Abstract:
The power supply system, which may be used with an electric car, extends the life of a high voltage battery while minimizing electric power required for vehicle actions. A temperature sensor measures a temperature of the high voltage battery. A controller preferentially drives first loads given first priority among a plurality of loads driven by the high voltage battery, other than a drive motor, based on an electric power amount that the high voltage battery is able to output and an electric power amount required by the drive motor for driving a vehicle when the temperature of the high voltage battery is not higher than a predetermined temperature. The controller preferentially drives in-vehicle devices of the highest priority among in-vehicle devices based on the electric power amount that the high voltage battery is able to output and the required electric power amount of the drive motor for driving the vehicle.

A DC-DC converter includes a power conversion unit, a load amount detector, a charge detector that detects whether or not a battery is being charged, a switching frequency setting unit, and a switching controller. The load amount detector detects a load amount of the power conversion unit. The switching frequency setting unit sets a switching frequency of a switching element based on the load amount when the charge detector detects that the battery is not being charged, and sets the switching frequency of the switching element to a predetermined value when the charge detector detects that the battery is being charged.

Abstract:
A battery state monitoring portion intermittently monitors the low voltage battery for supplying power to electrical components arranged in a vehicle while the power supply to the low voltage system load other than a +B load is stopped, a DCDC converter is stopped, and a +B power supply mode in which the vehicle cannot travel is set. A charging control portion starts up the DCDC converter and charges the low voltage battery with the power of a high voltage battery as a power source of the vehicle through the DCDC converter when the voltage of the low voltage battery becomes lower than or equal to a charging start voltage when the +B power supply mode is set. The present invention can be applied to a charging device of a battery of an electric vehicle.

A vehicle power-supply control device has a battery charger that converts an externally-supplied AC voltage into a DC voltage used to charge a vehicle high-voltage battery, a low-voltage power generator that converts the DC voltage output from the battery charger into a DC voltage used to drive a vehicle auxiliary machine, and a controller that controls the battery charger and the low-voltage power generator. The battery charger includes a power factor correction circuit that corrects a power factor of the AC voltage and a first DC/DC converter that generates a predetermined DC voltage based on an output of the power factor correction circuit. The low-voltage power generator includes a second DC/DC converter that steps down the DC voltage output from the battery charger and a synchronous rectifier that rectifies an output of the second DC/DC converter in synchronization with a switching operation of the second DC/DC converter.

This invention aims to more appropriately perform reserved charging of a battery, which is a power source of a vehicle. A necessary capacity calculation unit obtains a necessary capacity, which is a necessary capacity of the battery, based on at least one of an average traveling distance of the vehicle and an average consuming amount of the battery for a predetermined time. A charging time calculation unit obtains a time necessary for charging from a currently remaining amount of the battery to the necessary capacity as a charging time. A reserved time setting unit sets a charging start time of the battery between a current time and a time in which the charging time is subtracted from a use start time set by a user, and sets a time the charging time elapsed from the charging start time as a charging end time. A charging control unit controls to charge the battery from the set charging start time to the charging end time. The present invention can be applied to a charging control device of an electrical vehicle.

Abstract:
Easy execution of proximity communication with a specific vehicle is to be enabled. A mobile proximity radio-communication terminal receives an event-report application which is sent from an application server for causing a mode to transit to a vehicle communication mode which performs proximity communication with an on-board proximity radiocommunication terminal mounted on a vehicle that is suffering from generation of abnormality and permits the mode to transit into the vehicle communication mode based on such event-report application and then sends authentication information to the on-board proximity radiocommunication terminal by proximity communication. The on-board proximity radiocommunication terminal receives the authentication information from the mobile proximity radiocommunication terminal and controls, based such authentication information, a prespecified operation relating to the vehicle to thereby perform proximity communication with a specific vehicle, thereby making it possible to permit this vehicle to perform a specific operation This invention is applicable to information processing systems.
