[0002] Electricity, water, gas and heat are essential public services in people's daily lives. With the progress of society and the development of cities, the size of residential areas is expanding, and the reading of the four meters has become an increasingly large task. Judging from the current reading of each meter, there are problems of heavy workload and high cost, which is not conducive to building a conservation-oriented society.
[0003] Although some methods have been adopted to achieve the integration of four meters in one at this stage, the integration of four meters in one has only been achieved at the service terminal.

[0044] A method for using an integrated measuring instrument in an embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention comprises the following steps:
[0045] Obtain user data, including electricity consumption data, gas data, water consumption data, and heating usage data;
[0046] The data processing unit 1 is used to process the electricity consumption data, gas data, water consumption data and heating usage data to obtain the fee data and feed it back to the client. The user monitors the fee data in real time and makes fee adjustments or payment processing according to the fee data.
[0047] In the above embodiment, it should be noted that the method for obtaining user data is to use the first sensor 4, i.e., a gas flow sensor, the second sensor 5, i.e., a flow sensor, the third sensor 6, i.e., a flow temperature sensor, and the fourth sensor 7, i.e., a current and voltage sensor, to respectively detect the gas flow from the gas source, the water flow from the water source, the heating usage of the thermal source, and the power usage of the power source, and then use the first sensor 4, i.e., a gas flow sensor, the second sensor 5, i.e., a flow sensor, the third sensor 6, i.e., a flow temperature sensor, and the fourth sensor 7, i.e., a current and voltage sensor, to convert the gas flow, water flow, heating usage, and power usage into corresponding electrical signals and transmit them to the data processing unit 1.
[0048] The expense data includes electricity charges, electricity charge remaining balance, gas charges, gas charge remaining balance, water charges, water charge remaining balance, heating charges, heating charge remaining balance and account balance;
[0049] When the account balance is insufficient, the user will be prompted with "Insufficient Account Balance" and the user will make the payment and set the balance.
[0050] When the account balance is sufficient, the user can adjust the fees or make individual payments.
[0051] Fee adjustment includes adjusting the fees for the sufficient part of the quota to the insufficient part of the quota.
[0052] In the above optional embodiments, it should be noted that when paying, the user can independently choose whether to allow the system to automatically allocate when a certain fee amount is insufficient. If no is selected, when a certain fee amount is insufficient and no payment is made within 10 hours, the server will terminate the supply process; if yes is selected, when the account balance is sufficient, if the user neither adjusts the fee nor makes a single payment within ten hours, the server can automatically allocate the amount according to the actual situation, that is, automatically adjust the fee. The method of automatically adjusting the fee is as follows:
[0053] Adjust according to the first adjustment dimension, the second adjustment dimension, the third adjustment dimension, and the fourth dimension:
[0054] The first adjustment dimension is to adjust according to the client's, i.e., the user's, electricity balance, gas balance, heating balance, and water balance.
[0055] The second adjustment dimension is to adjust according to the previous usage of the client, i.e. the user's electricity, gas, heating and water charges in a month;
[0056] The third adjustment dimension is to adjust according to the previous settings of the client, that is, the electricity quota, gas fee quota, heating fee quota and water fee quota set by the user when paying the fee;
[0057] The fourth dimension is that when a certain expense is used up to zero within a month, if the expense amount of another expense is insufficient, the expense will be automatically adjusted to zero within the month.
[0058] The specific judgment method is as follows:
[0059] When the server recognizes that a certain fee is insufficient, it directly enters the fourth adjustment dimension to determine whether the user has used 0 fees for the other three fees within a month. When the user's fee usage is 0 within a month, the remaining amount will be adjusted to the insufficient fee for use.
[0060] If the user does not have a certain expense usage of 0 within a month, the server will first determine the first adjustment dimension and determine the other three expense balances;
[0061] If the balances of the other three charges are large, the second adjustment dimension will be entered. If the user uses a lot of the other three charges within a month, the third adjustment dimension will be entered. According to the proportions of the electricity, gas, heating and water quotas set by the user when paying the fees, part of the other three charges will be adjusted to the insufficient part of the fees. The adjusted electricity quota, gas quota, heating quota and ratio will be equal to the proportions of the electricity quota, gas quota, heating quota and water quota set by the user when paying the fees.
[0062] If a user uses less of two kinds of fees and more of one kind of fee in a month, the two kinds of fees used less and the fees with insufficient quota set by the user in the third adjustment dimension will be adjusted proportionally. After the adjustment, the three fee ratios will be equal to the fee ratios set by the user when paying.
[0063] If a user uses less of one fee in a month and more of the other two fees, the fee used less will be adjusted to the part of the fee that is insufficient.
[0064] If the balances of two types of fees are both large and one type is small, only the fees with the larger balance will be adjusted to the fees with insufficient balance. The specific adjustment amount will be adjusted according to the fee setting of the second dimension. If the usage of one fee in the second dimension is small and the other fee is large, the fees with smaller usage will be adjusted to the fees with insufficient balance. If the usage of both fees is large, the third adjustment dimension will be entered. According to the proportion of the fee amounts set by the user in the third adjustment dimension, the proportion of the three fee amounts (excluding the fees with smaller balance) after adjustment will be equal to the proportion set by the user when paying.
[0065] If the balance of one fee is larger and the other two fees are smaller, you can directly adjust the part of the fee with the larger balance to the fee with insufficient balance.
[0066] If the balances of all three charges are small, the third adjustment dimension will be entered directly. According to the proportions of the electricity, gas, heating and water charges set by the user when paying the fees, part of the balance of the three charges will be adjusted to the insufficient part. The adjusted electricity, gas, heating and water charges will be equal to the proportions of the electricity, gas, heating and water charges set by the user when paying the fees.
[0067] Take the case where the user's electricity bill is insufficient as an example:
[0068] The server first determines the first adjustment dimension, determining the gas fee balance, heating fee balance, and water fee balance;
[0069] If the remaining balance of gas fees, heating fees and water fees are all large, the second adjustment dimension will be entered. If the user's gas fees, heating fees and water fees are all large in a month, the third adjustment dimension will be entered. According to the proportions of the electricity fee quota, gas fee quota, heating fee quota and water fee quota set by the user when paying the fees, part of the gas fee, part of the heating fee and part of the water fee will be adjusted to the electricity fee part. The adjusted electricity fee quota, gas fee quota, heating fee quota and proportion are equal to the proportions of the electricity fee quota, gas fee quota, heating fee quota and water fee quota set by the user when paying the fees.
[0070] If a user uses less gas and heating fees but more water fees in a month, part of the gas and heating fees will be adjusted to the electricity fee part in proportion to the electricity quota, gas quota and heating quota set by the user in the third adjustment dimension. The adjusted electricity quota, gas quota and heating quota ratio will be equal to the electricity quota, gas quota and heating quota ratio set by the user when paying the bill.
[0071] If a user uses less gas and pays more for heating and water in a month, part of the gas bill will be adjusted to electricity bill.
[0072] If the balance of gas fees and heating fees are both large, and the balance of water fees is small, only part of the gas fees and part of the heating fees will be adjusted to the electricity fees. The specific adjustment amount will be adjusted according to the gas fees and heating fees in the second dimension. If the gas fees in the second dimension are small and the heating fees are large, part of the gas fees will be adjusted to the electricity fees. If the gas fees and heating fees in the second dimension are both large, enter the third adjustment dimension and adjust part of the gas fees and heating fees to the electricity fees in proportion to the electricity quota, gas fee quota and heating fee quota set by the user in the third adjustment dimension. The ratio of the adjusted electricity quota, gas fee quota and heating fee quota is equal to the ratio of the electricity quota, gas fee quota and heating fee quota set by the user when paying.
[0073] If the balance of gas bill is large, and the balance of heating bill and water bill are small, you can directly adjust part of the gas bill to electricity bill.
[0074] If the remaining balances of gas, heating and water charges are all small, the third adjustment dimension will be entered directly. Part of the gas, heating and water charges will be adjusted to the electricity charge part according to the proportions of the electricity, gas, heating and water charges set by the user when paying the fees. The adjusted electricity quota, gas quota, heating quota and proportions will be equal to the proportions of the electricity, gas quota, heating quota and water charges set by the user when paying the fees.
[0075] When the user's gas usage fee is 0 within a month, even if the remaining gas fee is small, but the remaining heating fee and water fee are large, the gas fee will be fully adjusted to the electricity fee for use.
[0076] The method for obtaining cost data by processing electricity consumption data, gas consumption data, water consumption data and heating usage data using the data processing unit 1 comprises the following steps:
[0077] Convert current and voltage electrical signals into digital signals, calculate the power consumption according to the digital signals and preset power parameters such as voltage, current, power factor, etc., calculate the electricity fee according to the power consumption and the unit price of electricity, and calculate the remaining amount of electricity according to the preset power consumption quota;
[0078] The gas electrical signal is converted into a digital signal, and filtered and calibrated. The gas usage is calculated based on the converted digital signal and the preset gas parameters. The gas fee is calculated based on the gas usage and the unit price of the gas fee. The remaining gas amount is calculated based on the preset gas usage amount.
[0079] Convert the water flow electrical signal into a digital signal, calculate the water consumption according to the converted digital signal and the preset water flow parameters, calculate the water fee according to the water consumption and the water fee unit price, and calculate the remaining water amount according to the preset water use quota;
[0080] Convert the temperature electrical signal into a digital signal, calculate the heating usage according to the change of the digital signal and the preset heat calculation formula, calculate the heating fee according to the heating usage and the heating fee unit price, and calculate the remaining heating quota according to the preset heating quota;
[0081] Calculate your total expenses and account balance based on your electricity, gas, water and heating bills.
[0082] The user can also directly adjust the cost of a certain remaining amount to the remaining amount of other parts according to their actual situation, or choose to adjust the entire remaining amount of a certain remaining amount to the remaining amount of other parts so that the remaining balance of this part is 0. When the user chooses to adjust the entire remaining amount of a certain remaining amount to the remaining amount of other parts, the server will choose to directly cut off the supply of the corresponding part; for example, the user adjusts the entire remaining amount of electricity to the heating fee, water fee or gas fee from the client, at this time, the server will immediately cut off the power supply to the client user, which is undoubtedly convenient for the user. When a user is away for a long time and forgets to turn off the air conditioner and other electrical appliances at home, in order to avoid wasting money, the user can directly choose to adjust the remaining electricity bill to the heating fee, water fee or gas fee, thereby achieving the effect of remote power off, reducing the user's waste of money while avoiding energy waste; when the user is away from home and finds that he forgot to turn off the faucet, he can also choose to adjust the remaining water bill to the electricity fee, gas fee or heating fee, and the server will immediately cut off the water supply to the client, which avoids the waste of water resources and also avoids the situation where too much water will flood the user's home. Similarly, gas and heating can also be cut off in this way.
[0083] The beneficial effects of the above optional embodiments are: by processing electricity data, gas data, water consumption data and heating usage data and feeding back to the client setting, the user can pay the total fee at one time and allocate the fee amounts for each item, which increases the convenience of the user while providing greater convenience for the use of the service terminal; by allowing the user to independently choose whether to allow the system to automatically allocate when a certain fee amount is insufficient, the user can adjust the fees according to their actual situation. For example, if the user forgets to turn off the air conditioner when going out, if the user sets the system not to allow automatic allocation when the electricity fee is insufficient, the waste of electricity due to forgetting to turn off the air conditioner when going out for a few days or a month can be avoided.
[0084] Through the coordinated settings of the first adjustment dimension, the second adjustment dimension, the third adjustment dimension and the fourth dimension, the client's remaining electricity fee, gas fee, water fee and heating fee can be adjusted to the maximum extent, thereby achieving a reasonable allocation of various fees, ensuring the timely replenishment of users' electricity, gas, heating and water, and enhancing user experience.
[0085] Single payment processing includes payment of electricity bills, water bills, gas bills or heating bills.
[0086] When the account balance is less than 10 hours, the server will cut off the water, electricity and gas. When the user pays the fee and sets the limit, the server obtains the account balance and the set limit and feeds it back to the data processing unit 1.
[0087] The user side checks the fee usage and payment method according to the electronic display screen, logs into the account, checks the account balance, when the account balance is 0, the user can pay directly, when the account balance is not 0, check whether the remaining amount of electricity bill, gas bill, water bill and heating bill is 0, when one of the remaining amount of electricity bill, gas bill, water bill or heating bill is 0, the user can choose to set the amount or make a single payment, after the amount setting is completed or the single payment is completed, you can log out of the account and the payment is completed; when the remaining amount of electricity bill, gas bill, water bill and heating bill are not 0, you can choose to pay or log out of the account directly.
[0088] The detection and prompting method on the server side is that the server side obtains user data from the data processing unit 1. If the user's account balance is 0, the user is prompted to pay the bill because the balance is insufficient. If the user's account balance is not 0, the remaining amount of electricity, gas, water or heating is checked. If one of the remaining amount of electricity, gas, water or heating is 0, the user is prompted that the remaining amount of electricity, gas, water or heating is less than 0 and the user is prompted to reset the amount. If the remaining amount of electricity, gas, water or heating is not 0, the water, electricity, gas and heating are supplied normally.
[0089] This application provides great convenience for users to pay gas, heating, water and electricity bills through the coordinated configuration of the client, data processing unit 1 and the server, saves the use of signal communication components and power supply components, reduces the total cost, simplifies the installation, and reduces the construction workload. At the same time, service terminal personnel can also remind users to pay and adjust the fee amount, etc., which increases the convenience of operation.
[0090] The present invention allows the user to directly pay for water, electricity, heating and gas at one time and allocate quotas. When the balance of any one of the water, electricity, heating and gas is insufficient, the remaining amount of any one or more of the other three parts can be automatically adjusted to the part with insufficient balance. The user can also set the remaining amount of any one of the separate water, electricity, gas or heating fees to be adjusted to the other parts to realize the supply interruption processing of several parts in one, thereby avoiding the loss of users' money to the greatest extent, increasing users' convenience, and saving energy waste. In addition, since the invention only adopts the method of interaction between the client, the data processing unit 1 and the server, it avoids the situation where the four tables interact and communicate separately in the past, saving time and reducing costs, and reducing the workload of construction.
[0091] In addition, it should be noted that the data processing unit 1 is responsible for performing various data processing tasks in the prior art, including data input, processing, storage and output. It is the core component for processing data in a computer system, and can receive data from input devices (such as keyboards, mice, sensors, etc.) and convert them into a format recognizable by a computer. Subsequently, the data processing unit performs various arithmetic and logical operations, including addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, comparison, logical operations, etc., and stores the processed data in a memory or other storage device for subsequent use. Finally, it sends the processed data to an output device (such as a display, printer, storage device, etc.) for user viewing or further processing.
[0092] A server is a server in the prior art. It provides computing power in a network environment and is responsible for storing and processing data and information on the network. It plays a pivotal role in the network. It usually has the functions of responding to service requests, starting corresponding services, processing data requests, storing, managing, protecting and sending data. The structure of a server is basically similar to that of a general PC, but the server has higher requirements in terms of stability, security, performance, etc., because the server is a computer device that runs for a long time in the network and continuously provides services to users.
[0093] The hardware structure of a server usually includes a processor (CPU), memory, chipset, I / O bus, I / O devices, power supply, chassis and related software. These components work together to enable the server to efficiently process various network requests and data. Among them, the processor is the core component of the server, responsible for performing various arithmetic and logical operations; the memory is used to temporarily store data and instructions for the processor to quickly access; the chipset is responsible for connecting and managing various components inside the server.
[0094] In addition, the server needs to run the corresponding operating system and application software to provide specific network services or applications. These software are usually installed on the server's hard disk or solid-state drive and communicate with the external network through the network interface card (NIC).
[0095] Although the present invention has been described in detail above by general description and specific embodiments, it is obvious to those skilled in the art that some modifications or improvements can be made to the present invention. Therefore, these modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit of the present invention all belong to the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
[0096] The terms such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "middle", etc. cited in this specification are only for the convenience of description and are not intended to limit the scope of implementation of the present invention.
