Abstract

La présente invention concerne des procédés et des appareil mettant en oeuvre des techniques de communication asymétrique dans un système de compteur à prépaiement. De manière générale, dans un mode de réalisation, les techniques fournissent un système utilitaire comprenant un réseau de distribution pour la distribution d'une ressource à un client. Le système comporte un compteur destiné au comptage de la ressource et à la connexion et la déconnexion d'une fourniture de la ressource distribuée au client. Le compteur comprend un système de contrôle pour l'entretien d'un compte du client et pour contrôler la distribution de la ressource en fonction de l'information de compte. Le compteur comporte un premier système de communication pour l'envoi, sur un premier support, une information à partir du compteur de prépaiement vers le système de contrôle. Le compteur comporte un deuxième système de communication pour l'envoi, sur un deuxième support, une information à partir du système de contrôle vers le compteur de prépaiement, dans lequel l'information comprend des signaux de déconnexion ou de connexion de la fourniture de la ressource distribuée au consommateur.
