A rule generation method for electrical appliances management systems with home EoD

Abstract

With home EoD (Energy on Demand), electrical appliances such as TVs or air-conditioners require power to the home server and power is supplied after the acceptances. The policies for power supply are often described by if-then rules, but the users have to describe them minutely and this is difficult. Hence, we propose an electrical appliances management system that automatically generates the rules based on the priorities of appliances. Since the users need not to describe rules directly, they can easily receive the favors of home EoD.
