The first power usage charge is a value calculated based on the current operating state of the power consuming device 10. For example, the time zone may be configured to be resettable by a customer through a service app running on the customer terminal 40.

In step S320, when the service server 30 changes the operating state of the power consuming device 10, a process of calculating the expected second power usage fee for each time period is performed. The second power usage charge is not the current operating state of the power consuming device 10, but is an expected charge when the target temperature of an air conditioner or refrigerator is changed to save energy.

In step S330, a process of calculating, by the service server 30, an estimated savings rate, which is the difference between the first electricity usage fee and the second electricity usage fee, is performed.

In step S340, a process is performed by the service server 30 to provide energy saving information including the first power use charge, the second power use charge, and the estimated saving charge through the service app running on the customer terminal 40. .

As described in detail above, according to the present invention, a customer who has purchased a power consumption meter such as a smart plug can voluntarily provide information to identify the power consumption device connected to the power consumption meter to the customer. By providing customer-customized convergence information to customers by organically analyzing the power consumption device identification information and the power consumption information transmitted by the power consumption meter, and providing customer-customized convergence information, the customer who subscribes to the service can maintain the subscription status for a long time It has the effect of providing an IoT-based power consumption device convergence consulting service system that induces active participation of customers and contributes to energy saving.

In addition, there is an effect of providing real-time abnormal operation notification information informing customers that the power consuming device is in an abnormal state through analysis of the power consumption of the power consuming device.

In addition, there is an effect that it is possible to provide customized notification information for device status, including recommendation information on the current state of the power consuming device and the next action to be performed by the customer after the current state.

In addition, there is an effect of providing customers with comparative analysis information on power consumption of the same product, which is comparative analysis information on the power consumption of other customers who use the same product as themselves.

In addition, there is an effect of providing comparison and analysis information on power consumption of similar products by comparing and analyzing power consumption information between products with the same energy consumption efficiency.

In addition, there is an effect of being able to provide energy saving information including an estimated saving rate expected when the operation state of the power consuming device is changed to customers.
