Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An information notifying device in accordance with the present disclosure includes a first communication circuit, a second communication circuit, a clock, and a controller. The first communication circuit receives first information regarding an estimated arrival time at which transportation equipment will arrive at a destination. The second communication circuit receives second information regarding a remaining battery capacity of a battery installed in an external device. The clock keeps a current time. The controller calculates a first charging time necessary to charge the external device to a fully charged state based on the second information, and outputs information prompting to charge the external device at a first timing based on the first information, the current time and the first charging time.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . An information notifying device comprising: a first communication circuit that receives first information regarding an estimated arrival time at which transportation equipment will arrive at a destination; a second communication circuit that receives second information regarding a remaining capacity of a battery installed in an external device; a clock that keeps a current time; and a controller that calculates a first charging time necessary to fully charge the external device based on the second information, and outputs information prompting to charge the external device at a first timing based on the first information, the current time and the first charging time. 2 . The information notifying device according to claim 1 , wherein the controller calculates the first charging time based on the second information and first power information regarding a capability to supply power to the external device of a first power supply which charges the external device. 3 . The information notifying device according to claim 2 , wherein the second information includes information regarding a total battery capacity of the battery, and information regarding a remaining battery capacity of the battery. 4 . The information notifying device according to claim 1 , wherein the second communication circuit obtains the second information by using a wireless communication. 5 . The information notifying device according to claim 2 , wherein the controller sets, as the first timing, a timing at which before the current time passes a time counted back by the first charging time from the estimated arrival time indicated by the first information. 6 . The information notifying device according to claim 2 , wherein the controller calculates a second charging time based on the second information and second power information regarding a capability to supply power to the external device of a second power supply which charges the external device, and outputs information prompting to charge the external device at a second timing based on the first information, the current time and the second charging time. 7 . The information notifying device according to claim 6 , wherein the first power supply and the second power supply are connectable to the external device in different methods from each other. 8 . The information notifying device according to claim 6 , wherein the first power supply and the second power supply are different in power supplying capability from each other. 9 . The information notifying device according to claim 6 , wherein one of the first power supply and the second power supply is connectable to the external device by using a wired connection, and the other of the first power supply and the second power supply is connectable to the external device by using a wireless connection.
