FLOW RATE MEASURING APPARATUS AND FLOW RATE MEASURING SYSTEM USING THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To identify a plurality of appliances from flow rate information and its degree of occurrence even when new appliances of the same kind are introduced. SOLUTION: The flow rate measuring apparatus includes: an ultrasonic flow meter 101 for measuring the flow rate of fluid flowing through a flow channel; a flow rate information storage section 102 for storing flow rate information; a flow rate information analysis section 103 for performing an analysis of the flow rate information; and an appliance identification section 104 for identifying an appliance in use on the basis of the analysis result of the flow rate information. The appliance identification section 104 identifies the operation of a plurality of appliances of the same kind through the detection of a plurality pieces of similar characteristic information and their degree of occurrence.
