Abstract

Disclosed are a power consumption management method for electric devices, a manager and a management system. The power consumption management method may include: acquiring identification information of an electric device in a power-on state in a monitoring area (S101); collecting information of the monitoring area, and determining whether a user exists in the monitoring area or not according to a collection result (S102); when the user does not exist in the monitoring area, determining a type set to which the identification information belongs (S103); when determining that the identification information is comprised in a first type set, powering off the electric device (S104); and when determining that the identification information is comprised in a second type set, beginning timekeeping, and when a timekeeping duration reaches to a preset duration matched with the identification information, powering off the electric device (S105). Therefore, the energy waste due to the fact that a user forgets to turn off an electric device when leaving the monitoring area may be prevented.
