Real-Time Electrical Consumption Measurement and Modulation System

The patent inverts the conventional approach by enabling corrective actions to be applied upstream of the measurement point, not just downstream. The central control device can identify anomalies originating upstream and selectively disconnect appliances upstream of the anomaly source, reversing the traditional unidirectional control flow and expanding the system's ability to address network-wide issues.

The patent introduces a communication network as an intermediary between the central control device and the distributed appliances. This mediator enables the central device to receive status information from and send control commands to appliances throughout the network, facilitating coordinated response to electrical anomalies regardless of their location relative to the measurement point.

The patent implements dynamic measurement and communication intervals rather than fixed periodic updates. The system can adjust the frequency of measurements and data transmissions based on network conditions and anomaly detection, enabling rapid response to critical events while maintaining routine consumption tracking at lower intervals during normal operation.

The patent establishes a feedback loop where measurement results are immediately communicated back to the central control device, which can then trigger real-time control actions. This closed-loop system enables the network to respond dynamically to detected anomalies rather than waiting for scheduled update intervals, bridging the gap between continuous monitoring and periodic reporting.
