Power consumption recording apparatus and program for the same
First Claim
1. A power consumption recording apparatus mounted on a vehicle, comprising:
- a first detection means for sequentially detecting a plurality of power consumption events by the vehicle corresponding to a plurality of travels as a result of traveling a section by the vehicle more than once;
a second detection means for sequentially detecting at least one of a plurality of time attributes corresponding to the plurality of travels on the section by the vehicle and a plurality of occupant counts corresponding to the plurality of travels for the time attributes; and
a recording means for classifying the plurality of power consumption events detected by the first detection means into a plurality of groups based on power consumption magnitudes and recording a representative power consumption representative of the plurality of power consumption events belonging to each of the plurality of groups and a time attribute or an occupant count corresponding to occurrence of a power consumption belonging to a given group in association with each other.

Abstract
A power consumption recording apparatus is provided that can perform the following for multiple travels of a section traveled by the vehicle. The apparatus can detect as many power consumption events used by the vehicle as the multiple travels. When the vehicle has traveled a given section, the apparatus detects time attributes and occupant counts for the multiple travels. The apparatus divides the power consumption events detected for the section into groups based on power consumption magnitudes. For each group, the apparatus can record a representative power consumption of power consumption events belonging to the group, a time attribute and an occupant count corresponding to occurrence of the power consumption belonging to the group, and the number of occurrences of respective power consumption events, in association with each other.

10. An apparatus for recording power consumption of a vehicle, the apparatus comprising:
-
a first detector sequentially detecting a plurality of power consumption events corresponding to a plurality of travels over a route section; a second detector sequentially detecting one of a plurality of time attributes corresponding to the plurality of travels and a plurality of occupant counts for the plurality of travels; and a classification unit for classifying the plurality of power consumption events detected by the first detector into groups based on power consumption magnitudes and identifying for each of the groups a representative power consumption representative of ones of the plurality of power consumption events in each of the groups and one of a time attribute and an occupant count corresponding to occurrence of a power consumption belonging to a given group in association with each other. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
