Abstract: A site monitoring method uses an electrical socket device to collect current data of an electrical appliance that is electrically connected to the electrical socket device. Based on the current data, a management server can derive a user behavior in connection with using the electrical appliance, and send out a warning message when the user behavior thus derived is abnormal.

Abstract: A system for registering power outlets for electric vehicle charging that may be used to charge electric vehicles. A database stores subscriber data relating to subscribers registered with the system and power outlet data relating to registered power outlets for electric vehicle charging that have been located by a reporting entity. A server provides a power outlet management system that receives the power outlet data for a power outlet for electric vehicle charging from the reporting entity, registers the power outlet for electric vehicle charging with the power outlet management system if the power outlet electric vehicle charging has not previously been registered and stores the power outlet data for the power outlet for electric vehicle charging in the database. The server is further configured to receive a search request for a useable power outlet for electric vehicle charging from a subscriber, the search request including location information defining an area of search for the useable power outlet for electric vehicle charging, locate at least one power outlet for electric vehicle charging within the area of search that is registered with the power outlet management system and provide a location of the at least one power outlet for electric vehicle charging located within the area of search to the subscriber. A network interface for connecting the server to a network for receiving the power outlet data and the search request.

Abstract: An appliance management method is designed to make power distribution equipment, provided on a power supply channel, control and/or monitor an appliance to be electrically connected to the power distribution equipment. The appliance management method includes an authentication step and a management step. The authentication step includes allowing a high-order system to perform authentication on the power distribution equipment by making the power distribution equipment access the high-order system via a public network after the power distribution equipment has been energized. The management step includes making the power distribution equipment that has been authenticated in the authentication step control and/or monitor the appliance.
