VEHICULAR INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE
First Claim
1. A vehicular information processing device, which processes information of a vehicle, whereinthe vehicle selects one of a first mode and a second mode and travels,the first mode restrains or prohibits operation of an internal combustion engine, while prioritizing operation of a motor, which consumes a charge amount of a battery,the second mode activates at least one of the engine and the motor to maintain the charge amount of the battery,a travel route from a departure place to a destination includes a plurality of sections,a travel plan assigns one of the first mode and the second mode to each of the sections based on a road load of each section, andthe vehicular information processing device comprises:
- an obtaining circuitry, which obtains, as a first distance, a total distance for which the vehicle has traveled in the first mode based on a result of traveling of the vehicle according to the travel plan;
an estimating circuitry, wherein, when the vehicle is assumed to have traveled with the first mode preferentially assigned to the travel route separately from the travel plan, the estimating circuitry estimates, as the second distance, a total distance for which the vehicle would have traveled in the first mode; and
a notifying circuitry, which notifies information corresponding to the first distance and information corresponding to the second distance.

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.
