METHOD PERFORMED BY INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18444761 titled 'METHOD PERFORMED BY INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS

The patent application describes an information processing apparatus that allows a user to select the purpose of use and starting point of use for a power supply vehicle on a terminal apparatus.

  • The apparatus acquires the user's selected purpose and starting point, then determines the operation plan of the power supply vehicle accordingly.
  • If the purpose is "power supply," the apparatus plans to move the vehicle to the starting point and supply power to the user's vehicle.
  • If the purpose is "taxi," the apparatus plans to transport the user to their destination.
  • The operation plan is then transmitted to the terminal apparatus for execution.

Potential Applications: - Transportation services - Power supply operations - Fleet management systems

Problems Solved: - Efficient allocation of power supply vehicles - Streamlined transportation services - Improved user experience

Benefits: - Enhanced user convenience - Optimal resource utilization - Cost-effective operations

Commercial Applications: "Smart Fleet Management System for On-Demand Services"

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the apparatus determine the optimal operation plan for the power supply vehicle? 2. What types of vehicles can be serviced by the power supply vehicle in this system?


Original Abstract Submitted

An information processing apparatus displays a screen for selecting a purpose of use and a starting point of use of a power supply vehicle on a terminal apparatus used by a user, acquires a purpose of use and a starting point of use selected by the user, determines the operation plan of the power supply vehicle so as to move the power supply vehicle to the acquired starting point of use and perform a power supply operation to supply power to a vehicle of the user in a case in which the acquired purpose of use is “power supply”, determines the operation plan of the power supply vehicle so as to move the power supply vehicle to the acquired starting point of use and transport the user in a case in which the acquired purpose of use is “taxi”, and transmits the determined operation plan to the terminal apparatus.
