Abstract
When a monitor apparatus judges that a vehicle has stopped at a predetermined position (step), the monitor apparatus transmits pseudo position information of the vehicle (dummy data) to an automatic charging apparatus (step). The automatic charging apparatus calculates a charge amount on the basis of the dummy data, and transmits the result of the calculation to the monitor apparatus. The monitor apparatus receives the result (step) and judges on the basis of the result whether the automatic charging apparatus is in an anomalous state (step). Since the above-described successive operations are performed only when the vehicle stays, the status of another automatic charging apparatus not monitored is not misidentified as the status of an automatic charging apparatus to be monitored.
