ここで、利用側ＩＤは、ワイヤレス給電を提供する携帯端末Ｔを識別する端末ＩＤなどの個体識別情報や契約者ＩＤなどの識別情報でもよいし、携帯端末Ｔのユーザを識別するログインＩＤなどの識別情報でもよい。利用者記憶手段２５は、上記のような利用側ＩＤと、ユーザの決済用情報と、を関連付けて記憶する手段である（例えば図２（２））。   Here, the use side ID may be individual identification information such as a terminal ID for identifying the portable terminal T that provides wireless power feeding, or identification information such as a contractor ID, or a login ID for identifying a user of the portable terminal T. Identification information may also be used. The user storage means 25 is means for storing the use side ID as described above and the user's payment information in association with each other (for example, FIG. 2 (2)).

〔２−２．給電装置から仲介装置への位置登録〕
また、登録の際、給電装置２は自らの設置位置を取得し仲介装置１へ送信することがでできる。この場合、給電装置２では（図１）、位置情報送信を指示するものとして予め定められた操作を受け付けたことに応じて、位置取得手段２３が、自装置の位置情報をＧＰＳや携帯基地局の情報などから取得し、位置送信手段２５は、取得された位置情報を、予め記憶している自装置の提供側ＩＤとともに、予め定められた仲介装置１へ送信する。 [2-2. (Registration from the power supply device to the mediation device)
Further, at the time of registration, the power supply device 2 can acquire its own installation position and transmit it to the mediation device 1. In this case, in the power feeding device 2 (FIG. 1), in response to receiving a predetermined operation for instructing transmission of location information, the location acquisition unit 23 obtains the location information of the device itself from the GPS or mobile base station. The position transmitting means 25 transmits the acquired position information to a predetermined intermediary apparatus 1 together with the providing side ID of the own apparatus stored in advance.

このように送信された位置情報を、仲介装置１では登録受付手段２０などが対応する提供側ＩＤと対応付けて位置記憶手段２０５に記憶させる。すなわち、位置記憶手段２０５は、提供者の登録に係る給電装置２の位置情報を記憶している手段であるが、位置記憶手段２０５は、図２（１）に例示するように利用者記憶手段２５に給電装置２の位置情報を記憶するフィールドを設けることで兼ねてもよい。   The location information transmitted in this way is stored in the location storage unit 205 in association with the provider ID corresponding to the registration accepting unit 20 or the like in the intermediary device 1. That is, the position storage unit 205 is a unit that stores the position information of the power supply apparatus 2 related to the registration of the provider, but the position storage unit 205 is a user storage unit as illustrated in FIG. 25 may be provided with a field for storing the position information of the power feeding device 2.

〔２−３．ワイヤレス給電の利用〕
上記のように記憶した給電装置２の位置情報について、用途は自由であるが、典型的には、利用者の携帯端末Ｔに近くにある給電装置２を案内するのに用いることができる。この場合、携帯端末Ｔから仲介装置１へ、携帯端末Ｔの位置情報を送信して最寄りの給電装置２の検索を要求する。 [2-3. (Use of wireless power supply)
The position information of the power supply device 2 stored as described above can be used for any purpose, but can typically be used to guide the power supply device 2 near the user's mobile terminal T. In this case, the location information of the mobile terminal T is transmitted from the mobile terminal T to the intermediary device 1 and a search for the nearest power feeding device 2 is requested.

このように携帯端末Ｔから給電装置２へアクセスして、位置情報や要求を送信するにあたり、給電装置２が提供する所定のウェブページへ携帯端末Ｔからアクセスするか、又は携帯端末Ｔに予めインストールした所定の充電用アプリケーションプログラムの機能で給電装置２へアクセスさせるなど、具体的態様は自由である。   In this way, when accessing the power supply apparatus 2 from the mobile terminal T and transmitting position information and requests, the mobile terminal T accesses a predetermined web page provided by the power supply apparatus 2 or is installed in the mobile terminal T in advance. The specific mode is free, for example, the power supply device 2 is accessed by the function of the predetermined charging application program.

このような要求を受けて、機能位置受信手段２１０は、携帯端末Ｔから携帯端末Ｔの位置情報を受信すると、近傍装置案内手段２２は、受信された携帯端末Ｔの位置情報から所定範囲内の給電装置２の位置情報を抽出して、現在地からの経路を表示した地図画面による案内の情報などとして、携帯端末Ｔに送信する。   In response to such a request, when the functional position receiving unit 210 receives the position information of the portable terminal T from the portable terminal T, the nearby device guide unit 22 falls within a predetermined range from the received position information of the portable terminal T. The position information of the power feeding device 2 is extracted and transmitted to the mobile terminal T as guidance information on a map screen displaying a route from the current location.

〔２−４．携帯端末での処理〕
上記のような案内により又は利用者が給電装置２を発見し、ワイヤレス給電部５１の図示しない充電台などに携帯端末Ｔのワイヤレス給電部３１をあてがったりそれに加え所定の操作を行うなど、所定の給電開始操作を行うと（図３のステップＳ１１，Ｓ２１：「ＹＥＳ」）、給電が開始される。 [2-4. (Processing on mobile terminal)
Through the above guidance or when the user discovers the power supply device 2, the wireless power supply unit 31 of the portable terminal T is applied to a charging stand (not shown) of the wireless power supply unit 51 or a predetermined operation is performed in addition to the predetermined operation. When a power feeding start operation is performed (steps S11 and S21 in FIG. 3: “YES”), power feeding is started.

すなわち、給電装置２からのワイヤレス給電部３１，５１による給電に際し（図３のステップＳ１１，Ｓ２１：「ＹＥＳ」）、近距離通信制御手段４２が、近距離無線通信部３２による近距離無線通信により、その給電装置２からの提供側ＩＤの受信、又は利用側ＩＤ記憶手段４１に予め記憶されている利用側ＩＤの給電装置２への送信、の少なくとも一方を行わせる（ステップＳ１２，Ｓ２２）。   That is, when power is supplied from the power supply device 2 by the wireless power supply units 31 and 51 (steps S11 and S21 in FIG. 3: “YES”), the short-range communication control unit 42 performs near-field wireless communication by the short-range wireless communication unit 32. Then, at least one of reception side ID reception from the power supply device 2 or transmission of the usage side ID stored in the usage side ID storage means 41 to the power supply device 2 in advance is performed (steps S12 and S22).

ここで、給電情報を仲介装置１に収集するパターンは２つあり、給電に係る提供側ＩＤと利用側ＩＤを携帯端末Ｔがとりまとめて仲介装置１へ送る第一パターン（「携帯端末パターン」とも呼ぶこととする）と、それらＩＤを逆に給電装置２がとりまとめて仲介装置１へ送る第二パターン（「給電装置パターン」とも呼ぶこととする）とである。   Here, there are two patterns for collecting power supply information in the mediation device 1, and the first pattern (the “mobile terminal pattern”) in which the portable terminal T collects the providing side ID and the usage side ID related to power feeding and sends them to the mediation device 1. And a second pattern (which will also be referred to as a “power supply device pattern”) that the power supply device 2 collects and sends these IDs to the intermediary device 1.

そして、近距離通信制御手段４２が行わせる前記「給電装置２からの提供側ＩＤの受信」は、前者の携帯端末パターンに対応し、前記「利用側ＩＤの給電装置２への送信」は後者の給電装置パターンに対応する。   The “reception of the providing side ID from the power supply device 2” performed by the short-range communication control means 42 corresponds to the former portable terminal pattern, and the “transmission of the use side ID to the power supply device 2” is the latter. This corresponds to the power supply device pattern.

給電の後、給電装置２の前記充電台から携帯端末Ｔが取り上げられるなど、給電が終了すると（ステップＳ１４，Ｓ２４：「ＹＥＳ」）、計測制御手段４３が、給電による充電量を充電池制御部３３で計測させる（ステップＳ２５）。充電量の計測する手法は自由であるが、例えば、リチウムイオン充電池の制御チップが把握している充放電量の情報を活用したり、給電の前後における電圧差から計算するなどが考えられる。   After the power feeding, when the power feeding is finished, such as when the portable terminal T is taken up from the charging stand of the power feeding device 2 (steps S14 and S24: “YES”), the measurement control unit 43 determines the amount of charge by the power feeding to the rechargeable battery control unit. It is made to measure by 33 (step S25). Although the method for measuring the charge amount is arbitrary, for example, it is conceivable to use information on the charge / discharge amount grasped by the control chip of the lithium ion rechargeable battery, or to calculate from the voltage difference before and after feeding.

そして、携帯端末パターンの場合、給電量等送信手段４４が通信部３４に、計測された給電量の情報を、利用側ＩＤ記憶手段４１に予め記憶されている給電の利用者としての利用側ＩＤと、受信された提供側ＩＤと共に、仲介装置１へ通信ネットワークＮで送信させる（ステップＳ２６）。   And in the case of a portable terminal pattern, the power supply amount transmission means 44 sends the information on the measured power supply amount to the communication unit 34, and the use side ID as a power supply user stored in the use side ID storage means 41 in advance. Together with the received provider ID, it is transmitted to the mediation apparatus 1 via the communication network N (step S26).

給電装置パターンの場合、給電量等送信手段４４は、給電量の情報を利用側ＩＤと共に仲介装置１へ送信させる。給電装置パターンの場合について、携帯端末Ｔから仲介装置１へ送信するデータの例を図２（４）に示す。   In the case of the power supply device pattern, the power supply amount transmission means 44 transmits information on the power supply amount to the mediation device 1 together with the use side ID. An example of data transmitted from the portable terminal T to the mediation device 1 in the case of the power supply device pattern is shown in FIG.

なお、携帯端末パターンと給電装置パターンは併用可能である。すなわち、給電装置２と携帯端末Ｔとの間で提供側ＩＤと利用側ＩＤを互いに交換し、双方から提供側ＩＤと利用側ＩＤのペアを仲介装置１へ送信すれば信頼性が高まる。   The portable terminal pattern and the power supply device pattern can be used in combination. That is, if the providing side ID and the use side ID are exchanged between the power supply apparatus 2 and the portable terminal T, and the pair of the providing side ID and the use side ID is transmitted to the mediation apparatus 1 from both, the reliability increases.

〔２−５．給電装置での処理〕
一方、携帯端末Ｔでの処理に対応し、給電装置２では、ワイヤレス給電部５１で携帯端末Ｔへ給電を提供するに際し（ステップＳ１１：「ＹＥＳ」）、近距離通信制御手段６２が、近距離無線通信部５２による近距離無線通信により、提供側ＩＤの携帯端末Ｔへの送信（携帯端末パターンの場合）又は携帯端末Ｔからの利用側ＩＤの受信（給電装置パターンの場合）の少なくとも一方を行う（ステップＳ１２）。 [2-5. (Processing in the power supply device)
On the other hand, in response to the processing in the mobile terminal T, when the power feeding device 2 provides power to the mobile terminal T by the wireless power feeding unit 51 (step S11: “YES”), the short-range communication control unit 62 By short-range wireless communication by the wireless communication unit 52, at least one of transmission of the providing side ID to the portable terminal T (in the case of the portable terminal pattern) or reception of the usage side ID from the portable terminal T (in the case of the power feeding device pattern) is performed. It performs (step S12).

また、給電後（ステップＳ１３，ステップＳ１４：「ＹＥＳ」）、給電情報送信手段６４が通信手段８に、携帯端末パターンの場合は提供側ＩＤを、給電装置パターンの場合は提供側ＩＤに加え、受信した利用側ＩＤを、仲介装置１へ通信ネットワークＮで送信させる（ステップＳ１６）。給電装置パターンの場合について、給電装置２から仲介装置１へ送信するデータの例を図２（３）に示す。   In addition, after power feeding (step S13, step S14: “YES”), the power feeding information transmission means 64 is added to the communication means 8, in the case of a mobile terminal pattern, the providing side ID, in the case of the power feeding device pattern, in addition to the providing side ID, The received use side ID is transmitted to the mediation apparatus 1 via the communication network N (step S16). An example of data transmitted from the power supply device 2 to the mediation device 1 in the case of the power supply device pattern is shown in FIG.

〔２−６．仲介装置での処理〕
給電の都度、仲介装置１の給電情報受信手段７０が、以上のように給電装置２や携帯端末Ｔから送信される利用側ＩＤ、提供側ＩＤと充電量の情報を受信するとともに、それら提供側ＩＤ、利用側ＩＤ及び充電量の情報を給電情報記憶手段７５に記憶させる（ステップＳ３１）。 [2-6. Processing at mediation device]
Each time power is supplied, the power supply information receiving means 70 of the intermediary device 1 receives the information on the use side ID, the supply side ID, and the charge amount transmitted from the power supply device 2 and the portable terminal T as described above, and the supply side Information on the ID, the use side ID, and the charge amount is stored in the power supply information storage unit 75 (step S31).

具体的には、給電装置パターンでは、給電を提供した給電装置２から、その給電装置２が携帯端末Ｔから近距離無線通信で受信した利用側ＩＤと、その給電装置２の提供側ＩＤと、を受信し（図２（３））、携帯端末Ｔからは、その携帯端末Ｔの利用側ＩＤ及び充電量の情報を受信する（図２（４））。   Specifically, in the power supply device pattern, from the power supply device 2 that provided power supply, the power supply device 2 received by the short-range wireless communication from the mobile terminal T, the providing side ID of the power supply device 2, and (FIG. 2 (3)), and from the portable terminal T, information on the use side ID and the charge amount of the portable terminal T is received (FIG. 2 (4)).

携帯端末パターンでは、給電を受けた携帯端末Ｔから、その携帯端末Ｔが給電装置２から近距離無線通信で受信した提供側ＩＤと、その携帯端末Ｔの利用側ＩＤと、充電量の情報と、を受信すると共に給電装置２から、その給電装置２の提供側ＩＤと、を受信する。   In the mobile terminal pattern, from the mobile terminal T that has received power supply, the providing side ID that the mobile terminal T has received from the power supply apparatus 2 via short-range wireless communication, the use side ID of the mobile terminal T, and the charge amount information , And the supply side ID of the power supply device 2 is received from the power supply device 2.

そして、照合確認手段８０が、給電装置２又は携帯端末Ｔの一方から受信された提供側ＩＤ及び利用側ＩＤと、他方から受信した利用側ＩＤ又は提供側ＩＤと、を照合することで給電の事実を確認する（ステップＳ３２。例えば図２（５））。そのうえで、料金決済手段９０は、確認された給電に係る料金について、受信された充電量の情報と、提供側ＩＤに係る決済用情報と、利用側ＩＤに係る決済用情報と、に基づいて決済する（ステップＳ３３。例えば図２（６））。   And the collation confirmation means 80 collates supply side ID and utilization side ID received from one side of the electric power feeding apparatus 2 or the portable terminal T, and utilization side ID or provision side ID received from the other, and performs electric power feeding. The fact is confirmed (step S32, for example, FIG. 2 (5)). In addition, the charge settlement unit 90 settles the confirmed charge related to the power supply based on the received charge amount information, the settlement information related to the providing side ID, and the settlement information related to the use side ID. (Step S33. For example, FIG. 2 (6)).

〔３．効果〕

そして、前記一方からのＩＤのペアと他方からのＩＤを照合し給電の事実を確認のうえ（ステップＳ３２）、その料金を、充電量の情報及び利用者と提供者の決済用情報を基に決済する（ステップＳ３３）。これにより、ポータルサイトのユーザＩＤや決済サービスを活用した信頼性の高い仲介サービスを提供すると共に、事業者用の設備やクレジットカード加盟店契約などの障壁を撤廃し、給電装置２という簡易な設備でのワイヤレス給電の提供を可能にすることができる。   Then, the ID pair from one side and the ID from the other side are collated to confirm the fact of power supply (step S32), and the charge is determined based on the charge amount information and the payment information of the user and the provider. Settlement (step S33). This provides a highly reliable intermediary service that utilizes the portal site user ID and payment service, eliminates barriers such as facilities for business operators and credit card member store contracts, and provides a simple facility called a power supply device 2 Wireless power supply can be provided.

（２） 特に、本実施形態では、給電装置２から受信したり提供者が入力した給電装置２の位置情報と、携帯端末Ｔの位置情報を基に、近くの給電装置２の位置を携帯端末Ｔに案内することにより、携帯端末Ｔのユーザは出先で電池残量が減っても容易に給電装置２へ到達できるので、ワイヤレス給電の提供が一層促進される。 (2) In particular, in the present embodiment, the position of the nearby power supply device 2 is determined based on the position information of the power supply device 2 received from the power supply device 2 or input by the provider and the position information of the mobile terminal T. By guiding to T, the user of the portable terminal T can easily reach the power supply apparatus 2 even when the remaining battery level is low at the destination, so that the provision of wireless power supply is further promoted.

（３） また、本実施形態では、ＧＰＳや無線基地局の位置などに基づく位置情報を給電装置２から仲介装置１へ送信することにより、その位置情報を、提供者が登録時に給電装置２の設置位置や住所等を入力する煩雑な手間の省略、給電装置２の位置案内などに活用できるので、ワイヤレス給電の提供が一層促進される。 (3) Further, in the present embodiment, the position information based on the position of the GPS or the wireless base station is transmitted from the power supply apparatus 2 to the mediation apparatus 1, so that the provider can register the position information of the power supply apparatus 2 at the time of registration. Since it can be utilized for the troublesome trouble of inputting the installation position, address, and the like, and for the position guidance of the power feeding device 2, provision of wireless power feeding is further promoted.

（４） さらに、本実施形態では、携帯端末Ｔにインストールするプログラムで、給電に際し給電装置２と近距離無線通信で交換（ステップＳ１２，Ｓ２２）した提供側ＩＤ、利用側ＩＤと、計測した充電量（ステップＳ２５）を仲介装置１へ送信することにより（ステップＳ２６）、仲介装置１では給電装置２側からのＩＤと突き合わせて給電の事実が確認できると共に（ステップＳ３２）、給電による実際の充電量が客観的に特定できる（ステップＳ３３）。 (4) Further, in the present embodiment, the program installed in the portable terminal T, the providing side ID and the use side ID exchanged with the power supply device 2 by short-range wireless communication (steps S12 and S22) at the time of power feeding, and the measured charging By transmitting the amount (step S25) to the intermediary device 1 (step S26), the intermediary device 1 can confirm the fact of power feeding by matching the ID from the power feeding device 2 side (step S32), and the actual charging by power feeding The amount can be objectively specified (step S33).

このため、プログラムと適合する携帯端末Ｔならばメーカーや通信会社（キャリア）を問わず給電が安心確実に利用できるうえ、給電装置２と携帯端末Ｔの位置関係などで伝送量や充電量が変化するワイヤレス給電においても公平な課金が実現できる。したがって、ワイヤレス給電の提供が一層促進される。   For this reason, if the mobile terminal T conforms to the program, the power supply can be used safely and reliably regardless of the manufacturer or the communication company (carrier), and the transmission amount and the charge amount change depending on the positional relationship between the power supply device 2 and the mobile terminal T. Even in the case of wireless power supply, a fair charge can be realized. Accordingly, provision of wireless power feeding is further promoted.
