Gas Meter Reading System and Meter Reading Method

摘要

A delivery server includes: a reception unit of receiving meter indication data of an existing gas meter and meter indication data of a new gas meter from a mobile terminal; a modification unit causing the new gas meter to be managed as a gas meter to be managed that is installed in a supply facility; and a meter reading processing unit performing a gas meter reading processing for the supply facility, when meter indication data of the new gas meter on a current meter indication date from the mobile terminal after gas meter replacement, on the basis of the received meter indication data, respective meter indication data of the new gas meter and the existing gas meter in the gas meter replacement, and meter indication data of the existing gas meter in the supply facility on a previous meter indication date of earlier than the gas meter replacement.

1. A gas meter reading system for performing a gas meter reading processing for detecting a gas usage in each of a plurality of supply facilities, comprising:
a memory configured to manage at least one set of meter indication data of each of a plurality of gas meters installed in the plurality of supply facilities; a processor coupled to the memory, the processor configured to:
receive from a communication terminal a set of meter indication data of an existing gas meter and a set of meter indication data of a new gas meter when gas meter replacement is performed, the memory further stores information relating to gas consumption equipment of a customer and gas flow rate according to product model number of the gas meter; wherein, prior to the gas meter replacement, the processes is configured to:
calculate a gas flow rate to be consumed by the gas consumption equipment of the customer based on the information relating to the gas consumption equipment stored in the memory;read a maximum flow rate from the memory according to a product model number of a current gas meter to determine a product model number according to the calculated gas flow rate based on a result of a comparison between the maximum flow rate and the calculated gas flow rate;output information for replacing the product model number of the current gas meter with a different product model number of the new gas meter to a communication terminal or a client computer;manage the new gas meter that is installed in a corresponding one of the plurality of supply facilities; andperform the gas meter reading processing for the corresponding one of the plurality of supply facilities when the reception unit receives a set of meter indication data of the new gas meter in the corresponding one of the plurality of supply facilities on a current meter indication date from the communication terminal after the gas meter replacement, with the gas meter reading processing configured to be performed based on the received set of meter indication data, respective sets of meter indication data of the new gas meter and the existing gas meter in the gas meter replacement, and a set of meter indication data of the existing gas meter in the corresponding one of the plurality of supply facilities on a previous meter indication date of earlier than the gas meter replacement.
