Vehicular information processing device
First Claim
1. A vehicular information processing device of a vehicle having an internal combustion engine, a battery and a motor, the vehicular information processing device comprising:
- a memory storing;
a travel route between a departure place and a destination, the travel route including a plurality of sections, anda travel plan identifying one of a first mode or a second mode as a traveling condition of the vehicle for each of the sections in the travel route based on a road load of each section; and
a processor programmed to;
select one of;
(i) the first mode that restrains or prohibits operation of the internal combustion engine to prioritize an operation of the motor that consumes a charge amount of the battery, or (ii) the second mode that activates at least one of the engine and the motor to maintain the charge amount of the battery,obtain a total distance that the vehicle has traveled in the first mode as a first distance based on a result of traveling of the vehicle according to the travel plan,estimate a total distance for which the vehicle would have traveled in the first mode on the condition that the vehicle travels with the first mode preferentially assigned to the travel route separately from the travel plan as a second distance, anddisplay information corresponding to the first distance and information corresponding to the second distance after the vehicle has traveled, in order to notify a user of a change in distance of the first mode resulting from traveling according to the travel plan.

Abstract
A vehicle in a first mode consumes a charge amount of a battery. The vehicle in a second mode maintains the charge amount of the battery. An obtaining circuitry obtains, as a first distance, a total distance for which the vehicle has traveled in the first mode. When the vehicle is assumed to have traveled with the first mode preferentially assigned to the travel route separately from the travel plan, an estimating circuitry estimates, as a second distance, a total distance for which the vehicle would have traveled in the first mode. A notifying circuitry notifies the first distance information and the second distance information.
