Abstract: A server device acquires profile information (setting information) on user's needs regarding battery replacement from a user terminal, and analyzes historical information on battery replacement at each station to generate an unavailability index representing a degree of unavailability of battery lease. When a specific event occurs (i.e., information on a suitable battery station or an alert of battery replacement necessity is provided), a user terminal displays a notification screen (station screen or alert screen) for notification of the event, generated by the server device based on profile information and an unavailability index.

Abstract: The time and effort of the user when exchanging batteries can be minimized, and security can be sufficiently ensured in user authentication. A battery exchanger (3) is provided with a camera (11) for capturing an image of a visitor, and a management server (4) performs face verification to determine if the visitor is an authentic user according to face image information of the visitor acquired from the image captured by the camera. Based on the face verification result, the management server determines if battery exchange is permitted, and notifies the determination result to the battery exchanger. Further, based on identification information of the battery pack brought in by the visitor, the management server performs battery verification to determine if the battery pack brought in by the visitor is permitted to be exchanged, and based on the result of the battery verification, determines if the battery exchange should be permitted.

Abstract: The present application includes: battery packs; a battery exchanger for storing and charging the battery packs and renting the charged battery packs to users; a management server for managing battery exchange at the battery exchanger; and a registration machine for acquiring face images for registration used in face authentication of the users. The registration machine acquires the face images for registration and specific information which is information other than the face images and is used to specify the users, and the management server acquires the specific information of each user from the registration machine to perform user management, compares a face image for authentication acquired from a captured image of a person who has visited for battery exchange with the face images for registration to face match to determine whether the person is a legitimate user, and determines whether the battery exchange is permitted based on the face matching.

Abstract: Provided is a battery share system in which a necessary change in the scale of a battery exchange device can be made with ease and at low cost even after the start of operating a service. A plurality of battery charging modules for holding a battery pack are attached to a support post to form a battery exchange apparatus. A battery charging module is detachably attached to the support post. A battery charging module includes a tray for guiding the battery pack to a predetermined mounting position and holding the battery pack at the mounting position. The tray includes a power transmitter terminal for transmitting charging power to the battery pack, a communication terminal for transmitting battery management information from the battery pack, and an indicator for indicating a state-of-charge of the battery pack.
