以上説明したように、本実施例の使用電力測定通知システムでは、家電製品の情報を入力するのではなく、通知部(23−a,23−b)により通知することで手間をかけないで、簡便に家電製品を特定することができる。
また、すべての通信情報は、家庭内の電力線内にしか送信されないため情報漏えいのリスクを下げることができる。
このように、本実施例の使用電力測定通知システムによれば、簡便、かつ、セキュアな電力測定および通知が可能であり、家庭内に閉じた電力線を使用する場合において有効である。
以上、本発明者によってなされた発明を、前記実施例に基づき具体的に説明したが、本発明は、前記実施例に限定されるものではなく、その要旨を逸脱しない範囲において種々変更可能であることは勿論である。
When the PLC notification unit (22-a, 22-b) receives a notification command from the power analysis display device 40, it notifies the power consumer. For example, when the notification unit is an LED, the notification is performed by blinking. In the case of a buzzer, notification is given by sound.
That is, since the notification unit (23-a, 23-b) notifies the power consumer, the power consumer does not need to input information on the corresponding home appliance (10-a, 10-b).
As described above, in the power consumption measurement notification system of the present embodiment, it is not necessary to input the information on the home appliances, but to notify the notification unit (23-a, 23-b) without taking time and effort. It is possible to easily identify home appliances.
Moreover, since all communication information is transmitted only within the power line in the home, the risk of information leakage can be reduced.
As described above, according to the power consumption measurement notification system of the present embodiment, simple and secure power measurement and notification can be performed, which is effective when a closed power line is used in the home.
As mentioned above, the invention made by the present inventor has been specifically described based on the above embodiments. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the invention. Of course.
