FORGOTTEN POWER SWITCHOFF DETECTION DEVICE, FORGOTTEN POWER SWITCHOFF DETECTION PROGRAM, FORGOTTEN POWER SWITCHOFF DETECTION METHOD, AND DETECTION SYSTEM

摘要

This forgotten power switchoff detection device has an away-from-home assessment section for creating a power usage pattern from power consumption calculated from past power consumption data for a consumer's home, and on the basis of the power usage pattern, assessing whether the consumer is away from home. The forgotten power switchoff detection device also has a forgotten switchoff detecting section for receiving current power consumption data for the consumer's home, and in the event of an assessment by the away-from-home assessment section that the consumer is away from home, detects that it was forgotten to switch off the power supply to an electrical device in the consumer's home, on the basis of the received power consumption data.
