Display device, display method, and program for controlling a character based on battery state
A display device includes: an acquisition unit configured to acquire information on a use status of a battery that stores electric power for traveling of a vehicle; a display unit configured to display an image; and a display control unit configured to cause the display unit to display an image in which a state of the battery is represented by an anthropomorphic character based on an acquisition result of the acquisition unit.
1. A display device comprising:
a processor; and
a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
acquiring information on a use status of a battery that stores electric power for traveling of a vehicle;
calculating a state of the battery comprising a frequency of use of the battery based on the use status;
displaying an image in which a state of the battery is represented by an anthropomorphic character on a display unit based on a result of the acquisition; and
when the state of the battery is the state in which the frequency of use of the battery is suitable and a deterioration is curbed, changing the anthropomorphic character that is displayed on the display unit and displaying a second anthropomorphic character having a lower display frequency than a first anthropomorphic character that is displayed in another state.
2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise:
displaying an image in which a degree of deterioration of the battery is expressed using an age of the anthropomorphic character.
3. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise:
displaying an image in which a charging rate of the battery is expressed using an emotion of the anthropomorphic character.
4. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise:
displaying an image of the anthropomorphic character that looks satisfied when a charging rate of the battery is equal to or more than a predetermined value; and
displaying an image of the anthropomorphic character that looks dissatisfied when the charging rate of the battery is less than the predetermined value.
5. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise:
expressing a frequency of use of the battery using an emotion of an anthropomorphic character to be expressed;
displaying an image of the anthropomorphic character that looks happy when the frequency of use is suitable;
displaying an image of the anthropomorphic character that looks tired when the frequency of use is excessive; and
displaying an image of the anthropomorphic character that looks lonely when the frequency of use is too low.
6. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise:
expressing a progress of a deterioration state of the battery using an emotion of an anthropomorphic character to be expressed;
displaying an image of the anthropomorphic character representing an emotion of anger when it is determined that the deterioration of the battery is advanced; and
displaying an image of the anthropomorphic character representing an emotion of joy when it is determined that the deterioration of the battery is curbed.
7. A display method comprising:
by a computer, acquiring information on a use status of a battery that stores electric power for traveling of a vehicle;
by the computer, calculating a state of the battery comprising a frequency of use of the battery based on the use status;
by the computer, displaying an image in which a state of the battery is represented by an anthropomorphic character on a display unit based on a result of the acquisition; and
by the computer, when the state of the battery is the state in which the frequency of use of the battery is suitable and a deterioration is curbed, changing the anthropomorphic character that is displayed on the display unit and displaying a second anthropomorphic character having a lower display frequency than a first anthropomorphic character that is displayed in another state.
8. A computer-readable non-transitory storage medium that includes a program causing a computer to:
acquire information on a use status of a battery that stores electric power for traveling of a vehicle;
calculate a state of the battery comprising a frequency of use of the battery based on the use status;
display an image in which a state of the battery is represented by an anthropomorphic character on a display unit based on a result of the acquisition; and
when the state of the battery is the state in which the frequency of use of the battery is suitable and a deterioration is curbed, change the anthropomorphic character that is displayed on the display unit and display a second anthropomorphic character having a lower display frequency than a first anthropomorphic character that is displayed in another state.
