A method for obtaining plug combination of detecting apparatus, a method for obtaining power line topology and an electronic apparatus using the same are provided. The method for obtaining plug combination of detecting apparatus includes the following steps: retrieving a first amount of at least one detecting apparatus and a second amount of at least one socket; generating plug combinations between the at least one detecting apparatus and the at least one socket; calculating a total socket relationship value according to the second amount; setting specific plug times and a specific socket relationship value of a specific plug combination according to the first amount; and finding a candidate plug combination among reference plug combinations according to the specific socket relationship value, the total socket relationship value and a distance between the specific plug combination and each of the reference plug combinations.

A power monitoring device for identifying the state of an electric appliance based on user feedbacks and a power monitoring method thereof are provided. The power monitoring device includes a measurement module, a variation detection and search module, and an electric appliance signature database established based on user feedbacks. When the measurement module detects a variation of a power consumption feature, the variation detection and search module searches the electric appliance signature database according to the variation to obtain electric appliances similar to the variation and the states thereof. A user contributes data to the electric appliance signature database by confirming the search result, or selecting the correct electric appliance and the state thereof. When the user confirms the search result, the power monitoring device establishes an association between the electric appliance and its electric appliance signatures and updates the electric appliance signature database.
