Abstract

An guidance system of an electric mobility vehicle includes a registration section in which replacement places of replacement batteries for the electric mobility vehicle are registered, an estimation section that estimates a possible travel distance of the electric mobility vehicle from a battery remaining capacity of the electric mobility vehicle, and a display section that displays replacement places within a range of the estimated possible travel distance of the electric mobility vehicle among the replacement places of the replacement batteries registered in the registration section on map information.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A guidance system of an electric mobility vehicle comprising:
a registration section in which replacement places of replacement batteries for the electric mobility vehicle are registered,
an estimation section that estimates a possible travel distance of the electric mobility vehicle from a battery remaining capacity of the electric mobility vehicle,
a display section that displays replacement places within a range of the estimated possible travel distance of the electric mobility vehicle among the replacement places of the replacement batteries registered in the registration section on map information,
a destination input section to which a destination headed by the electric mobility vehicle is input, and
a selection section that selects a replacement place of the replacement battery based on the estimated possible travel distance of the electric mobility vehicle and the destination input to the destination input section, wherein
the selection section is configured to select a replacement place, among the replacement places registered in the registration section, in order of priority: (1) to be reachable under the battery remaining capacity, (2) charging rate of renewable energy, and (3) to be in a direction closer to a direction of the destination from the current location of the electric mobility vehicle.

2. The guidance system of an electric mobility vehicle according to claim 1 , further comprising a price setting section that sets rental prices of the replacement batteries, wherein
the replacement batteries include replacement batteries each of which has been charged with power generated by renewable energy at least partially,
the price setting section sets a rental price for a replacement battery with a larger ratio of a battery capacity charged with power generated by renewable energy lower than that for a replacement battery with a smaller ratio of a battery capacity charged with power generated by renewable energy, and
the display section displays the rental prices of the replacement batteries.

3. A guidance system of an electric mobility vehicle comprising:
a registration section in which replacement places of replacement batteries for the electric mobility vehicle are registered,
an estimation section that estimates a possible travel distance of the electric mobility vehicle from a battery remaining capacity of the electric mobility vehicle,
a display section that displays replacement places within a range of the estimated possible travel distance of the electric mobility vehicle among the replacement places of the replacement batteries registered in the registration section on map information, and
a warning section that transmits a warning to a user terminal when it has become likely that the electric mobility vehicle cannot reach the selected replacement place, wherein
the electric mobility vehicle can travel without the battery, and
the warning section is configured to display a route and a distance that requires self-traveling.

4. A guidance system of an electric mobility vehicle comprising:
a registration section in which replacement places of replacement batteries for the electric mobility vehicle are registered,
an estimation section that estimates a possible travel distance of the electric mobility vehicle from a battery remaining capacity of the electric mobility vehicle,
a display section that displays replacement places within a range of the estimated possible travel distance of the electric mobility vehicle among the replacement places of the replacement batteries registered in the registration section on map information of a user terminal,
a price setting section that sets rental prices of the replacement batteries, and
a reservation section configured to be able to make a reservation for rental of the replacement battery by the user terminal, wherein
the replacement batteries include replacement batteries each of which has been charged with power generated by renewable energy at least partially,
the price setting section sets a rental price for a replacement battery with a larger ratio of a battery capacity charged with power generated by renewable energy lower than that for a replacement battery with a smaller ratio of a battery capacity charged with power generated by renewable energy, and
the display section displays the rental prices of the replacement batteries.
