METHOD FOR IDENTIFYING ELECTRIC APPLIANCE AND APPARATUS AND SYSTEM THEREOF

摘要

A method for identifying an electric appliance and an apparatus and a system thereof are provided. The method includes the following steps: respectively collecting a first power event on a first phase power and a second power event on a second phase power; when the first power event and/or the second power event are collected, determining whether the first power event and the second power event substantially occur at the same time; if not, identifying an unknown electric appliance as a first type electric appliance; and if yes, determining whether the first power event and the second power event are substantially the same, wherein if yes, identifying the unknown electric appliance as a second type electric appliance, and if no, identifying the unknown electric appliance as the first type electric appliance.

1. An apparatus for identifying an electric appliance, comprising:
a collection unit respectively collecting a first power event on a first phase power and a second power event on a second phase power; and a processing unit coupled to the collection unit, the processing unit identifying whether an unknown electric appliance is a first type electric appliance or a second type electric appliance:
wherein when the collection unit collects at least one of the first power event and the second power event, the processing unit determines whether the first power event and the second power event substantially occur at the same time, wherein at least one of the first power event and the second power event corresponds to the unknown electric appliance;
if not, the unknown electric appliance is identified as the first type electric appliance;if yes, whether the first power event and the second power event are substantially the same is determined;
if yes, the unknown electric appliance is identified as the second type electric appliance;if not, the unknown electric appliance is identified as the first type electric appliance.
