A control method executed by a computer configured to be able to communicate with a vehicle includes: storing a work item included in a charging operation to the vehicle and a work time of the work item in association with each other; and outputting an alert when an end notification of the work item is not received from the vehicle before the work time.

Control method

The determination device includes an acquisition unit and a control unit. The acquisition unit acquires sensor information output by a sensor that detects an obstacle around the vehicle to be charged. The control unit identifies an obstacle located around the vehicle based on the sensor information, and determines whether or not the vehicle can be charged by the power supply vehicle.

Determination device

The information transmission device includes a communication unit and a control unit. The communication unit receives position information indicating the current position of the power supply vehicle from at least one of the power supply vehicle and the general vehicle when the power supply vehicle moves to the position of the general vehicle and charges the general vehicle. The control unit generates display information based on the received position information, and causes the communication unit to transmit the display information to one or more information terminals.

Information transmission device

A vehicle includes a camera, a detection mechanism, and a processor. The camera is mounted on the vehicle and captures images of the vehicle's interior. The detection mechanism detects that the vehicle is unlocked by an authorized worker. Upon detection of such unlocking, the processor triggers the camera to capture images within a predetermined range.
