Embodiment Construction

[0030] Please refer to FIG. 1A , which discloses a schematic diagram of an embodiment of an automatic meter reading system. This embodiment utilizes a meter reading device 10 to automatically read the degree and / or other data of a meter 20, and then transmits the degree and other data of the meter 20 to a meter 20 through a long-distance wireless transmission network 30. The backend device 40 is used for data management and / or processing. This kind of meter reading system is suitable for environments where there are no other households nearby, such as remote mountainous areas.

[0031] The meter 20 mentioned above may be a gas meter, an electric meter, a water meter or other similar meters. The backend device 40 can be a computer or server, or a backend database platform.

[0032] Please refer to FIG. 1B , which discloses a schematic diagram of another embodiment of the meter reading system. In this embodiment, a plurality of meter reading devices 10 automatically read degr...

Abstract

The invention discloses an independent automatic meter reading device and a meter reading system using the device. The automatic meter reading device comprises a processor which is respectively electrically connected with an image acquisition unit, a short-distance wireless transmitting and receiving module and a remote-distance wireless transmitting and receiving module. After acquiring a degree image, the meter reading device centralizes data through a short-distance wireless transmission network, and transmits the data to a back-end device through a remote-distance wireless transmission network. Moreover, an image identification unit is arranged on the meter reading device or the back-end device and used for executing identification and reading of the data image. Therefore, the automatic meter reading device and the meter reading system using the device can achieve the efficacies of automatically reading the degree data and automatically transmitting the degree data to a remote-end device without the necessity of replacing a meter and an energy pipeline.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a meter reading device of a meter and a meter reading and monitoring system using the device. The meters refer to gas meters, water meters, electricity meters and other similar meters. Background technique [0002] Generally, the consumption of gas, electricity or water can be recorded on a meter, and then the meter is read and billed according to the usage displayed on the meter. Traditionally, it is necessary to manually copy the degrees on the meter. However, the accuracy of meter reading is very important. In the past, manual meter reading is prone to errors or omissions, and manual meter reading requires high manpower. Cost, especially in remote mountainous areas or rural areas, labor costs are greater. In addition, for managers, the manual meter reading method cannot monitor and centrally manage the data in real time. [0003] China Taiwan Patent No. I257462 discloses a "detection and transmission system for gas monito...
