Method and system for monitoring a site based on use of an electrical appliance at the site

A system for monitoring a site based on use of an electrical appliance at the site, comprising:

• a networking device to be disposed at the site, to be connected to a communication network, and supporting short-distance wireless communication;
• an electrical socket device, including:
• a socket module to be electrically connected between the electrical appliance and a power grid, and operable to permit or terminate supply of electric power from the power grid to the electrical appliance;
• a connection module to be communicatively connected to one of said networking device and the communication network;
• a storage module storing current feature data that is related to multiple reference values of an operating current of the electrical appliance, the reference values corresponding to different operating modes of the electrical appliance;
• a current detecting module electrically connected to said socket module, and continuously detecting a current flowing through the electrical appliance, so as to generate a current detection result;
• a temperature sensing module continuously detecting an ambient temperature to generate a temperature detection result;
• and
• a processing module electrically connected to said socket module, said connection module, said storage module, said current detecting module and said temperature sensing module, receiving the current detection result and the temperature detection result respectively from said current detecting module and said temperature sensing module, generating event data that is related to a usage condition of the electrical appliance based on the current feature data stored in said storage module, the current detection result and the temperature detection result, and transmitting the event data to said networking device via said connection module;
• and
• a management server connected to the communication network, and including:
• a database storing user data that is related to at least one user at the site, appliance data that is related to the electrical appliance, and service record data that is related to a usage history of the electrical appliance;
• a storage unit storing a behavioral feature recognition model that is configured to recognize multiple behavioral features related to behaviors of at least one user using the electrical appliance, wherein the behavioral features and the behavioral feature recognition model are derived and established by using a machine learning algorithm to analyze the user data and the service record data based on multiple feature parameters that are each related to the at least one user, the electrical appliance, or an environment where the electrical appliance is located;
• and
• a processing unit electrically connected to said database and said storage unit;
• wherein said networking device transmits the event data received thereby to said management server via the communication network;
• wherein said processing unit of said management server uses the behavioral feature recognition model to determine whether the event data matches at least one of the behavioral features, and sends a warning message to at least one user end device that is related to the at least one user upon determining that the event data does not match any of the behavioral features;
• wherein, when said management server receives the event data from said networking device, said processing unit of said management server stores the event data as a part of the service record data, determines, based on the event data and the appliance data, whether operating current information that is related to the operating current of the electrical appliance needs to be adjusted, and generates, upon determining that the operating current information needs to be adjusted, current feature adjustment data that indicates adjustment of the operating current information, and transmits the current feature adjustment data to said networking device;
• wherein said networking device transmits the current feature adjustment data received from said management server to said connection module of said electrical socket device;
• and
• wherein said processing module of said electrical socket device uses the current feature adjustment data received from said networking device to update the current feature data stored in said storage module.
