Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0043] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of this application described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0044] According to one aspect of the embodiments of this application, a method for displaying the energy consumption of home appliances is provided. This method is widely applicable to whole-house intelligent digital control application scenarios such as smart homes, smart home ecosystems, and intelligence house ecosystems. Optionally, in this embodiment, the above-mentioned method for displaying the energy consumption of home appliances can be applied to, for example... Figure 1 The hardware environment shown consists of terminal device 102 and server 104. For example... Figure 1 As shown, server 104 is connected to terminal device 102 via a network and can be used to provide services (such as application services) to the terminal or clients installed on the terminal. A database can be set up on the server or independently of the server to provide data storage services for server 104. Cloud computing and / or edge computing services can be configured on the server or independently of the server to provide data processing services for server 104.

[0045] The aforementioned network may include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: wired network, wireless network. The aforementioned wired network may include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: wide area network, metropolitan area network, local area network. The aforementioned wireless network may include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity), Bluetooth. The terminal device 102 may not be limited to PC, mobile phone, tablet computer, smart air conditioner, smart range hood, smart refrigerator, smart oven, smart stove, smart washing machine, smart water heater, smart washing equipment, smart dishwasher, smart projector, smart TV, smart clothes rack, smart curtains, smart audio-visual equipment, smart socket, smart speaker, smart speaker box, smart fresh air equipment, smart kitchen and bathroom equipment, smart bathroom equipment, smart robot vacuum cleaner, smart window cleaning robot, smart mopping robot, smart air purifier, smart steam oven, smart microwave oven, smart water heater, smart air purifier, smart water dispenser, smart door lock, etc.

[0046] Currently, 3D home views are mainly used for geometric modeling and visualization of spatial structures and home appliances, such as furniture placement, appliance placement, and room layout. When a user wants to know the energy consumption data of a smart device (such as an air conditioner, refrigerator, or water heater), the system usually cannot directly present the relevant information in the 3D scene. Instead, the user must exit the current 3D interface and be redirected to a separate 2D management page to query the energy consumption data of that device.

[0047] The technical problems with this separate design are twofold: firstly, users need to repeatedly switch between a three-dimensional space and a two-dimensional data interface, making the operation complex; secondly, energy consumption information is detached from its physical space, making it difficult for users to intuitively connect abstract energy consumption data with the spatial location and usage scenarios of specific devices, resulting in a poor user experience. Therefore, it limits users' overall perception and ability to quickly assess the energy usage of home appliances.

[0048] The method for displaying the energy consumption of home appliances provided in this application aims to solve the above-mentioned technical problems of the prior art.

[0049] This application provides a method for displaying the energy consumption of home appliances. The method displays a floor plan interface and an energy consumption information interface floating above the floor plan interface. The floor plan interface displays a three-dimensional floor plan model showing the structure of each room area and icons of home appliances placed in corresponding locations. Each icon also displays the total energy consumption of that appliance. This allows users to quickly and intuitively perceive the energy consumption of each appliance within the three-dimensional view. The energy consumption information interface also displays the total energy consumption information of all home appliances within a room, organized by room dimension. This allows users to intuitively perceive the energy consumption levels in different room areas. In response to a user's operation on the total energy consumption of a target home appliance in the three-dimensional floor plan model, the energy consumption distribution information of the target home appliance is displayed. This allows users to further view the energy consumption details of high-energy-consuming home appliances for energy-saving control.

[0050] The technical solution of this application and how the technical solution of this application solves the above-mentioned technical problems are described in detail below with specific embodiments. These specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments. The embodiments of this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0051] Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating the energy consumption display method for home appliances provided in an embodiment of this application. The executing entity in this embodiment can, for example, be a smart home control application. Figure 2 As shown, the energy consumption display method for home appliances provided in this embodiment includes:

[0052] S201. Display the energy consumption interface of home appliances; the energy consumption interface includes a floor plan interface and an energy consumption information interface that floats on the floor plan interface; wherein, the floor plan interface displays a three-dimensional floor plan model, the three-dimensional floor plan model includes at least one room area, and at least one virtual device icon and total energy consumption of home appliances arranged in the room area; the energy consumption information interface includes at least two of the following: energy consumption information, energy saving mode control, and peak-shifting power consumption control.

[0053] In this embodiment of the application, the floor plan interface can refer to an interactive three-dimensional floor plan view displayed on a terminal device. In this view, the structure of each room can be presented in response to the user's rotation and zoom operations; the icons of home appliances placed in each room are rendered and displayed; and the current energy consumption value of each home appliance in each room area is displayed in the form of a label.

[0054] The three-dimensional floor plan model can be an interactive three-dimensional floor plan model generated based on the two-dimensional floor plan. The two-dimensional floor plan can be an existing floor plan uploaded by the user, or a floor plan selected by the user from the template library provided by the system or created based on a template. This application does not impose any special restrictions on this.

[0055] A 3D apartment model includes not only elements such as walls, doors, windows, furniture, and equipment, but also defines at least one room area. A room area refers to an independent space within the 3D apartment model, defined according to the apartment's structure, such as a bedroom, living room, or kitchen, used to distinguish the allocation of energy consumption data within different spaces.

[0056] Within each room area, virtual device icons are placed according to the actual physical location of home appliances in the space. For example, a virtual air conditioner icon is placed near the bedside in the bedroom area, and a virtual television icon is placed on the TV wall in the living room area. Each virtual device icon is bound to a real device and can respond to user clicks, triggering the corresponding device energy consumption data viewing interface or device control interface.

[0057] The 3D apartment model also displays the total energy consumption. This total energy consumption can refer to the total energy consumption at the device level. For example, the energy consumption value of each individual device is displayed below, above, or next to each virtual device icon, such as "Air conditioner 1.2 kWh" or "Washing machine 480L". In this embodiment, the total energy consumption value can be updated in real time to reflect the latest energy consumption data.

[0058] Optionally, each virtual device icon may also be surrounded by a status indicator ring. The display color of the indicator ring is associated with the energy consumption status of the corresponding home appliance. For example, when the current total energy consumption of the home appliance is detected to be lower than a preset threshold, the status indicator ring is displayed in a first color (e.g., green); when the current energy consumption of the home appliance is detected to be higher than or equal to the preset threshold, the status indicator ring switches to a second color (e.g., red) to issue a visual alarm.

[0059] An energy consumption interface can refer to a user interface used to centrally display and manage energy consumption information of home appliances. In the embodiments of this application, the energy consumption interface can be a composite interface, composed of a floor plan interface and an energy consumption information interface. For example, the energy consumption information interface and the floor plan interface are displayed side by side in the display area in a split-screen or picture-in-picture format. The floor plan interface occupies the main part of the display area, while the energy consumption information interface is fixed to the side of the display area (such as the right, left, or bottom). The two interfaces do not obstruct each other and are visible simultaneously.

[0060] Energy consumption information may include regional energy consumption data and its analysis results bound to room areas, and / or device energy consumption data and its analysis results bound to virtual device icons.

[0061] For example, energy consumption information can include: device-level energy consumption data, various energy costs (such as "water cost 32 yuan, electricity cost 183 yuan, gas cost 20 yuan"), summary information of various energy costs (such as "total cost 235 yuan"), and the percentage of various energy costs to the total cost (such as "electricity costs account for 78%)", and scenario-based energy consumption (such as "away mode saves 1.2 kWh"). Optionally, the energy consumption information interface can also include temperature information such as room temperature, humidity, and outdoor temperature.

[0062] In this embodiment, the energy-saving mode control can be used to control home appliances to enter the energy-saving mode, and the peak-shifting power consumption control can be used to control the energy consumption of home appliances at different times.

[0063] The energy-saving mode control may include a water-saving mode and / or an energy-saving mode. The energy-saving mode is used to control home appliances to reduce energy consumption, and the water-saving mode is used to control water-using home appliances to reduce water consumption. The energy-saving mode control may be, for example, a switch button, a circular button, or a card-style control. In some embodiments, the display state of the energy-saving mode control may be associated with the current on / off state of the energy-saving mode: when the energy-saving mode is off, the control is displayed in gray; when the energy-saving mode is on, the control is highlighted (e.g., turns green).

[0064] Peak-shifting electricity use can refer to optimizing the operation of home appliances based on electricity prices at different times. It automatically controls the equipment to operate during periods with lower electricity prices (such as off-peak hours or flat periods), reducing electricity consumption during peak hours and thus lowering overall electricity costs.

[0065] In some embodiments, the 3D floor plan model may respond to user interactions, including:

[0066] In response to the user's rotation operation, the viewing angle is adjusted so that the user can view the room structure and equipment layout from different angles;

[0067] In response to the user's zoom operation, the display scale is adjusted so that the user can zoom in to view device energy consumption details or zoom out to observe the energy consumption distribution throughout the house;

[0068] In response to the user's click, the corresponding room area or virtual device icon is selected, triggering the energy consumption information interface to display the corresponding detailed energy consumption information.

[0069] In some embodiments, the energy consumption information interface can be floating above the floor plan interface as an independent view layer, and can be adjusted accordingly in response to the user's touch operation, including:

[0070] In response to the user's dragging operation, the position of the energy consumption information interface on the screen moves accordingly, so that the user can adjust the specific area of ​​the energy consumption information interface on the apartment layout interface according to their observation needs.

[0071] In response to user clicks, the energy consumption information interface switches between expanded and collapsed states, or jumps to display more detailed energy consumption data corresponding to the clicked control;

[0072] In response to the user's zooming operation, the display size of the energy consumption information interface increases or decreases accordingly to accommodate different levels of information display needs.

[0073] S202. In response to the user's operation on the total energy consumption of the target home appliances in the three-dimensional house model, display the energy consumption distribution information of the target home appliances.

[0074] The essence of this step is: in response to the user's preset operation regarding the total energy consumption of the target home appliance in the 3D floor plan model, the system displays more detailed energy consumption distribution information for that target home appliance in the energy consumption information interface. The target home appliance can refer to the home appliance with the highest total energy consumption displayed in the 3D floor plan model, and the user needs to further view its energy consumption details.

[0075] The energy consumption distribution information is used to characterize the distribution of electricity consumption within a preset period. The preset period can be, for example, today, the last 7 days, the last 30 days, the same period last month, or a custom period. In some embodiments, the energy consumption information interface also includes a time period selector, allowing users to select any of the preset periods by clicking, swiping, or inputting. The system responds to the period selection operation by updating the displayed electricity consumption distribution in real time.

[0076] In this embodiment, the energy consumption distribution information of the target home appliance can be displayed in one or more of the following ways: bar chart, line chart, heat map, list, etc. This embodiment does not impose any special restrictions on the display method of the energy consumption distribution information of the target home appliance.

[0077] In one possible implementation, at least one energy consumption distribution type can be displayed in response to a user's operation on the total energy consumption of a target home appliance in a 3D apartment model, and in response to the operation of selecting a target energy consumption distribution type, the energy consumption distribution information of the target home appliance can be displayed using the target energy consumption distribution type.

[0078] First, in response to the user's preset operation on the total energy consumption of the target home appliances in the 3D house model, at least one energy consumption distribution type is displayed in the energy consumption information interface for the user to select.

[0079] The preset operations can be, for example, click operations, long press operations, swipe operations, etc. For instance, in response to a user clicking the total energy consumption label or the icon of the target home appliance displayed above it, at least one candidate energy consumption distribution type can be displayed.

[0080] For example, energy consumption distribution types can be: time distribution type (displaying energy consumption distribution by time dimension such as hour, day, week, month, etc.), time period distribution type (displaying energy consumption distribution by billing time period of electricity price in a day, such as peak, flat, low period, etc.), and comparison distribution type (comparison distribution with historical same period, similar equipment, or preset threshold).

[0081] Optionally, there is a preset mapping relationship between energy consumption distribution types and display methods, with each energy consumption distribution type corresponding to one or more preset display methods. For example, the time distribution type corresponds to a bar chart or line chart to show the trend of energy consumption over time; the time period distribution type corresponds to a heat map or stacked bar chart to show the energy consumption intensity at different times of the day.

[0082] Then, in response to the user's selection of the target energy consumption distribution type from the candidate energy consumption distribution types, the system displays the energy consumption distribution information of the target home appliance in the energy consumption information interface in the display mode corresponding to the target energy consumption distribution type.

[0083] The selection operation includes at least one of the following forms: click operation (the user clicks on the target energy consumption distribution type in the candidate distribution types), slide selection (the user slides on the menu to the highlighted target energy consumption distribution type and then releases the finger to confirm), and voice command (the user speaks the name of the target energy consumption distribution type, and the system recognizes it and selects it automatically).

[0084] For example, the following is a specific implementation method for displaying the energy consumption distribution information of the target home appliance:

[0085] When the target energy consumption distribution type is time distribution, the daily power consumption distribution of the target home appliances over the past 30 days is displayed in the form of a bar chart. The horizontal axis marks the date, and the vertical axis represents the power consumption (kWh). Each day corresponds to one bar, and the height of the bar represents the power consumption of that day. The color of the bar changes gradually with the power consumption. The higher the power consumption, the darker the bar color. Bars that exceed the preset power consumption threshold are highlighted.

[0086] When the target energy consumption distribution type is a mode distribution type, the power consumption percentage of each operating mode of the target home appliance is displayed in the form of a pie chart. Each sector of the pie chart corresponds to a different operating mode (such as cooling, heating, and ventilation); the size of the sector indicates the proportion of power consumption of that mode to the total power consumption; the mode name and specific value are labeled next to the sector (such as "cooling accounts for 65%, power consumption is 78 kWh").

[0087] When the target energy consumption distribution type is a comparative distribution type, the daily electricity consumption of the target home appliances is displayed in the form of a grouped bar chart, which compares the daily electricity consumption of the target home appliances with the same period of the previous week. Each date corresponds to two bars side by side, with the left bar representing this week and the right bar representing last week. The color of the bars distinguishes this week from last week. When the bar of this week is higher than the bar of last week, an upward arrow and the percentage increase are displayed above.

[0088] Optionally, when energy consumption distribution information is displayed, the corresponding device icons in the 3D apartment model can be highlighted or display status indicators simultaneously, so that users can always clearly see the physical devices corresponding to the energy consumption information they are currently viewing, avoiding the disconnect between energy consumption data and the 3D view.

[0089] Thus, compared to existing technologies where users need to jump to a two-dimensional list interface to view the energy consumption values ​​of target home appliances, in this embodiment, users can see the total energy consumption of each home appliance in a three-dimensional house model. They can also click on the total energy consumption of a specific device to trigger the energy consumption distribution information of that device, realizing the integration of spatial positioning and data analysis. Users not only know which device has high energy consumption, but can also further obtain its energy consumption distribution information, providing a data foundation for users to formulate energy-saving strategies.

[0090] The energy consumption display method for home appliances provided in this application displays an energy consumption interface for the home appliances. The energy consumption interface includes a floor plan interface and an energy consumption information interface floating on the floor plan interface. The floor plan interface displays a three-dimensional floor plan model, which includes at least one room area and virtual device icons and total energy consumption of at least one home appliance arranged in the room area. The energy consumption information interface includes energy consumption information. Then, in response to the user's operation on the total energy consumption of the target home appliance in the three-dimensional floor plan model, the energy consumption distribution information of the target home appliance is displayed. This method directly renders the energy consumption data of the home appliances onto the corresponding room and device models of the three-dimensional floor plan model, realizing a "what you see is what you get" energy consumption perception, simplifying the operation steps for users to view the energy consumption information of the devices, and improving the user experience.

[0091] In some embodiments, energy consumption information includes the energy consumption level, total energy consumption, and energy savings of all home appliances in the three-dimensional house model within a preset time period.

[0092] The energy consumption level is used to characterize the current energy consumption level. For example, based on the user's historical electricity consumption data, the average energy consumption of similar household types, and preset energy-saving targets, the current energy consumption status of each virtual device can be divided into multiple levels, such as "Excellent", "Good", "Average", "Poor", and "Exceeds Standard". The energy consumption level can be displayed in the form of text labels, color codes, or icons. For example, it can be displayed as a label in the top area of ​​the energy consumption information interface, such as "Electricity Index: Average".

[0093] Total energy consumption can refer to the total energy consumed by all household appliances in a specific room area or the entire house within a preset time period in a 3D house model. Total energy consumption can include energy consumption data from devices of different energy types, such as electricity consumption (kWh) for electrical appliances, water consumption (L) for water appliances, and gas consumption (m³) for gas appliances. Here, total energy consumption can be read from devices such as smart meters, water meters, and gas meters.

[0094] Energy savings can refer to the amount of energy consumed by home appliances within a preset time period compared to a baseline value. Here, the baseline value can be, for example, a historical value for the same period, a preset energy consumption value, or a user-set value. The preset energy consumption value can be a standard energy consumption value determined based on the equipment's energy efficiency standards, the current floor plan's floor area, and the average energy consumption level of the same floor area and the same equipment configuration.

[0095] In this embodiment of the application, the layout of energy consumption level, total energy consumption, and energy saved in the energy consumption information interface can be as follows: the three data items can be arranged horizontally in the top area of ​​the energy consumption information interface; or the three data items can be encapsulated in separate cards, and the cards can be arranged horizontally; or the three data items can be arranged vertically in sequence, with each item occupying one row.

[0096] In this way, by displaying energy consumption information in three dimensions—energy consumption level, total energy consumption, and energy saved—users can gain a comprehensive understanding of the current energy consumption level of their home appliances, specific energy consumption data, and relative changes in energy consumption, thereby making more accurate energy-saving decisions.

[0097] Optionally, energy consumption information may also include: water consumption, energy consumption forecast (e.g., "Tomorrow's forecast: 12.5 kWh"), cost forecast (e.g., "Estimated electricity cost at the end of the month: 156 yuan"), and energy saving potential (e.g., "Optimization can save 8 kWh / month").

[0098] Optionally, in response to the user's operation of the energy-saving mode control, the system controls the home appliances in the room area or the whole house that are allowed to enter energy-saving mode to enter energy-saving mode, and displays a prompt message indicating that energy-saving mode has been entered.

[0099] First, in response to the user's operation of the energy-saving mode control, the system identifies and filters out home appliances allowed to enter energy-saving mode. For example, in response to the user's operation of the energy-saving mode control, the system may prompt the user to select a control range, and then identify and filter out home appliances within that range that are allowed to enter energy-saving mode, based on the user's selected range (room area or whole house). Alternatively, the control range can be determined based on the user's current interface: if the user has selected a specific room area, the control range is that room area; if the user is on the global panel or the homepage without a specified room, the control range is the whole house. Then, the system identifies the home appliances within the control range that are allowed to enter energy-saving mode and controls them to enter energy-saving mode.

[0100] Here, devices allowed to enter energy-saving mode must meet at least one of the following conditions: the device type supports energy-saving mode (such as air conditioners, refrigerators, water heaters, washing machines, lighting equipment, etc.); the device's current state allows switching to energy-saving mode (such as not being in forced operation state); the device has established communication with a terminal device with a smart home control application installed and is online.

[0101] In one possible implementation, the energy consumption information interface can also display a list of devices that can enter energy-saving mode, allowing users to select some devices or choose "select all" for unified control.

[0102] Then, a control command to enter energy-saving mode can be sent to the selected target home appliances through a local area network or cloud server, so that the target home appliances will adjust their current operating mode to energy-saving mode after receiving the control command.

[0103] Finally, in response to the successful activation of energy-saving mode, a prompt message indicating the entry into energy-saving mode is displayed on the energy consumption information interface, such as "Energy-saving mode has been activated; energy-saving mode has been set for 5 devices." Alternatively, the visual state of the energy-saving mode control itself is updated, for example, the control changes from gray to green. Optionally, an energy-saving icon can also be displayed next to the device icon that has entered energy-saving mode in the 3D floor plan model.

[0104] In some embodiments, in response to the user operating the energy-saving mode control again, a control command to exit the energy-saving mode is sent to the target home appliance so that the target home appliance returns to the operating state before the energy-saving mode was turned on, and the energy consumption information interface displays a prompt message indicating that the energy-saving mode has been exited.

[0105] Therefore, through the aforementioned energy-saving mode controls and their interaction logic, users can control multiple home appliances to enter energy-saving mode with a single click, eliminating the need for individual device settings and improving operational efficiency. Simultaneously, various forms of prompts allow users to promptly understand the activation status and specific effects of the energy-saving mode, enhancing the user experience.

[0106] Optionally, in response to the user's operation of the peak-shifting power consumption control, the peak-shifting power consumption function is enabled, and a prompt message for enabling the peak-shifting power consumption function is displayed; wherein, the peak-shifting power consumption function controls the energy consumption of home appliances in a room area or throughout the house according to the electricity price of different time periods.

[0107] First, in response to the user's activation of the off-peak electricity usage function, for example, in response to the user's operation on the off-peak electricity usage control, the system can prompt the user to select a control range. Then, based on the user's selected range (room area or whole house), the system can identify and filter the home appliances allowed to participate in off-peak electricity usage within that range. Alternatively, the control range can be determined based on the user's current interface: if the user has selected a specific room area, the control range is the room area; if the user is on the global panel or the home page without a specified room, the control range is the whole house. Then, the system can identify and filter home appliances suitable for participating in off-peak electricity usage, for example, appliances that support timed start-up or delayed operation (such as washing machines, dishwashers, dryers, water heaters, etc.).

[0108] Then, a delayed start or timed start control command is sent to the target home appliance. Finally, in response to the successful activation of the peak-shifting power consumption function, a prompt message indicating that the peak-shifting power consumption function has been activated is displayed on the energy consumption information interface.

[0109] Optionally, in the 3D apartment model, the device icons that have been set to use off-peak electricity can display an off-peak indicator and the estimated start time. For example, the dishwasher icon can display a moon icon and "23:30" in the lower right corner.

[0110] Optionally, the materials and / or colors of each room in the 3D house model are related to the total energy consumption of all home appliances in the corresponding room.

[0111] Understandably, to visually reflect the energy consumption of home appliances in each room, the visual attributes of each room area in the 3D floor plan model are linked to the corresponding energy consumption level. In this way, users can intuitively see "which room consumes the most electricity / water / gas," thus accurately locating high-energy-consuming rooms and enabling targeted energy-saving interventions for those rooms.

[0112] In this embodiment of the application, the color of the room area can have a preset mapping relationship with the total energy consumption value. For example, the total energy consumption of the living room is 2.3kWh, which corresponds to green; the total energy consumption of the bedroom is 4.8kWh, which corresponds to yellow; and the total energy consumption of the kitchen is 7.1kWh, which corresponds to red.

[0113] The visual texture of the surface materials (such as walls and floors) in a room can be correlated with the total energy consumption. Low-energy-consumption rooms have walls with a delicate latex paint texture; medium-energy-consumption rooms have walls with a slightly grainy texture; and high-energy-consumption rooms have walls with a distinctly rough stone texture.

[0114] For example, multiple energy consumption threshold ranges can be preset, with each range corresponding to a color or material. When the total energy consumption of a room falls into a certain range, the visual attribute corresponding to that range is applied.

[0115] In one possible implementation, the visual attributes of a room area can be updated in real time as energy consumption data changes. That is, when the energy consumption data of any device in the room is updated, the system recalculates the total energy consumption of the room and immediately adjusts the color / material of the room area. For example, when a user opens the energy consumption interface, the living room appears green; two hours later, the air conditioner is turned on, causing the living room's energy consumption to rise, and the color gradually changes from green to yellow. Finally, when the total energy consumption of the living room exceeds a preset threshold, its color turns red, thus reflecting the real-time changes in energy consumption.

[0116] Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the energy consumption interface provided in the embodiments of this application is shown below. Figure 3 As shown, the energy consumption interface includes the following areas: top status bar, apartment layout interface, bottom navigation bar, and energy consumption information interface.

[0117] The top status bar displays the current time (e.g., "9:41"), the user-defined home name (e.g., "My Home"), and the currently selected floor range (e.g., "All Floors").

[0118] The floor plan interface displays a 3D floor plan model, which includes room areas on multiple floors (such as basement level 1, floor 1, floor 2, floor 3, and floor 4), as well as virtual icons of home appliances placed in each room area. The virtual icons of the home appliances display their total energy consumption values ​​(e.g., "standing air conditioner 48.8 kWh, refrigerator 58.4 kWh, washing machine 480L" for the current room area). Each floor is visually distinguishable, with floor labels (such as "floor 1", "floor 2") floating next to the corresponding floor.

[0119] The bottom navigation bar includes several function tabs, namely "Fault", "Consumables", "Energy Consumption", "Lighting", "Environment", "Camera" and "Curtains". The "Energy Consumption" tab is currently selected, indicating that the current interface is the energy consumption interface.

[0120] The lower left corner of the floor plan interface also features a "2D" and "3D" switching control, which is used to switch between the display modes of two-dimensional and three-dimensional views.

[0121] The energy consumption information interface displays electricity and water consumption cards for the aforementioned room areas. The electricity consumption card shows the electricity index as "moderate," the monthly electricity consumption as 107.2 kWh, and the monthly energy saving as 6.5 kWh. Below the electricity consumption card are smart energy-saving controls and peak-shifting electricity-saving controls, displaying the text "Activate Smart Energy Saving" and "Activate Peak-Shifting Electricity Saving," respectively. The water consumption card displays "This month's water consumption: 480L."
