  • Publication number: 20230160708
    Abstract: In an information processing device of this disclosure, a control unit acquires an operation history of an internal combustion engine vehicle for a first period. On the assumption that a first BEV is operated according to an operation schedule shown by the acquired operation history, the control unit determines whether the battery needs charging during travel of the first BEV. When it is determined that the battery needs charging during travel of the first BEV, the control unit generates first information including information about a timing of charging and a charging place and outputs the generated first information through a first terminal.

  • Patent number: 11620584
    Abstract: A server communicates with a terminal device used by a user, and an external server. The server includes a memory, a server, and a processor. The memory stores map information and timetable information for public transportation. The server communication device acquires, from the external server, a rental place and a riding start time of a vehicle reserved by the user. The processor sets the rental place as a destination and the riding start time as an arrival time based on the map information and the timetable information, and executes a route search. The processor controls the server communication device such that the server communication device outputs a route, a mode of transport, and an estimated travel time, which are acquired from the route search, and that the second application displays, as the users' schedule, the route, the mode of transport, and the estimated travel time.
