CHARGING CONTROL DEVICE, METHOD, AND PROGRAM
First Claim
1. A charging control device for controlling charging of a battery, which is a power source of a vehicle,the charging control device comprising:
- a necessary capacity calculation unit for obtaining a necessary capacity, which is a necessary capacity of the battery, based on at least one of an average value of a traveling distance of the vehicle and an average value of a consuming amount of the battery for a predetermined time;
a charging time calculation unit for obtaining a time necessary for charging from a currently remaining amount of the battery to the necessary capacity as a charging time;
a reserved time setting unit for setting a charging start time of the battery between a current time and a time in which the charging time is subtracted from a set time set by a user, and setting a time the charging time elapsed from the charging start time as a charging end time; and
a charging control unit for controlling to charge the battery from the set charging start time to the charging end time.

Abstract
This invention aims to more appropriately perform reserved charging of a battery, which is a power source of a vehicle. A necessary capacity calculation unit obtains a necessary capacity, which is a necessary capacity of the battery, based on at least one of an average traveling distance of the vehicle and an average consuming amount of the battery for a predetermined time. A charging time calculation unit obtains a time necessary for charging from a currently remaining amount of the battery to the necessary capacity as a charging time. A reserved time setting unit sets a charging start time of the battery between a current time and a time in which the charging time is subtracted from a use start time set by a user, and sets a time the charging time elapsed from the charging start time as a charging end time. A charging control unit controls to charge the battery from the set charging start time to the charging end time. The present invention can be applied to a charging control device of an electrical vehicle.
