[0022] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0023] In a specific embodiment, as Figure 1 shown, the present invention provides a gateway system for carbon emission management, including: a data acquisition unit, a data processing unit, a data storage unit, a security management unit, a real-time monitoring unit, a communication unit, a unified management and control platform, a report generation unit, and a user interface unit.

[0024] At the same time, real-time data communication is maintained between the communication unit and the unified management and control platform through a wireless network. The input end of the report generation unit is electrically connected to the output end of the data processing unit, and the input end of the user interface unit is electrically connected to the output end of the data storage unit.

[0025] The real-time monitoring unit is used to monitor the carbon emission data collected by the data acquisition unit in real time and output the monitoring result of carbon emission exceeding the standard. The report generation unit is used to generate a corresponding emission report based on data analysis according to the analysis result output by the data processing unit. The user interface unit is used to provide a path for users to access the data storage unit.

[0026] As Figure 5 shown, the unified management and control platform is used to cooperate with the communication unit to control the devices that output the monitoring result of carbon emission exceeding the standard.

[0027] As Figure 2As shown, the data acquisition unit is used to monitor carbon emission data from different sources in real time through sensors. The data acquisition unit consists of a pollutant sensor, a flow sensor, and a temperature and humidity sensor; the pollutant sensor is used to detect carbon emission pollutants around the gateway system. The sensor adopts advanced gas sensing technology and can monitor the concentration of multiple gas components in real time, including but not limited to carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, etc. The sensor collects air samples regularly and analyzes their components through technical principles such as optics, electrochemistry, or gas-sensitive materials to obtain the specific pollutant concentration. The flow sensor is used to detect the flow rate of carbon emission pollutants around the gateway system. If there are pipelines or emission channels around the gateway system, it detects the flow rate of carbon emission pollutants along the pipelines or emission channels. This data is extremely important for evaluating the total amount and changing trend of pollutant emissions. The flow sensor generally adopts ultrasonic, thermal imaging, or mechanical sensing technology and can accurately measure the volumetric or mass flow rate of the fluid without disturbing its flow. These sensors transmit real-time flow data to the data processing unit, and combined with the concentration data of pollutants, can achieve the statistics and analysis of the total carbon emissions. The temperature and humidity sensor is used to detect the temperature and humidity conditions around the gateway system. Temperature and humidity changes have a significant impact on the distribution and reaction rate of carbon emissions. Therefore, continuous monitoring of these environmental conditions is crucial. The temperature and humidity sensor adopts capacitive or resistive sensing elements and can monitor the temperature and humidity of the environment in real time with high precision for subsequent analysis and reference. The output end of the data acquisition unit is electrically connected to the input end of the real-time monitoring unit.

[0028] The communication unit is used to cooperate with the real-time monitoring unit to identify the monitoring results of carbon emission exceeding the standard and communicate using wireless or wired methods. The communication unit is internally integrated with a wireless transmission module and a wired network module. The wireless transmission module is used to transmit signals and data wirelessly without physical connection. This module generally adopts wireless communication technologies such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, LoRaWAN, or NB-IoT. The wired network module is used to transmit signals and data in a wired manner, providing high data transmission speed and stability. Usually, Ethernet technology is adopted. This module supports the standard TCP / IP protocol and can quickly and stably transmit data from the sensor node to the central control unit or cloud server. The output end of the real-time monitoring unit is electrically connected to the input end of the communication unit.

[0029] As Figure 3As shown, the output end of the data acquisition unit is electrically connected to the input end of the data processing unit. The data processing unit is used to perform real-time processing and analysis on the carbon emission data collected by the data acquisition unit and output the analysis results. An edge computing module and an intelligent analysis module are integrated inside the data processing unit. The edge computing module is used to perform real-time processing on the carbon emission data collected by the data acquisition unit. The edge computing module can effectively filter out important information and only transmit key data and abnormal situations to the intelligent analysis module, thereby improving the efficiency of subsequent analysis. The intelligent analysis module is used to perform intelligent analysis on the carbon emission data that has been processed in real time by the edge computing module and predict the future carbon emission trend. A variety of algorithm models are integrated in the intelligent analysis module, and these models can be trained and optimized according to real-time data to generate high-precision prediction results. For example, this module uses regression analysis, time series prediction, or deep learning algorithms to comprehensively evaluate the carbon emission trend and put forward feasible improvement suggestions. The output end of the data processing unit is electrically connected to the input end of the data storage unit.

[0030] The security management unit is used to encrypt the data stored in the data storage unit and manage the access user permissions. A data encryption module and a user permission management module are integrated inside the security management unit. The data encryption module is used to encrypt the data stored inside the data storage unit to prevent unauthorized access and data leakage. The user permission management module is used to manage the permissions of users accessing the data storage unit to ensure that only authorized users can access specific data and functions. This module usually adopts role-based access control or fine-grained access control policies, allowing the system administrator to assign different levels of access permissions to different users or user groups. These permissions can be customized according to the roles and responsibilities of users, including various operations such as data viewing, editing, and deletion. In addition, this module can also implement the user authentication function, such as ensuring the legality of the user identity through user name, password, two-factor authentication, etc. The output end of the data storage unit is electrically connected to the input end of the security management unit.

[0031] As Figure 4As shown, the data storage unit is used to store historical data, real-time monitoring data, and the analysis results output by the data processing unit. The data storage unit integrates a cloud storage module, a local storage module, a storage monitoring module, and a storage control module internally. The cloud storage module is used to store data through the cloud, leveraging the extensive storage capabilities provided by cloud computing technology, allowing for centralized management and storage of large amounts of data, and enabling users to access this data anytime and anywhere. The local storage module is used to store data through local hardware, providing low-latency data access, which is suitable for scenarios with high real-time requirements. The storage monitoring module is used to monitor the storage status of the cloud storage module and the local storage module and output the monitoring results, thereby enabling tracking of the usage of storage resources. The storage control module is used to intelligently control the storage status of the cloud storage module and the local storage module according to the monitoring results output by the storage monitoring module, adjust the storage path, and thus achieve dynamic management and optimal configuration of storage resources.

[0032] In the actual application process, first, the data acquisition unit is used to detect the carbon emission data around each gateway system. Specifically, a pollutant sensor is used to detect the carbon emission pollutants around the gateway system, a flow sensor is used to detect the flow of the carbon emission pollutants around the gateway system, and at the same time, a temperature and humidity sensor is used to detect the temperature and humidity conditions around the gateway system.

[0033] Then, on the one hand, the detected carbon emission data is output to the real-time monitoring unit. The real-time monitoring unit is used to perform real-time monitoring on the carbon emission data collected by the data acquisition unit. When the carbon emission exceeds the standard, the monitoring result of carbon emission exceeding the standard is output to the communication unit. The communication unit is used to transmit the data to the unified control platform, and the unified control platform is used to control the equipment that outputs the monitoring result of carbon emission exceeding the standard, thereby timely discovering the gateway system where carbon emission exceeding the standard is detected.

[0034] On the other hand, the detected carbon emission data is output to the data processing unit. The data processing unit is used to analyze and process the carbon emission data. Specifically, the edge computing module is used to perform real-time processing on the carbon emission data collected by the data acquisition unit. The edge computing module can effectively filter out important information and only transmit key data and abnormal situations to the intelligent analysis module, thereby improving the efficiency of subsequent analysis. Then, the intelligent analysis module is used to perform intelligent analysis on the carbon emission data that has been processed in real-time by the edge computing module and predict the future carbon emission trend.

[0035] The specific working steps of the edge computing module and the intelligent analysis module are as follows: I. Data reception: Receive the original data sent by the sensor from the data acquisition unit, including pollutant concentration, flow rate, and temperature and humidity; II. Data Preprocessing: Convert the format of the received raw data to ensure data uniformity, then detect outliers using the statistical method of 3σ rule, and simultaneously handle missing values by interpolation or using the nearest neighbor imputation method to fill in the missing data; III. Data Filtering: Apply a low-pass filter or a median filter to smooth the data to remove noise; IV. Data Fusion: If data from multiple sensors need to be combined for analysis, use a Kalman filter or a weighted fusion algorithm for data fusion; V. Feature Extraction: Extract important features from the processed data and calculate the real-time carbon emission rate: E = CQ / V where C is the pollutant concentration, Q is the flow rate, and V is the molar volume of the pollutant of interest; VI. Data Analysis: Use a machine learning model for data analysis and perform real-time analysis through time series prediction methods to predict the future carbon emission trend in real time.

[0036] Next, on the one hand, transmit the data processing result to the report generation unit. The report generation unit generates a corresponding emission report based on data analysis according to the analysis result output by the data processing unit for decision-making and subsequent actions. The content in the report includes the current carbon emission level, comparison with historical data, trend prediction, abnormal situations, etc. On the other hand, transmit the data processing result to the data storage unit and use the data storage unit to store the data processing result.

[0037] During storage, first use the local storage module inside the data storage unit for storage. When the storage monitoring module monitors that the storage space inside the local storage module is insufficient, send a signal to the storage control module, and use the storage control module to import the original data of the local storage module (i.e., the data that entered the local storage module earlier) into the cloud storage module for storage, thus realizing the dynamic management and optimal configuration of storage resources.

[0038] Meanwhile, use the data encryption module inside the security management unit to encrypt the data stored inside the data storage unit to prevent unauthorized access and data leakage. And use the user permission management module inside the security management unit to manage the permissions of users accessing the data storage unit to ensure that only authorized users can access specific data and functions.

[0039] When a user needs to retrieve data inside the gateway system, they can access the data storage unit through the user interface unit, thereby retrieving the corresponding data that needs to be accessed. At this time, the user privilege management module will conduct a privilege review on the users accessing the data storage unit to ensure that only authorized users can access specific data and functions.

[0040] In addition, the present invention also provides a gateway device for carbon emission management, including a PCB board, a housing, a user interface installed on the housing, and a GPS locator installed inside the housing. The PCB board is disposed inside the housing, and the GPS locator is used to locate the gateway device. The PCB board is provided with the above-mentioned gateway system for carbon emission management, and the user interface is connected to the user interface unit through a data cable.
