Patent number: 10054915Abstract: The obtainment unit obtains information indicative of a content of manual-operation performed by a user regarding control of an intended apparatus from a group of loads, and stores it as manual-operation information including an obtaining time. The identification unit identifies a type of control of the manual-operation information. The determination unit counts the number of times of obtaining the manual-operation information within a counting period equal to two days or more, for each type and for each time period, and determines whether the number of times of obtaining the same type of manual-operation information within the same time period is equal to a predetermined threshold or more. When the number of times of obtaining the same type of manual-operation information within the same time period is determined to be equal to the predetermined threshold or more, the schedule change unit changes a control schedule based on this manual-operation information.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2013Date of Patent: August 21, 2018Assignee: Panasonic Intellectual Property Management Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hiroki Kazuno, Toshiaki Nakao, Tomoya Sogo, Yoshifumi Murakami, Toru Shimotsuma, Ryuichi Maeda

Publication number: 20110172792Abstract: The energy management system includes a judging means (103), a usage information means (105), a schedule input means (106), a simulating means (108), a prediction information indicating means (110). The judging means (103) judges whether or not the device was used for each unit time, on the basis of power consumption of the device in a predetermined time period (measurement value). The usage information indicating means (105) indicates whether or not the device was used for each unit time, on the basis of the judgment result of the judging means (103). The schedule input means (106) requires a user to input schedule information which defines operation of the device for each unit time in the predetermined time period. The simulating means (108) calculates power consumption (prediction value) used in the device which operates in accordance with the schedule information input via the schedule input means (106), on the basis of the measurement value.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 10, 2009Publication date: July 14, 2011Inventors: Kiyotoshi Shinohara, Akio Nakano, Masaaki Terano, Tooru Shimotsuma, Ryuichi Maeda, Tomoya Sogou
