Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. The components of embodiments of the present invention generally described and illustrated in the figures herein may be arranged and designed in a wide variety of different configurations. Thus, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention, presented in the figures, is not intended to limit the scope of the invention, as claimed, but is merely representative of selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments of the present invention without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
Referring to fig. 1, the present embodiment provides a self-service meter reading system, which includes a meter, a user terminal and a server, where the user terminal and the server communicate with each other in a wireless manner to perform information interaction.
As shown in fig. 2, in this embodiment, the meter includes a metering unit, a valve, a control unit and a password input unit, and both the valve and the password input unit are electrically connected to the control unit. The control unit is mainly used for controlling the opening or closing of the valve. The meter can be a water meter, a gas meter and the like, and the difference lies in the different structures of the metering units. The metering unit adopts the structure in the prior art no matter a water meter, a gas meter and the like.
The password input unit is used for inputting a valve-opening password, and can be a hardware key or a soft keyboard. In addition, the meter may further include a display unit (a liquid crystal display shown in fig. 2), which may display a password input by the user, so as to facilitate checking whether the password is correctly input, and may display a check code for checking whether the measurement result uploaded by the user is the measurement result of the current time period.
With reference to fig. 1, the user terminal is mainly configured to collect the readings and/or the images including the readings measured by the measuring unit, transmit the readings and/or the images to the server, and receive the password sent by the server; and the server is mainly used for accounting the usage amount of the user according to the reading and/or the image containing the reading sent by the user terminal and sending a valve opening password capable of opening the valve to the user terminal. The user terminal can be a smart phone which can be provided with an application program, and can also be a palm computer, a notebook computer, a PAD and other devices.
In the configuration shown in fig. 1, one server is used to implement both data transmission and reception and data processing, and as another embodiment, the data transmission and reception and processing may be handled by different servers, that is, the server includes an image processing server and a data transmission and reception server, the data transmission and reception server is mainly used to transmit and receive data or to simply process data, for example, to receive the image and/or the reading including the reading transmitted from the user terminal or to transmit another data, and to transmit a valve opening password to the user terminal, and the image processing server is mainly used to perform image processing, for example, to recognize the reading from the image including the reading transmitted from the user terminal.
Referring to fig. 3, a self-service meter reading method is provided in this embodiment based on the self-service meter reading system shown in fig. 1. In this embodiment, the method of the present invention will be described by taking a gas meter as an example. Specifically, the self-service meter reading method comprises the following steps:
and S101, recording the gas consumption of the user at the current time by a metering unit of the meter.
S102, the user terminal collects the reading of the meter and/or the image containing the reading and transmits the reading to the server.
In one embodiment, the user terminal may simply upload the meter reading to the server, which is only prone to a situation where an input error or an intentional input error may occur due to the reading being input by the user, for example, the reading input by the user is smaller than the actual reading.
Therefore, in another embodiment, the user terminal can only upload the image containing the reading of the meter to the server, because the data in the image has no way for the user to change, and therefore, as long as the user collects the image of the current time through the user terminal, the situation that the collected reading is inconsistent with the actual reading does not occur.
Although image recognition techniques for meter readings are well established, recognition errors are inevitable, and therefore, as a more preferred embodiment, the meter reading and the image containing the reading can be uploaded simultaneously; or after the user terminal uploads the image, the server immediately identifies and pushes the identified reading to the user terminal, the user can compare whether the reading is consistent with the actual reading or not, and if not, the user can manually input the reading.
As an example of an implementation manner, in this embodiment, the user terminal acquires an image including a reading through a pre-installed photographing tool provided by the client, and submits reading data through a data input port provided by the client. The user terminal is also required to be registered after the client is installed, and during registration, the number of a mobile phone (taking the user terminal as an example) of the user needs to be bound with the photographing tool in the client, and the rule of the photographing tool for collecting images is matched with the image analysis rule of the server, so that the server can recognize the reading and the user terminal from which the reading is sent through the images collected by the photographing tool, and the server can conveniently send the valve opening password to the user terminal. The two-dimensional code of the client installation address can be arranged on the outer surface of the meter, and the client can be installed after the user terminal scans the two-dimensional code.
S103, the server calculates the gas usage of the user according to the reading sent by the user terminal and/or the image containing the reading, and sends a valve opening password to the user terminal, so that the user can open the valve of the meter by inputting the valve opening password.
In the system or the method, the control unit in the meter can regularly control the valve to be closed, the user cannot continue to use the natural gas after the valve is closed, the valve can be opened only after the valve opening password is input, and the user can continue to use the gas, so that the user can be promoted to check the meter on time or actively.
Generally, the gas settlement is in units of months, and therefore, the time period for automatically closing the valve can be set to 30 days. The user can upload meter reading data (meter reading and/or images containing the reading) after the valve is closed, the valve opening password is input through the password input unit on the meter after the valve opening password is obtained, and the control unit can control the valve to be opened. The user may also upload meter reading data within a time period, that is, within a certain time (for example, 5 days in advance) before the valve is not automatically closed, the server may also send a valve-opening password to the user terminal, and the user may immediately input the valve-opening password after receiving the valve-opening password, at this time, the control unit may postpone a valve-closing period (that is, a 30-day time period) of the valve, for example, the valve should be automatically closed in this month No. 15 (the current time is this month No. 11), but after the user inputs the valve-opening password in advance by reading the meter, the valve-closing period will not be automatically closed in this month No. 15, but will be postponed in the next month No. 15, and of course, if the user also reads the meter in the next month, the valve-closing period will continue to be postpon. The user can input the valve-opening password after the valve is closed instead of inputting the valve-opening password in advance after reading the meter in advance. That is, the above-described system and method can be adapted to various operations of the user.
The valve is closed at regular time and can be opened again only by inputting a valve-opening password, so that the purpose of facilitating the user to check the meter on time is achieved. However, if the user checks the meter for many times in a time period and each time the meter is checked to give a valve-opening password, the user may accumulate the valve-opening password, so that the user can use the valve after closing the valve regularly in the later time period, and the purpose of self-help meter reading by the user cannot be achieved. Therefore, in order to avoid this, the user is sent the valve opening password only once in a time period, and even if the user checks the meter many times, the user sends the valve opening password only at the first time of checking the meter, or sends the same valve opening password every time in the time period. For example, assuming that the valve is automatically closed in a time period of 5 months and 15 days, a user can read a meter and obtain a valve opening password after closing. However, if the user reads the meter in advance (assuming that only 5 days are allowed to read the meter before a new password is given), namely at any time in the time period of No. 5-11-5-15, the server returns a valve opening password to the user terminal after the user uploads the meter reading data for the first time, and if the user reads the meter again in the period, the server does not return the valve opening password to the user terminal or only sends the same valve opening password which is sent before. That is, only one valve-opening code is used for opening the valve in one time period, so that the situation that a user accumulates the valve-opening code can be avoided.
The problem of cheating by stockpiling of the password of the valve by the user can be solved by other embodiments. For example, after receiving the valve opening password and before preparing to open the valve, the control unit of the meter further performs an operation, that is, determines whether the valve opening password input by the user is correct, if so, opens the valve, or delays the valve closing period of the valve (for the case that the user reads the meter in advance and the user inputs the valve opening password in advance), and if not, continues to close the valve, or sends out a prompt message that the password is wrong through the display unit. The valve-opening password here is correct, and has two layers, one layer means that the user does not input an error when inputting the password, and the other layer means that the user inputs the valve-opening password in the current time period (for the case that the user just reads the meter and acquires the valve-opening password after the valve is closed) or in the next time period (for the case that the user acquires the valve-opening password in the next time period in advance after reading the meter), rather than the valve-opening password in the later time period acquired by accumulating the valve-opening passwords.
The method for the control unit of the meter to perform password verification and the method for the server to control only one valve-opening password in the same time period can be separately adopted or simultaneously adopted, and password synchronization is required to be realized during the simultaneous adoption, namely the mode for the control unit and the server to generate the valve-opening password is the same, and the valve-opening password sent by the server and the valve-opening password adopted by the control unit to perform password verification in the same time period are the same password.
For the payment of the expenses after using the fuel gas, one operation is to pre-deposit in advance and then deduct according to the actual usage amount, the other operation is to use first and then settle according to a certain time period (generally one month), and the current mode mainly adopts the mode of pre-depositing in advance. Therefore, in this embodiment, based on the actual situation, in order to further improve the scheme of the present invention, after receiving and accounting the meter reading data, the server needs to first determine whether the pre-deposit is enough to cover the gas fee of this time period, if so, the server sends the valve-opening password to the user terminal, and if not, the server needs to send the valve-opening password after the user charges the meter. That is, the specific execution process of step S103 is as follows:
the server calculates the usage amount of the user according to the reading and/or the image containing the reading sent by the user terminal;
and calculating the usage fee according to the checked usage amount, judging whether the calculated usage fee is larger than a prestored balance, if so, directly sending a valve opening password to the user terminal, if not, sending a recharging prompt message to the user terminal, and after receiving the information that the user has recharged, sending the valve opening password to the user terminal.
In the system or the method, because the user self-service meter reading is carried out, the user can acquire the meter reading of the user through the user terminal and can also acquire the meter reading of other people. The gas consumption of each family is different, and if the user with large gas consumption collects the reading of the meter of the family with small gas consumption for paying less, the meter reading result is inaccurate. In order to avoid this, in a more sophisticated scheme, the image collected by the user and containing the reading may further include the ID number of the meter, or the check code displayed in the meter, or both the ID number of the meter and the check code displayed in the meter. At this time, in step S103, before the server performs the operation of accounting the usage amount of the user according to the reading and/or the image containing the reading sent by the user terminal, the following operations should be performed:
the server judges whether the image collected by the user terminal is effective, and if the image is effective, the server calculates the usage amount of the user according to the reading and/or the image containing the reading sent by the user terminal; and if the image is invalid, sending a prompt message that the image is invalid to the user terminal. Here, the image is valid means that the image includes a reading, and the ID number of the meter and/or the check code displayed in the meter, and if the reading is absent, or the ID number of the meter and/or the check code displayed in the meter is absent, the image is determined to be invalid. In addition, it is readily understood that the reading, ID number or check code in the image should be clearly identifiable, and not meaningful if a particular number or character is not identified.
Both the ID number and the check code are intended to characterize the identity of the meter to which the reading in the image belongs, and therefore only one of these means may be employed. One table has an independent and unique ID number, and when a user registers a client, the user binds the ID number of the table with a mobile phone number of the user (for example, the user terminal is a mobile phone, and if the user terminal is another device, the user terminal is the unique identification number of the another device), and the server can determine whether the image is a reading image of the table of the corresponding user when recognizing the ID number. The server judges whether the ID number is matched with the user terminal which sends the image, if so, the server calculates the usage amount of the user according to the reading sent by the user terminal and/or the image containing the reading, otherwise, the server does not perform any processing, or sends warning information to the user terminal to prompt the user to collect the image of the own meter.
For the embodiment that the image contains the check code, the control unit of the meter updates the check code according to the set time period (i.e. the valve-closing period), and displays the updated check code through the display unit. The server judges whether the check code in the image is consistent with the actual check code of the meter in the current time period after receiving the image, if so, the server checks the usage amount of the user according to the reading and/or the image containing the reading, otherwise, the server does not perform any processing, or sends warning information to the user terminal. The check codes of the meter in a time period are all fixed, or the generation rule of the check codes is fixed, the server can know the check codes which the meter should have in the current time period according to the generation rule of the check codes, namely the check codes actually displayed in the meter at the current time, and the check codes in the image are compared with the calculated check codes, so that whether the check codes are consistent or not can be judged.
The system or the method or the meter can realize self-help meter reading of the user, and can avoid various cheating behaviors in a more perfect scheme, so that the reliability and the feasibility of the self-help meter reading can be ensured. Through the change of the meter reading mode, on one hand, the meter can be enabled to have no communication module and/or camera, so that the hardware cost of the meter and the maintenance cost of the meter are reduced, and on the other hand, the communication cost of a gas company and the dependence on the communication mode can also be reduced. In a word, the method and the system can effectively solve various problems existing in the conventional meter reading mode.
Based on the same inventive concept, the embodiment also provides a self-service meter reading device which is realized based on a server side.
Referring to fig. 4, specifically, the self-service meter reading device includes a data receiving module, a usage accounting module, and a password pushing module, where the data receiving module is configured to receive meter reading data sent by a user terminal, and the meter reading data includes a reading of a meter and/or an image including the reading; the usage accounting module is used for accounting the usage of the user according to the meter reading data; the password pushing module is used for sending a valve opening password to the user terminal after the usage accounting module accounts so that a user can conveniently open the valve of the meter by inputting the valve opening password.
In a further improved embodiment, the self-service meter reading device further comprises an effectiveness judgment module and an information prompt module, wherein the effectiveness judgment module is used for judging whether an image containing a reading sent by the user terminal is effective or not and outputting a judgment result; the information prompting module is used for sending prompting information of invalid images to the user terminal when the validity judging module outputs an invalid judging result; at this time, the usage accounting module is specifically configured to account the usage of the user according to the meter reading data when the validity judgment module outputs a valid judgment result. And when the validity judging module judges that the image contains the recognizable reading, the ID number of the recognizable gauge and/or the check code displayed in the gauge, the image is judged to be valid, and otherwise, the image is judged to be invalid.
In a further sophisticated embodiment, the self-service meter reading device further comprises an identity matching module; when the image contains the ID number of the table, the identity matching module is used for judging whether the ID number is matched with the user terminal which sends the image or not and outputting a matching result; and when the image contains the check code, the identity matching module is used for judging whether the check code is consistent with the actual check code of the meter in the current time period or not and outputting a matching result. At this time, the usage accounting module is configured to account the usage according to the meter reading data when the identity matching module gives a matching result, and the information prompting module is further configured to send warning information that the identity is not matched to the user terminal when the identity matching module gives a non-matching result.
In a further improved embodiment, the self-service meter reading device further includes a charge accounting module, configured to, after the usage accounting module calculates the usage amount, account the usage charge corresponding to the usage amount, and determine whether the calculated usage charge is greater than a pre-stored balance, and give a determination result. At this time, the password pushing module is used for sending a valve opening password to the user terminal when the fee accounting module gives a judgment result larger than the judgment result; the information prompt module is also used for sending the prompt information of recharging to the user terminal when the fee accounting module gives a judgment result not greater than the judgment result.
In one embodiment, when pushing the valve opening password to the user terminal, the password pushing module first determines whether the valve opening password has been sent to the user terminal within the current time period, and if not, sends the valve opening password to the user terminal, otherwise, does not send a new valve opening password to the user terminal, or sends the same valve opening password, so as to prevent the user from accumulating the valve opening password to avoid paying the usage fee.
The self-service meter reading device is realized based on a server, can be a server, can also be other electronic equipment, or is integrated in a processor of the electronic equipment as a functional module. In addition, it is easy to understand that the structure of the self-service meter reading device is divided based on the function modules, and as other embodiments, other division modes can be provided when the corresponding functions are completed. In addition, it is easy to understand that each functional module of the self-service meter reading device can be integrated into one device, or can be integrated into different devices, and when the functional modules are integrated into different devices, the functional modules are used in cooperation with each other.
The above description is only for the specific embodiments of the present invention, but the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, and any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of the changes or substitutions within the technical scope of the present invention, and all the changes or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the present invention.
