1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
- a controller that controls a supply route of electric power in a house;
a determining unit that determines, based on a driving schedule of an electric vehicle, necessary energy with which a car battery of the electric vehicle should be charged; and
a detector that detects first charge energy with which the car battery is charged, and a calculator that calculates surplus energy in the car battery based on a difference between the first charge energy and the necessary energy,wherein said controller selects, based on the necessary energy and the first charge energy, which one of electric power supplied from a power company and electric power supplied from the car battery is to be consumed in the house, andwherein said controller supplies, from the car battery, electric power corresponding to the calculated surplus energy for consumption in the house.

8. An information processing method comprising:
-
determining, based on a driving schedule of an electric vehicle, necessary energy with which a car battery should be charged; detecting first charge energy with which the car battery is charged; controlling a supply route of electric power in a house by selecting, based on the necessary energy and the first charge energy, which one of electric power supplied from a power company and electric power supplied from the car battery of the electric vehicle is to be consumed in the house; and calculating surplus energy in the car battery based on a difference between the first charge energy and the necessary energy, wherein on controlling, it is determined based on the necessary energy and the first charge energy, which one of electric power supplied from a power company and electric power supplied from the car battery is to be consumed in the house and wherein electric power corresponding to the calculated surplus energy for consumption in the house is supplied from the car battery.

9. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing an information processing program that causes a computer to execute a method comprising:
-
determining, based on a driving schedule of an electric vehicle, necessary energy with which a car battery should be charged; detecting first charge energy with which the car battery is charged; and controlling a supply route of electric power in a house by selecting, based on the necessary energy and the first charge energy, which one of electric power supplied from a power company and electric power supplied from the car battery of the electric vehicle is to be consumed in the house; and calculating surplus energy in the car battery based on a difference between the first charge energy and the necessary energy, wherein on controlling, it is determined based on the necessary energy and the first charge energy, which one of electric power supplied from a power company and electric power supplied from the car battery is to be consumed in the house and wherein electric power corresponding to the calculated surplus energy for consumption in the house is supplied from the car battery.

10. An information processing system comprising:
-
a switching apparatus that is installed in a house and switches a supply route of electric power to be consumed in the house to one of power sources including at least a car battery of an electric vehicle and electric power supplied from a power company; and an information processing apparatus, said information processing apparatus comprising; a determining unit that determines, based on a driving schedule of the electric vehicle, necessary energy with which the car battery should be charged; a detector that detects first charge energy with which the car battery is charged; a calculator that calculates surplus energy in the car battery based on a difference between the first charge energy and the necessary energy; and a controller that selects, based on the necessary energy and the first charge energy, which one of electric power corresponding to the surplus energy supplied from the car battery and electric power supplied from the outside of the house is to be consumed in the house and controls the supply route of the electric power in the house.
