Abstract

The present invention discloses a meter reading method and a system, belonging to the technical field of smart meters. The method includes: obtaining the information of the image on a meter display; decoding and analyzing the image information to obtain the corresponding current numerical information; comparing the current numerical information with the previous numerical information to obtain the current meter reading value; checking whether the NB-IOT communication is available or not; and when the NB-IOT communication is detected, sending the current meter reading value to a server and / or a terminal via the NB-IOT communication. According to the present invention, through the obtaining and analyzing of the meter image information, the obtained current meter reading value is sent to a server and / or a terminal via the NB-IOT communication, making the meter a truly intelligent and bringing convenience to users or suppliers so they could know about the using condition of the electricity, water and gas on one hand, and realizing the technical effects of a low cost and low energy consumption.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of smart meters, in particular to a meter reading method and system. Background technique [0002] In the prior art, gas meters, electric meters, water meters, etc. are generally placed in family kitchens, or users recharge IC cards. The meter reader visits the door once a month to read the meter, and the meter reader checks the meter at the household and calculates the bill, and then the toll collector collects the charge at the household or sends the bill to the user for settlement through the bank. The current remote meter reading model represented by smart gas meters can basically solve the problems faced by manual meter reading, but the huge one-time transformation investment and subsequent maintenance investment seriously hinder its promotion and popularization. The gas, electricity meter, water meter and gas meter reading, electricity meter reading, water meter reading markets urgently need a product...
