Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a method for calculating a real-time electricity rate using a wireless electric power transmission,

The present invention relates to a real time electricity rate calculation method, a recording medium thereof, and a radio electric energy amount transmission device, and more particularly, to a real time electricity rate calculation method in which a structure is improved so that real- Medium and a wireless power transmission apparatus therefor.

Since energy resources essential for everyday life and industry are gradually exhausted, countries are investing a lot of money and time in securing energy resources and developing alternative energy. Korea, which depends on imports of most of its energy resources, is not free here either.

In particular, electricity used in social infrastructure, public industry, and households is produced from resources including oil, coal, and natural gas, which depend on imports. The trend is that electricity consumption is increasing every year to be.

Therefore, the government is concerned about blackout especially in the summer, and in order to minimize such anxiety, the general consciousness of power saving including general households, shops, and industrial fields is promoted, but in actual households, It is true that they are not as desperate as the nation.

One of the things that I do not feel like this is that I can not find the concept of charge, electricity amount, electricity reserve, progressive charge etc and I can not find the real and direct feelings on the skin. .

For example, as we make efforts to save fuel to always see and feel the fuel gauge of a car, users can always check the meter and if we understand the system, It will be an opportunity to understand and actively participate in the national policy as a whole.

The way users can feel about using energy on their skin is to check the bill that is charged for the result of using the energy that the user uses. However, such invoices or bills are sent by mail or e-mail only once a month so that it is a formal and routine check, which is not suitable for users to raise their awareness of the use of energy.

In addition, although these contents are recorded in detail in the bill, the conventional technology has been developed so that it is difficult for the consumer to directly check the numerical value of the integrated watt hour meter on the outside and to check the electricity bill. For example, a wireless remote meter reading system (Korean Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-0097842) and a wireless display system for real-time usage power (Korean Laid-open Patent Publication No. 2006-0029736).

However, this conventional technique has a disadvantage in that the structure of a device for transmitting and receiving radio power is complicated and simple, and it is difficult to reset based on the implementation capacity.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a real-time electricity rate calculation method, a recording medium thereof, and a device for transmitting the electric power amount so that a user can know a power consumption amount in real time through wireless transmission.

It is also an object of the present invention to provide a real-time electricity rate calculation method capable of resetting a radio-electric-energy-quantity device based on a simple and realistic capacity, its recording medium and its wireless power-quantity transmission device.

When the user takes a bill (a predetermined portion) based on the amount of power of the integrated watt-hour meter in a portable electronic device and transmits the bill to the wireless watermarking apparatus, the wireless watermarking apparatus includes the amount of watched watermark of the bill and the meter reading date Calculating and outputting the usage amount of the electric appliance based on the reference reset data after recognizing and storing the reference reset data as the reference reset data, and converting the usage amount to the portable electric appliance.

When the portable electronic device captures a specified portion of the bill, various data including the meter reading date and the previous month reading value are recognized by the portable electronic device and sent to the wireless wattage device, It is desirable to store one data for the set period.

Also, a cooperative company capable of performing maintenance, maintenance, and repair of electric equipment including installation, maintenance, repair, and replacement of the electric appliance or the wireless energy quantity device based on the position service of the portable electronic appliance is searched and input The method further comprising:

In addition, it is preferable that the portable electronic device and the wireless watt-hour device communicate with each other through an RF method.

On the other hand, the object of the present invention is also achieved by a computer-readable recording medium recording a real-time electricity rate calculating program.

It is another object of the present invention to provide a portable electronic apparatus which is installed in a distribution board for supplying electric power to a user's home or office and is electrically connected to the distribution board to detect and calculate the usage amount of the electric product, A wireless energy amount device for recognizing the unique ID and communicating with the portable electronic device and the wireless energy amount device when a unique ID including a unique number of the integrated electricity wattage meter that is electrically connected to the distribution board is measured to measure the electric power consumption amount of the electrical product; Wherein the wireless energy amount device senses the usage amount of the electrical product based on a reset time of the date on which the unique ID is allocated and recognizes the usage amount as temporary reset data and then sends the power amount to the portable electronic device This is also achieved by the power-quantity device.

If the user takes a designated portion of the bill based on the amount of power of the integrated watt-hour meter in the portable electronic device and transmits the specified portion of the bill to the wireless watt-hour meter, the wireless watt- It is preferable that the information including the reference reset data is stored as reference reset data, and then the electric energy of the electrical product is calculated based on the reference reset data and is sent to the portable electronic device.

According to the present invention, it is possible to accurately recognize the electricity billing system to consumers who use electricity, easily grasp the electricity consumption amount of each electric appliance, to avoid use of electric appliances having poor electric consumption efficiency rating, You can prevent the charge from being charged in advance.

In addition, it is possible to easily identify the nearest electrical equipment company, so that the user can quickly and cheaply find information on the dangerous use of electrical equipment at low cost, providing information related to the removal, replacement and repair, have.

In addition, since electricity tariffs are converted in real-time in won to consumers, it can also help to reduce raw materials such as crude oil, which is highly dependent on the country's imports, in order to save users electricity bills.
