Abstract: An information processing apparatus acquires second information and third information based on first information for identifying a specific vehicle. The second information is information about a vehicle part that is attachable to the specific vehicle. The third information is information about a vehicle part that is currently attached to the specific vehicle. The information processing apparatus identifies a specific part that is a vehicle part that is to be proposed to be attached to the specific vehicle, based on the second information and the third information. The information processing apparatus transmits information about the specific part to a terminal associated with a user of the specific vehicle.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus comprises a controller configured to acquire work information indicating details of work to be done on a first vehicle, and determine a first site where the work indicated by the work information is available, based on first data associating details of work that is available with each of a plurality of sites.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus obtains information about prescribed equipment. The prescribed equipment is equipment that corresponds to a vehicle owned by a user, and is specified by a manufacturer of the vehicle as equipment that can be selected by the user. Then, the information processing apparatus proposes to the user that the prescribed equipment be newly installed on the vehicle, at a predetermined proposal timing set based on a legally defined inspection timing of the vehicle.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus obtains first information about first prescribed equipment. The first prescribed equipment is equipment that is not currently installed on a vehicle owned by a user, but has been considered by the user to be installed on the vehicle in the past. Then, the information processing apparatus determines the first prescribed equipment as equipment that is proposed to the user to be newly installed on the vehicle.

Abstract: A first paint color is acquired as a color of a paint of a first vehicle. A second paint color is acquired as a color of a paint including a peelable layer and to be applied over at least a part of the paint in the first paint color. A current or future valuation price of the first vehicle is acquired based on the first paint color or the second paint color.

Abstract: An information processing device includes a control unit that acquires a request from a first user to move a component included in a first vehicle from the first vehicle and determines, in response to a request from a second user to move the component to a second vehicle, a possible reservation time of a predetermined facility at which the component is to be moved based on the request from the first vehicle.

Abstract: A controller is provided which is configured to perform receiving, from a terminal of a user, a request for moving a component included in a first vehicle to a second vehicle, and generating, upon receipt of the request from the terminal of the user, information for reserving a predetermined facility in which the component is moved from the first vehicle to the second vehicle.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a processor that: receives, from a user terminal, a request for first update regarding a first vehicle, notifies the user terminal that the first update is to be performed at a shop, when the first update is update of hardware, and notifies the user terminal that the first update is to be performed through wireless communication, when the first update is update of software.

Abstract: A controller of the information processing apparatus calculates a sale price of a second component selected to be sold by a user of a vehicle, based on information indicating a value of the second component, and subtracts the sale price of the second component from a cost of installing a first component. The second component is either a component bound to be removed from the vehicle when installing the first component in the vehicle other than a component to be replaced with the first component, or a component bound to be removed from the vehicle when the first component is installed in the vehicle in a case where there is no component to be replaced with the first component in the vehicle.

Abstract: The technology notification system includes a server which stores new technology data related to a new technology whose technical effect has been confirmed by racing a racing vehicle incorporated with the new technology in a motor racing event, and a distribution device which distributes technology notification information related to the new technology data.

Abstract: An apparatus for managing operation of refrigerating machines controls defrosting of evaporators of refrigeration cycles. Each of the refrigeration cycles uses a compressor, a condenser, a decompressor, and the evaporator, and is formed for a corresponding one of cooling/heating devices installed in a single store. The apparatus obtains a total estimated power consumption in a case of a pull-down operation using power consumptions necessary for the pull-down operation performed for the cooling/heating devices after defrosting is performed and using a power consumption of the store that includes at least the power consumptions of the refrigeration cycles and that is estimated for each of predetermined time periods. The apparatus changes defrosting start times or defrosting end times of the cooling/heating devices so that the total estimated power consumption does not exceed an upper limit value of a power consumption set in advance by the store.
