FIG. 1: THROUGH MOBILE APPS WATER CHARGING ARCHITECTURE
IWD-SIM: INTELLIGENT WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM FOR SAVING WATER USING SIM FIELD OF THE INVENTION
Our Invention "IWD-SIM "is related to intelligent water distribution system for saving SIM and also water distribution, controlling and monitoring system according to decided process of water charging technology by using mobile apps and web. A method of monitoring advanced separation and/or ion exchange processes by use of the World Wide Web allowing review of data collected and compiled asynchronously from a web server.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Freshwater is vital to health and to the economy, and reliable access to it is becoming increasingly important as the human population on Earth increases. Yet its availability is limited. Conservation is an important issue and therefore, water management tools are important, especially those tools that provide average households with the means for managing their own water consumption.
Many devices exist for monitoring and controlling water usage, but they provide limited functionality. For example, water meters exist that allow consumers to measure their own water usage. These devices however have no time resolution or past history records. Users cannot tell exactly when water is being used and by whom. Water thermometers exist that allow consumers to measure the temperature of their hot water and indirectly the amount of energy they use for heating water. These thermometers, however, are not connected to a central control system that monitors energy usage. Water valves exist that allow users to shut off water flow but these devices are not connected to a central management system that can control their open or close status. Flood alarms exist but they are not integrated with a central water management system capable of shutting off water in case of a flood.
Water pressure measurement systems exist but they are not integrated with a central management system capable of displaying pressure and of shutting off valves either in case of overpressure that could damage sprinklers or appliances, or in case of under pressure indicative of pipe breakage. Weather monitoring systems exist but are not integrated with a central water management system capable, for example of regulating lawn irrigation. Billing systems exist but they are not integrated with a central water management system. Furthermore, these devices are limited in their capabilities to communicate with consumers. The Rain Bird Company is marketing a smart controller that can be used to control sprinkler time based on weather data from public weather server data. But this controller does not use water authority mandates that are put in place sometimes during droughts to change watering time into their schedules and is not integrated into a comprehensive water management system.
Current water monitoring systems only send the cumulative water flow measurement in the form of a count, every few hours. This relatively long time interval makes water consumption monitoring impossible to perform in real time. None of the water meters have an integrated shut off value that can be activated remotely. The decision is made at None of the prior art offers the entertainment value of this invention. Further features, aspects, and advantages of the present invention over the prior art will be more fully understood when considered with respect to the following detailed description claims and accompanying drawings.
Protection of water supplies from either inadvertent or deliberate contamination is an increasingly important concern. While there exist many different devices and methods to analyze water for contaminants, widespread deployment of such devices is expensive and difficult. Most water treatment and distribution systems rely on the introduction and maintenance of a disinfectant into the water system to protect against biological and to a big extent chemical contamination. Chlorine, in the form of gas or hypochlorite, is by far the most common material used for this purpose. However, substitutes such as chloramines, ozone, hydrogen peroxide, peracetic acid, chlorine dioxide, and various mixed oxides also find service in this application. All of these materials have a more or less common mode of action. They rely on some sort of oxidation to effect the deactivation of biological organisms and the destruction of other organic compounds present in the water to be treated. The reaction rates of the various disinfection compounds are reasonably well known and well characterized.
Additionally, the presence or absence of turbidity in the water supply can greatly affect the amount of disinfectant required to achieve inactivation of biological organisms. The suspended particles producing turbidity are usually removed in the water treatment process before disinfection agents are applied. However, turbidity breakthroughs do occur and failure to quickly raise the disinfection dose level can lead to insufficient disinfection residuals reaching the distribution system. This can present a threat to public health, particularly if the drinking water supply is contaminated either deliberately or inadvertently.
To respond to the threats of terrorism in drinking water supplies, sensors have been and are being introduced into the distribution system to continuously monitor selected contaminants in the drinking water supply. For example, a system may monitor free chlorine residual at a location in the distribution system downstream of the main treatment plant. However, the concentration of free chlorine present at this point in the distribution system may lag the free chlorine analyzed at the exit of the water treatment plant by hours or even days in some cases. The lag will also vary by time of day, since water demand follows well known 24 hour cyclical periods.
This invention relates to automated utility water meter reading systems and, more particularly, to a self-powered system that allows remote meter readout without modification of the existing water meter. In particular, it relates to a self-powered sensor/transmitter unit adapted for attachment to a water meter for transmitting water consumption data so as to allow remote reading of the meter comprising, sensor means for sensing a component of the water meter moving in proportion to the rate of water consumption and for providing a signal proportional to the rate of movement of the component; consumption calculation means connected to receive the signal for producing a binary count of the water consumption; and, transmitter means for transmitting the binary count.
At present, systems designed for automatic water meter readout require replacement of the existing conventional water meter or extensive modifications to it. Installation is cost and labor-intensive and requires temporary shutoff of service to the customer. Labor costs are further increased by the requirements that the meter be connected to a power source and that cabling be installed to carry the meter signal to a telephone or CATV interface unit for each meter. These requirements present a particularly significant problem in the Western United States and other parts of the country where water meters are most often located inside a pit near the street curb, away from a power source and some distance from the dwelling. Extensive trenching and restoration of landscape or surfacing materials is required, making the large-scale adoption of automated systems cost prohibitive to the point of impracticality.
Wherefore, it is the object of the present invention to provide an automatic meter reading system for water meters, and the like, which is cheap and easy to install on existing equipment without modification thereof. It is another object of the present invention to provide an automatic meter reading system for water meters, and the like, which can be located remote from the building to which it relates and requires no power source for operation. It is yet another object of the present invention to provide an automatic meter reading system for water meters, and the like, which can transmit data for a large number of meters from a single telephone, CATV, or RF interface point.

Accurate calculation of Water utilization for proper water distribution Planning
It is save more water and accurate calculation of water utilization. So it's useful for water distribution and planning. I.e. more water distribution for Farming and industry. This invention is a water consumption monitoring and control system that allows a user to monitor and control water consumption. It is comprised of a base unit which itself comprises.
a) Display and a data entry device; b) Microprocessor c) Communication link connected to a water meter, through which water usage information is transmitted to the base unit. d) Second communication link to the Internet through which a user can monitor and control his water usage. The water usage can be converted to a dollar amount for the benefit of the user. The water consumption monitoring and control system is also connected to pressure sensors. The received pressure information is compared to pre-entered criteria. An alarm is generated if the pressure information does not conform to the pre-entered criteria. For example, a low pressure may indicate breakage or leak in a water pipe. This alarm is used to generate a message over the Internet in the form of email, tweet or text. Text messaging could use, for example, the Short Message Service (SMS) protocol. The water consumption monitoring and control system is also connected to water shut-off valves. The received pressure information is compared with pre-entered criteria. A shut-off signal is generated if the pressure information does not conform to the pre-entered criteria. This shut-off signal is sent to the shut-off valves.
Communication is established over the Internet with the local water utility company. Water usage and pressure information is sent to the company which compares this data against pre-set usage and pressure criteria and sends shut-off command signals to the base unit if the information does not conform to the pre-set usage and pressure criteria. This shut off signal is forwarded to the shut-off valves. Possible reasons for shutting off the water supply are that the utility company may determine that the water is unsafe to drink or that customers have not paid their bills. Communication is established over the Internet between the base unit and an Internet server. Water usage and pressure data are sent to the server which evaluates this information and returns usage control information to the base unit.
Water schedule advisories are received over the Internet from the local government water department. This data is used by the Internet server to generate government advisory control information which is sent to the base unit. Weather information is received over the Internet from the weather office. This data is used by the Internet server to generate weather advisory control information which is sent to the base unit. The base unit is also connected to, and can control the operation of, a sprinkler system.
Water temperature information is also transmitted to the base unit and used to calculate the energy used in heating water. Floor moisture sensors that generate information regarding the absence or presence of a flood are also linked to the base unit. In the presence of a flood, an alarm is generated and an Internet message is sent to the user. The base unit is also connected to vibration sensors configured to detect the vibrations produced by flushing toilets. Malfunctioning toilets which may take too long to fill can thus be identified.
The base unit can also be connected to several water meters, each water meter located in a different housing or commercial unit, thereby allowing the user (for example the landlord) to monitor the tenant's usage. Similarly, the base unit can monitor water usage at different points within a single house. The microprocessor in the base unit can record water usage as well as pressure and temperature information over a period of time and use this historical information to detect water wastage and to detect leaks and pipe breakage. The base unit can also provide to the user the information regarding the water consumption of his neighbours (or user defined groups anywhere in the world like families, brother and sisters, college campus or special interest groups) and his rank in water usage, thereby stimulating water conservation through competitive thinking.
Authentication Key or Kit
It is a 128 bit used to authentication of the SIM card on the Mobile Network. Each SIM has a unique Authentication key assigned by the operator during personalization. The Authentication Key is also stored in the data base of the carrier's network. When the mobile phone first activates using the SIM card, it gets the International Mobile Subscriber Identity or IMSI from the SIM card and transfers it to the mobile operator for authentication. The data base in the operator system then searches for incoming IMSI and the associated Authentication key. The operator data base then generates a Random Number or RAND and signs it with the IMSI and gives another number called Signed Response 1(SRES_ 1). The RAND will be sending to the mobile phone and the SIM then signs it with the Authentication Key and produces the SRES_ 2 which then passes into the operator network. The operator network then compares the SRES_1 it produced and the SRES_2 from the mobile phone. If both match, the SIM is authenticated.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DIAGRAM
FIG. 1: THROUGH MOBILE APPS WATER CHARGING ARCHITECTURE FIG.1-A: IWD-SIM FIG.2: WATER METER CONTROL WI-Fl. Water metering is the process of measuring water use: 1: 100- Water meter: Velocity water meters, also known as internal capacity meters, are another category of water flow meters. In these meters, the rate of flow of water is determined by monitoring the speed at which the water flows. The subcategories under this type are jet (single- and multi-jet) and turbine flow meters.
In single-jet meter, a single water-jet is impinged on the impeller while in the case of muti-jet meter; more than one jet is impinged on it. However, in either case, the rotational speed of the impeller gives a measure of flow rate of water. On the other hand, the turbine-kind of water meters use a turbine wheel whose speed of rotation determine the flow rate. 2:200- WI-FI Water Tower: This tower totally works in mobile tower. 3: 300- Firewall: similar as a mobile network. 4:400-Mobile application: similar as a mobile working system. :500-computer system to control total water management system 6:600-User data base storage station. 7:700-Water quality and quantity analysis system. 8-800- mobile apps to charge the water amount and how many litter water required. In many developed countries water meters are used to measure the volume of water used by residential and commercial buildings that are supplied with water by a public water supply system. Water meters can also be used at the water source, well, or throughout a water system to determine flow through a particular portion of the system. In most of the world water meters measure flow in cubic metres (M 3 ) or litres but in the USA and some other countries water meters are calibrated in cubic feet(ft. 3 ) or US gallons on a mechanical or electronic register. Some electronic meter registers can display rate-of-flow in addition to total usage. Common displacement designs include oscillating piston and nutating disc meters. Velocity-based designs include single- and multi-jet meters and turbine meters. There are also non-mechanical designs, for example, electromagnetic and ultrasonic meters, and meters designed for special uses. Most meters in a typical water distribution system are designed to measure cold potable water only. Specialty hot water meters are designed with materials that can withstand higher temperatures. Meters for reclaimed water have special lavender register covers to signify that the water should not be used for drinking. Additionally, there are electromechanical meters, like prepaid water meters and automatic meter reading meters. The latter integrates an electronic measurement component and a LCD with a mechanical water meter. Mechanical water meters normally use a reed switch, hall or photoelectric coding register as the signal output. After processing by the microcontroller unit (MCU) in the electronic module, the data are transmitted to the LCD or output to an information management system. Water meters are generally owned, read and maintained by a public water provider such as a city, rural water association or private water company. In some cases an owner of a mobile home park, apartment complex or commercial building may be billed by a utility based on the reading of one meter, with the costs shared among the tenants based on some sort of key (size of flat, number of inhabitants or by separately tracking the water consumption of each unit in what is called sub metering)
