Abstract

A method of displaying information on a display is provided. The method includes: receiving a request to display, on the display, information indicating whether each of a plurality of battery packs associated with the display, is mounted on a device of a plurality of devices associated with the display; in response to the request, displaying, on a monitor of the display, information indicating whether or not a battery pack of the plurality of battery packs associated with the display is mounted on each device of the plurality of devices associated with the display; receiving a selection of a battery pack from the plurality of battery packs displayed on the display; and in response to the selection of the battery pack, displaying information on the selected battery pack. Each of the plurality of battery packs is mountable on the plurality of devices.

Claims

1. A method for displaying information on a display, comprising:

receiving a request to display, on the display, information indicating whether each of a plurality of battery packs associated with the display, is mounted on a device of a plurality of devices associated with the display, each of the plurality of battery packs being mountable on the plurality of devices;

in response to the request, displaying, on a monitor of the display, information indicating whether or not a battery pack of the plurality of battery packs associated with the display is mounted on each device of the plurality of devices associated with the display;

receiving a selection of a battery pack from the plurality of battery packs displayed on the display; and

in response to the selection of the battery pack, displaying information on the selected battery pack.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein, in the displaying the information on the selected battery pack, the information includes information identifying the selected battery pack.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein, in the displaying the information on the selected batter pack, the information includes information relating to a total usage period of the selected battery pack.

4. The method according to claim 1, wherein, in the displaying the information on the selected batter pack, the information includes information relating to life expectancy of the selected battery pack.

5. The method according to claim 1, wherein, in the displaying the information on the selected batter pack, the information includes information relating to whether or not there is abnormality or deterioration of the selected battery pack.

6. The method according to claim 1, wherein, in the displaying the information on the selected batter pack, the information includes a bar graph indicating a remaining charge of the selected battery pack.

7. The method according to claim 1 further comprising:

storing, in advance, a table correlating each device of the plurality of devices with a number of times of charging of each battery pack, which will render each battery pack unusable with the device;

acquiring a number of times of charging of the selected battery pack;

determining whether a device of the plurality of devices can be operated when the selected battery pack is mounted on the device based on the acquired number of times of charging of the selected battery pack and the table,

wherein, in the displaying the information on the selected batter pack, the information includes information indicating that the device is operable with the selected battery pack, upon determining that the device is operable with the selected battery pack.

8. The method according to claim 7, wherein, in the displaying the information on the selected batter pack, the information includes information indicating that the device is not operable with the selected battery pack, upon determining that the device is not operable with the selected battery pack.

9. A method for displaying information on a display, comprising:

receiving a request to display, on the display, information indicating whether each of a plurality of battery packs associated with the display, is mounted on a distribution board;

in response to the request, displaying, on a monitor of the display, information indicating whether or not a battery pack of the plurality of battery packs associated with the display is mounted on the distribution board;

receiving a selection of a battery pack from the plurality of battery packs displayed on the display; and

in response to the selection of the battery pack, displaying information on the selected battery pack.

10. The method according to claim 9, wherein, in the displaying the information on the selected battery pack, the information identifying the selected battery pack.

11. The method according to claim 9, wherein, in the displaying the information on the selected batter pack, the information includes information relating to a total usage period of the selected battery pack.

12. The method according to claim 9, wherein, in the displaying the information on the selected batter pack, the information includes information relating to life expectancy of the selected battery pack.

13. The method according to claim 9, wherein, in the displaying the information on the selected batter pack, the information includes information relating to whether or not there is abnormality or deterioration of the selected battery pack.

14. The method according to claim 9, wherein, in the displaying the information on the selected batter pack, the information includes a bar graph indicating a remaining charge of the selected battery pack.
