ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE APPARATUS FOR PREDICTING POWER CONSUMPTION, AND METHOD THEREFOR

The present disclosure relates to an artificial intelligence device and method capable of predicting an amount of power consumption occurring in a home, can obtain power consumption data for pre-registered electronic devices, check whether there is a specific electronic device for which the power consumption data has not been obtained, and if there is a specific electronic device for which the power consumption data has not been obtained, obtain mixed power data consumed in a current home, classify the obtained mixed power data into a plurality of individual power data, extracts individual power data matching the specific electronic device, estimate power consumption data for the specific electronic device based on the extracted individual power data, and predict an amount of power consumption in a home based on power consumption data for all pre-registered electronic devices.
