  • Patent number: 11722012
    Abstract: A power feed system includes a power feed mat and a computer. The power feed mat includes a plurality of power transmission coils. The power feed mat is configured to feed power to at least one movable body on the power feed mat by using at least one of the plurality of power transmission coils. The computer is configured to determine whether or not to permit power feed to a movable body that requests power feed. In the power feed system, when the computer determines not to permit power feed, the power feed mat does not feed power to the movable body that requests power feed.

  • Publication number: 20230158899
    Abstract: The first charging equipment is configured to charge the electric power storage device via contact charging using a charging cable. The second charging equipment is configured to charge the electric power storage device via non-contact charging. The server includes: a determination section that determines a non-contact charging recommendation degree representing a degree of recommendation of the non-contact charging method to the user, based on a characteristic of the user; and a setting section that sets suggested equipment that is charging equipment to be suggested to the user, of the first charging equipment and the second charging equipment. When the non-contact charging recommendation degree is high, the setting section is more likely to set the second charging equipment as the suggested equipment than when the non-contact charging recommendation degree is low.

  • Publication number: 20230145205
    Abstract: A management server performs processing including updating map information with change of a placement location of a power feed mat corresponding to a power feed control device being determined as not being required (S204) when the management server determines that it has received power feed information from the power feed control device (YES in S200) and when the management server determines an integrated value of an amount of power feed as being equal to or larger than a threshold value (YES in S202), updating the map information with change of the placement location of the power feed mat corresponding to the power feed control device being determined as being required (S206) when the management server determines the integrated value of the amount of power feed as being smaller than the threshold value (NO in S202), and notifying a terminal (S208).

  • Publication number: 20230055681
    Abstract: A plurality of power feed mats are stored as being distributed at a plurality of storage locations, and each of the plurality of power feed mats is configured to supply electric power to a movable body. A server includes a memory and a processor. Data in which an identification number, a type, and a storage location of each of the plurality of power feed mats are associated with one another is stored in the memory. The processor determines at least one power feed mat to be rented based on the data, in response to an inquiry from a user. The processor determines a storage location to be a source of rental or a storage location to be a return destination such that inventory of a plurality of types of power feed mats is ensured at each of the plurality of storage locations.

  • Publication number: 20230020497
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus accepts an inquiry about rental of a power feed mat that can supply electric power to a movable body. The power feed mat includes a substrate including a power transmission coil and a functional body that performs at least one function of a plurality of functions. The inquiry includes an instruction to designate the at least one function of the plurality of functions. In the information processing apparatus, association information in which function information is associated with identification information of each of a plurality of power feed mats is stored. The function information indicates which of the plurality of functions the power feed mat performs. The information processing apparatus specifies at least one power feed mat among the plurality of power feed mats based on the accepted inquiry and the association information and provides information based on a result of specifying.
