System and method for reducing standby power consumption and monitoring power consumption of household appliances and home network equipment

Abstract

This invention relates to an energy consumption monitoring and standby power saving system and methods for the home appliances and home network devices that is capable of; automatically shutting off not only passive standby power but also active standby power which is unnecessarily consumed in the residential environment including homes and offices; realtime monitoring of the amount of consumed electrical energy of a specific appliance for a specific period; and providing various power related additional services through transmission of the collected data to power suppliers and service providers. According to one feature of the present invention, it provides an energy consumption monitoring and standby power saving system which is connected to home appliances and detects the amount of the power consumption of corresponding home appliances, and includes more than two energy saving nodes which approve application or shut-off power to corresponding home appliances, and an energy saving server which is connected to each of said energy saving nodes and collecting various status information of corresponding home appliances including said amount of power consumption from said nodes.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an energy consumption monitoring and standby power saving system and method for household appliances and home network equipment, which can not only automatically cut off passive standby power consumption, but also cut off in the residential environment (including homes and offices) Active standby power consumption that is unnecessarily consumed in the system; real-time monitoring of the amount of electrical energy consumed by a specific appliance in a specific time period; and providing various electrical energy-related additions by transmitting the collected data to the power supply and service provider service. Background technique [0002] With the development of digital technology and network technology, homes and information appliances are gradually possessing a variety of functions that tend to technology convergence and integration. These digital convergence devices are widely used in homes and office locations. Then...
