Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An information providing device includes a communication unit that is communicable with an onboard communication device or a terminal device of a user; a receiving unit configured to store, in a storage unit, vehicle notification information received by the communication unit; a determination unit configured to determine whether or not an electric vehicle that does not require charging and an electric vehicle that requires charging can be matched with each other; and a management unit configured to move the electric vehicle that requires charging to a vicinity of the electric vehicle that does not require charging, if the determination unit has determined that matching is possible.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . An information providing device comprising: a communication unit that is communicable with an onboard communication device or a terminal device of a user of each of a plurality of electric vehicles; a receiving unit configured to store, in a storage unit, vehicle notification information including respective vehicle identification information, position information, and information indicating a charge state of one or more electric vehicles received by the communication unit; a determination unit configured to determine, based on the vehicle notification information and electric power supply permission information received from an electric vehicle that does not require charging and the vehicle notification information received from an electric vehicle that requires charging, whether or not the electric vehicle that does not require charging and the electric vehicle that requires charging can be matched with each other; and a management unit configured to move the electric vehicle that requires charging to a vicinity of the electric vehicle that does not require charging, if the determination unit has determined that the electric vehicle that does not require charging and the electric vehicle that requires charging can be matched with each other. 2 . The information providing device according to claim 1 , wherein: the determination unit determines whether or not the electric vehicle that does not require charging and the electric vehicle that requires charging can be matched with each other if the electric power supply permission information received from the electric vehicle that does not require charging includes a status permitting supply of electric power to another vehicle, and the determination unit does not determine whether or not the electric vehicle that does not require charging and the electric vehicle that requires charging can be matched with each other if the electric power supply permission information received from the electric vehicle that does not require charging includes a status not permitting supply of electric power to another vehicle. 3 . An information providing method performed by an information providing device including a communication unit that is communicable with an onboard communication device or a terminal device of a user of each of a plurality of electric vehicles, the method comprising: storing, in a storage unit, vehicle notification information including respective vehicle identification information, position information, and information indicating a charge state of one or more electric vehicles received by the communication unit; determining, based on the vehicle notification information and electric power supply permission information received from an electric vehicle that does not require charging and the vehicle notification information received from an electric vehicle that requires charging, whether or not the electric vehicle that does not require charging and the electric vehicle that requires charging can be matched with each other; and moving the electric vehicle that requires charging to a vicinity of the electric vehicle that does not require charging, if it has been determined that the electric vehicle that does not require charging and the electric vehicle that requires charging can be matched with each other. 4 . A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program that causes an information providing device including a communication unit that is communicable with an onboard communication device or a terminal device of a user of each of a plurality of electric vehicles to: store, in a storage unit, vehicle notification information including respective vehicle identification information, position information, and information indicating a charge state of one or more electric vehicles received by the communication unit; determine, based on the vehicle notification information and electric power supply permission information received from an electric vehicle that does not require charging and the vehicle notification information received from an electric vehicle that requires charging, whether or not the electric vehicle that does not require charging and the electric vehicle that requires charging can be matched with each other; and move the electric vehicle that requires charging to a vicinity of the electric vehicle that does not require charging, if it has been determined that the electric vehicle that does not require charging and the electric vehicle that requires charging can be matched with each other.
