Figure 1 It is a schematic flowchart of a method for replacing an electric meter based on a handheld device provided by an embodiment of the present application, Figure 3 It is a schematic flowchart of the electric meter replacement process provided by an embodiment of the present application. In the embodiments of the present application, the method includes the following steps: S1: The handheld device obtains the original meter information and the new meter information, and uploads the original meter information and the new meter information to the electricity meter management system respectively; S2: The electricity meter management system generates a balance transfer token corresponding to the new meter information based on the original meter information; S3: The new meter receives the input balance transfer token to complete the meter replacement.

[0021] In the embodiment of the present application, the present application is mainly used when the user's meter is damaged. After the power bureau staff conduct a preliminary exploration of the damaged meter on site, they use a handheld device to call the electricity meter management system to replace the meter, improving the efficiency of meter replacement business processing.

[0022] In the embodiment of the present application, the present application encrypts the balance transfer token through a standard transmission specification. The standard transmission specification (STS) is a set of secure messaging protocols. When selling electricity, a string of encrypted tokens (20 BCD codes) is generated according to the STS protocol. The TID is an important data component in the STS protocol, which can represent the moment of purchasing the token and is non-repeating. The protocol requires the meter to reserve 50 record spaces to store the TID. The meter judges the validity of the token based on this record. If the TID in the token has been stored in the record, the meter will prompt USED and reject acceptance. If it is earlier than 50 records, the meter will prompt OLD and reject acceptance; STS also provides key encryption technology to protect each token.

[0023] In the embodiment of the present application: 1. The user submits an application, and the user provides a meter replacement application and the meter information of the original meter; 2.

Some new meters do not have a keyboard. Connect the relevant input device to the new meter, and input the balance transfer token to the new meter through the relevant input device.

[0025] In the embodiment of the present application, the new meter cannot be powered on without a power value, similar to a mobile phone card. Without phone credit, it cannot be used, and without power, the switch will be tripped. After the balance transfer token is input into the new meter, the new meter will close the switch when it has power, and the core meter can be used normally. This balance transfer token is equivalent to the activation code corresponding to the new meter number. After input, the new meter can be used. The on-site staff will record the remaining power of the original meter and upload it to the system through the handheld device. The system generates a balance transfer token for the new meter based on the uploaded remaining power, and the power value carried by the token is the same as the remaining power of the old meter.
