Description

[0002] After the IoT gas meter data is reported, the settlement system will settle the data. However, there are some problems with the current settlement system. Because some systems were developed earlier, or the gas meter types involved are relatively small, and the price types used are relatively small, they are often only settled for the meter type of a single manufacturer, and the price types are only a single price and a common tiered price, which cannot meet the population tiered price and monthly average price. When multiple gas meter types are connected, the existing settlement method often cannot meet actual needs.

[0003] To solve this problem, one solution is to write a settlement solution for each gas meter type. Although this solution can support multiple gas meter types, if settlement logic needs to be added or modified later, the development and testing costs will be very high, and it does not have the ability to quickly access.

[0004] Therefore, on the one hand, the gas industry has formulated a variety of pricing strategies for different groups of people, including single price, tiered price, monthly average price, and population tiered price, which has made the price algorithm complicated. The existing settlement system cannot meet the settlement needs of multiple price algorithms.

[0005] On the other hand, gas companies usually need to purchase gas meters from multiple manufacturers. Each manufacturer has a variety of gas meter types, and the prices and settlement plans used are also different. The existing settlement plans are not universal, which makes it cumbersome to connect to the meter type and there is a possibility of settlement errors. Summary of the invention

[0038] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the technical terms or scientific terms used in this application should have the common meanings understood by technicians in the field to which this application belongs.

[0039] In addition, the terms "first" and "second" etc. are used to distinguish different objects, rather than to describe a specific order. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, product or device that includes a series of steps or units is not limited to the listed steps or units, but may optionally include steps or units that are not listed, or may optionally include other steps or units that are inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0040] The embodiments of the present application provide an Internet of Things gas meter settlement method and device, an electronic device, and a computer-readable medium, which are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 1 , which shows a flow chart of an Internet of Things gas meter settlement method provided by some embodiments of the present application. As shown in the figure, the Internet of Things gas meter settlement method may include the following steps:

[0042] S101. Obtain gas usage data reported by an IoT gas meter, and determine the meter type of the IoT gas meter.

[0043] The executor of this embodiment may be a settlement system, which may be an IoT central server, and the IoT gas meter reports the gas usage data to the settlement system for settlement.

[0044] Among them, the gas consumption data reported by the IoT gas meter includes the meter reading time and the meter base number, and the meter base number is the total gas consumption displayed on the gas meter.

[0045] Among them, the meter type of the Internet of Things gas meter can refer to various models of the Internet of Things gas meter, such as model 1, model 2, model 3, etc.

[0046] S102: Determine the settlement type corresponding to the IoT gas meter according to the meter type and a preset association data table of the meter type and the settlement type.

[0047] In this application, all IoT gas meters are classified according to the settlement type. Specifically, the settlement types of IoT gas meters may include: meter-side billing, central billing, mixed billing, and no billing. The mixed billing refers to the mixed billing of the meter-side billing and the central billing. Each settlement type has a corresponding settlement plan.

[0048] Meter-side billing refers to direct settlement at the IoT gas meter. The gas usage data reported by the IoT gas meter to the settlement system can be the settlement details. Central billing refers to settlement at the settlement system end. The settlement process is described later. Hybrid billing means that the IoT gas meter can support both meter-side billing and central billing. No billing means that the IoT gas meter does not need to be settled.

[0049] In this embodiment, the preset association data table of meter type and settlement type records the correspondence between the meter type and settlement type of the Internet of Things gas meter. Specifically, all models of Internet of Things gas meters of all manufacturers can be collected, such as model 1, model 2, model 3, etc., and then all the collected models of Internet of Things gas meters are classified into four settlement types: meter-end billing, center billing, mixed billing, and no billing. The correspondence between the meter type and the settlement type of the Internet of Things gas meter is established, thereby obtaining an association data table of the meter type and the settlement type of the Internet of Things gas meter. For example, model 1 corresponds to center billing, model 2 corresponds to meter-end billing, model 3 corresponds to mixed billing, etc. According to the above association data table, it can be determined that the settlement type of the Internet of Things gas meter is meter-end billing, center billing, mixed billing, or no billing. The above association data table can be updated regularly, and the above association data table can also be updated after a new model of Internet of Things gas meter is collected.

[0050] S103: Settle the gas usage data reported by the IoT gas meter according to the settlement plan corresponding to the settlement type.

[0051] When the settlement type of the IoT gas meter is central billing, step S103 can be implemented as follows: determining the price type actually used for gas settlement and its corresponding price algorithm; settling the gas usage data reported by the IoT gas meter according to the price type and its corresponding price algorithm, and recording the settlement results and updating the file information.

[0052] The price type includes at least one of the following: single price, tiered price, monthly average price and population tiered price. It can be seen that the present application has the characteristics of supporting multiple price algorithms and fast access table types.

[0053] 1. The settlement plan for center billing is as follows:

[0054] 1.1: The actual price in use is obtained according to the effective time of price exchange and price adjustment, which is P, among which the single price is PS, the population base is PB, the population increment is PC, the step price is PP, and the step gas volume is PL. Both the step price PP and the step gas volume PL are multi-step.

[0055] 1.2: According to the price type, enter different price algorithms, input the gas meter gas consumption as X, the gas balance of each stage of the meter as Y, the population as PN, and return the gas consumption amount as Z.

[0056] Single price: Z = X*PS;

[0057] Tiered price: Calculate the gas consumption X1, X2...Xn of different tiers according to the gas surplus Y of each tier and the tiered gas volume PL, and then obtain the price P of different tiers PP1, PP2...PPn. Z = X1*PP1+X2*PP2+Xn*PPn;

[0058] Monthly average price: If the price is changed to monthly average price, the gas balance Y of each level needs to be recalculated, and the current month is M, Y = (M / 12) * Y (except for the last level, the balance needs to be reduced), and then the gas consumption X1, X2...Xn of different levels is calculated according to the gas balance Y of each level and the level gas volume PL, and then the price PP1, PP2...PPn of different levels of price P is obtained. Z = X1*PP1+X2*PP2+Xn*PPn;

[0059] Population ladder price: If there is a price that is changed to a population ladder price, it is necessary to recalculate the gas surplus Y of each step, Y = (PN-PB) * PC + Y (except for the last step, the surplus needs to be increased), and then calculate the gas consumption X1, X2...Xn of different steps based on the gas surplus Y of each step and the step gas volume PL, and then obtain the price PP1, PP2...PPn of different steps of price P. Z = X1*PP1+X2*PP2+Xn*PPn.

[0060] 1.3: Update file information and record settlement details.

[0061] When the settlement type of the IoT gas meter is meter-side billing, step S103 can be implemented as follows: performing settlement according to the gas usage amount, gas usage volume and price type in the gas usage data reported by the IoT gas meter, and recording the settlement results and updating the file information.

[0062] 2. The settlement plan for meter-side billing is as follows:

[0063] 2.1: Get the actual price P in use based on the price exchange, price adjustment, and effective time, where the single price is PS and the tiered price is PP.

[0064] 2.2: The gas amount is Z, and the gas volume is X. Take the value reported in the table. If the price is reported, record it directly; if the subscript of the reported price is n, take PS if it is 0; take PPn if it is greater than 0;

[0065] 2.3: Update file information and record settlement details.

[0066] 3. The settlement plan for mixed billing is as follows:

[0067] 3.1: Determine the type of billing based on the reported settlement type;

[0068] 3.2: If it is central billing, follow the logic of 4.1; if it is meter-side billing, follow the logic of 4.2;

[0069] 4. The non-chargeable settlement plan is as follows:

[0070] 4.1: No meter is reported, only the file information is updated.

[0071] When a caller needs to call the settlement result, the settlement system returns the settlement result to the caller.

[0072] In this application, the IoT gas meter settlement scenario includes a wider and more complete range of meter types and price algorithms. When a new meter is connected, there is no need to redevelop and test it, which can save the testing workload of testers, and the results are universal and accurate, thereby achieving rapid access to IoT gas meters at minimal cost.

[0073] In some embodiments, in the above-mentioned Internet of Things gas meter settlement method of the present application, before step S103, it also includes: data cleaning of the gas usage data reported by the Internet of Things gas meter.

[0074] Data cleaning can be used to process abnormal gas consumption data to prevent abnormal settlement. The specific steps are as follows: Figure 2 As shown, including:

[0075] S201. Filter the erroneous data in the gas usage data reported by the IoT gas meter; specifically, filter the erroneous data with a gas usage of FFFF, which proves that the gas usage data for that period of time is erroneous and the specific gas usage cannot be analyzed.

[0076] S202. Determine whether the difference between the current meter base number and the previous meter base number in the gas usage data after filtering out the erroneous data is greater than the abnormal increase benchmark number; if so, no charge is made; specifically, the abnormal increase benchmark number is set to Max, and if the current meter base number - the previous meter base number > Max, it means that the gas usage has increased abnormally, and the process ends. This phenomenon proves that there is a problem with the meter data, which prevents abnormal settlement and overcharges, which may cause disputes.

[0077] S203, determine whether the current meter base number in the gas usage data after filtering the erroneous data is less than the previous meter base number; if so, modify the value of the current meter base number to the value of the previous meter base number. Specifically, if the current meter base number < the previous meter base number, it means that some gas meters may have abnormalities when storing gas usage data, resulting in a smaller reading, and the settlement system repairs the data to make the current meter base number = the previous meter base number.

[0078] In step S103, the cleaned gas usage data is settled to ensure the accuracy of the settlement result, avoid billing disputes, and improve the user experience.

[0079] For ease of understanding, this application also provides Figure 3 A flowchart of a specific Internet of Things gas meter settlement method is shown.

[0080] The above-mentioned Internet of Things gas meter settlement method can be used for a server. In the embodiment of the present application, the server may include hardware or software. When the server includes hardware, it can be various electronic devices with a display screen and supporting information interaction, for example, it can include but is not limited to smart phones, tablet computers, laptops, and desktop computers, etc. When the server includes software, it can be installed in the above-mentioned electronic device, which can be implemented as multiple software or software modules, or as a single software or software module. No specific limitation is made here.
