Vehicular charge control apparatus and vehicular charge control system

摘要

A vehicular charge control apparatus in a vehicle controls a charge operation to the vehicle from an external power supply facility, by using a charge intention determination unit for determining whether a user of the vehicle has an intention to charge, a plug connection state determination unit for determining whether a charge plug is connected to the vehicle when the user's intention to charge is determined by the charge intention determination unit, and a notification execution unit for executing a predetermined notification process when loss of connection to the charge plug is determined by the plug connection state determination unit.

主权项

1. A vehicular charge control apparatus for controlling a charge operation of a vehicle from an external power source of the vehicle, the apparatus comprising:
a charge intention determination unit that determines whether a user of the vehicle has an intention to charge; a plug connection state determination unit that determines whether a charge plug is connected to the vehicle when the charge intention determination unit determines that the user has an intention to charge; a notification process execution unit that executes a predetermined notification process when the plug connection state determination unit determines that the plug is not connected; a getting-off determination unit that determines whether the user has gotten off the vehicle; a stop position determination unit that determines that a stop position of the vehicle is a predetermined position; an elapsed time determination unit that determines whether an elapsed time after the stopping of the vehicle is greater than a predetermined time length; and a connection abnormality signal transmission unit that is communicably coupled with an information center and transmits a connection abnormality signal to the information center when the plug connection state determination unit determines that the plug is not connected, wherein the charge intention determination unit determines that the user has an intention to charge when at least all of following three conditions are fulfilled (i) when the getting-off determination unit determines that the user has gotten off the vehicle, (ii) when the stop position determination unit determines that the stop position of the vehicle is the predetermined position, and (iii) when the elapsed time determination unit determines that the elapsed time after the stopping of the vehicle is greater than the predetermined time length.
