Electric device, power management apparatus and method for controlling the same
First Claim
1. An electric device comprising:
- an artificial information detection unit to detect artificial information regarding user behavior affecting power consumption of the electric device;
an input unit to receive an operation command of the electric device from a user, the operation command including a target operation value;
a storage unit to store operation information for each period, the operation information including the operation command of the electric device and the artificial information;
a controller configured to;
count a number of change times of the target operation value;
generate a power consumption pattern, including an operation pattern generated on the basis of the target operation value and the counted number, on the basis of the operation information for each period;
generate comparison information by comparing the target operation value with a reference operation value; and
generate a consulting message on the basis of the power consumption pattern, the comparison information, and the counted number, the consulting message showing the effect of the operation information on the power consumption pattern of the electric device; and
a display to display the consulting message.

Abstract
An electric device includes a storage unit to store operation information for each period, a controller to generate a power consumption pattern on the basis of the operation information for each period, and generate a consulting message on the basis of a power consumption pattern, and a display to display the consulting message. A power management device includes a communication unit to receive operation information for each period from several electric devices, a controller to generate a consulting message for each electric device, generate a power consumption pattern on the basis of operation information for each period, and generate a consulting message on the basis of the power consumption pattern, and a display to display a consulting message for each electric device. The electric device or the power management device informs a user of a power consumption pattern on the basis of operation- and environmental-information for each electric device.
