Abstract

When providing an instrument identification technique, it is possible to improve the calculation speed and the identification accuracy while reducing a necessary memory amount. A gas meter (100) includes an ultrasonic flowmeter (104) which measures a flow rate of a gas flowing in a flow channel (102) at a predetermined time interval and a calculation unit (108) which calculates a difference value between flow rates measured by the calculation unit (108) at a predetermined time interval. According to a flow rate division table (110a) containing a plurality of difference value divisions based on the difference values which are correlated to codes indicating the respective divisions, a difference value conversion unit (112) converts the calculated difference value into a code. Furthermore, according to a set of codes obtained at a predetermined time interval, a flow rate change history generation unit (114) generates a flow rate change history as a dummy expression of a gas flow rate change.

Description

technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to a technique for correctly identifying phenomena by capturing changes in physical quantities such as fluid flow rates. Background technique

[0002] For example, a gas meter has hitherto been available as a device for capturing changes in physical quantities and identifying phenomena. Patent Document 1 describes a gas meter for identifying work implements in a fluid piping system having a gas meter. The gas meter 1 in the document has: a flow measurement unit 3, which is placed in a flow path 6 connected to a domestic gas supply pipe, for measuring the gas flow at given time intervals; a calculation unit 4, which uses and a comparison and determination unit 7 for making a difference between the difference value calculated by the calculation unit 4 and the change determination value registered in the storage unit 5 Compare, and determine the change in the working status of each gas appliance, such as Figure 7 shown.
