The present invention relates to the field of Internet of Things (IoT), and provides a gas fee notification method based on a compound IoT and an IoT system. The IoT system includes a user platform, a plurality of service sub-platforms, a management platform, a sensor network platform and a plurality of object sub-platforms; and each of the object sub-platforms includes a gas meter. The gas fee notification method based on the compound IoT and the IoT system provided by the present invention can remind a user when a pricing tier for gas consumption of the user changes, and help the user plan the gas usage, thereby advocating the spirit of energy conservation and environmental protection.

Systems and methods for displaying resource savings. A system may comprise at least one computer-readable storage medium storing executable instructions, and at least one processor programmed by the executable instructions to present a visual representation of resource savings that are attributable to one or more consumption reduction measures. The visual representation may comprise at least one first column representing baseline resource consumption for a reporting period, at least one second column representing actual resource consumption during the reporting period, and a horizontal band intersecting the at least one first column, wherein a height of the horizontal band corresponds to a difference between a height of the at least one first column representing baseline resource consumption for the reporting period and a height of the at least one second column representing actual resource consumption during the reporting period.

Systems and methods for adjusting a baseline resource consumption. The adjustment may be associated with at least one incident impacting resource consumption during a reporting period. resource consumption data may be acquired from one or more resource consumption sub-meters for a plurality of time points during the reporting period. A first resource consumption value may be established based on resource consumption data associated with time points during the reporting period prior to occurrence of at least one incident. A second resource consumption value may be established based on resource consumption data associated with time points during the reporting period subsequent to occurrence of the at least one incident. An amount of reduction or increase in resource consumption attributable to the at least one incident may be determined based on a comparison between the first resource consumption value and the second resource consumption value.

Techniques are described for restricting the use of electricity at a service site that is restricted, such as for non-payment. A threshold value is set, indicating a maximum rate of electricity usage. The threshold value may be set based in part on an ambient temperature or to exclude the use of certain appliances, such as air conditioners. In example operation, it is determined that a consumption level at the service site exceeds the threshold value. Accordingly, electricity is turned off at the service site. After a period of time, that allows customers to turn off one or more appliances, electricity is restored to the customer's service site, and a second consumption level is determined. It is determined if the second consumption level exceeds the second threshold level. If the second consumption level exceeds the second threshold value, then the service is again shut off.
