Abstract
A system and method analyzes resource consumption without requiring sensors at every device for which consumption is analyzed. Data rates used to provide resource use information may be increased or decreased based on user actions.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- receiving data related to resource use at a metered location;
- identifying, by a processor, a first resource use area included in a graph of the resource use over time, wherein the first resource use area indicates the resource use by one or more devices at the metered location over a specific period of time;
- identifying, by the processor, exceptional resource use at the metered location based on information related to a first device at the metered location that caused, at least in part, the resource use reflected by the first resource use area;
- and
- transmitting or storing information related to correcting the exceptional use.
2 more elements
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform the steps of:
- receiving data related to resource use at a metered location;
- identifying a first resource use area included in data of the resource use, wherein the first resource use area indicates the resource use by one or more devices at the metered location;
- and
- identifying exceptional resource use at the metered location based on information related to a first device at the metered location, wherein the first device caused, at least in part, the resource use reflected by the first resource use area.
1 more element
A system, comprising:
- a memory including instructions;
- and
- a processor that is coupled to the memory and, when executing the instructions, is configured to:
- receive, from a meter, data related to resource use at a metered location;
- identify a first resource use area included in a graph of the resource use, wherein the first resource use area indicates the resource use by one or more devices at the metered location;
- and
- identify exceptional resource use at the metered location based on information related to a first device at the metered location, wherein the first device caused, at least in part, the resource use reflected by the first resource use area.
