1. A charge processing device comprising:
- detecting means for detecting position information representing a position where a moving body is located;
charge means for, based on a result of a detection by the detecting means, executing charge processing for the moving body when the moving body has entered into an area where a charge is applied which area is set based on predetermined map information in correspondence with a predetermined area in the map information;
notification means which is mounted on the moving body and which notifies the outside of the moving body of a processing state of the charge processing in a notifying state corresponding to the processing state; and
continuing means for continuing a notification by the notification means when the moving body is located inside the area in which a charge is applied, based on a result of the detection by the detecting means.

Abstract
The present invention provides for a device which detects positional information of a moving vehicle. That information is then used to determine whether the moving vehicle is preparing to enter an area where a charge is applied. If a charge is to be applied, the device notifies those inside and outside the moving vehicle of the processing state of the charge processing. The present invention provides for a multitude of notification means. In addition, the present invention provides for a device which is able to collect many different types of information while detecting position and charge information.
