[0002] In recent years, with the development of power technology, various household appliances that can improve people's quality of life have become essential items in family life. As a result, the demand for household electricity is increasing, which has brought a heavy burden to power supply. In order to cope with the above situation, many cities have introduced time-of-use electricity pricing policy, that is, 24 hours of a day are divided into multiple time periods, and each time period corresponds to different electricity pricing standards.

In this regard, each block in the flowcharts or block diagrams can represent a module, a program segment or a part of code containing one or more executable instructions for implementing a specified logical function. In some alternative implementations, the functions noted in the blocks can occur in an order different from that noted in the drawings. For example, two consecutive blocks can actually be executed substantially in parallel, and sometimes they can be executed in reverse order, depending on the functions involved. In the descriptions corresponding to the flowcharts and block diagrams in the drawings, the operations or steps corresponding to different blocks can also occur in an order different from that disclosed in the descriptions, and sometimes there is no specific order between different operations or steps. For example, two consecutive operations or steps can actually be executed substantially in parallel, and sometimes they can be executed in reverse order, depending on the functions involved. Each block in the block diagrams and / or flowcharts, and the combination of blocks in the block diagrams and / or flowcharts, can be implemented by a dedicated hardware-based system that performs the specified functions or actions, or can be implemented by a combination of dedicated hardware and computer instructions.
