Use of a charge-and-discharge spot can be promoted. A charge-and-discharge management system includes a setting controller that sets an incentive linked with a charge-and-discharge spot for each charge-and-discharge spot and a presentation controller that presents the incentive set for each charge-and-discharge spot to a user using an electric vehicle. The charge-and-discharge management system may further include an acquisition controller that connects the electric vehicle to a charge-and-discharge device installed in the charge-and-discharge spot and acquires connection spot information that is information of the charge-and-discharge spot that is a connection destination when charging and discharging is started, and a providing controller that provides an incentive set for the charge-and-discharge spot included in the connection spot information acquired by the acquisition controller when the charging and discharging of the electric vehicle is completed.

A service system includes a reservation section by which a reservation for a commodity or a service in a commercial facility can be made and specific information for an electric vehicle that visits the commercial facility can be set, a connection confirmation section that detects that an electric vehicle corresponding to the specific information set by the reservation section has been connected to a charge and discharge device of the commercial facility, and a notification section that notifies the commercial facility that connection of the electric vehicle corresponding to the specific information to the charge and discharge device has been detected by the connection confirmation section.

The method of controlling charging and discharging in a hybrid car power source detects remaining capacity of batteriesthat supply power to the motorthat drives the hybrid car, controls batterycharging and discharging to keep detected remaining capacity within a pre-set first targeted control range under normal conditions, and controls batterycharging and discharging to keep detected remaining capacity within a second targeted control range that is narrower than the first targeted control range when an abnormality is detected. Further, the method of controlling charging and discharging sets the second targeted control range to include the detected remaining capacity when the range for controlling batteryremaining capacity is switched from the first targeted control range to the second targeted control range at detection of an abnormality.

A power source apparatus for an electric automobile is provided with a battery system, having a driving battery to power an automobile driving motor and a battery control circuit to control driving battery charging and discharging as well as to compute driving battery remaining capacity, and an accessory battery to power automobile electrical accessories. When the automobile is in the stationary state a, charging circuit, which controls charging between the driving battery and accessory battery, charges the driving battery to a specified state with accessory battery power. The battery control circuit corrects the value of driving battery remaining capacity to a specified battery capacity, and subsequently charges the accessory battery with the driving battery to bring driving battery remaining capacity to a specified level.

Random components for each characteristic amount of a paper type to be examined are extracted on the basis of characteristic amounts of the paper type which are read from a plurality of portions on the paper type and reference data previously found with respect to the plurality of portions. Dirt components for each of the plurality of portions on the paper type to be examined are presumed on the basis of the extracted random components for each characteristic amount and a predetermined forecast model of the dirt components. The truth of the paper type to be examined is judged on the basis of the presumed dirt components and the extracted random components.
