Patent number: 11279251Abstract: A charging system includes a vehicle, a power supply facility, a mobile terminal, and a server. The power supply facility performs external charging by supplying power to the vehicle. The mobile terminal receives a user input from a user of the vehicle and provides a notification to the user. The server communicates with the mobile terminal. The mobile terminal sets a first notification condition in the server in response to the user input. A second notification condition is set in the server in advance. The server determines whether or not each of the first notification condition and the second notification condition is satisfied during the external charging. When the first notification condition is satisfied, the server provides a first notification to the user through the mobile terminal. When the second notification condition is satisfied, the server provides a second notification to the user through the mobile terminal.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2019Date of Patent: March 22, 2022Assignees: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHA, CHUBU ELECTRIC POWER CO., INC.Inventors: Makito Muramatsu, Takumi Shibano, Masashi Tanaka, Takashi Ochiai, Takeharu Fukui, Yoshihiro Takamura, Takahiro Yokogawa, Masashi Ohgashira
