INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18484751 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The information processing device in this patent receives a request for information on a second vehicle with a power supply function from a first terminal. It then obtains the parked location and surroundings information of the second vehicle and determines if there is a parking space nearby. If a parking space is found, it sends the parked location information back to the first terminal.
- Control unit receives request for information on a second vehicle with power supply function

Original Abstract Submitted
In the information processing device according to the present disclosure, the control unit receives a first request requesting information on a second vehicle having a power supply function from a first terminal corresponding to the first vehicle. The control unit acquires the parked location of the second vehicle and the first information on the surroundings of the second vehicle, triggered by the reception of the first information. The control unit determines whether there is a parking space around the second vehicle based on the parked location of the second vehicle or the first information. When it is determined that there is a parking space around the second vehicle, the control unit sends second information including the parked location of the second vehicle to the first terminal.
