Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, there are still many non-intelligent old-fashioned mechanical meters in many old urban areas, which cannot be read remotely. Replacing smart meters is troublesome and expensive, so the staff need to spend a lot of time to read meters from house to house.
This is very inefficient and error-prone

Embodiment Construction

[0022] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by persons of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts belong to the protection scope of the present invention.

[0023] see figure 1 , figure 1 It is a frame diagram of the remote meter reading system of the present invention, the remote meter reading system 100 includes a dial 1 , a camera 2 , a central processing chip 3 , a transmitter 4 , a server 5 and a display 6 .

[0024] The dial 1 is used to display the information to be read by the meter.

[0025] The camera 2 is installed corresponding to the dial 1, and when meter reading is required, the camera 2 captures the information displayed on the dial 1 and generates a pi...

Abstract

The invention provides a remote meter reading system and method. The system comprises a dial plate which is used for displaying to-be-read information; a photographing device which is used for photographing the information displayed by the dial plate and generating a picture; a central processing chip which is used for analyzing and processing the picture and extracting the information of the image; a transmitter which is used for transmitting the extracted information; and a server which is used for receiving and storing the extracted information. The invention also provides a remote meter reading method. The method comprises the following steps that S1, the photographing device photographs the to-be-read information displayed by the dial plate and generating the picture; S2, the centralprocessing chip analyzes and processes the picture generated by the photographing device and extracts the information of the image; S3, the transmitter transmits the extracted information to the server; and S4, the server receives and stores the extracted information. Compared with the prior art, the system and the method have the advantages that the waste of replacing an intelligent meter can beavoided, the remote meter reading can be carried out, the labor is saved, and the working efficiency is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of meter monitoring, in particular to a remote meter reading system and method. Background technique [0002] The wide application of meters is an important reference data for relevant departments to charge and allocate resources. Every unit or individual needs to install meters to monitor their own usage. [0003] However, there are still many non-intelligent old-fashioned mechanical meters in many old urban areas, which cannot be read remotely. The replacement of smart meters is troublesome and expensive, so the staff need to spend a lot of time to read meters from house to house. This is very inefficient and error-prone. [0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new remote meter reading system and method to solve the above problems. Contents of the invention [0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a remote meter reading system and method, which can realize remote meter readi...
