Abstract
A method for determining events in a network of consumption meters, in which an event is determined by grouping data wherein the event according to consumption meters which have detected this characterizing data. If groups of consumption meters match, this is determined as an event, the grouping being carried out according to the following criteria—temporal coincidence of the event—spatial concordance of the event—consistency of the event type. The spatial concordance is determined by determining and ranking the Euclidean distance of each of a plurality of consumption meters to everyone of the of others of the plurality of consumption meters, and by assigning the n closest consumption meters that have detected this characterizing data to a group of consumption meters.
Claims19
A method for determining events in a network of a plurality of consumption meters, the method comprising steps of:
- determining a first event by grouping data characterizing the first event according to consumption meters of the plurality of consumption meters which have detected the characterizing data and, if data from each consumption meter, that detected the data characterizing the first event, indicates that the first event has occurred, it is determined that the first event has occurred, the grouping being carried out according to a criteria comprising:
- temporal coincidence of the first event,
- spatial concordance of the first event and
- consistency of a type of the first event,
- wherein the spatial concordance is determined by determining and ranking an Euclidean distance of each of the plurality of consumption meters to every other consumption meter of the plurality of consumption meters, and by assigning n closest consumption meters that have acquired the characterizing data to a group of consumption meters.
A head end system which is data connected to a plurality of consumption meters configured to execute a method comprising steps of:
- determining a first event by grouping data characterizing the first event according to consumption meters of the plurality of consumption meters which have detected the characterizing data and, if data from each consumption meter, that detected the data characterizing the first event, indicates that the first event has occurred, it is determined that the first event has occurred, the grouping being carried out according to a criteria comprising:
- temporal coincidence of the first event,
- spatial concordance of the first event and
- consistency of a type of the first event,
- wherein the spatial concordance is determined by determining and ranking an Euclidean distance of each of the plurality of consumption meters to every other consumption meter of the plurality of consumption meters, and by assigning n closest consumption meters that have acquired the characterizing data to a group of consumption meters.
