Electronic apparatus and control method thereof
In an electronic apparatus, reference information stored on a memory includes standard appliance ownership information describing owned home appliances of at least one standard household and standard monthly power consumption information of the standard household. A processor obtains first monthly power consumption information of a first household which owns a first home appliance of a same type as a standard home appliance described in the standard appliance ownership information. Based on a difference between the standard and first monthly power consumption information being within a threshold range, the processor compares appliance monthly power consumption information of the standard home appliance and of the first home appliance, and, based on the result being within a threshold range, predicts first appliance ownership information on owned home appliances of the first household based on the standard appliance ownership information. The processor then provides guide information associated with the first appliance ownership information.

compare, based on the priority order of each of the at least one reference household and a difference between the reference monthly power consumption information and the first monthly power consumption information being within a threshold range, reference appliance monthly power consumption information of the at least one reference home appliance and first appliance monthly power consumption information of the first home appliance,
predict, based on the difference between the reference appliance monthly power consumption information and the first appliance monthly power consumption information being within a threshold range, first appliance ownership information on owned home appliances of the first household corresponding to the reference appliance ownership information, and
provide guide information associated with the first appliance ownership information to control the owned home appliances of the first household based on a prediction result.
2 . The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

5 . The electronic apparatus of claim 1 ,
wherein the first home appliance is a home appliance registered in the electronic apparatus, and
the processor is further configured to:
obtain second monthly power consumption information of a second household without an owned home appliance registered in the electronic apparatus,
obtain characteristic information of the second household,
identify a reference household of the at least one reference household, based on the second monthly power consumption information and the characteristic information of the second household, as matching with the second household, and
predict information on owned home appliances of the second household based on the reference appliance ownership information.
6 . The electronic apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the characteristic information of the second household comprises at least one characteristic from among a number of household members, a size of a household space, and a type of a household.
7 . The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the guide information comprises at least one guidance from among purchase recommendation information associated with remaining home appliances excluding the first home appliance and a power reduction scenario of the first household.
8 . The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
predict the first appliance ownership information by inputting the first monthly power consumption information to a trained neural network model.
9 . The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein information on owned home appliances which comprises types and number of home appliances owned by the first household is predicted based on the reference appliance ownership information.
10 . A control method of an electronic apparatus which stores reference information comprising reference appliance ownership information describing owned home appliances of at least one reference household and reference monthly power consumption information of the at least one reference household, the control method comprising:
obtaining first monthly power consumption information of a first household which owns a first home appliance of a same type as at least one reference home appliance from among a plurality of home appliances described in the reference appliance ownership information;
identifying a priority order of each of the at least one reference household based on a comparison between a number of the owned home appliances of each of the at least one reference household and a predetermined number of home appliances;
comparing, based on the priority order of each of the at least one reference household and a difference between the reference monthly power consumption information and the first monthly power consumption information being within a threshold range, reference appliance monthly power consumption information of the at least one reference home appliance and first appliance monthly power consumption information of the first home appliance;
predicting, based on the difference between the reference appliance monthly power consumption information and the first appliance monthly power consumption information being within a threshold range, first appliance ownership information on owned home appliances of the first household corresponding to the reference appliance ownership information; and
providing guide information associated with the first appliance ownership information to control the owned home appliances of the first household based on a prediction result.
11 . The control method of claim 10 ,
wherein the predicting of the first appliance ownership information comprises predicting, based on the difference between the reference appliance monthly power consumption information and the first appliance monthly power consumption information being within the threshold range, a type of the first home appliance and a type of the at least one reference home appliance to be a same type, and
wherein the providing of the guide information comprises providing guide information associated with remaining home appliances excluding the first home appliance.
12 . The control method of claim 10 ,
wherein the reference appliance ownership information comprises information on home appliances which are registered and managed in the electronic apparatus.
13 . The control method of claim 10 , further comprising:
identifying a reference household of the at least one reference household with owned home appliances of at least a threshold number registered in the electronic apparatus matching with the first household.
14 . The control method of claim 10 ,
wherein the first home appliance is a home appliance registered in the electronic apparatus, and
wherein the predicting of the first appliance ownership information comprises:
obtaining second monthly power consumption information of a second household without an owned home appliance registered in the electronic apparatus;
obtaining characteristic information of the second household;
identifying a reference household of the at least one reference household, based on the second monthly power consumption information and the characteristic information of the second household, as matching with the second household; and
