Abstract
A method and apparatus for detecting an abnormal event related to a person at home are provided. The method includes measuring home electricity use data in each first predetermined time interval, determining whether an abnormal event related to the person at home has occurred based on the home electricity use data, generating a notification message including the abnormal event related to the person at home when it is determined that the abnormal event related to the person at home has occurred, and transmitting the notification message to a predetermined user device.
Claims20
A server comprising:
- a measuring unit configured to measure home electricity use data in each first predetermined time interval, wherein the home electricity use data comprises at least one of total home electricity usage, the amount of home device's electricity usage, home device's electricity use time, and the number of home device uses, the measuring unit including an estimator;
- the estimator including a deep neural network having an input layer, an output layer, and a plurality of hidden layers between the input layer and the output layer, the input layer receiving at least one among an amount of home electricity usage measured in a previous time interval and weather information, wherein the estimator is configured to estimate the home electricity use data;
- a determinator configured to determine whether an abnormal event related to a person at home has occurred based on the measured and the estimated home electricity use data;
- a message generator configured to generate a notification message including the abnormal event related to the person at home when it is determined that the abnormal event related to the person at home has occurred;
- and
- a message transmitter configured to transmit the notification message to a predetermined user device.
A method of detecting an abnormal event related to a person at home, the method comprising:
- measuring home electricity use data in each first predetermined time interval, wherein the home electricity use data comprises at least one of total home electricity usage, the amount of home device's electricity usage, home device's electricity use time, and the number of home device uses;
- estimating the home electricity use data using a deep neural network having an input layer, an output layer, and a plurality of hidden layers between the input layer and the output layer, with the input layer receiving at least one among an amount of home electricity usage measured in a previous time interval and weather information;
- determining whether an abnormal event related to the person at home has occurred based on the measured and the estimated home electricity use data;
- generating a notification message including the abnormal event related to the person at home when it is determined that the abnormal event related to the person at home has occurred;
- and
- transmitting the notification message to a predetermined user device.
