  • Publication number: 20240012377
    Abstract: A server includes a storage device, a communication device, and a processing device. The storage device stores DR location information and DR period information. The communication device is configured to communicate with a provider server that stores a database indicating an available period and a use start location of each of a plurality of managed mobile objects. The processing device is configured to perform a process of inquiring the provider server about whether the managed mobile objects include a target mobile object of which the available period is in the DR period and the use start location is in a vicinity area of the DR location. When the managed mobile objects include the target mobile object, the processing device is configured to perform a notification process of notifying the user of target mobile object information indicating the available period and the use start location of the target mobile object.

  • Publication number: 20240013114
    Abstract: A server notifies a user of a vehicle that is able to participate in DR. The server includes a communication device and a processing device. The communication device communicates with a provider server that stores information indicating an execution period and an execution location of at least one job given by a provider. The processing device performs a process of inquiring the provider server about whether the at least one job includes a target job through the communication device. The target job is a job of which the execution period is included in a DR period and the execution location is in a vicinity area of a DR location. When the at least one job includes the target job, the processing device performs a notification process of notifying the user of target job information indicating the execution period and the execution location of the target job.

  • Publication number: 20230267838
    Abstract: The server (electrified vehicle management device) includes a communication unit (second communication unit) that communicates with a mobile terminal (first communication unit) of a user of the electrified vehicle. The server includes a processor (control unit) that controls the communication unit. Then, the processor controls the communication unit so that a permission signal permitted to receive a privilege in the amusement park is transmitted to the mobile terminal of the user when a predetermined condition is satisfied with respect to power control in a EVSE (power station) provided in the amusement park (entertainment facility).
