply request, wherein the matching processor is further configured to match the power supplying vehicle and the power receiving vehicle on the basis of at least one of a material of a battery or voltage characteristics of a battery mounted in each of the power supplying vehicle and the power receiving vehicle. 2. The power supply/reception matching device according to claim 1 , wherein the guider is configured to cause the communicator to transmit information for viewing a list of power supplying vehicles to the device of the transmitter of the power supply request. 3. The power supply/reception matching device according to claim 1 , wherein the guider is configured to cause the communicator to transmit information for viewing profile information of power supplying vehicles to the device of the transmitter of the power supply request. 4. The power supply/reception matching device according to claim 1 , wherein the matching processor is configured to match the power supplying vehicle and the power receiving vehicle further on the basis of position information of the power receiving vehicle and position information of the power supplying vehicle. 5. The power supply/reception matching device according to claim 1 , wherein the power reception request includes information indicating an offered fee for electric power to be received and the power supply request includes information indicating an offered fee for electric power to be supplied, and wherein the matching processor is configured to match the power supplying vehicle and the power receiving vehicle further on the basis of the offered fee for electric power to be received included in the power reception request and the offered fee for electric power to be supplied included in the power supply request. 6. A power supply/reception matching method of a device including a communicator, the power supply/reception matching method comprising; acquiring a power reception request or a power supply request including information for identifying a type and a charge rate of a battery through the communicator; matching a power supplying vehicle and a power receiving vehicle on the basis of the acquired power reception request and power supply request; and causing the communicator to transmit a processing result from the matching to devices of transmitters of the power reception request and the power supply request, wherein the matching of the power supplying vehicle and the power receiving vehicle comprises matching the power supplying vehicle and the power receiving vehicle on the basis of at least one of a material of a battery or voltage characteristics of a battery mounted in each of the power supplying vehicle and the power receiving vehicle. 7. A computer-readable non-transitory storage medium that stores a program causing a computer of a device including a communicator to; acquire a power reception request or a power supply request including information for identifying a type and a charge rate of a battery through the communicator; match a power supplying vehicle and a power receiving vehicle on the basis of the acquired power reception request and power supply request; and cause the communicator to transmit a processing result from the matching to devices of transmitters of the power reception request and the power supply request, wherein the matching of the power supplying vehicle and the power receiving vehicle comprises matching the power supplying vehicle and the power receiving vehicle on the basis of at least one of a material of a battery or voltage characteristics of a battery mounted in each of the power supplying vehicle and the power receiving vehicle.
