Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present application relate to the field of terminal technology, and in particular to energy consumption management methods and electronic devices. Background Art

[0002] At present, users have more and more devices. Some of them have built-in batteries. Figure 1A , users can usually check the power level of the device through the device's built-in display. In this way, users need to turn on the device screen to view the device's power information. The process is complicated and difficult for users to operate. In addition, users need to check next to the device, which requires high requirements for the installation or placement of the device. In scenarios where the device is not installed in an appropriate location or the device does not have a screen, it is likely that the query of power level will fail.

[0003] like Figure 1B , users can also log in to the application (APP) on their mobile phones to query the power of the device. In this way, the APP interface can display the remaining power of at least one device, but it is difficult to meet the user's power query needs. It is urgent to propose a method for efficiently managing the energy consumption of the whole house. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, an energy consumption management method and an electronic device are provided. The technical solution provided in this application can improve the efficiency of energy consumption management.

[0005] In order to achieve the above technical objectives, the following technical solutions are provided:

[0006] In a first aspect, a method for energy consumption management is provided, which is applied to a first device or a component (such as a chip) that supports the implementation of a function of the first device. The method may include: obtaining information associated with the remaining power of multiple second devices in a first space; the information associated with the remaining power of the second devices includes at least one of the following information: the used power of the second device, the remaining power, information on the level corresponding to the remaining power, and the available time corresponding to the remaining power; determining at least one second device from the multiple second devices based on the information associated with the remaining power of the multiple second devices; and presenting a first interface, the first interface including first aggregated energy consumption information of the at least one second device, the first aggregated energy consumption information including information associated with the remaining power of the at least one second device.

[0007] According to the technical solution of the present application, the first device can present the energy consumption information summarized by at least one second device in the first space to meet the user's energy consumption management needs for the devices in the first space and realize efficient energy consumption management.

[0008] Exemplarily, the used power and the remaining power may be in the form of power percentage.

[0009] As a possible implementation manner, before presenting the first interface, the following is further included:

[0010] Presenting a second interface, the second interface including a first control for viewing the first aggregated energy consumption information;

[0011] Presenting a first interface includes: in response to a first operation on the first control, presenting the first interface including the first aggregated energy consumption information.

[0012] As a possible implementation method, the first aggregated energy consumption information is the aggregated energy consumption information of the battery of the at least one second device; the first interface also includes the second aggregated energy consumption information of at least one third device in the first space; the second aggregated energy consumption information is: the aggregated energy consumption information of the strong current of the at least one third device.

[0013] In this way, the first device can present the aggregated high-voltage energy consumption information of multiple devices in the first space, so that the user can understand the aggregated high-voltage energy consumption information of the multiple devices.

[0014] As a possible implementation manner, the second aggregated energy consumption information of the at least one third device includes power usage statistics information associated with the at least one third device in the first time period;

[0015] The power consumption statistics information includes at least one of the following information: the total power consumption of the at least one third device in the first time period, the total load of the at least one third device, the M1 third devices with the highest power consumption among the at least one third device, the N1 third devices with the highest load among the at least one third device, the P1 third devices with remaining power lower than the first threshold among the at least one third device, and the Q1 third devices with the lowest remaining power among the at least one third device, where M1, N1, P1, and Q1 are all positive integers.

[0016] As a possible implementation, the second aggregated energy consumption information further includes: energy storage statistical information associated with the at least one third device in the second time period;

[0017] The energy storage statistical information includes at least one of the following information: the total energy storage amount of the at least one third device in the second time period.

[0018] As a possible implementation method, it also includes:

[0019] Obtaining energy consumption processing suggestions for the fourth device, the energy consumption processing suggestions including at least one of the following: suggesting to prepare a spare battery, suggesting to maintain the power of the fourth device; the suggestion to maintain the power of the fourth device includes at least one of the following: suggesting to charge, suggesting to replace a new battery, suggesting to replace the battery of the fifth device with the fourth device for use;

[0020] The energy consumption treatment suggestion is presented.

[0021] In this method, the first device can present energy consumption processing suggestions for low-power devices, which can effectively guide the user to complete operations such as device battery replacement and efficiently maintain the batteries of devices in the first space.

[0022] As a possible implementation method, it also includes:

[0023] receiving a second operation input by a user;

[0024] In response to the second operation, an operation guide corresponding to the energy consumption processing suggestion is presented.

[0025] In this way, the first device can guide the user to perform corresponding operations according to detailed operating instructions, and the user can achieve energy consumption maintenance of the device and improve energy consumption management efficiency in an efficient human-computer interaction process.

[0026] As a possible implementation method, it also includes:

[0027] receiving a third operation input by a user;

[0028] In response to the third operation, an interface for purchasing a battery for the fourth device is displayed.

[0029] As a possible implementation method, it also includes:

[0030] Obtaining energy consumption prompt information of a fourth device, the energy consumption prompt information including energy consumption alarm information or energy consumption reminder information, the energy consumption prompt information being used to prompt that the fourth device is low on power; the energy consumption alarm information and the energy consumption reminder information correspond to different levels of remaining power;

[0031] Present energy consumption prompt information of the fourth device.

[0032] In this way, the first device can present the energy consumption prompt information of the device in a timely manner to prompt the user to perform energy consumption maintenance on the device, such as replacing the battery, to avoid the device being unavailable due to insufficient battery power.

[0033] As a possible implementation manner, presenting the energy consumption prompt information of the fourth device includes:

[0034] A card is popped out, wherein the card includes the energy consumption alarm information.

[0035] For example, for a device that is extremely short of power, the first device pops up a card to remind the user in a more prominent manner to perform energy maintenance on the device, thereby effectively prompting the user to perform energy maintenance on the device in a timely manner.

[0036] As a possible implementation manner, presenting the energy consumption prompt information of the fourth device includes:

[0037] Displaying a new message mark on the first icon of the second interface, wherein the new message mark is used to prompt that the energy consumption reminder information has been received;

[0038] In response to the user's operation on the first icon, the energy consumption reminder information is displayed.

[0039] For example, for a device with less power but not extremely short of power, the first device prompts the user to perform device energy maintenance by displaying a new message indicator. By providing hierarchical energy consumption prompts for devices with different remaining power, the user can be effectively reminded to perform device energy maintenance in different scenarios.

[0040] As a possible implementation manner, the first interface also includes a control control of the power supply control device, and the control control is used to control the power-on state of the power supply control device.

[0041] As a possible implementation manner, in the first interface, second devices corresponding to different levels of remaining power have different user interface UI effects.

[0042] Exemplarily, the first device uses a control representing the remaining power to hierarchically display information related to the remaining power of different devices. Exemplarily, the control can present different levels of remaining power in different UI colors. Exemplarily, the control can be a power bar or a power ring. Exemplarily, the more power there is, the more area filled with color in the power ring. Exemplarily, the power ring is filled with red, indicating a certain level of remaining power (such as extreme lack of power). The power ring is filled with green, indicating a certain level of remaining power (such as sufficient power).

[0043] As another example, the first device distinguishes the levels of remaining power through text, such as displaying high power, low power, and medium power.

[0044] In this way, the first device displays multi-dimensional aggregated energy consumption information in a graded manner according to the remaining power or available time, so that the user can determine the urgency of the device's power maintenance based on the graded information and take corresponding power maintenance measures in a timely manner.

[0045] As a possible implementation method, the available time corresponding to the remaining power of the second device is determined based on at least one of the following information: power consumption of the second device in standby mode within a historical period of time, power consumption of the second device in working mode within a historical period of time, number of times the second device is used within a historical period of time, duration of each use, and frequency of use of the second device within a historical period of time.

[0046] As a possible implementation, the fifth device is a device with a usage frequency lower than the second threshold, and / or the fifth device is a device with remaining power. For example, the first device can guide the user to replace the battery of device A, which is used less frequently and has sufficient remaining power, with that of device B, which is used frequently and has low power.

[0047] As a possible implementation manner, obtaining information associated with remaining power of multiple second devices in the first space includes:

[0048] Calculating information associated with the remaining power of the plurality of second devices; or receiving information associated with the remaining power of the plurality of second devices from a sixth device.

[0049] In a second aspect, an energy consumption management method is provided, which is applied to a sixth device or a component supporting the function of a sixth device, and the method includes: receiving energy consumption information from multiple second devices in a first space; determining information associated with the remaining power of the multiple second devices based on the energy consumption information of the multiple second devices; the information associated with the remaining power of the second devices includes at least one of the following information: the used power of the second device, the remaining power, information on the level corresponding to the remaining power, and the available time corresponding to the remaining power; and sending the information associated with the remaining power of the multiple second devices to the first device.

[0050] As a possible implementation method, it also includes:

[0051] Generate an energy consumption reminder strategy for the fourth device according to the energy consumption information of the fourth device in the first space and the type of the fourth device; the energy consumption reminder strategy is used to indicate a time period for sending energy consumption reminder information for the fourth device, or to indicate a scenario for sending energy consumption reminder information for the fourth device; the energy consumption reminder information includes energy consumption alarm information or energy consumption reminder information;

[0052] According to the energy consumption reminder strategy, energy consumption reminder information for the fourth device is sent to the first device.

[0053] Optionally, the type of equipment can be divided into important equipment and non-important equipment.

[0054] As a possible implementation manner, sending the energy consumption reminder information according to the energy consumption reminder strategy includes:

[0055] According to the first cycle, the first energy consumption prompt information is sent to the device A;

[0056] According to the second cycle, a second energy consumption prompt information is sent to device B; the duration of the second cycle is shorter than the duration of the first cycle; the remaining power of device B corresponding to the second energy consumption prompt information is lower than the remaining power of device A corresponding to the first energy consumption prompt information, and / or, the available time of device B corresponding to the second energy consumption prompt information is lower than the available time of device A corresponding to the first energy consumption prompt information, and / or, the importance of device B corresponding to the second energy consumption prompt information is higher than that of device A corresponding to the first energy consumption prompt information.

[0057] As a possible implementation manner, sending the energy consumption reminder information according to the energy consumption reminder strategy includes:

[0059] That is, the first device can display energy consumption reminder information or energy consumption alarm information in different levels, and the energy consumption reminder information and energy consumption alarm information adopt different display or voice reminder forms. For example, the energy consumption alarm information pops up in the form of a card, and the user needs to manually eliminate the alarm.

[0088] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Wherein, in the description of the embodiments of the present application, the terms used in the following embodiments are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments, and are not intended to be used as limitations on the present application. As used in the specification and the appended claims of the present application, the singular expressions "one", "a kind of", "said", "above", "the" and "this" are intended to include expressions such as "one or more", unless there is a clear indication to the contrary in the context. It should also be understood that in the following embodiments of the present application, "at least one", "one or more" refer to one or more (including two).

[0089] References to "one embodiment" or "some embodiments" etc. described in this specification mean that one or more embodiments of the present application include specific features, structures or characteristics described in conjunction with the embodiment. Thus, the statements "in one embodiment", "in some embodiments", "in some other embodiments", "in some other embodiments", etc. that appear in different places in this specification do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, but mean "one or more but not all embodiments", unless otherwise specifically emphasized in other ways. The terms "including", "comprising", "having" and their variations all mean "including but not limited to", unless otherwise specifically emphasized in other ways. The term "connection" includes direct connection and indirect connection, unless otherwise specified. "First" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated.

[0090] In the embodiments of the present application, the words "exemplarily" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations or explanations. Any embodiment or design described as "exemplarily" or "for example" in the embodiments of the present application should not be interpreted as being more preferred or more advantageous than other embodiments or designs. Specifically, the use of words such as "exemplarily" or "for example" is intended to present related concepts in a specific way.

[0091] The embodiment of the present application provides an energy consumption management method, which is applicable to an energy consumption management system. For example, Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an energy consumption management system to which this method is applicable. Figure 2 As shown, the energy consumption management system can control smart devices based on the home. A home can be called a whole house, which can be divided into different sub-spaces. For example, the whole house includes the entrance corridor, kitchen, dining room, living room, balcony, master bedroom, second bedroom, bathroom, etc.

[0092] The energy consumption management system may include a device 100, which has a display screen. Device 100 includes but is not limited to a mobile phone, a PC, a tablet computer, a smart screen, a smart home control panel (which may be referred to as a smart panel, a central control screen device), a speaker with a screen, a refrigerator with a screen, etc. As the entrance to energy consumption management, device 100 can present an energy consumption management interface for the whole house. Users can view the energy consumption of devices in the whole house locally or remotely through the energy consumption management interface. This can effectively guide users to implement corresponding measures according to the energy consumption situation, such as replacing batteries with low power in the device.

[0093] The device 100 may also be referred to as a graphical user interface (GUI) or a voice user interface (VUI) entry device.

[0094] Optionally, the whole house may also be provided with a device 400, and the device 400 has a voice function. The device 400 includes but is not limited to a speaker, a mobile phone, and a tablet. The device 400 can play the summarized energy consumption of at least one battery-carrying device in the whole house by voice. That is, when it is inconvenient for the user to view the energy consumption management interface through the device 100, the user can understand the summarized energy consumption of at least one battery-carrying device in the whole house through the device 400. As a display form of the summarized energy consumption, for example, it can be to present an energy consumption summary page, which includes the energy consumption information of each related device respectively; or it can be to present one or more energy consumption summary data of the overall dimension of each related device on the energy consumption summary page.

[0095] Optionally, the whole house may also be provided with devices 200 (e.g., IoT devices). Devices 200 may be devices that require energy management, such as wireless sensors with built-in batteries, smart door locks, smart curtain motors, smart pillows, smart toothbrushes, and the like.

[0096] In an embodiment of the present application, when the device 200 determines that certain conditions are met, it can actively report its own remaining power to the control system central module. For example, the remaining power is reported regularly or periodically. For another example, the remaining power is reported when the power changes. For another example, the remaining power is reported every time the power decreases by a certain degree (such as 5 degrees). For another example, when the power is greater than 30 degrees, the remaining power is reported every time the power decreases by 5 degrees. When the power is reduced to 30 degrees, the remaining power is reported every time the power decreases by 1 degree.

[0097] As a possible implementation, a profile attribute for reporting energy consumption information may be uniformly defined in each device 200. Based on the profile, the device 200 may report its own energy consumption information, such as battery power, according to a predefined protocol when conditions are met.

[0098] The whole house may also include a central device 300. The central device 300 is also called a hub, a central control system, an intelligent host, or a host. Optionally, the central devices of each room or area, and the central devices of the whole house may exist separately, or may be integrated with the device 200 or the device 100 into one device, or may be other forms of devices. This application does not limit this.

[0099] In other embodiments, the hub device 300 may also be a cloud service, and the hub device 300 is not limited to local devices deployed throughout the house.

[0100] In some examples, the hub device 300 may include a control system center module, and the hub device 300 may execute the energy consumption management process through the control system center module. For example, the control system center module performs statistical processing based on the remaining power reported by each device in the house, generates energy consumption information for the whole house, and sends the energy consumption information to the device 100. The device 100 can present the summary energy consumption of at least one battery-powered device in the whole house based on the energy consumption information. For example, the total monthly power consumption of all devices in the house, the early warning status of low-power devices in the house, and the power reminder are presented. For another example, the devices can be sorted by the power level, and the power levels of different devices can be displayed in different levels according to the different power levels. For example, for devices that are extremely short of power, a red power progress bar is used to indicate their power level, and for devices with sufficient power, a green power progress bar is used to indicate their power level.

[0101] The control system center module supports an open interface so that it can be connected to a third-party management system through this interface. Through this interface, the control system center module can shield the differences between various types of equipment in the whole house from the third-party management system. For example, the third-party management system is supported to query the aggregated energy consumption of at least one battery device in the whole house and the notification / reminder / alarm of insufficient power in the whole house through this interface. The aggregated energy consumption of at least one battery device in the whole house includes the energy consumption at the whole house level (such as the power statistics table of the whole house) and the energy consumption at the device level (such as the remaining power of a single device and the estimated usable time).

[0102] Optionally, the whole house may also include other devices, such as gateways, routers, etc. The control system center module may also be deployed on devices such as gateways or routers or central control screens throughout the house.

[0103] Optional, such as Figure 3 The energy consumption management system may further include a server 500. The control system center module may also be a module deployed in the server.

[0104] The above content is only an example of a system to which the energy consumption management method is applicable. The system may also include more or fewer devices, or different device layout locations, etc.

[0105] The above-mentioned multiple devices can be connected through various feasible communication protocols to implement the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application. Take the device 100 as an example, Figure 3 A possible connection method between devices is shown. Device 200, gateway, and smart panel 100 can be connected to the router via Wi-Fi. The router is connected to the hub device 300 via Wi-Fi. In some examples, device 200 can also access the gateway via Bluetooth to access the router through the gateway. In some examples, gateways can be connected via wireless methods such as Wi-Fi or wired methods such as network cables. In some examples, the gateway can be connected to the hub device 300 via wireless methods such as Wi-Fi or wired methods such as network cables. In some examples, the hub device 300 can be connected to the smart panel 100 via a programmable logic controller (PLC) or a wireless method. The hub device 300 can be connected to the server via the Internet. Figure 3 The connection relationship shown is only an example. It should be understood that the connection between devices can also be established in other ways. The embodiments of the present application do not limit the specific connection method between devices.

[0106] In addition to the whole-house smart scene mentioned above, the technical solution of the above embodiment can also be applied to other scenes. For example, the system that needs to manage energy consumption in factory and office scenes can also be applied to the technical solution of the above embodiment.

[0117] Optional, if the device is an entry device such as a central control screen, Figure 4 The device may also include a display screen 505 for displaying information such as the aggregated energy consumption of at least one battery-powered device in the entire house.

[0118] Understandably, Figure 4 The illustrated structure does not constitute a specific limitation of the device. In other embodiments of the present application, the device may include more or fewer components than shown in the figure, or combine some components, or split some components, or arrange the components differently. The illustrated components may be implemented in hardware, software, or a combination of software and hardware.

[0119] The following mainly takes device 100 (the first device) as the smart device control panel (which can be referred to as the smart panel for short) and the control system center module as an example deployed in the central device (an example of the sixth device) to illustrate the energy consumption management method provided in the embodiment of the present application.

[0120] like Figure 5 An example of a process of the energy consumption management method provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown. The method may include the following steps:

[0121] S101. Battery-carrying devices in the entire house (an example of a first space) report energy consumption information.

[0122] As a possible implementation method, battery-carrying devices report their respective energy consumption information to a central device where a control system central module is located.

[0123] Optionally, the energy consumption information of the battery-powered device includes but is not limited to at least one of the following information: remaining power, power consumption in standby mode, power consumption in working mode, number of times used in a historical period of time, duration of each use, and frequency of use in a historical period of time.

[0124] S102: The central device generates a summary of energy consumption of at least one battery-carrying device in the whole house based on energy consumption information of multiple battery-carrying devices (examples of second devices).

[0125] Optionally, the central device may store the energy consumption information of the above-mentioned multiple battery-carrying devices. The central device may aggregate and process the energy consumption information of the multiple battery-carrying devices to generate the aggregated energy consumption of at least one battery-carrying device in the whole house.

[0126] Exemplarily, the summary of energy consumption for the entire house includes, but is not limited to, at least one of the following information: total electricity consumption for the entire house, energy consumption statistics for the entire house, low-power devices that require low-power warnings or reminders, high-power consumption circuits for the entire house, high-load equipment for the entire house, power consumption of multiple battery-powered devices in the entire house, and power generation and energy storage conditions for the entire house.

[0127] The total power consumption of the whole house can be the power consumption with monthly granularity, or the total power consumption calculated with other time units as granularity. Among them, the time unit can be set by the smart panel or by the user, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit it.

[0128] Exemplarily, the central device can summarize the consumed power, remaining power, and remaining available time of multiple battery-powered devices, and can generate statistical tables of different dimensions for the entire house based on at least one of the power consumption, remaining power, and remaining available time, such as a statistical table of monthly electricity consumption for the entire house and a statistical table of the load for the entire house.

[0129] Exemplarily, the hub device may identify a device whose remaining battery power is lower than a threshold as a device that requires a low-battery warning or reminder, and remind the user of the low-battery device.

[0130] Optionally, the energy consumption of a single device in the whole house may include the remaining available time of the device (also referred to as the estimated available time), the remaining power of the device, and the consumed power of the device.

[0131] Taking sensors as an example, for example, the central device can predict the future usage frequency of the sensor and the corresponding power consumption based on the sensor's power consumption in standby mode over a period of history (such as the last month), the power consumption in working mode, the number of times the sensor is used over a period of history, the duration of each use, and the frequency of use over a period of history, and determine the remaining available time of the battery in the door lock based on the predicted future power consumption of the sensor and the current remaining power of the sensor.

[0132] Optionally, the central device can divide the devices in the whole house into multiple levels. Taking the division into three levels as an example, the devices in the whole house can be divided into: devices with sufficient power, devices with insufficient power, and devices that are about to run out of power. The central device has different energy consumption reminder strategies for devices at different levels. For example, for devices that are about to run out of power, the central device instructs the smart panel to indicate the power level with a striking red-filled progress bar to remind the user that the power of the device is about to run out. For devices with sufficient power, the central device instructs the smart panel to indicate the power level with a green-filled progress bar. For devices with insufficient power, the central device instructs the smart panel to indicate the power level with an orange-filled progress bar to remind the user that the device is running out of power.

[0133] S103: The central device sends the summary energy consumption of at least one battery-carrying device in the whole house to the smart panel.

[0134] S104: The smart panel presents the aggregated energy consumption of at least one battery-carrying device in the entire house.

[0135] For example, Figure 6 (a), the smart panel displays interface 601. Interface 601 (an example of the second interface) may include card 601a (an example of the first control), and card 601a is used to present the energy consumption overview of the whole house. For example, card 601a displays the total electricity consumption of the whole house this month, and the low-battery warning device "kitchen air sensor". Optionally, a low-battery warning logo (such as a low-battery battery icon) can also be displayed in card 601a. ​​In this way, the user can be reminded to pay attention to the general energy consumption of the whole house.

[0136] In response to the user clicking on card 601a, the smart panel may jump to Figure 6 Interface 602 shown in (b) is used to present detailed energy consumption of the whole house. Optionally, interface 602 (an example of the first interface) may include one or more cards, such as card 602a, card 602b, card 602c and card 602d. Among them, the information displayed in card 602c is the aggregated energy consumption information of the batteries of multiple devices. The information displayed in cards 602a, 602b, and 602d can be referred to as second aggregated energy consumption information, and the second aggregated energy consumption information is: aggregated energy consumption information of strong electricity of at least one third device.

[0137] Optionally, the second aggregated energy consumption information of at least one third device includes power usage statistics information associated with the at least one third device in the first time period. The power usage statistics information includes at least one of the following information: the total power usage of the at least one third device in the first time period, the total load of the at least one third device, the M1 third devices with the highest power usage among the at least one third device, the N1 third devices with the highest load among the at least one third device, the P1 third devices with remaining power below the first threshold among the at least one third device, and the Q1 third devices with the lowest remaining power among the at least one third device, where M1, N1, P1, and Q1 are all positive integers.

[0138] Optionally, the second aggregated energy consumption information also includes: energy storage statistical information associated with the at least one third device in the second time period; the energy storage statistical information includes at least one of the following information: the total energy storage amount of the at least one third device in the second time period.

[0139] like Figure 6 (b), card 602a can present the total electricity consumption of the whole house this month "168 degrees", the high-power consumption circuit "living room" of the whole house this month, and the statistical table of electricity consumption of the whole house in multiple months throughout 2022, such as the statistical table of electricity consumption from February to July.

[0140] Card 602b can present the current load rate of the whole house "82%", the high-load equipment "air conditioning" of the whole house, and the statistics of the load of the whole house in a day, such as the load statistics from 6:00 to the current time.

[0141] Card 602c can present information associated with the remaining power of multiple battery-powered devices in the whole house. The information associated with the remaining power of the device includes at least one of the following information: the used power of the device, the remaining power, the information of the level corresponding to the remaining power, the available time corresponding to the remaining power, and the information of the level corresponding to the available time. For example, the remaining power of the air sensor 1 in the kitchen is 8%, the remaining power of the door and window sensor in the kitchen is 12%, the remaining power of the infrared sensor in the kitchen is 55%, and the remaining power of the air sensor 2 in the kitchen is 60%. The mobile phone can also prompt the user of two low-power devices in the whole house through card 602c. For another example, the remaining power and available time of each device can be presented in card 602c.

[0142] Optionally, the devices corresponding to the power levels in card 602c can be determined based on information associated with the remaining power. For example, if there are 20 devices in the house, among which the remaining power of kitchen air sensor 1, kitchen door and window sensor, kitchen infrared sensor, and kitchen air sensor 2 is the least, the mobile phone can display information associated with the remaining power of these devices in card 602c (such as remaining power, available time).

[0143] Optional, such as Figure 6 In (b), the remaining power at different levels in card 602c may correspond to different display styles or UI effects. For example, for devices with a remaining power of 8% or 12%, the remaining power is indicated by color A (shown as black fill) in the circle. For devices with a remaining power of 55% or 60%, the remaining power is indicated by color B (shown as diagonal fill) in the circle.

[0144] Card 602d can present the total power generation of the whole house this month "68 degrees", the current energy storage of the whole house "98%", and a statistical table of the energy storage of the whole house in multiple months throughout 2022, such as the statistical table of energy storage from February to July.

[0145] According to the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application, battery-carrying devices connected to the whole house report energy consumption information to the central device. The central device can instruct the smart panel to display the multi-dimensional energy consumption of the whole house (such as electricity consumption, power generation, and load) to meet the user's management needs for the energy consumption of the whole house, and guide the user to take corresponding energy consumption management measures according to the summarized energy consumption of at least one battery-carrying device in the whole house.

[0146] Optional, such as Figure 6 (b) may also include a control control of the intelligent circuit breaker (power supply control device), and the control control may be used to control the on state of the power supply control device.

[0147] In some embodiments, in response to a user clicking on Figure 6 The smart panel can jump to the card 602c shown in (b) as shown in FIG. Figure 6 Interface 603 shown in (c) of FIG. Interface 603 may include multiple cards. Taking card 603a as an example, card 603a may present 8% of the remaining power of air sensor 1, a progress bar of the remaining power, and an estimated usable time of 8 days. Optionally, card 603a may also present a device icon of air sensor 1.

[0148] The smart panel can determine the display style of the remaining power progress bar according to the remaining power of the device and / or the estimated usable time. The display styles of different power levels can be divided into levels / layers. Figure 6In (c), the remaining power progress bar in card 603a is filled with black (actual UI implementation is red) to indicate the remaining power, the remaining power progress bar in card 603b is filled with slashes in style A (actual UI implementation is yellow or orange) to indicate the remaining power, and the remaining power progress bar in card 603c is filled with slashes in style B (actual UI implementation is green) to indicate the remaining power. In this way, through different UI display styles, the energy consumption of the device level can be presented in a hierarchical manner. For example, the remaining power progress bar filled with red UI indicates low power, which can prompt the user to charge or replace the battery in time.

[0149] In the embodiment of the present application, a device whose remaining power progress bar (hereinafter referred to as the progress bar) is filled with green color can be called a high power device; a device whose remaining power progress bar is filled with orange color can be called a medium power device; and a device whose remaining power progress bar is filled with red color can be called a low power device. Here, high, medium, and low power are relative concepts and do not represent the absolute high or low power values.

[0150] The technical solution of the embodiment of the present application is that the smart panel can obtain the energy consumption of multiple battery-powered devices in the whole house, and display the energy consumption of the whole house at different granularities, such as displaying the power information statistics table at the whole house level and the remaining power information at the device level. It can improve the efficiency of energy consumption management and effectively guide users to charge or replace batteries in time.

[0151] The embodiment of the present application also provides an energy consumption management method. When the battery power of a battery-carrying device is low, the smart panel can present energy consumption prompt information of the battery-carrying device to prompt the user to replace the battery of the battery-carrying device or charge it in time. Figure 7 An exemplary process of the method is shown. Figure 7 , the method may include the following steps:

[0152] S201. The battery-carrying device reports energy consumption information.

[0153] Accordingly, the hub device receives energy consumption information from the battery-powered device.

[0154] S202: The central device generates an energy consumption reminder strategy for battery-powered devices based on the energy consumption information.

[0155] Optionally, the energy consumption reminder strategy may include: sending energy consumption indication information (which may be referred to as energy consumption reminder) for battery-powered devices according to corresponding push time intervals.

[0156] As a possible implementation method, the central device can determine the energy consumption reminder strategy based on at least one of the type of battery-powered device, the remaining power, and the estimated available time. For example, for the battery-powered device with the above-mentioned remaining power progress bar in orange, since the power shortage is not too serious, it is determined to push energy consumption reminder information once a week to remind the user to prepare spare batteries. For another example, for the device with the above-mentioned remaining power progress bar in red, since the power shortage is serious, energy consumption reminder information for the device is pushed once every other day to remind the user to replace the battery or charge the device in time. For another example, for the device with the above-mentioned remaining power progress bar in red, if the device is an important device (such as a door lock or curtain motor) according to the device type, energy consumption reminder information is pushed once a day to remind the user that the device is about to shut down and the battery needs to be replaced or charged immediately. For another example, for important devices, the energy consumption reminder information is pushed once in each home scene. For another example, for devices with an estimated available time of less than three days, it is determined to push energy consumption reminder information every day.

[0157] The types of important devices can be pre-set. For example, the smart panel in the energy management system provides a setting entry for users to set the types of important devices. For another example, the energy management system can set power-sensitive devices such as door locks as important devices based on user usage habits.

[0158] In addition to pushing energy consumption reminder information at fixed time periods, the energy consumption reminder strategy can also push energy consumption reminder information dynamically. As a possible implementation method, the central device can determine the scene where the battery-carrying device is located and make dynamic reminders based on the scene. For example, the central device determines that the current scene is the user's home based on the status of devices such as door locks and human body sensors, and can push energy consumption reminder information when the user returns home to remind the user to pay attention to the energy consumption of the entire house equipment.

[0159] As a possible implementation method, the central device can divide the energy consumption prompt information into different levels according to the urgency of the energy consumption prompt information to be pushed. Optionally, the energy consumption prompt information includes reminder information and alarm information. For situations where urgent reminders of power are required, push alarm information. For situations where non-urgent reminders of power are required, push reminder information. Among them, the prompt strength of the alarm information is stronger than the prompt strength of the reminder information. In other words, the alarm information is more likely to attract the user's attention to the energy consumption situation to be pushed. The specific implementation method of the alarm information and reminder information can be found below. For example, for the above-mentioned device with a red remaining power progress bar, an alarm message is pushed once a day to remind the user to replace the battery or charge the device in time. For another example, for the battery-powered device with an orange remaining power progress bar, since the power shortage is not too serious, it is determined to push a reminder message once a week to remind the user to prepare spare batteries.

[0160] Optionally, the hub device can update the device reminder policy. For example, for a door lock, when the door lock battery is less than 40%, it is determined that an energy consumption reminder is sent every three days. When the door lock battery is less than 20%, it is determined that an energy consumption reminder is sent every day to remind the user to replace the device battery or charge it in time.

[0161] S203. The central device sends energy consumption reminders according to the reminder strategy.

[0162] Accordingly, the smart panel receives energy consumption prompts from the hub device.

[0163] In some examples, the energy consumption prompt is a warning message. In other examples, the energy consumption prompt is a reminder message.

[0164] S204: The smart panel displays energy consumption prompts for battery-powered devices.

[0165] Take the energy consumption indication received by the smart panel from the central device as an example, Figure 8 (a), the smart panel can display a red circle (indicated by black filling in the figure) (an example of a new message mark) on the icon 801a (an example of the first icon) in the message center of the interface 801 according to the reminder information, and the number of new messages can be displayed in the red circle to remind the user that there are new messages. In response to the user clicking on the icon 801a, the smart panel jumps to the following Figure 8 The interface 802 of the message center shown in (b) displays specific reminder information in the interface 802. For example, a card pops up in the interface 802, and the power reminder information 802a is displayed in the card to remind the user that the power of device A is low and it is recommended to prepare a spare battery.

[0166] Take the example of the smart panel receiving alarm information from the central device. Fig. 9 According to the warning information, the smart panel can pop up a warning card 901a on the interface 901 to remind the user that the door lock is low on power and needs to replace the battery in time.

[0167] Optionally, in order to ensure that the user receives the alarm information as much as possible, the central device or smart panel can also push the alarm information to the user's commonly used devices, including but not limited to watches, mobile phones and other devices that are usually carried with them. Fig. 9 , the mobile phone receives the alarm information carrying the alarm identifier, and pops up an alarm message 902a on the interface 902. Optionally, the alarm message is displayed separately from the ordinary message. Fig. 9 The warning message 902a includes the word "warning" 902b, and the UI effect of the warning word is different from the UI effect of the ordinary message, for example, the warning word is displayed with a flashing effect. For another example, the mobile phone can display the warning message on the top.

[0168] The technical solution of the embodiment of the present application can remind users to pay attention to the power status of devices in the whole house through appropriate devices (such as smart panels and mobile phones) in a graded and classified manner, so as to guide users to replace the batteries of devices or charge them in time. At the same time, the prompting method is simple and practical, which can effectively manage the energy consumption of corresponding devices in the whole house and alleviate users' anxiety about energy consumption management.

[0169] As a possible implementation method, the user can manually trigger the smart panel to stop displaying Fig. 9 For example, the user slides the warning card 901a to the left, triggering the smart panel to stop displaying the warning card 901a. Alternatively, the user can also trigger the smart panel to stop displaying the warning card 901a in other ways, which is not limited in the present embodiment of the application.

[0170] Alternatively, after the alarm is lifted, the alarm card 901a automatically disappears. For example, after the user replaces the battery of the door lock or charges the door lock, the door lock has sufficient power, the alarm is lifted, and the smart panel no longer displays the alarm card 901a. Subsequently, if the door lock is low on power again, the hub device can trigger the hub device to pop up the alarm card again.

[0171] The present application also provides an energy consumption management method that can generate personalized low-power processing suggestions for low-power devices in the whole house to avoid the unavailability of devices due to insufficient power. Fig.10 An example of a process of the method is shown in FIG. Fig.10 , the method may include the following steps:

[0172] S301. The battery-carrying device reports energy consumption information.

[0173] S302: The central device generates energy consumption processing suggestions for battery-powered devices.

[0174] As a possible implementation method, the central device can generate energy consumption processing suggestions (also called processing suggestions or emergency suggestions) for battery-carrying devices based on the product consumables, service information, and energy consumption information of the battery-carrying devices. For example, for important devices that are about to run out of power, if the conditions for exchanging batteries with other devices are met, the processing suggestions for the important device will be pushed to the smart panel to prompt the user to use the batteries of other devices as emergency batteries and replace them with the important device.

[0175] S303. The central device issues energy consumption management suggestions.

[0176] Accordingly, the smart panel receives energy consumption handling suggestions from the hub device.

[0177] Optionally, the processing suggestions may be pushed to the smart panel together with the reminder information and alarm information mentioned above, or may be pushed dynamically and timely as needed, or may be pushed at a fixed time.

[0178] S304: The smart panel presents energy consumption management suggestions for battery-powered devices.

[0179] Some examples include Figure 8 (b), in response to the user clicking on the reminder information 802a, the smart panel may jump to the following Fig.11A The information details interface 1101 shown. The interface 1101 may include a low-battery handling suggestion for device A, "It is recommended to prepare a spare battery". Optionally, the interface 1101 may also include a button 1101a. In response to the user clicking the button 1101a, the smart panel may jump to the battery purchase interface. The user can conveniently purchase batteries through the corresponding interface. Optionally, the smart panel may recommend batteries compatible with device A to the user in the purchase interface, for example, displaying the batteries compatible with device A at the front of the purchase interface.

[0180] In other examples, such as Fig. 11B The information details interface 1102 shown in (a) may include the remaining power of the filter element and the estimated usable time. Optionally, the interface 1102 may also include a buy filter element button. In response to the user clicking the buy filter element button, the smart panel may jump to the following Fig. 11B (b) shows interface 1103. Interface 1103 may include a purchase QR code for the filter element. In response to the user's scanning operation, the smart panel may jump to the purchase interface of the filter element.

[0181] In other examples, such as Figure 8 (b), in response to the user clicking on the reminder information 802a, the smart panel may jump to the following Fig.12 In the interface 1201 shown, the smart panel may display a processing suggestion "Recommend charging immediately" in the interface 1201. Optionally, the interface 1201 may also include a button 1201a. In response to the user clicking the button 1201a (an example of the second operation), the smart panel may pop up a window in the interface 1201 and display an operation guide for guiding the user to charge in the window. Alternatively, the smart panel may jump to a new interface to display the operation guide.

[0182] Or, if Fig. 9 In response to the user double-clicking card 901a, the smart panel can jump to Fig.12 Interface 1201 is shown.

[0183] In other examples, such as Fig.13, the smart panel displays a processing suggestion in the information details interface 1301, "It is recommended to replace the battery of device B (an example of the fifth device) with device A (an example of the fourth device) for use". Optionally, the interface 1301 may also include a button 1301a. In response to the user clicking the button 1301a, the smart panel may pop up a window in the interface 1301 and display an operation guide in the window, thereby guiding the user to replace the battery on other devices with the current device A for emergency use. Among them, when selecting a device B that can be used to provide a battery, the specific selection of the device B can be determined by referring to whether the device B is a device that has not been used for a long time or is used less frequently, referring to the battery type of the device B, or combining the current power of the device B. Optionally, the interface 1301 may also include a button 1301a. In response to the user clicking the button 1301a (an example of the third operation), the smart panel may jump to the interface of the online shopping mall.

[0184] The processing suggestions are not limited to the ones listed above, and may also include door-to-door delivery service suggestions, etc., which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

[0185] According to the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application, the smart panel can display processing suggestions of corresponding categories to guide the user to replace the battery or charge it in time.

[0186] The embodiment of the present application also provides an energy consumption management method. The energy consumption management system mentioned above can be connected to an external management platform (such as a property management system) to support the external management platform to centrally manage the energy consumption of the whole house. Fig.14 An exemplary process of the method is shown. The method may include the following steps:

[0187] S401. The battery-equipped device reports energy consumption information.

[0188] S402. The central device generates information related to energy consumption management of the whole house based on energy consumption information of multiple battery-carrying devices.

[0189] Optionally, the energy consumption management related information includes but is not limited to at least one of the following: the overall energy consumption of the whole house (or aggregated energy consumption), the energy consumption of a single device in the whole house, energy consumption indication information (such as reminders or alarms), low power handling suggestions, and reminder strategies. The detailed description of these information can be found above and will not be repeated here.

[0190] S403. The central equipment reports the energy consumption management related information to the property management system.

[0191] In this way, the external management platform can perceive the energy consumption of all the equipment in the house. In some embodiments, after receiving the energy consumption management related information with authorization, the property management system can centrally manage the energy consumption of the whole house according to the energy consumption management related information. For example, when the door lock of a user's home is about to run out of power, the property management system charges the door lock or replaces the battery to improve safety.

[0192] In the above, the summary of energy consumption, energy consumption prompt information, and energy consumption processing suggestions of at least one battery-carrying device in the whole house are presented through the interface as an example. In other embodiments, the summary of energy consumption, energy consumption prompt information, and energy consumption processing suggestions of at least one battery-carrying device in the whole house can also be presented through voice. As a possible implementation method, the user queries the summary of energy consumption, energy consumption prompt information, and energy consumption processing suggestions of at least one battery-carrying device in the whole house through a voice entry such as a speaker.

[0193] For example, the user initiates a voice command "Query the devices that need battery replacement". The speaker receives the voice command and determines that the devices in the house that need battery replacement are door locks and curtain motors based on the aggregated energy consumption of at least one battery-powered device in the house obtained from the central device. Then, the voice message "The devices that need battery replacement are door locks and curtain motors. A battery purchase suggestion has been sent to your mobile phone. You can browse and purchase batteries through the mobile phone interface" can be played.

[0194] For another example, the speaker plays energy consumption management suggestions at fixed time periods or in specific scenarios (such as returning home) to guide users to view operating instructions through screen devices such as mobile phones or smart panels and follow the instructions.

[0195] Alternatively, when certain conditions are met, voice devices such as speakers actively play the summary energy consumption, energy consumption prompt information, and energy consumption processing suggestions of at least one battery-powered device in the house.

[0196] Optionally, the speaker plays power reminders in different levels. For example, in the homecoming / leaving home scenario, the speaker plays energy consumption reminders to remind the user of low-power devices.

[0197] For another example, the speaker plays an alarm tone and energy consumption alarm information every other day to remind users to replace device batteries or charge them in time.

[0198] The above two interfaces respectively display the summary energy consumption information of multiple devices in the whole house (presented in Figure 6 (b) shown in the interface 602) and the energy consumption information of each device (presented in Figure 6 Taking the interface 603 shown in (c) as an example, in other embodiments, the aggregated energy consumption information of multiple devices in the whole house and the energy consumption information of each device can be displayed in one interface.

[0199] It should be noted that the above-mentioned multiple embodiments can be combined and the combined scheme can be implemented. Optionally, some operations in the process of each method embodiment are optionally combined, and / or the order of some operations is optionally changed. In addition, the execution order between the steps of each process is only exemplary and does not constitute a limitation on the execution order between the steps. There can also be other execution orders between the steps. It is not intended to indicate that the execution order is the only order in which these operations can be performed. Ordinary technicians in this field will think of many ways to reorder the operations of this article. In addition, it should be pointed out that the process details involved in a certain embodiment of this article are also applicable to other embodiments in a similar manner, or different embodiments can be used in combination.

[0200] In addition, some steps in the method embodiment may be equivalently replaced by other possible steps. Alternatively, some steps in the method embodiment may be optional and may be deleted in certain usage scenarios. Alternatively, other possible steps may be added in the method embodiment. Alternatively, the execution subject (such as a functional module) of some steps in the method embodiment may be replaced by other execution subjects.

[0201] Furthermore, the above method embodiments may be implemented separately or in combination.

[0202] Some other embodiments of the present application provide a device, which may be the first device, the second device, the third device, the fourth device, etc. The device may include: a display screen, a memory, and one or more processors. The display screen, the memory, and the processor are coupled. The memory is used to store computer program code, and the computer program code includes computer instructions.
