Abstract: An energy saving support system according to an embodiment is configured to provide a consumer, who has an electric load to which electric energy is supplied from an electric power supply system within a house, with energy consumption-related information through a photo frame or the like. The information providing apparatus is configured to acquire an acceptability level, which stepwise indicates a degree of interest of the consumer in the energy consumption-related information, and to determine the energy consumption-related information to be newly provided to the consumer based on the acceptability level.

Abstract: A controller comprising at least one processor of an information processing apparatus acquires first information about delivery of a specific product that is delivered, on a regular basis, to a specific house where at least one user lives. Furthermore, the controller acquires second information about at least one member who is scheduled to be present in the specific house in a predetermined period. The predetermined period is a period between a scheduled date of next delivery of the specific product to the specific house and a first scheduled date, after the scheduled date, of delivery of the specific product to the specific house. Then, the controller predicts a demanded quantity of the specific product in the specific house in the predetermined period, based on the first information and the second information.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus manages delivery of a predetermined product that is delivered on a regular basis to a specific place associated with a user. The information processing apparatus estimates, when the user is to temporarily stay at a place of stay other than the specific place, a necessary quantity that is a quantity of the predetermined product needed by the user during a period of stay at the place of stay, and generates a delivery plan for the predetermined product in such a way that the predetermined product is delivered in the necessary quantity to the place of stay at a timing of stay of the user at the place of stay.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus comprises a controller configured to acquire a purchase history of products purchased by a user in a past, make a determination, based on the purchase history, that there is a target product that is purchased by the user on a regular basis, and make a proposal to the user, based on a result of the determination, to purchase the target product using a periodic purchase service.

Abstract: An energy saving support system according to an embodiment is configured to provide a consumer, who has an electric load to which electric energy is supplied from an electric power supply system within a house, with energy consumption-related information through a photo frame or the like. The information providing apparatus is configured to acquire an acceptability level, which stepwise indicates a degree of interest of the consumer in the energy consumption-related information, and to determine the energy consumption-related information to be newly provided to the consumer based on the acceptability level.

Abstract: An input system includes a first touch input unit on which a touch operation is performed; a second touch input unit on which a touch operation is performed; and a processing unit configured to control display of a display unit using operation information that is acquired from any one touch input unit of the first touch input unit and the second touch input unit. The processing unit does not use operation information from an other touch input unit of the first touch input unit and the second touch input unit in display control for the display unit until a non-input time of the one touch input unit exceeds a first predetermined cancellation time, the non-input time of the one touch input unit being a time during which there is no input to the one touch input unit.

Abstract: A display control device includes a receiving portion configured to receive operation information input to a touch input portion, the touch input portion being located away from a display portion; and a processing portion configured to control display on the display portion in accordance with the operation information that is received by the receiving portion. The processing portion is configured to cause the display portion to display an image in which a cursor is disposed inside a plurality of icons that are circumferentially disposed, and the processing portion is configured to move the cursor to an icon among the plurality of icons, the icon being located in a direction of a slide operation received by the receiving portion.

Abstract: A power supply management system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a fee setting unit configured to set power fee unit prices (first power fee unit price and second power fee unit price) for each time slot, and a notification unit configured to notify a consumer of information on the set power fee unit prices. The first power fee unit price is a power unit price for a household electrical load, and the second power fee unit price is a power unit price in a case of using a charge/discharge device to charge a vehicle-mounted storage battery. The fee setting unit is configured to set, by predicting a load factor of a transformer, a discount rate of the second power fee unit price to become higher (second power fee unit price to become lower) as the predicted load factor becomes lower. The second power fee unit price is determined on the basis of the first power fee unit price and the discount rate.
