Abstract

The server (electrified vehicle management device) includes a communication unit (second communication unit) that communicates with a mobile terminal (first communication unit) of a user of the electrified vehicle. The server includes a processor (control unit) that controls the communication unit. Then, the processor controls the communication unit so that a permission signal permitted to receive a privilege in the amusement park is transmitted to the mobile terminal of the user when a predetermined condition is satisfied with respect to power control in a EVSE (power station) provided in the amusement park (entertainment facility).

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An electrified vehicle management device configured for managing a power control of an electrified vehicle, the power control being a request to the electrified vehicle to perform the power control including at least one of a power supply to a power system and a charging from the power system, the electrified vehicle is configured to perform the power control including performing at least one of the power supply to the power system and the charging from the power system, the electrified vehicle management device comprising:
a second communication unit for communicating with a first communication unit owned by a user of the electrified vehicle; and
a control unit configured for controlling the second communication unit, the control unit being configured to control the second communication unit such that, when a predetermined condition is satisfied regarding the power control in a power station provided in an entertainment facility, a permission signal that permits receiving a privilege in the entertainment facility is transmitted to the first communication unit of the user,
wherein the predetermined condition includes that the user responds to a power supply and demand adjusting request from the power system and that the electrified vehicle is electrically connected to the power station.

2. The electrified vehicle management device according to claim 1 , wherein:
the entertainment facility includes an amusement park;
a plurality of entertainment equipment is provided in the amusement park; and
the permission signal includes at least one of a signal that permits using at least a part of the entertainment equipment for free, and a signal that permits using at least a part of the entertainment equipment preferentially.

3. The electrified vehicle management device according to claim 1 , wherein:
the entertainment facility is provided with a first entrance that allows entering the entertainment facility and a second entrance that allows entering the entertainment facility and that is different from the first entrance; and
the permission signal includes a signal that permits using the second entrance.

4. The electrified vehicle management device according to claim 1 , wherein:
the entertainment facility is provided with an eating and drinking establishment; and
the permission signal includes a signal that permits reserving the eating and drinking establishment preferentially.

5. The electrified vehicle management device according to claim 4 , wherein:
the entertainment facility includes an amusement park;
the second communication unit communicates with a terminal carried by an employee of the amusement park who is wearing a costume; and
the control unit controls the second communication unit such that an instruction to head to the reserved eating and drinking establishment is transmitted to the terminal of the employee at a reservation time of the user for the eating and drinking establishment.

6. The electrified vehicle management device according to claim 1 , wherein the control unit performs control for adjusting the privilege permitted by the permission signal, based on a degree of contribution by the power control to the power supply and demand adjustment request from the power system.

7. The electrified vehicle management device according to claim 1 , wherein the control unit controls the second communication unit such that the permission signal is transmitted to the first communication unit that is able to be carried by the user.

8. An electrified vehicle management system comprising:
a power station provided in an entertainment facility; and
an electrified vehicle management device configured for managing a power control of an electrified vehicle, the power control being a request to the electrified vehicle to perform the power control including at least one of power supply to a power system and a charging from the power system, the electrified vehicle is configured to perform the power control including performing at least one of the power supply to the power system and the charging from the power system, wherein
the electrified vehicle management device includes
a second communication unit for communicating with a first communication unit of a user of the electrified vehicle, and
a control unit configured for controlling the second communication unit, the control unit being configured to control the second communication unit such that, when a predetermined condition is satisfied regarding the power control in the power station, a permission signal that permits receiving a privilege in the entertainment facility is transmitted to the first communication unit of the user,

wherein the predetermined condition includes that the user responds to a power supply and demand adjusting request from the power system and that the electrified vehicle is electrically connected to the power station.
