Abstract:
A battery reservation device ( 10 ) comprises a battery state acquisition component ( 12 ), a scheduled return time acquisition component ( 13 c ), a remaining battery charge prediction component ( 14 ), a battery station information acquisition component ( 15 ), and a reservation acceptance component ( 17 ). The battery state acquisition component ( 12 ) acquires the remaining battery charge of a battery pack ( 1 ) scheduled to be returned to a battery station ( 30 a ). The scheduled return time acquisition component ( 13 c ) acquires the scheduled return time of the battery pack ( 1 ). The remaining battery charge prediction component ( 14 ) predicts the remaining battery charge at the time of return on the basis of the current remaining battery charge of the battery pack ( 1 ) and the scheduled return time. The battery station information acquisition component ( 15 ) acquires the charging speed of a charger ( 31 ). The reservation acceptance component ( 17 ) accepts a rental reservation for the battery pack ( 1 ) scheduled to be returned on the basis of the remaining battery charge at the time of return and the charging speed of the charger ( 31 ).

Claim (Index 10):
A battery reservation method in which reservations are accepted for battery packs that are installed in a power consumption element and are rented out at battery stations, the method comprising:\n a battery state acquisition step of acquiring a current remaining battery charge of the battery packs scheduled to be returned to the battery station; a scheduled return time acquisition step of acquiring a scheduled return time at which the battery packs scheduled to be returned will be returned to the battery station; a remaining battery charge prediction step of predicting a remaining battery charge of the battery packs when they are returned to the battery station, on the basis of the current remaining battery charge of the battery packs acquired by the battery state acquisition step and the scheduled return time of the battery packs acquired by the scheduled return time acquisition step; a charging speed acquisition step of acquiring a charging speed of a charger configured to charge the battery packs at the battery station; and a reservation acceptance step of accepting a rental reservation for the battery packs scheduled to be returned on the basis of the remaining battery charge at the time of return predicted by the remaining battery charge prediction step and the charging speed by the charger acquired by the charging speed acquisition step.
