Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An upper limit value of discharging power of a battery mounted on a moving object is made larger when a predetermined event has occurred than when it has not occurred.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . An information processing apparatus including a controller configured to perform: when a predetermined event has occurred, generating a command to move a moving object to a position corresponding to the predetermined event, the predetermined event being an event in which power supply from a battery mounted on the moving object increases; and generating a command to make an upper limit value of discharging power and an upper limit value of charging power of the battery larger when the predetermined event has occurred and on condition that the moving object has arrived at the position corresponding to the predetermined event than when the predetermined event has not occurred. 2 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the controller determines that the predetermined event has occurred, in the case where information about a disaster is obtained. 3 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , further including: a storage unit configured to store information about a position corresponding to the predetermined event. 4 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , further including: a storage unit configured to store a relationship between the moving object and the upper limit value of the discharging power of the battery. 5 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the storage unit further stores a relationship between the moving object and an upper limit value of charging power of the battery. 6 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein after the predetermined event has ended, the controller generates a command to return the upper limit value of the discharging power to a value before the occurrence of the predetermined event. 7 . An information processing method for causing a computer to perform: when a predetermined event has occurred, generating a command to move a moving object to a position corresponding to the predetermined event, the predetermined event being an event in which power supply from a battery mounted on the moving object increases; and generating a command to make an upper limit value of discharging power and an upper limit value of charging of the battery larger when the predetermined event has occurred and on condition that the moving object has arrived at the position corresponding to the predetermined event than when the predetermined event has not occurred. 8 . The information processing method according to claim 7 , wherein the computer determines that the predetermined event has occurred, in the case where information about a disaster is obtained. 9 . The information processing method according to claim 7 , wherein the computer stores information about a position corresponding to the predetermined event in a storage unit. 10 . The information processing method according to claim 7 , wherein the computer stores a relationship between the moving object and the upper limit value of the discharging power of the battery in a storage unit. 11 . The information processing method according to claim 10 , wherein the computer further stores a relationship between the moving object and an upper limit value of charging power of the battery in the storage unit. 12 . The information processing method according to claim 7 , wherein after the predetermined event has ended, the computer generates a command to return the upper limit value of the discharging power to a value before the occurrence of the predetermined event.
