In the figures, the same or similar reference numerals indicate the same or similar elements or elements with the same or similar functions. The described embodiments are part of the embodiments of this invention, rather than all of the embodiments. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying figures are exemplary, and are intended to explain this invention, but should not be construed as limiting this invention. Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work shall fall within the protection scope of this invention.

[0020] The embodiments of this invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying descriptive figures.

[0021] The estimation and ranking method of personal life carbon emission of this invention, as shown in FIG. 1, includes the following steps:

[0022] 1) Collect and acquire personal daily life data on food, clothing, housing and transportation, which include occurrence period, behavioral type, specific behavior, duration, and quantity.

[0023] 2) Fuzzy interval processing is performed on the collected food, clothing, housing, and transportation data, and the fuzzy interval processing method is: processing the food, clothing, housing and transportation data x to obtain a triangular fuzzy number {tilde over (B)}=(x,α,β) where(x,α,β) refers to the value of the data x is distributed in the interval [x−α,x+β] with different degree of membership.

[0024] 3) Using fuzzy interval addition, add the carbon emissions corresponding to each individual behavior to obtain the fuzzy interval value of the total carbon emissions of the individual on different time scales, then use the same method to obtain the fuzzy interval value of total carbon emissions of each person in the specific group on different time scales.

[0025] 4) Sum the fuzzy interval values of the total carbon emissions of each person in a specific group on the same time scale, and divide by the total number of people in the specific group to obtain the per capita fuzzy carbon emission value of the specific group, and then obtain the benchmark interval number; Using the fuzzy interval comparison method, the ranking of the carbon emissions of individuals in a specific group on the same time scale is obtained.

[0026] Specifically, the fuzzy interval comparison method is:

[0027] Get the reference interval number {circumflex over (X)}.sub.0=[x, x], and the midpoint of the interval is Mid({circumflex over (X)}.sub.0)=(x+x)/2, the radius of the interval r0=(x−x)/2. Then for the multiple fuzzy interval values (i=1, 2, . . . , m) to be compared for a specific group, obtain the midpoint of the intervals Mid({circumflex over (X)}.sub.i) and the radius ri=Rad({circumflex over (X)}.sub.i), and obtain di=Mid({circumflex over (X)}.sub.0)−Mid({circumflex over (X)}.sub.i), and use the following formula to obtain a credibility measure ρ(d.sub.i) for which the fuzzy interval value of individual carbon emission to be compared is less than the reference interval number. The greater the credibility measure, the less the individual's carbon emission:

[00002] $ρ (d_{i}) = {\begin{matrix} \frac{d_{i} + r_{0} + r_{i}}{r_{0}} & d_{i} < - (r_{0} + r_{i}) \\ \frac{1}{2} {(\frac{d_{i} + r_{0} + r_{i}}{r_{0} + r_{i}})}^{2} & - (r_{0} + r_{i}) \leq d_{i} < 0 \\ 0.5 & d_{i} = 0 \\ 1 - \frac{1}{2} {(\frac{r_{0} + r_{i} - d_{i}}{r_{0} + r_{i}})}^{2} & 0 < d_{i} \leq r_{0} + r_{i} \\ \frac{d_{i}}{r_{0}} & d_{i} > r_{0} + r_{i} \end{matrix},$

[0028] It should be noted that the carbon emission coefficient (unit carbon emission) corresponding to each behavior of personal clothing, food, housing, transportation is known, as shown in Table 1:

[0031] 2. Personal life carbon emissions estimation. Fuzzy interval processing is performed on the collected food, clothing, housing, and transportation data, and the carbon emissions corresponding to each behavior expressed by the fuzzy interval number are calculated according to the carbon emission coefficient of each behavior.

[0032] Fuzzy number is a fuzzy set on a given universe U, which means that for any x∈U, there is a number μ(x)∈[0, 1] corresponding to it, and μ(x) is called the membership degree of x to U, μ is called the membership function of x. Fuzzy numbers are usually divided into triangular fuzzy numbers and trapezoidal fuzzy numbers; taking triangular fuzzy numbers as an example, FIG. 2 shows a triangular fuzzy number {tilde over (B)}=(x,α,β).

[0033] Here, the meaning of (x, α, β) is that the value of the data is in the interval [x−α,x+β], and the membership function taking the value of x is expressed by the following formula:

[00003] $μ (x) = {\begin{matrix} 1 - \frac{(x_{0} - x)}{α} & x - α \leq x < x_{0} \\ 1 & x = x_{0} \\ 1 - \frac{(x - x_{0})}{β} & x_{0} < x \leq x_{0} + β \end{matrix},$

[0034] For the collected data of clothing, food, housing, transportation, “near the value x” and “approximately the value x” can be described by the triangular fuzzy interval number for fuzzy interval processing; the triangular fuzzy number can be approximated by the interval [x0−α,x0+β], here α and β can be selected according to actual behaviors of different empirical values, such as 0.5×x0 or 0.2×x0, etc.; for example, the water for washing and brushing teeth is about 0.1 L, which is represented by (0.1, 0.05, 0.05) L, where α and β is taken as 0.5×x0; driving for about 0.5 h, expressed by (0.5, 0.1, 0.1) L, where α and β are taken as 0.2×x0; for known accurate values, α and β are taken as 0, such as taking an elevator up to the 19th floor, denoted by (19, 0, 0); thus get the fuzzy interval processing results as shown in Table 3:

TABLE-US-00003 TABLE 3 fuzzy interval processing results of daily life data being collected of one person in one day Time interval Living behavior 6-7 Wash one's face and teeth with water (0.1, 0.05, 0.05) L; energy-saving lamps are turned on for (1, 0.5, 0.5) h, natural gas consumption for breakfast is (0.1, 0.05, 0.05) m.sup.3, electric kettle with 1 kW power is used to boil water for (0.05, 0.01, 0.01) h 7-8 The air conditioner at home has kept working for (13, 1, 1) h; drive a car for (0.5, 0.1, 0.1) h 8-9 Take the elevator to the office up (19, 0, 0) floors 9-10 / 10-11 / 11-12 Dispose of garbage (1, 0.5, 0.5) kg 12-13 Eat (300, 100, 100) g of rice for lunch; eat(200, 50, 50) g meat; eat (500, 100, 100) g of fruits and vegetables 13-14 / 14-15 / 15-16 / 16-17 The desktop computer has kept working for (8, 0.5, 0.5) h; the office air conditioner has kept working for(8, 0.5, 0.5) h 17-18 Take the elevator down (19, 0, 0) floors; dive a car for (0.5, 0.1, 0.1) h to go back home 18-19 Watch TV (1.0.2, 0.2) h 20-21 Turn on the laptop and work for (1, 0, 0) h 21-22 Continue to work with the laptop for (1, 0.1, 0.2) h 22-23 Take a hot bath (1, 0, 0) times, wash one's face and teeth with about (0.1, 0.05, 0.05) L of water 23-5 / 5-6 Get up early to use the toilet with about (6, 2, 2) L water

[0035] According to the carbon emission coefficient of each behavior as shown in Table 1, the corresponding carbon emission of each behavior expressed by fuzzy interval numbers is calculated, and the calculation results are shown in Table 4:

[0036] The multiplication rule of fuzzy interval number and real number is used here: for triangular fuzzy interval number (x0,α,β) there is (x0,α,β)*λ=(x0λ,α*λ, β*λ).

TABLE-US-00004 TABLE 4 personal daily life carbon emission estimation of one person in one day Time interval Carbon emission estimation 6-7 Wash one's face and teeth: (0.1, 0.05, 0.05) L*0.194 kg/1000 L = (1.94*10.sup.−5, 9.7*10.sup.−6, 9.7*10.sup.−6) kg; turn on the energy-saving lamps: (1, 0.5, 0.5) h*0.011 kg/h = (0.011, 0.0055, 0.0055) kg; natural gas consumption for breakfast: (0.1, 0.05, 0.05) m.sup.3*2.17 kg/m.sup.3 = (0.217, 0.1085, 0.1085) kg; electric kettle with 1 kW power is used to boil water: (0.05, 0.01, 0.01) h*0.997 kg/kWh = (0.04985, 0.00997, 0.00997) kg 7-8 The air conditioner at home: 1.2 kW*(13, 1, 1) h*0.997 kg/kWh = (15.5532, 1.1964, 1.1964) kg; drive a car for work: (0.5, 0.1, 0.1) h*40 km/h*0.22 kg/km = (4.4, 0.88, 0.88) kg 8-9 Take the elevator to the office at 19.sup.th floor: (19, 0, 0)*0.218 kg/floor = (4.142, 0, 0) kg 9-11 / 11-12 Dispose of garbage: (1, 0.5, 0.5) kg*2.06 kg/kg = (2.06, 1.03, 1.03) kg 12-13 Eat rice: (300, 100, 100) g/1000*0.8 kg/kg = (0.024, 0.008, 0.008); eat meat: (200, 50, 50) g/1000*1.24 kg/kg = (0.0248, 0.0062, 0.0062) kg; eat fruits and vegetables: (500, 100, 100) g/1000*0.138 kg/kg = (0.069, 0.0138, 0.0138) kg 13-16 / 16-17 The desktop computer: (8, 0.5, 0.5) h*0.013 kg/h = (0.0104, 0.0065, 0.0065) kg; the office air conditioner in office: (8, 0.5, 0.5) h*1.2 kW*0.997 kg/kWh = (9.5712, 0.5982, 0.5982) kg 17-18 Take the elevator down 19 floors: (19, 0, 0)*0.218 kg/floor = (4.142, 0, 0) kg; drive a car back home: (0.5, 0.1, 0.1) h*40 km/h*0.22 kg/km = (4.4, 0.88, 0.88) kg 18-19 Watch TV: (1, 0.2, 0.2) h*0.096 kg/h = (0.096, 0.0192, 0.0192) kg 20-21 Use the laptop: (1, 0, 0) h*0.013 kg/h = (0.013, 0, 0) kg 21-22 Use the laptop: (1, 0.1, 0.2) h*0.013 kg/h = (0.013, 0.0013, 0.0026) kg 22-23 Take a hot bath: (1, 0, 0) time*0.42 kg/time = (0.42, 0, 0); wash one's face and teeth: (0.1, 0.05, 0.05) L*0.194 kg/1000 L = (1.94*10.sup.−5, 9.7*10.sup.−6, 9.7*10.sup.−6) kg 23-5 / 5-6 Get up early to use the toilet: (6, 2, 2) L*0.194 kg/1000 L = (1.164, 0.388, 0.388) kg

[0037] 3. Using fuzzy interval number addition, add the carbon emissions corresponding to each behavior of a person in a day to get the total carbon emissions of the day.

[0038] The addition rule of fuzzy interval numbers is used here:

[0039] For two triangular fuzzy interval numbers {tilde over (X)}.sub.1=(x1,α1,β1) and {tilde over (X)}.sub.2=(x2,α2,β2),

{tilde over (X)}.sub.1+{tilde over (X)}.sub.2=(x1+x2, α1+α2, β1+β2),

[0040] In this numerical example, the result of adding up the carbon emissions corresponding to each behavior of a person in a day in Table 4 is approximately (46.38, 5.15, 5.15) kg.

[0041] Add a person's daily carbon emissions in a week to get the fuzzy interval value of their total weekly carbon emissions; and add a person's daily carbon emissions in a month to get the fuzzy interval value of their monthly carbon emissions. According to the above steps, get the fuzzy interval value of daily, weekly, and annual carbon emissions of each person in the community as the number of intervals to be compared, and divide by the number of people to be compared in the community to obtain the fuzzy average carbon emission, (xm,αm,βm), and then get the reference interval number [xm−αm, xm+βm]. Assuming that the fuzzy carbon emissions of three persons A, B, and C on a certain day are (46.38, 5.15, 5.15) kg, (44.02, 4.95, 4.95) kg and (44.60, 4.90, 4.90) kg, respectively, then the three persons' mean value of fuzzy carbon emission is (45.0, 5.0, 5.0) kg, so the interval [40.0, 50.0] kg is taken as the reference interval number {circumflex over (X)}.sub.0, Mid({circumflex over (X)}.sub.0)=45.0 kg, r0=Rad({circumflex over (X)}.sub.0)=5.0 kg. Use the fuzzy interval size comparison method, the carbon emission intervals corresponding to A, B, and C are respectively =[41.23,51.53] kg, =[39.07,48.97] kg, =[39.70,49.50] kg, and the midpoint and radius are Mid({circumflex over (X)}.sub.A)=46.38 kg, Rad({circumflex over (X)}.sub.A)=5.15 kg, Mid({circumflex over (X)}.sub.B)=44.02 kg, Rad({circumflex over (X)}.sub.B)=4.95 kg, Mid({circumflex over (X)}.sub.C)=44.6 kg, Rad({circumflex over (X)}.sub.C)=4.90 kg, respectively, and then get

dA=Mid({circumflex over (X)}.sub.0)−Mid({circumflex over (X)}.sub.A)=45.0−46.38=−1.38 (kg),

dB=Mid({circumflex over (X)}.sub.0)−Mid({circumflex over (X)}.sub.B)=45.0−44.02=0.98 (kg),

dC=Mid({circumflex over (X)}.sub.0)−Mid({circumflex over (X)}.sub.C)=45.0−44.60=0.40 (kg),

[0042] Substitute the credibility measurement expression:

[00004] $ρ (d_{i}) = {\begin{matrix} \frac{d_{i} + r_{0} + r_{i}}{r_{0}} & d_{i} < - (r_{0} + r_{i}) \\ \frac{1}{2} {(\frac{d_{i} + r_{0} + r_{i}}{r_{0} + r_{i}})}^{2} & - (r_{0} + r_{i}) \leq d_{i} < 0 \\ 0.5 & d_{i} = 0 \\ 1 - \frac{1}{2} {(\frac{r_{0} + r_{i} - d_{i}}{r_{0} + r_{i}})}^{2} & 0 < d_{i} \leq r_{0} + r_{i} \\ \frac{d_{i}}{r_{0}} & d_{i} > r_{0} + r_{i} \end{matrix},$

[0043] Obtain the confidence degree that the carbon emission intervals corresponding to the three persons A, B, and C are less than the reference carbon emission interval number: ρ(dA)≈0.373, ρ(dB)≈0.594, ρ(dC)≈0.540.

[0044] It can be seen that ρ(dB)>ρ(dC)>ρ(dA), from which the daily carbon emissions of A, B, and C are ranked from small to large, so that it is concluded that among the three persons, B's lifestyle is lower carbon.

[0045] In the same way, compare an individual's carbon emissions in a week or a month with a weekly or monthly benchmark interval number. According to the comparison results, the individual's weekly or monthly carbon emissions can be ranked from small to large.

[0046] This invention uses the living carbon emission data information of 120 volunteers in a community to carry out an example analysis, and the estimated result is consistent with the actual situation. The result of carbon emission ranking by this method effectively considers the uncertainty, and the practice proves that the estimation and the ranking result is recognized by people, and it has a good role in guiding people to analyze personal carbon emission behavior and develop low-carbon and environmentally friendly living habits.

[0047] Finally, it should be pointed out that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, but not to limit them. Although this invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalently replace some of the technical features; and these modification or replacement does not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this invention.
