Abstract

A selection apparatus includes an acquirer configured to acquire information of a usage state of at least one reuse component before being reused and a purpose of use of the at least one reused component; and a selector configured to select a reused component suitable for the purpose of use based on the usage state.

Claims (15)

1. A selection apparatus comprising:

an acquirer configured to acquire information of a usage state of at least one reused component before being reused and a purpose of use of the at least one reused component and a lifetime of the at least one reused component; and

a selector configured to select a reused component suitable for the purpose of use based on the usage state, wherein the selector is further configured to select the reused component by inputting information of the usage state of the at least one reused component before being reused and the lifetime of the at least one reused component into a model obtained through machine learning and output a rank order indicating aptitude when being reused for the purpose of use.

2. The selection apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one reused component is a battery member mounted in a vehicle before being reused.

3. The selection apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the usage state before being reused is measured in the vehicle.

4. The selection apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the battery member includes at least one of a battery or an accessory component of the battery.

5. The selection apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the accessory component includes at least one of a cooling fan, a current sensor, a voltage sensor, a temperature sensor, a battery computation device, a contactor, a converter, or a fuse.

6. The selection apparatus according to claim 1 further comprising:

a generator that is configured to generate the model through machine learning.

7. A selection method using a computer, comprising:

acquiring information of a usage state of at least one reused component before being reused and a purpose of use of the at least one reused component and a lifetime of the at least one reused component; and

selecting a reused component suitable for the purpose of use based on the usage state, wherein the selecting further comprises selecting the reused component by inputting information of the usage state of the at least one reused component before being reused and the lifetime of the at least one reused component into a model obtained through machine learning and outputting a rank order indicating aptitude when being reused for the purpose of use.

8. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to:

acquire information of a usage state of at least one reused component before being reused and a purpose of use of the at least one reused component and a lifetime of the at least one reused component; and

select a reused component suitable for the purpose of use based on the usage state, wherein the program is further configured to select the reused component by inputting information of the usage state of the at least one reused component before being reused and the lifetime of the at least one reused component into a model obtained through machine learning and output a rank order indicating aptitude when being reused for the purpose of use.
