Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A carbon emission tracker is disclosed. The carbon emission tracker includes a main body, a power input interface, a power output interface, a power detecting unit, a communication unit, a memory unit, and a processing unit. The power detecting unit is configured to detect an electricity usage of an electrical appliance. The processing unit is configured to aggregate power consumption data over a time period and to store the power consumption data for the time period to the memory unit. The processing unit transmits the power consumption data of the memory unit to a data center through the communication unit. The power consumption data further includes identification data of the electrical appliance.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A carbon emission tracker, coupled to a power input end of an electrical appliance, comprising: a main body; a power input interface disposed on the main body for receiving a power; a power output interface disposed on the main body and coupled to the power input interface, the power output interface being configured for fitting to a power plug of the electrical appliance; a power detecting unit disposed between the power input interface and the power…
