The granted patent US12072359B2 outlines a wireless power distribution display system that integrates a local gateway and multiple power distribution terminals. These terminals communicate with the gateway using short-distance wireless communication, transmitting terminal identification data that characterizes each terminal's function in the power distribution system. At least one of these terminals is equipped with a display module, which receives and displays terminal identification data from the local gateway, as well as response information and data from other terminals. This system allows for real-time monitoring and identification of each terminal's status, including working conditions and alarms, enhancing the overall management of power distribution.

Additionally, the patent describes a method for operating this wireless power distribution display system. The method involves receiving user control commands at the terminal with the display module, generating command information, and sending it to the local gateway. The gateway processes this command information to identify the target terminal and forwards the command accordingly. The target terminal then generates response data, which is communicated back through the gateway to the display terminal. This two-way communication facilitates efficient control and monitoring of the power distribution system, allowing users to interact with and manage the terminals effectively. The system's design emphasizes the importance of distinguishing between different terminals and providing timely feedback on their operational status.
