Description

Energy consumption management method and electronic equipment

[0001] This application claims priority to the Chinese patent application filed with the State Intellectual Property Office on October 25, 2023, with application number "202311392808.4" and application name "Energy Consumption Management Method and Electronic Equipment", the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference in this application. Technical Field

[0002] The embodiments of the present application relate to the field of terminal technology, and in particular to an energy consumption management method and an electronic device. Background Art

[0003] Nowadays, users own an increasing number of devices. Some of these devices have built-in batteries. As shown in Figure 1A, users can typically check the device's battery level through the device's built-in display. This method requires users to turn on the device screen to view the device's battery level information. This process is complex and difficult for users to operate. In addition, users need to check the device next to it, which places high demands on the device's installation or placement. If the device is not installed in an appropriate location or does not have a screen, the battery level query is likely to fail.

[0004] As shown in Figure 1B , users can also log in to an application (APP) on their mobile phone to check the remaining power of their devices. In this method, the APP interface can only display the remaining power of at least one device, but it is difficult to meet the user's power query needs. There is an urgent need to develop a method for efficiently managing energy consumption in the whole house.

[0005] Summary of the Invention

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, an energy consumption management method and electronic device are provided. The technical solution provided in this application can improve the efficiency of energy consumption management.

[0007] In order to achieve the above technical objectives, the following technical solutions are provided:

[0008] In a first aspect, an energy consumption management method is provided, which is applied to a first device or a component (such as a chip) that supports the implementation of the function of the first device. The method may include: obtaining information associated with the remaining power of multiple second devices in the first space; the information associated with the remaining power of the second device 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; based on the information associated with the remaining power of the multiple second devices, determining at least one second device among the multiple second devices; presenting a first interface, the first interface including first aggregated energy consumption information of the at least one second device, and the first aggregated energy consumption information including information associated with the remaining power of the at least one second device.

[0009] 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 achieve efficient energy consumption management.

[0010] For example, the used power and the remaining power may be in the form of power percentage.

[0011] As a possible implementation method, before presenting the first interface, the following is further included:

[0012] Presenting a second interface, the second interface including a first control for viewing the first aggregated energy consumption information;

[0013] 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.

[0014] 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 high current of the at least one third device.

[0015] 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.

[0016] As a possible implementation manner, the second aggregated energy consumption information of the at least one third device includes power usage statistics associated with the at least one third device in the first time period;

[0017] 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 the 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.

[0018] As a possible implementation, the second aggregated energy consumption information further includes: energy storage statistical information associated with the at least one third device during the second time period;

[0019] 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.

[0020] As a possible implementation method, it also includes:

[0021] Obtaining an energy consumption management suggestion for the fourth device, the energy consumption management suggestion including at least one of the following: a suggestion to prepare a spare battery, a suggestion to maintain the power level of the fourth device; the suggestion to maintain the power level of the fourth device including at least one of the following: a suggestion to charge the battery, a suggestion to replace the battery with a new one, or a suggestion to swap the battery of the fifth device for use with the fourth device;

[0022] The energy consumption treatment suggestion is presented.

[0023] 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.

[0024] As a possible implementation method, it also includes:

[0025] receiving a second operation input by the user;

[0026] In response to the second operation, an operation guide corresponding to the energy consumption processing suggestion is presented.

[0027] In this way, the first device can guide the user to perform corresponding operations according to detailed operating instructions, and the user can maintain the energy consumption of the device and improve the efficiency of energy consumption management in an efficient human-computer interaction process.

[0028] As a possible implementation method, it also includes:

[0029] receiving a third operation input by the user;

[0030] In response to the third operation, an interface for purchasing a battery for the fourth device is displayed.

[0031] As a possible implementation method, it also includes:

[0032] Obtaining energy consumption prompt information of the 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 corresponding to different levels of remaining power;

[0033] Present energy consumption prompt information of the fourth device.

[0034] 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 unusable due to insufficient battery power.

[0035] As a possible implementation manner, presenting the energy consumption prompt information of the fourth device includes:

[0036] A card is popped out, wherein the card includes the energy consumption alarm information.

[0037] For example, for a device that is extremely short of power, the first device pops up a card to remind the user to perform energy maintenance on the device in a more prominent manner, effectively prompting the user to perform energy maintenance on the device in a timely manner.

[0038] As a possible implementation manner, presenting the energy consumption prompt information of the fourth device includes:

[0039] Displaying a new message icon on the first icon of the second interface, wherein the new message icon is used to prompt that the energy consumption reminder information has been received;

[0040] In response to the user's operation on the first icon, the energy consumption reminder information is displayed.

[0041] For example, for devices with low power but not extremely low power, the first device can display a new message icon to remind the user to perform device energy maintenance. By providing hierarchical energy consumption reminders for devices with different remaining power levels, users can be effectively reminded to perform device energy maintenance in different scenarios.

[0042] As a possible implementation manner, the first interface further 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.

[0043] As a possible implementation manner, in the first interface, the second devices corresponding to different levels of remaining power have different user interface UI effects.

[0044] Exemplarily, the first device displays the remaining power-related information of different devices in a hierarchical manner through a control representing the remaining power. Exemplarily, the control can present different remaining power levels in different UI colors. Exemplarily, the control can be a power bar or a power ring. Exemplarily, the more power there is, the more areas 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).

[0045] As another example, the first device distinguishes the levels of remaining power through text, such as displaying high power, low power, and medium power.

[0046] In this way, the first device displays multi-dimensional aggregated energy consumption information in a hierarchical 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 hierarchically displayed information and take corresponding power maintenance measures in a timely manner.

[0047] 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: the power consumption of the second device in standby mode within a historical period of time, the power consumption of the second device in working mode within a historical period of time, the number of times the second device is used within a historical period of time, the duration of each use, and the frequency of use of the second device within a historical period of time.

[0048] As a possible implementation, the fifth device is a device with a usage frequency lower than the second threshold, and / or the fifth device has a remaining battery. For example, the first device can instruct the user to swap the battery of device A, which is used less frequently and has sufficient remaining battery, with device B, which is used more frequently and has a low battery.

[0049] As a possible implementation manner, obtaining information associated with remaining power of multiple second devices in the first space includes:

[0050] 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.

[0052] As a possible implementation method, it also includes:

[0053] generating an energy consumption reminder policy for the fourth device based on energy consumption information of the fourth device in the first space and the type of the fourth device; the energy consumption reminder policy 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;

[0054] According to the energy consumption reminder policy, energy consumption reminder information for the fourth device is sent to the first device.

[0055] Optionally, the type of equipment can be divided into important equipment and non-important equipment.

[0056] As a possible implementation manner, sending the energy consumption reminder information according to the energy consumption reminder strategy includes:

[0057] According to the first cycle, the first energy consumption prompt information is sent to device A;

[0058] 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 shorter 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.

[0061] That is, the first device can display energy consumption reminder information or energy consumption warning information in different levels, and the energy consumption reminder information and energy consumption warning information adopt different display or voice reminder forms. For example, the energy consumption warning information pops up in the form of a card, and the user needs to manually clear the alarm.

[0090] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application are described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Among them, 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 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).

[0091] References to "one embodiment" or "some embodiments" etc. described in this specification mean that the specific features, structures or characteristics described in conjunction with the embodiment are included in one or more embodiments of the present application. Therefore, the statements "in one embodiment", "in some embodiments", "in some other embodiments", "in some other embodiments", etc. appearing 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 another way. The terms "including", "comprising", "having" and their variations all mean "including but not limited to", unless otherwise specifically emphasized in another way. The term "connected" includes direct and indirect connections, unless otherwise stated. "First" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and are not to be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated.

[0092] In the embodiments of this application, words such as "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 this application should not be interpreted as being preferred or advantageous over other embodiments or designs. Rather, the use of words such as "exemplarily" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a concrete manner.

[0093] An embodiment of the present application provides an energy consumption management method, which is applicable to an energy consumption management system. By way of example, FIG2 is a schematic diagram of an energy consumption management system to which the method is applicable. As shown in FIG2 , the energy consumption management system can manage and control smart devices on a home basis. Among them, a family can also be referred to as a whole house, and the whole house can be divided into different subspaces. For example, the whole house includes an entrance corridor, kitchen, dining room, living room, balcony, master bedroom, second bedroom, bathroom, etc.

[0094] The energy consumption management system may include a device 100, which has a display screen. The 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, the device 100 can present an energy consumption management interface for the whole house. Users can use this energy consumption management interface to view the energy consumption of devices in the whole house locally or remotely. This can effectively guide users to implement corresponding measures based on energy consumption, such as replacing batteries with low power in the device.

[0095] The device 100 may also be referred to as a graphical user interface (GUI) or voice user interface (VUI) entry device.

[0096] Optionally, the whole house may also be provided with a device 400, which 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 summary energy consumption of at least one battery-powered 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 learn about the summary energy consumption of at least one battery-powered 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.

[0097] Optionally, the entire house may be equipped with devices 200 (e.g., IoT devices). Devices 200 may be devices that require energy management. For example, they may be wireless sensors with built-in batteries, smart door locks, smart curtain motors, smart pillows, smart toothbrushes, and other devices.

[0098] In an embodiment of the present application, when the device 200 determines that certain conditions are met, it can proactively report its own remaining power to the control system central module. For example, the remaining power can be reported on a regular or periodic basis. For another example, the remaining power can be reported when the power level changes. For another example, the remaining power can be reported every time the power level decreases by a certain number of degrees (such as 5 degrees). For another example, when the power level is greater than 30 degrees, the remaining power can be reported every time the power level decreases by 5 degrees. After the power level decreases to 30 degrees, the remaining power can be reported every time the power level decreases by 1 degree.

[0099] As a possible implementation, a profile 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.

[0100] The entire 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 device in each room or area, or the central device for the entire house, can exist independently, or can be integrated with the device 200 or the device 100 into one device, or can be a device of other forms. This application does not limit this.

[0101] 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.

[0102] 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 layers according to the different power levels. For example, for devices that are extremely short of power, a red power progress bar indicates their power level, and for devices with sufficient power, a green power progress bar indicates their power level.

[0103] 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-powered device in the whole house and the notification / reminder / alarm of low power in the whole house through this interface. The aggregated energy consumption of at least one battery-powered 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).

[0104] Optionally, the whole house may also include other devices, such as gateways, routers, etc. The control system center module can also be deployed on devices such as gateways, routers, or central control screens throughout the house.

[0105] Optionally, as shown in FIG3 , 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.

[0106] 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 positions, etc.

[0107] The above-mentioned multiple devices can be connected through various feasible communication protocols to implement the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application. Taking the device 100 as a smart panel as an example, Figure 3 shows a possible connection method between the devices. The device 200, the gateway, and the 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, the device 200 can also access the gateway via Bluetooth so as to access the router through the gateway. In some examples, the gateways can be connected to each other via wireless means such as Wi-Fi or via wired means such as network cables. In some examples, the gateway can be connected to the hub device 300 via wireless means such as Wi-Fi or via wired means 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 wirelessly. The hub device 300 can be connected to the server via the Internet. The connection relationship shown in Figure 3 is only an example. It should be understood that connections can also be established between devices in other ways. The embodiments of the present application do not limit the specific connection methods between devices.

For example, the technical solutions of the above embodiments can also be applied to systems that need to manage energy consumption in factories and offices.

[0117] In a specific implementation, as an embodiment, the processor 501 may include one or more CPUs, such as CPU0 and CPU1 in FIG. 4 .

[0118] In a specific implementation, as an embodiment, an electronic device may include multiple processors, such as processor 501 and processor 504 in FIG4 . Each of these processors may be a single-core (single-CPU) processor or a multi-core (multi-CPU) processor. A processor herein may refer to one or more devices, circuits, and / or processing cores for processing data (e.g., computer program instructions).

[0119] Optionally, if the device is an entrance device such as a central control screen, as shown in FIG4 , the device may further 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.

[0120] It is understood that the structure shown in FIG4 does not constitute a specific limitation on the device. In other embodiments of the present application, the device may include more or fewer components than shown, or some components may be combined or separated, or the components may be arranged differently. The components shown in the figure may be implemented in hardware, software, or a combination of software and hardware.

[0121] The following mainly takes device 100 (the first device) as the smart device control panel (which can be simply referred to as the smart panel) 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.

[0122] FIG5 shows an example of a process of the energy consumption management method provided in an embodiment of the present application. The method may include the following steps:

[0123] S101. Battery-powered devices in the entire house (an example of a first space) report energy consumption information.

[0124] As a possible implementation method, battery-powered devices report their respective energy consumption information to a central device where a central module of the control system is located.

[0125] 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.

[0126] S102. The central device generates a summary of energy consumption of at least one battery-carrying device in the entire house based on energy consumption information of multiple battery-carrying devices (examples of second devices).

[0127] Optionally, the central device may store the energy consumption information of the plurality of battery-carrying devices. The central device may aggregate and process the energy consumption information of the plurality of battery-carrying devices to generate an aggregated energy consumption status of at least one battery-carrying device in the entire house.

[0128] Exemplarily, the summary energy consumption of the whole house includes but is not limited to at least one of the following information: the total electricity consumption of the whole house, the energy consumption statistics of the whole house, low-power devices that require low-power warnings or reminders, high-power consumption circuits in the whole house, high-load equipment in the whole house, power consumption of multiple battery-powered devices in the whole house, and the power generation and energy storage situation of the whole house.

[0129] The total electricity consumption of the whole house can be the electricity consumption with monthly granularity, or the total electricity 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 application does not limit it.

[0130] For example, 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.

[0131] For example, the hub device may identify a device whose remaining battery power is lower than a threshold as a device requiring a low-battery warning or reminder, and remind the user of the low-battery device.

[0132] Optionally, the energy consumption of a single device in the entire house may include the remaining available time of the device (also known as the estimated available time), the remaining power of the device, and the consumed power of the device.

[0133] Taking the sensor 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 it has been 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 usable 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.

[0134] 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 with power that are about to run out. 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 power of the device is insufficient.

[0135] S103: The central device sends the aggregated energy consumption of at least one battery-powered device in the entire house to the smart panel.

[0136] S104: The smart panel displays the aggregated energy consumption of at least one battery-powered device in the entire house.

[0137] Exemplarily, as shown in (a) of Figure 6, the smart panel displays interface 601. Interface 601 (an example of the second interface) may include card 601a (an example of the first control), which 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, as well as the "kitchen air sensor" device for low power warning. Optionally, a low power warning sign (such as a low-power battery icon) can also be displayed in card 601a. ​​In this way, the user can be reminded to pay attention to the approximate energy consumption of the whole house.

[0138] In response to the user clicking on card 601a, the smart panel may jump to interface 602 as shown in (b) of Figure 6, where interface 602 is used to present detailed energy consumption information for the entire house. Optionally, interface 602 (an example of a first interface) may include one or more cards, such as card 602a, card 602b, card 602c, and card 602d. 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 may be referred to as second aggregated energy consumption information, which is: aggregated energy consumption information of the strong electricity of at least one third device.

[0139] 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 during 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 during 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.

[0140] Optionally, the second aggregated energy consumption information also includes: energy storage statistical information associated with the at least one third device during the second time period; the energy storage statistical information includes at least one of the following information: the total energy storage capacity of the at least one third device during the second time period.

[0141] As shown in (b) of Figure 6, 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 the electricity consumption of the whole house in multiple months throughout 2022, such as the statistical table of electricity consumption from February to July.

[0142] Card 602b can present the current load rate of the whole house "82%", the high-load equipment "air conditioning" in the whole house, and a statistical table of the load of the whole house in a day, such as the load statistics from 6:00 to the current time.

[0143] Card 602c can present information related to the remaining power of multiple battery-powered devices throughout the house. The information related to the remaining power of the device includes at least one of the following information: the amount of power used by the device, the remaining power, information about the level corresponding to the remaining power, the available time corresponding to the remaining power, and information about the level corresponding to the available time. For example, the remaining power of the kitchen air sensor 1 is 8%, the remaining power of the kitchen door and window sensor is 12%, the remaining power of the kitchen infrared sensor is 55%, and the remaining power of the kitchen air sensor 2 is 60%. The mobile phone can also use card 602c to remind the user of two low-power devices in the house. For another example, the remaining power and available time of each device can be presented in card 602c.

[0144] Optionally, the device corresponding to each power level 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 (such as remaining power and available time) in card 602c.

[0145] Optionally, as shown in FIG6(b), different levels of remaining power 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.

[0146] Card 602d may display the total power generation of the house this month, "68 degrees", the current energy storage of the house, "98%", and a statistical table of the energy storage of the house for multiple months throughout 2022, such as a statistical table of energy storage from February to July.

[0147] According to the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application, battery-powered devices connected to the entire house report energy consumption information to a central device. The central device can instruct the smart panel to display multi-dimensional energy consumption (such as electricity consumption, power generation, and load) at the whole-house level to meet the user's needs for managing the energy consumption of the whole house, and guide the user to take corresponding energy consumption management measures based on the aggregated energy consumption of at least one battery-powered device in the whole house.

[0148] Optionally, as shown in FIG6( b ), a control component of an intelligent circuit breaker (power supply control device) may also be included, and the control component may be used to control the on state of the power supply control device.

[0149] In some embodiments, in response to a user clicking card 602c shown in FIG6(b), the smart panel may jump to interface 603 shown in FIG6(c). Interface 603 may include multiple cards. Taking card 603a as an example, card 603a may display the remaining battery life of air sensor 1 at 8%, a remaining battery progress bar, and an estimated usable life of 8 days. Optionally, card 603a may also display a device icon for air sensor 1.

[0150] Among them, the smart panel can determine the display style of the remaining power progress bar based on the remaining power of the device and / or the estimated available time. Among them, the display styles of different power levels can be divided into levels / layers. As shown in (c) of Figure 6, the remaining power progress bar in card 603a is filled with black (the actual UI is implemented as red) to indicate the remaining power, the remaining power progress bar in card 603b is filled with slash style A (the actual UI is implemented as yellow or orange) to indicate the remaining power, and the remaining power progress bar in card 603c is filled with slash style B (the actual UI is implemented as 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 insufficient power, and the user can be prompted to charge or replace the battery in time.

[0151] In the embodiments of the present application, a device whose remaining battery progress bar (hereinafter referred to as the progress bar) is filled with green is referred to as a high battery device; a device whose remaining battery progress bar is filled with orange is referred to as a medium battery device; and a device whose remaining battery progress bar is filled with red is referred to as a low battery device. Here, high, medium, and low battery are relative terms and do not represent absolute highs or lows in battery values.

[0152] The technical solution of the embodiments of this application enables a smart panel to obtain the energy consumption of multiple battery-powered devices throughout the house and display the energy consumption information at different granularities, such as a house-wide power statistics table and device-level remaining power information. This can improve the efficiency of energy management and effectively guide users to charge or replace batteries in a timely manner.

[0153] The present application also provides an energy consumption management method. When the battery power of a battery-powered device is low, the smart panel can display energy consumption information of the battery-powered device to prompt the user to replace the battery of the battery-powered device or charge it in time. Figure 7 shows an exemplary process of this method. As shown in Figure 7, the method may include the following steps:

[0154] S201. The battery-powered device reports energy consumption information.

[0155] Accordingly, the hub device receives energy consumption information from the battery-powered device.

[0156] S202: The central device generates an energy consumption reminder strategy for battery-powered devices based on the energy consumption information.

[0157] 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.

[0158] 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 whose remaining power progress bar is 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 a spare battery. For another example, for the device whose remaining power progress bar is 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 whose remaining power progress bar is red, if the device is an important device (such as a door lock or curtain motor) based on the device type, an 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 triggered to be pushed once every time you return home. For another example, for a device with an estimated available time of less than three days, it is determined to push energy consumption reminder information every day.

[0159] The classification of critical devices can be pre-configured. For example, the smart panel in the energy management system provides a setting entry for users to set the classification of critical devices. Another example is that the energy management system can set power-sensitive devices such as door locks as critical devices based on user usage habits.

[0160] Energy consumption reminders can be pushed not only at fixed times but also dynamically. One possible implementation involves a hub device determining the location of battery-powered devices and providing dynamic reminders based on the scenario. For example, the hub device could determine that the user is returning home based on the status of devices like door locks and human presence sensors. It could then push an energy consumption reminder when the user returns home, prompting the user to monitor energy consumption across the home.

[0161] 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, alarm information is pushed. For situations where non-urgent reminders of power are required, reminder information is pushed. Among them, the reminder strength of the alarm information is stronger than the reminder 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 device whose remaining power progress bar is red, an alarm message 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 battery-powered device whose remaining power progress bar is orange, 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 a spare battery.

[0162] Optionally, the hub device can update the device's reminder policy. For example, for a door lock, if the battery level drops below 40%, a reminder might be sent every three days. If the battery level drops below 20%, a reminder might be sent daily to remind the user to replace or recharge the device's battery.

[0163] S203. The central device issues energy consumption reminders according to the reminder strategy.

[0164] Accordingly, the smart panel receives energy consumption prompts from the hub device.

[0165] In some examples, the energy consumption prompt is a warning message. In other examples, the energy consumption prompt is a reminder message.

[0166] S204: The smart panel displays energy consumption prompts for battery-powered devices.

[0167] Taking the energy consumption indication received by the smart panel from the hub device as a reminder message as an example, as shown in Figure 8 (a), the smart panel can display a red circle (indicated by black filling in the figure) (an example of a new message identifier) ​​on the icon 801a (an example of the first icon) in the message center of the interface 801 based on the reminder message, 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 interface 802 of the message center as shown in Figure 8 (b), and displays specific reminder information in the interface 802. For example, a card pops up in the interface 802, and the power reminder message 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 backup battery.

[0168] Taking the example of the smart panel receiving an alarm message from the central device, as shown in FIG9 , the smart panel can pop up an alarm card 901a on the interface 901 based on the alarm message to remind the user that the door lock has low battery and needs to replace the battery in time.

[0169] 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. As shown in Figure 9, the mobile phone receives the alarm information carrying the alarm logo, and pops up an alarm message 902a on the interface 902. Optionally, the alarm message is displayed separately from the ordinary message. As shown in Figure 9, the alarm message 902a includes the word "alarm" 902b, and the UI effect of the alarm word is different from the UI effect of the ordinary message, for example, the alarm word is displayed with a flashing effect. For example, the mobile phone can display the alarm message at the top.

[0170] The technical solution of the embodiment of the present application can use appropriate devices (such as smart panels and mobile phones) to hierarchically and categorize reminders for users to pay attention to the power status of devices throughout the house, so as to guide users to replace or recharge their devices in a timely manner. At the same time, the reminder method is simple and practical, which can effectively manage the energy consumption of corresponding devices throughout the house and alleviate users' anxiety about energy consumption management.

[0171] As one possible implementation, the user can manually trigger the smart panel to stop displaying the warning card 901a shown in Figure 9. For example, the user can swipe left on the warning card 901a to trigger the smart panel to stop displaying the warning card 901a. Alternatively, the user can trigger the smart panel to stop displaying the warning card 901a in other ways, which are not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

[0172] Alternatively, after the alarm is resolved, the alarm card 901a automatically disappears. For example, if the user replaces the door lock's battery or charges the door lock, the door lock is fully charged, the alarm is resolved, and the smart panel no longer displays the alarm card 901a. Subsequently, if the door lock experiences a low battery condition again, the hub device can trigger the hub device to pop up the alarm card again.

[0173] The present application also provides an energy consumption management method that can generate personalized low-power handling suggestions for low-power devices throughout the house to minimize device unavailability caused by insufficient power. Figure 10 shows an example of the process of this method. As shown in Figure 10, the method may include the following steps:

[0174] S301. The battery-powered device reports energy consumption information.

[0175] S302: The central device generates energy consumption processing suggestions for battery-powered devices.

[0176] As a possible implementation method, the central device can generate energy consumption treatment suggestions (also called treatment suggestions or emergency suggestions) for battery-powered devices based on the product consumables, service information, and energy consumption information of the battery-powered devices. For example, if the battery of an important device is about to run out and the conditions are available to swap batteries with other devices, the treatment suggestion for the important device will be pushed to the smart panel to prompt the user to swap the battery of the other device as an emergency battery for use in the important device.

[0177] S303. The central device issues energy consumption processing suggestions.

[0178] Accordingly, the smart panel receives energy consumption handling suggestions from the hub device.

[0179] Optionally, the processing suggestions can be pushed to the smart panel together with the reminder information and alarm information mentioned above, or can be pushed dynamically and timely as needed, or pushed at a fixed time.

[0180] S304: The smart panel presents energy consumption management suggestions for battery-powered devices.

[0181] In some examples, such as FIG8(b), in response to a user clicking on reminder information 802a, the smart panel may jump to the information details interface 1101 shown in FIG11A. Interface 1101 may include a low-battery handling suggestion for device A, "It is recommended to prepare a spare battery." Optionally, interface 1101 may also include a button 1101a. In response to a user clicking on button 1101a, the smart panel may jump to a battery purchase interface. Users 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, by displaying batteries compatible with device A at the front of the purchase interface.

[0182] In other examples, the information details interface 1102 shown in FIG11B (a) may include the remaining battery life of the filter cartridge and the estimated usable life. Optionally, interface 1102 may also include a purchase filter button. In response to the user clicking the purchase filter button, the smart panel may jump to interface 1103 shown in FIG11B (b). Interface 1103 may include a purchase QR code for the filter cartridge. In response to the user scanning the code, the smart panel may jump to the purchase interface for the filter cartridge.

[0183] In other examples, such as Figure 8(b), in response to a user clicking on reminder message 802a, the smart panel may jump to interface 1201 as shown in Figure 12, where the smart panel may display a processing suggestion "Recommend charging immediately" on interface 1201. Optionally, interface 1201 may also include button 1201a. In response to a user clicking on button 1201a (an example of a second operation), the smart panel may pop up a window on interface 1201 and display an operating instruction for guiding the user in charging. Alternatively, the smart panel may jump to a new interface to display the operating instruction.

[0184] Alternatively, as shown in FIG9 , in response to the user double-clicking the card 901 a , the smart panel may jump to the interface 1201 as shown in FIG12 .

[0185] In other examples, as shown in Figure 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 further 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 of other devices with the current device A for emergency use. When selecting device B that can be used to provide a battery, the specific selection of device B may be determined by referring to whether device B has not been used for a long time or is used less frequently, referring to the battery type of device B, or combining aspects such as the current power level of device B. Optionally, the interface 1301 may further 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.

[0186] The processing suggestions are not limited to the ones listed above, and may also include door-to-door delivery service suggestions, etc., which are not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

[0187] According to the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application, the smart panel can display processing suggestions of corresponding categories to guide users to replace or charge the battery in time.

[0188] 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's centralized management of the energy consumption of the entire house. Taking the external management platform as an example of a property management system, an exemplary process of the method is shown in Figure 14. The method may include the following steps:

[0189] S401. The battery-powered device reports energy consumption information.

[0190] S402: The central device generates energy consumption management related information for the entire house based on the energy consumption information of multiple battery-powered devices.

[0191] Optionally, energy management-related information includes, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: overall energy consumption (or aggregated energy consumption) for the entire home, energy consumption for individual devices within the home, energy consumption indications (such as reminders or alarms), low-battery handling recommendations, and reminder policies. Details of these items are provided above and are not detailed here.

[0192] S403. The central equipment reports energy consumption management related information to the property management system.

[0193] This allows the external management platform to perceive the energy consumption of all devices in the home. In some embodiments, after receiving authorized energy management information, the property management system can centrally manage energy consumption for the entire home based on this information. For example, if a user's door lock is about to run out of power, the property management system can recharge the lock or replace the battery to improve safety.

[0194] While the above example uses a user interface to present the aggregated energy consumption, energy consumption prompts, and energy consumption management suggestions for at least one battery-powered device throughout the home, in other embodiments, the aggregated energy consumption, energy consumption prompts, and energy consumption management suggestions for at least one battery-powered device throughout the home can also be presented via voice. As one possible implementation, a user can query the aggregated energy consumption, energy consumption prompts, and energy consumption management suggestions for at least one battery-powered device throughout the home through a voice entry such as a speaker.

[0195] 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 whole 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 recommendation has been sent to your mobile phone. You can browse and purchase batteries through the mobile phone interface" can be played.

[0196] For 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.

[0197] Alternatively, when certain conditions are met, voice devices such as speakers will 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.

[0198] Optionally, the speaker can play battery reminders in different levels. For example, in the coming home / leaving home scenario, the speaker can play energy consumption reminders to remind users of low battery devices.

[0199] For example, the speaker plays an alarm tone and energy consumption warning information every other day to remind users to replace the device battery or charge it in time.

[0200] In the above, the example of respectively displaying the aggregated energy consumption information of multiple devices in the whole house (presented in interface 602 shown in (b) of FIG6 ) and the energy consumption information of each device (presented in interface 603 shown in (c) of FIG6 ) through two interfaces is taken. 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.

[0201] 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 in 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.

[0202] In addition, some steps in the method embodiment may be equivalently replaced with 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 to the method embodiment. Alternatively, the execution entities (such as functional modules) of some steps in the method embodiment may be replaced with other execution entities.

[0203] Furthermore, the above method embodiments may be implemented separately or in combination.

[0204] Other embodiments of the present application provide a device, which may be the first device, second device, third device, fourth device, etc. described above.
