  • Publication number: 20240166084
    Abstract: A server includes: a communication unit that communicates with a mobile terminal (terminal) of a user; and a processor (control unit) that controls the communication unit. When the communication unit has not received deterioration information (battery information) on a battery from the mobile terminal for greater than or equal to a cycle (predetermined period), the processor performs control for obtaining the deterioration information through the mobile terminal.

  • Publication number: 20240166085
    Abstract: A server includes: a communication unit (acquisition unit) that acquires information about a degree of degradation of a battery (secondary battery); and a processor (control unit) that calculates a lease fee of the battery using the information about the degree of degradation of the battery. The processor performs suppression processing for suppressing an increase of the lease fee, the increase of the lease fee being based on deterioration of a degree of discharging-caused degradation caused by discharging in response to a request for adjusting a power demand/supply state in a power system (PG).

  • Publication number: 20240169420
    Abstract: A server includes: a communication unit (acquisition unit) that acquires information of a capacity retention (degree of degradation) of a battery (secondary battery); and a processor (control unit) that calculates a lease fee of the battery using the information of the capacity retention. The processor performs suppression processing for suppressing an increase of the lease fee, the increase of the lease fee being based on deterioration (decrease) of the capacity retention due to an environment in which the electrically powered vehicle is used.

  • Publication number: 20020120454
    Abstract: A sound interval and a sound volume are extracted from the voice of a player inputted through a microphone, to grip changes in the sound interval and the sound volume in words. The difference between these data and reference data recorded in reference voice data 203 is calculated, and the inputted words are evaluated on the basis of the difference. With respect to a character as an operating object of the player, the contents of an operation of the character are determined by the evaluation, and the character reacts in real time.
