    摘要: A charge control device can include a plurality of control units that are mutually connected by a communication line and control charging of different batteries. The control units can each include a communication state acquisition unit that acquires a communication state of another control unit of the control units through the communication line. The control units can each include a detection unit that detects an abnormality of the other control unit based on the communication state of the other control unit acquired by the communication state acquisition unit. The control units can each include a suppression unit that suppresses an operation of the other control unit for which an abnormality is detected by the detection unit.

    摘要: An information providing apparatus provides information concerning a lendable electric power supply device. More specifically, the information providing apparatus for providing information via a network in response to a request from a terminal, performs the following processes. The apparatus receives, from the terminal via the network, an information request concerning a lendable electric power supply device configured to supply electric power, acquires information concerning electric power that can be provided by the electric power supply device and a lending price of the electric power supply device by communicating with the electric power supply device via the network. The apparatus further edits, based on the acquired information, information to be provided to the terminal that has issued the information request, and transmits the edited information to the terminal that has issued the information request via the network.
