Patent number: 9710862Abstract: A terminal device sets a beneficial use time slot for regarding the electrical consumption in the beneficial use time slot as the beneficial, a waste use time slot for regarding the electrical consumption in the waste use time slot as the waste, and an efficiency improvement time slot for regarding the electrical consumption in the efficiency improvement time slot as the electrical consumption to be reduced. On the basis of the data of an amount of the electrical consumption of the device to be monitored, calculating an amount of the electrical consumption in each the time slot and displaying an amount of the electrical consumption in each time slot are preformed.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2010Date of Patent: July 18, 2017Assignee: Panasonic Intellectual Property management Co., Ltd.Inventors: Misayo Kobayashi, Ryuichi Maeda, Tomoya Sogou, Yoshifumi Murakami, Hiroki Kazuno, Hisashi Takayama

Patent number: 9373968Abstract: In a charging control device, a determining unit individually determines whether a charging path and a vehicle are in a connected state or non-connected state based on a current value detected by a current detecting means. The state of connection with the vehicle is detected not by an exclusive sensor as it is done in the prior art but by using a current detection result by the current detecting means. Hence the cost for detecting the state of connection with the vehicle can be reduced.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2012Date of Patent: June 21, 2016Assignee: Panasonic Intellectual Property Management Co., Ltd.Inventors: Misayo Kobayashi, Susumu Iida

Patent number: 9170576Abstract: An energy conservation diagnosis system manages electrical device K which consumes electricity to operate based on control schedule information, and includes acquiring unit 14a, rule information generation unit 14b, operating determination unit 14c and display unit 12. Acquiring unit acquires operating information obtained by relating an operating condition of electrical device to a clock time. Rule information generation unit generates rule information by relating a rule on use of electrical device to a clock time, based on one or more predetermined time slots depending on a benefit of electricity consumed by electrical device. Operating determination unit acquires control schedule information of electrical device, and generates an image data by superimposing acquired control schedule information and rule information onto operating information so that each clock time is fitted to a clock time of operating information. Display unit displays the image data.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2010Date of Patent: October 27, 2015Assignee: Panasonic Intellectual Property Management Co., Ltd.Inventors: Tomoya Sogou, Misayo Kobayashi, Yoshifumi Murakami, Hiroki Kazuno, Hisashi Takayama

Patent number: 9131286Abstract: An information analysis unit of a management apparatus searches for a device existing within a predetermined distance from a portable terminal, namely a device positioned near the portable terminal, based on terminal position information received from the portable terminal by a radio communication unit and device position information stored in an information storage unit. The information analysis unit reads, from the information storage unit, energy usage information of the searched device existing near the portable terminal, and transmits it from the radio communication unit to an information acquisition unit of the portable terminal. Thus, the information acquisition unit acquires only the energy usage information of the device positioned near the portable terminal, so that a display unit displays only the energy usage information of the device positioned near the portable terminal.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2012Date of Patent: September 8, 2015Assignee: Panasonic Intellectual Property Management Co., Ltd.Inventors: Tomoya Sogo, Misayo Kobayashi, Akio Nakano, Yoshifumi Murakami, Toru Shimotsuma

Patent number: 8664916Abstract: A charging control device stores expected driving start time of each of motor vehicles and controls charging operations of the motor vehicles in such a manner as to finish charging a battery mounted to each of the motor vehicles by the corresponding expected driving start time. The charging control device includes a storage unit for storing the expected driving start time of each of the motor vehicles; and a control unit for searching the motor vehicles to find a specific motor vehicle whose charging is expected to be finished by the expected driving start time and causing the specific motor vehicle to discharge an electric power to be used in charging at least one of the motor vehicles other than the specific motor vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2011Date of Patent: March 4, 2014Assignee: Panasonic CorporationInventors: Misayo Kobayashi, Yuya Hasegawa, Susumu Iida
