POWER CONTROL UNIT, METHOD, AND PROGRAM

To provide a power control unit capable of appropriately limiting the functions of loads such as in-vehicle equipment according to the usage status of a vehicle.SOLUTION: The power control unit for controlling the supply of electric power from a battery to loads in a vehicle includes: a first acquisition unit that acquires information about a vehicle; a second acquisition unit that acquires the charge amount of the battery; an identification unit that identifies the usage status of the vehicle corresponding to the vehicle information acquired by the first acquisition unit; and a control unit that is configured so as to, when the charge amount of the battery acquired by the second acquisition unit is less than a first threshold, control the electric power supply from the battery to the loads based on the usage status of the vehicle identified by the identification unit.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】車両の利用状態に応じて車載機器などの負荷の機能を好適に制限することができる電源制御装置を提供する。【解決手段】車両におけるバッテリーから負荷への電力供給を制御する電源制御装置であって、車両の情報を取得する第１取得部と、バッテリーの充電量を取得する第２取得部と、第１取得部が取得した車両の情報に対応する車両の利用状態を特定する特定部と、第２取得部が取得したバッテリーの充電量が第１閾値未満である場合、特定部が特定した車両の利用状態に基づいて、バッテリーから負荷への電力供給を制限する制御部と、を備える。【選択図】図１
