Abstract
An energy management device manages a plurality of monitored devices distributed in a plurality of monitored areas. The energy management device determines whether a current time of each monitored area is during a monitored time of the energy management device. The energy management device acquires an area identifier and a body presence information from each of the monitored areas, and determines whether one or more monitored areas are under control and without body presence. If one or more monitored areas are under control and without body presence, the energy management device transmits one or more power-off commands to turn off the monitored devices located in the one or more monitored areas.
Claims14
An energy management device for managing a plurality of monitored devices distributed in a plurality of monitored areas, the energy management device comprising:
- at least one processor;
- memory operable to store a plurality of area identifiers of monitored areas under control by the energy management device;
- one or more programs that are stored in the memory and are executed by the at least one processor, the one or more programs comprising:
- a time control module operable to determine whether a current time of each of the monitored areas is during a monitored time of the energy management device;
- a data processing module operable to acquire an area identifier of each of the monitored areas transmitted by a monitored power line communication (PLC) modem located in each of the monitored areas and a body presence information of each of the monitored areas transmitted by a monitoring device located in each of the monitored areas when the current time is during the monitored time, determine whether one or more monitored areas are under control by the energy management device and without body presence according to the area identifier and the body presence information, and transmit one or more power-off commands to turn off the monitored devices located in the one or more monitored areas.
An energy management method of an energy management device operable to manage a plurality of monitored devices distributed in a plurality of monitored areas, the energy management method comprising:
- providing a plurality of area identifiers of monitored areas under control by the energy management device;
- determine whether a current time of each monitored area is during a monitored time of the energy management device;
- acquire an area identifier of each of the monitored areas transmitted by a monitored power line communication (PLC) modem located in each of the monitored areas and a body presence information of each of the monitored areas transmitted by a monitoring device located in each of the monitored areas if the current time is during the monitored time;
- determining whether one or more monitored areas are under control and without body presence according to the area identifier and the body presence information;
- and
- transmitting one or more power-off commands to turn off the monitored devices located in the one or more monitored areas under control without body presence.
