Application: Utility restriction compliance monitoring and mitigation (Patent ID: US20240151555A1)
The patent filed by Itron Inc. describes techniques for monitoring utility consumption data to detect violations of utility restriction schedules associated with service sites. The system involves generating various restriction schedules indicating restricted activities, seasons, and durations, and automatically mitigating violations by controlling the quantity or timing of utility provision. The method includes monitoring consumption data, determining violations based on restriction schedules, and restricting access to utilities at service sites, with potential mitigation actions like controlling flow rates or discontinuing utility provision.
Furthermore, the patent details the disaggregation of consumption data to identify specific usage activities like irrigation or appliance operation, triggering violation alerts if these activities breach restriction schedules. The system can adjust monitoring sampling rates based on violation detection, generate notifications for users and utility providers, and restrict access to utilities by reducing flow rates. The patent also covers the implementation of these techniques in devices like smart utility meters, routers, or servers within a mesh network, emphasizing the importance of real-time monitoring and automatic mitigation to ensure compliance with utility restrictions and efficient resource management.
