Vehicle-use electricity management system, vehicle-use electricity information management apparatus and vehicle-use electrical load
First Claim
1. A vehicle-use electricity management system for a vehicle, the vehicle-use electricity management system comprising:
- a plurality of electrical loads and an electricity supply unit supplying electricity to the electrical loads;
an electricity demand detection unit detecting electricity consumed by the electrical loads as electricity demand;
an electricity price information generation unit generating electricity price information indicative of a price of electricity consumed by the electrical loads as an electricity price based on the electricity demand detected by the electricity demand detection unit;
whereinat least one of the electrical loads includes an electricity consumption ability determination unit determining whether the electricity supplied from the electricity supply unit to the one electrical load can be consumed unconditionally based on a comparison between the electricity price information received from the electricity price information generation unit and electricity consumption ability information stored in the one electrical load, and an electricity consumption control unit controlling an amount of electricity consumed by the one electrical load based on a determination result made by the electricity consumption ability determination unit.

Abstract
The vehicle-use electricity management system includes an electricity demand detection means to detect electricity consumed by electrical loads, and an electricity price information generation means to generate electricity price information indicative of a price of electricity supplied to the electrical loads based on the electricity demand. At least one of the electrical loads includes an electricity consumption ability determination means to determine whether electricity supplied to the own electrical load can be consumed unconditionally based on comparison between the electricity price information received from the electricity price information generation means and electricity consumption ability information stored in the own electrical load, and an electricity consumption control means to control an amount of electricity consumed by the own electrical load based on a determination result made by the electricity consumption ability determination means.

14. A vehicle-use electricity information management apparatus mounted on a vehicle having a plurality of electrical loads and an electricity supply unit managing electricity supplied from the electricity supply unit to the electrical loads, the vehicle-use electricity information management apparatus comprising:
-
an electricity price information generation unit generating electricity price information indicative of a price of electricity used by the electric loads and supplied from the electricity supply unit to the electrical loads based on an electricity demand of the electrical loads; and an output unit outputting the electricity price information generated by the electricity price information generating unit to at least one of the electrical loads. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16)

17. A vehicle-use electrical load mounted on a vehicle and configured to operate on electricity supplied from an electricity supply unit mounted on the vehicle, the vehicle-use electrical load comprising:
-
an electricity consumption determination unit determining whether the vehicle-use electrical load can consume electricity supplied form the electricity supply unit unconditionally based on a comparison between electricity price information received from the electricity supply unit and electricity consumption ability information set in the vehicle-use electrical load, the electricity price information indicating a price of electricity used by the electrical load and supplied from the electricity supply unit, the electricity consumption ability information indicating a level of ability to consume electricity supplied from the electricity supply unit; and an electricity consumption control unit controlling an amount of electricity consumed by the vehicle-use electrical load in accordance with a determination result by the electricity consumption determination unit.
