Abstract
Exemplary systems and methods for interaction with water usage information are provided. In various embodiments, a method comprises receiving water usage data from a meter device, receiving an identifier from a user associated with the meter device, providing an interactive interface to the user, the interactive interface conveying at least some water usage information based on the water usage data, receiving a first characterization of a first water activity from the user, generating a visualization based on the water usage information and the first characterization of the first water activity, and displaying the visualization.
Claims19
A method comprising:
- receiving water usage data from a meter device;
- receiving an identifier from a user associated with the meter device;
- providing an interactive interface to the user, the interactive interface conveying at least some water usage information based on the water usage data;
- receiving a first characterization of a first water activity from the user, wherein the first characterization characterizes the first water activity by a quantity of water consumed over a duration of water consumption, the first characterization including a user designation of both a period of time in the water usage information representing the duration of water consumption and a water usage categorization to be associated with the period of time;
- characterizing a second water activity based on pattern matching;
- generating a visualization based on the water usage information and the first characterization of the first water activity;
- and
- displaying the visualization.
A system comprising:
- a meter data module configured to receive water usage data from a meter device;
- a GUI module configured to receive an identifier from a user associated with the meter device and provide an interactive interface to the user, the interactive interface conveying at least some water usage information based on the water usage data;
- a preference module configured to receive a first characterization of a first water activity from the user, wherein the first characterization characterizes the first water activity by a quantity of water consumed over a duration of water consumption, the first characterization including a user designation of both a period of time in the water usage information representing the duration of water consumption and a water usage categorization to be associated with the period of time;
- a learning module configured to characterize a second water activity based on pattern matching;
- and
- a visualization module configured to generate a visualization based on the water usage information and the first characterization of the first water activity and display the visualization.
A computer readable medium comprising instructions, the instructions being executable by a processor to perform a method, the method comprising:
- receiving water usage data from a meter device;
- receiving an identifier from a user associated with the meter device;
- providing an interactive interface to the user, the interactive interface conveying at least some water usage information based on the water usage data;
- receiving a first characterization of a first water activity from the user, wherein the first characterization characterizes the first water activity by a quantity of water consumed over a duration of water consumption, the characterization including a user designation of both a period of time in the water usage information representing the duration of water consumption and a water usage categorization to be associated with the period of time;
- characterizing a second water activity based on pattern matching;
- generating a visualization based on the water usage information and the first characterization of the first water activity;
- and
- displaying the visualization.
