Abstract

A timer reminder device includes an acquiring portion, a determination portion, and a notification portion. When the determination portion determines that a predetermined display condition for displaying a timer setting information is satisfied, the notification portion permits a display portion to display the timer setting information acquired by the acquiring portion. As the display condition, the determination portion determines whether a user is getting off the vehicle. The notification portion permits the display portion to display the timer setting information for a fixed period when the determination portion determines that the user is getting off the vehicle.

Claims

1. A timer reminder device comprising:

an acquiring portion that acquires a timer setting information from a managing portion that manages the timer setting information set for charging a rechargeable battery of a vehicle;

a determination portion that determines whether a predetermined display condition for displaying the timer setting information is satisfied or not; and

a notification portion that permits a display portion to display the timer setting information acquired by the acquiring portion when the determination portion determines that the display condition is satisfied, wherein

the determination portion determines whether the user is getting off the vehicle as the display condition, and

the notification portion permits the display portion to display the timer setting information for a fixed period when the determination portion determines that the user is getting off the vehicle.

2. The timer reminder device according to claim 1,

wherein the display portion is a display device provided in a portable terminal that is wirelessly communicable with the timer reminder device.

3. The timer reminder device according to claim 1, further comprising:

an operation receiving portion that receives a user'"'"'s operation; and

an information changing portion that changes the timer setting information according to the user'"'"'s operation received by the operation receiving portion.

4. (canceled)

5. (canceled)

6. (canceled)

7. (canceled)

8. A timer reminder device comprising:

an acquiring portion that acquires a timer setting information from a managing portion that manages the timer setting information set for charging a rechargeable battery of a vehicle;

a determination portion that determines whether a predetermined display condition for displaying the timer setting information is satisfied or not; and

a notification portion that permits a display portion to display the timer setting information acquired by the acquiring portion when the determination portion determines that the display condition is satisfied, wherein

the display condition is one of a case where a destination is set for a route guide processing, a case where a current position is a user'"'"'s own house or is separated from another destination by a predetermined distance, and a case where the current position is separated from a charging station by a predetermined distance.

9. The timer reminder device according to claim 8, further comprising:

an operation receiving portion that receives a user'"'"'s operation; and

an information changing portion that changes the timer setting information according to the user'"'"'s operation received by the operation receiving portion.

10. The timer reminder device according to claim 8, wherein

the determination portion determines whether the user is travelling on the vehicle as the display condition, and

the notification portion permits the display portion to display the timer setting information when the determination portion determines that the user is travelling.
