VEHICLE CHARGE SUPPORT DEVICE, VEHICLE CHARGE SUPPORT METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a charge supporter for vehicles which can inform a user of information about charge in an ideal position in consideration of an obstacle before completion of parking operation, a method of supporting charge for vehicles and a computer program.SOLUTION: When a user starts to park a car in a parking frame 75 where a feed unit 70 is embedded, the charge supporter conducts detection of the position and form of the obstacle 80 in or around the parking frame 75 (S1), detection of the position and form of the parking frame 75 (S2), and detection of the position of the feed unit 70 within the parking frame 75 (S3). Based on the position of the feed unit 70, it specifies a parking position in which the charge efficiency of a battery 60 is highest as its optimum position (S4), and determines the interval between its own vehicle 65 and the obstacle 80 in the optimum position (S5). According to the determination results, it specifies its ideal position and informs the user of the charge efficiency and best position of a battery 60 in the ideal position (S10).
