Abstract: The controller of the information processing apparatus obtains a first evaluation amount that is an evaluation amount of the first vehicle in a case that the body color of the first vehicle is assumed to be the color of the first paint coating film. The controller obtains a second evaluation amount that is an evaluation amount of the first vehicle in case that the body color of the first vehicle is assumed to be the color of the second paint coating film. The controller determines whether the second paint coating film should be removed from the first vehicle based on the first evaluation amount and the second evaluation amount. The controller outputs the above determination result.

Abstract: A motor driver includes an inverter that converts a DC voltage into an AC voltage and applies the AC voltage to an AC motor, a DC voltage detector that detects the DC voltage applied to the inverter, a voltage command generator that generates a voltage command based on a torque command and a detection value of the DC voltage, and a gate signal generator that generates a gate signal for performing pulse width modulation control of the inverter. The number of slots per magnetic pole in the stator core of the AC motor is a natural number multiple of three, and there is a relationship of Fc=6n+3 between Fc and n, where Fc represents a numerical value as a carrier order obtained by normalizing the frequency of the carrier wave with the frequency of the modulated wave, and n is natural number.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is technology that helps to promote the sale and lease of used vehicles. An information processing apparatus provides a first web site that displays information on used vehicles. The information processing apparatus has a controller that receives the specification of a first body color defined as the body color of a used vehicle that a user prefers. When a first vehicle defined as a used vehicle that matches the first body color is not in stock, the controller displays first information to suggest applying an easily removable coating film of the first body color to a second vehicle in stock.

Abstract: The information processing apparatus acquires the first body color desired by a user as a body color of a vehicle ordered by the user. Furthermore, based on at least the appraised value of the vehicle having a first body color after a predetermined period has elapsed, the information processing apparatus determines whether or not to propose to the user to topcoat the vehicle having the second body color with an easily peelable paint of the first body color.

Abstract: An information processing device is an information processing device that outputs a fee plan indicating a fee required to use a vehicle or battery selected by a user, the information processing device including: an acquisition unit that acquires selection information specifying a selected object selected by the user; and a processing unit that outputs the fee plan, wherein when the selected object is eligible for a subsidy, the processing unit outputs an eligible plan as the fee plan, and in the eligible plan, the fee is set to a fixed amount of money in an initial predetermined period, and the fee is set to be lower than the fixed amount of money and to be decreased with passage of time after the predetermined period has passed.

Abstract: An information processing device includes a processor configured to provide an incentive to a first user who sells or returns a first vehicle in which a part of a first coating film including an easily peelable layer is not peeled off.

Abstract: An information processing device includes a control unit. The control unit of the information processing device acquires the number of times of maintenance performed at a predetermined station during a predetermined period of time for the leased vehicle including the maintenance. The control unit of the information processing device determines a larger amount of reward to be provided to the user of the leased vehicle as the number of times of maintenance performed at a predetermined station during a predetermined period of time is smaller. The control unit of the information processing device outputs information of the determined reward.

Abstract: The information processing device acquires a recommended period for recommending maintenance of the vehicle for each of the plurality of maintenance items. For a plurality of maintenance items, the information processing device determines the earliest recommended period among the acquired recommended periods as a reference period, and identifies the maintenance item of the earliest recommended period as a reference maintenance item. The information processing device identifies, among the plurality of maintenance items, another maintenance item different from the identified reference maintenance item, the other maintenance item for which the recommended period arrives in a predetermined period including the identified reference period. Then, the information processing device decides to maintain the identified other maintenance items together with the reference maintenance items.

Abstract: In the information processing device, the control unit acquires a recommended time period in which maintenance of the leased vehicle is recommended at a predetermined station. The control unit transmits information including the recommended time period to a terminal associated with the user of the leased vehicle. The control unit outputs information of the reward provided to the user when the maintenance of the leased vehicle is performed at a predetermined station within the recommended time period.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus comprises a data base configured to store, for a predetermined vehicle, a history of coating operation which is operation related to coating using a coating film containing an easily removable layer; and a controller configured to: acquire operation data representing details on the coating operation that is performed on the vehicle, and update the data base based on the operation data.

Abstract: A controller is provided which is configured to perform receiving, from a terminal of a user, a request for moving a component included in a first vehicle to a second vehicle, and generating, upon receipt of the request from the terminal of the user, information for reserving a predetermined facility in which the component is moved from the first vehicle to the second vehicle.

Abstract: A controller is configured to acquire a scheduled visit period in which a user is scheduled to visit a facility at which the user is able to have a vehicle maintained. The controller is configured to determine whether a specific item is present among a plurality of maintenance items for the vehicle. The specific item is a maintenance item for which a recommended period in which it is recommended to have the vehicle maintained is included within a predetermined period that includes the scheduled visit period. The recommended period is a period that does not overlap the scheduled visit period. The controller is configured to: acquire item information about a maintenance content of the specific item when the specific item is present; and determine, based on the item information, whether maintenance corresponding to the specific item is to be performed in the scheduled visit period or in the recommended period.

Abstract: A first paint color is acquired as a color of a paint of a first vehicle. A second paint color is acquired as a color of a paint including a peelable layer and to be applied over at least a part of the paint in the first paint color. A current or future valuation price of the first vehicle is acquired based on the first paint color or the second paint color.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus calculates a fee for applying a second coating film including an easily removable layer to a first vehicle having a first coating film applied thereon. The information processing apparatus disclosed herein has a controller that calculates a first fee defined as a fee for applying the second coating film to the first vehicle that is for lease lower than a second fee defined as a fee for applying the second coating film to the first vehicle that is not for lease. In other words, the controller calculates the first fee by subtracting a first subtraction value from the second fee.
