US 2022/0011840 A1 · POWERED DEVICE ELECTRICAL DATA MODELING AND INTELLIGENCE

Abstract

A powered device electrical data modeling and intelligence system is used to monitor electrical data of powered devices to determine in-use activity thereof. A number of network-enabled electric plugs are deployed in a region, for example, within certain areas of a floor of a building or within certain floors of a building. Each of the network-enabled electric plugs is configured to deliver electricity from an electricity source to one or more powered devices located in the region. A server runs a web application used to monitor electrical data for the region based on electricity drawn by each of the one or more powered devices. The web application computes usage metrics for the powered devices by modeling electrical data for the powered devices into clusters representative of device operational states. The web application may then determine an operational state of a powered device according to the usage metrics.

Dependent claims

A method, comprising:

determining common values of electrical data collected for a powered device;
identifying a first cluster representing a lowest value of the common values of the electrical data, wherein the first cluster corresponds to a first operational state of the powered device;
identifying a second cluster representing another value of the common values of the electrical data, wherein the second cluster corresponds to a second operational state of the powered device;
determining usage metrics representing usage activity of the powered device based on the first cluster and the second cluster;
and
outputting the usage metrics for storage or further processing.
