Abstract

A system and method for wireless automatic meter reading which can wirelessly and remotely read integrated amounts of consumed electric power, water, gas and the like. An image sensor module (1) is installed in a predetermined portion of an integrating meter for picking up an image of a numeral displayed on a display of the integrating meter and converting the picked-up image into an electrical signal. A main processor unit (7) generates a numeric code corresponding to the numeral image. A radio frequency module (13) transmits the generated numeric code wirelessly to a meter reading center (16).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a wireless automatic meter reading system and method capable of wirelessly and remotely reading the accumulated quantity of consumed electricity, water, gas, etc. Background technique [0002] Usually, in order to notify customers of the cost of water, electricity, and natural gas consumption, a meter reader must physically read the cumulative meter. That is, the meter reader must visually check the figure of a given meter, record the checked value by hand, subtract the previous month's figure from the recorded value, and then, based on the obtained figure and the accumulated quantity-fee table, give the user A billing notice. [0003] The disadvantage of this meter reading method is that it requires a lot of manpower, resulting in a lot of expenditure. Moreover, there may be many problems due to the mistakes of the meter reader, the absence of the owner or the refusal to read the meter. In addition, the meter readin...
