  • Publication number: 20240144348
    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.

  • Publication number: 20240135418
    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.

  • Publication number: 20160103478
    Abstract: According to embodiments, a second control unit creates parity from information loaded into a volatile second memory. When shifting from a normal mode to a sleep mode, the second control unit stores the created parity and the information loaded in the second memory into a buffer of a non-volatile first memory, and issues a power supply shutdown request. A power supply circuit shuts down power supply to the second memory and the second control unit in response to the issued power supply shutdown request.
