CONTROL DEVICE, INFORMATION TERMINAL, CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18374338 titled 'CONTROL DEVICE, INFORMATION TERMINAL, CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The control device for a moving body described in the abstract is designed to communicate with a portable information terminal used by the user of the moving body. It controls the movement of the body and manages the charging of the power supply device. The device starts the moving body and charge control, and based on an action plan received, it monitors the progress state of the charge control. If the progress state does not reach a predetermined level, it displays a third image on the information terminal to indicate the progress state. Once the progress state reaches the predetermined level, the display of the third image is either stopped or shown in a less noticeable manner.
- Control device for a moving body
- Communicates with a portable information terminal

Possible Prior Art
There may be prior art related to control devices for moving bodies that monitor and manage the charging process, but specific examples are not provided in this abstract.
Unanswered Questions
How does the control unit communicate with the information terminal?
The abstract does not specify the communication method used between the control unit and the information terminal. It would be interesting to know if it is through a wireless connection, Bluetooth, or another technology.
What types of moving bodies can this control device be applied to?
The abstract mentions a moving body, but it does not specify the specific types of devices or vehicles that could benefit from this technology. It would be helpful to understand the range of applications for this control device.
Original Abstract Submitted
A control device for a moving body includes a control unit configured to communicate with an information terminal which is portable for a user of the moving body, and perform movement control on the moving body and charge control on a power supply device. The control unit is configured to start the moving body and the charge control, and, in response to receiving an action plan, if a progress state of the charge control does not reach a predetermined state, cause a display unit of the information terminal to display a third display image indicating the progress state, and if the progress state reaches the predetermined state, cause the display unit not to display the third display image, or cause the display unit to display it in an inconspicuous manner in comparison to a case where the progress state does not reach the predetermined state.
