RESERVATION MANAGEMENT DEVICE, RESERVATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, AND RESERVATION MANAGEMENT METHOD FOR ENERGY SUPPLY DEVICE

摘要

A device for managing reservation of an energy supply device determines the likelihood of a reservation being fulfilled for one reservation vehicle for which the energy supply device is wished to be used at a specified reservation time, and, in a case where the determined likelihood is lower than a prescribed assessment value, for checking whether or not the one reservation vehicle can be re-reserved at another prescribed time corresponding to the reservation time. When it has been confirmed that the one reservation vehicle cannot be re-reserved, the reservation management device determines, on the basis of the other prescribed time and an estimated arrival time at which another reservation vehicle will arrive at the location where the energy supply device is installed, the likelihood of a reservation being fulfilled for another reservation vehicle for either one or a plurality of other reservation vehicles having reservations for the other prescribed time. In a case where it has been determined that the likelihood of the reservation for any of the either one or plurality of other reservation vehicles being fulfilled is lower than a prescribed assessment value, the reservation management device cancels the reservation of the other vehicle related to the relevant determination, and makes a re-reservation for the one reservation vehicle.
