SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONDUCTING BI-DIRECTIONAL COMMUNICATION SESSIONS WITH UTILITY METERS FROM A MOBILE DEVICE

摘要

An system and a method for conducting bi-directional communication sessions with sensing and control devices, such as utility meters, from a mobile device. A system for conducting bi-directional communication sessions with utility meters from a mobile device includes a mobile device capable of acquiring a communication session with a meter unit connected to a utility meter, a vehicle in which the mobile device is located, and a plurality of meter units connected to a plurality of utility meters. The meter units are capable of receiving and executing commands to obtain data and perform actions on the utility meters. The actions include a peak consumption value reset of the utility meter.
