Abstract

The invention relates to a system for collecting, transferring and managing measured data of the consumption of different flows and electricity, which system makes the process of measuring and analysing the consumption data of certain fluids and electricity more efficient. This system comprises three main sub-systems: one or more data centres (1), one or more data networks (2), and one or more tele-meters (3). The greatest effect of this invention is the reduction in the cases of evasion and losses of goods measured by the system, due to the instantaneity and automation of the reading of the consumption data.

Description

SISTEMA DE RECOLECCIÓN, TRASPASO Y GESTIÓN DE DATOS DE MEDICIÓN DE CONSUMO DE DIVERSOS FLUJOS Y ELECTRICIDAD.  SYSTEM FOR COLLECTION, TRANSFER AND MANAGEMENT OF CONSUMPTION MEASUREMENT DATA OF DIFFERENT FLOWS AND ELECTRICITY.
El sistema de recolección, traspaso y gestión de datos de medición de consumo de diversos flujos y electricidad, es una invención del sector técnico de las tecnologías de la información específicamente es un sistema para optimizar la medición de diversos bienes industriales o domésticos que vienen en foma líquida, gaseosa o eléctrica. El sistema está compuesto por tres subsistemas principales: Subsistema de tele medidores, subsistema de Red de Datos y un Centro de Datos donde se gestionan, procesan y almacenan los datos capturados por los medidores.  The system of collection, transfer and management of measurement data of consumption of various flows and electricity, is an invention of the technical sector of information technologies specifically is a system to optimize the measurement of various industrial or domestic goods that come in form liquid, gas or electric. The system is composed of three main subsystems: Telemeters subsystem, Data Network subsystem and a Data Center where the data captured by the meters is managed, processed and stored.
En la actualidad, la medición predominante del consumo de electricidad, gas, agua y otros fluidos está hecha principalmente en base a medidores análogos. Lo que produce la necesidad de un servicio complementario altamente costoso y poco preciso, que es la medición manual a domicilio. Donde es necesario contar con una entidad que revise personalmente el consumo acumulado del medidor para luego registrarlo en un medio digital para iniciar los trámites administrativos y comerciales de la empresa que suministra el bien. Además de que el servicio complementario es costoso y poco preciso, se tiene que los medidores actuales son altamente vulnerables porque en su mayoría utilizan un contador mecánico (sobre todo en el caso del agua y del gas), y al ser análogos no existe la posibilidad de poder tener un seguimiento cercano capaz de acusar y determinar los casos donde está ocurriendo evasión, a partir de los patrones de comportamiento de los consumidores (por ejemplo: un algoritmo de redes neuronales, de inteligencia artificial). Cabe destacar que la evasión no es un tema menor ya que el mal uso de estos recursos genera importante ineficiencias al país completo, dado que estos bienes (electricidad, agua, gas y gasolina por ejemplo) se ocupan en forma directa o indirecta en toda la actividad económica del país, y las ineficiencias que se producen tienen un impacto mayor aún dada la escasez de cada uno de ellos en el contexto mundial actual. At present, the predominant measurement of the consumption of electricity, gas, water and other fluids is mainly based on similar meters. What produces the need for a highly expensive and inaccurate complementary service, which is manual home measurement. Where it is necessary to have an entity that personally checks the accumulated consumption of the meter and then register it in a digital medium to start the administrative and commercial procedures of the company that supplies the good. In addition to the fact that the complementary service is expensive and not very accurate, current meters are highly vulnerable because they mostly use a mechanical meter (especially in the case of water and gas), and being similar there is no possibility of being able to have a close follow-up capable of accusing and determining the cases where evasion is occurring, based on the behavior patterns of consumers (for example: an algorithm of neural networks, of artificial intelligence). It should be noted that evasion is not a minor issue since the misuse of these resources generates significant inefficiencies for the entire country, given that these goods (electricity, water, gas and gasoline for example) are directly or indirectly occupied throughout the entire economic activity of the country, and the inefficiencies that occur have a greater impact even given the shortage of each of them in the current global context.
El Sistema de recolección, traspaso y gestión de datos de medición de consumo de diversos flujos y electricidad está compuesto por 3 subsistemas principales: Uno o más centro de datos (1), una o más redes de datos (2) y uno o más tele medidores (3). The System for collecting, transferring and managing data for measuring consumption of various flows and electricity is composed of 3 main subsystems: One or more data centers (1), one or more data networks (2) and one or more tele meters (3).
El subsistema Centro de Datos (1) posee en su interfaz inicial un portal (más conocido como gateway) (12) que modula la información proveniente de la Red de Datos (2) en ondas electromagnéticas de forma inalámbrica a impulsos eléctricos en un medio alámbrico, lo que puede ser fácilmente almacenable en un medio físico. Dentro del subsistema de Centro de Datos (1) existe un servidor que aloja un software que gestiona los datos, permitiendo visualizarlos, ordenarlos, agruparlos, analizarlos y manipularlos entre otras funciones, que luego permitirán la cobranza según mediciones, detección de anomalías de consumo, etcétera. El subsistema de red de datos (2) se compone de un grupo de cero o más concentradores (6,9) que captan las señales de cero o más tele medidores en forma alámbrica (10) o inalámbrica (8), y de una red de celdas (5) más conocida como red de celulares que capta las señales de cero o más concentradores (6,9) y cero o más tele medidores (8,10,11). Es posible utilizar enrutadores (7) entre los tele medidores inalámbricos (8) y los concentradores inalámbricos (6), de tal forma de que los concentradores inlámbricos (6) puedan tener un mayor alcance en distancia y abarcar más dispositivos. La red de celdas (5) antes mencionada, por lo general es preexistente en la zona geográfica donde estarán los tele medidores (8,10,11) y el Centro de Datos (1), además tiene una topografía de malla y deriva la información proveniente de los tele medidores (8, 10, 11 ) en el sub-sistema siguiente "Centro de Datos" ( 1 ). The Data Center subsystem (1) has in its initial interface a portal (better known as gateway) (12) that modulates information from the Data Network (2) in electromagnetic waves wirelessly to electrical impulses in a wired medium , which can be easily stored in a physical environment. Inside of the Data Center subsystem (1) there is a server that hosts software that manages the data, allowing visualization, ordering, grouping, analysis and manipulation among other functions, which will then allow collection according to measurements, detection of consumption anomalies, and so on. The data network subsystem (2) is composed of a group of zero or more concentrators (6,9) that capture the signals of zero or more telemeters in wired (10) or wireless (8) form, and of a network of cells (5) better known as a cellular network that picks up signals from zero or more concentrators (6.9) and zero or more telemeters (8,10,11). It is possible to use routers (7) between wireless telemeters (8) and wireless concentrators (6), so that wireless concentrators (6) can have a greater range in distance and cover more devices. The cell network (5) mentioned above, is usually pre-existing in the geographical area where the telemeters (8,10,11) and the Data Center (1) will be, also has a mesh topography and derives the information from the telemeters (8, 10, 11) in the following sub-system "Data Center" (1).
El subsistema de tele medidores (3) se compone de un conjunto de al menos 1 tele medidor (8,10,11). La función de este subsistema es recolectar los datos de transmisión y pasarlos al próximo subsistema dentro del sistema general en cuestión. El subsistema de tele medidores (3) se comunica con la red de datos (2) en forma inalámbrica través de ondas electromagnéticas y/o radio frecuencia bajo algún protocolo de comunicación preestablecido, o en forma alámbrica bajo algún protocolo de comunicación preestablecido. Los tele medidores (10) que se conectan en forma alámbrica con la red de datos (2), tienen que pasar por un concentrador de señales (9); en cambio los tele medidores que se comunican en forma inalámbrica (8,11) se pueden conectar a la red de datos a través de concentradores (6) o no, según el protocolo de comunicación inalámbrica que utilicen. The telemeters subsystem (3) consists of a set of at least 1 telemeters (8,10,11). The function of this subsystem is to collect the transmission data and pass it to the next subsystem within the general system in question. The telemeters subsystem (3) communicates with the data network (2) wirelessly through electromagnetic waves and / or radio frequency under some pre-established communication protocol, or in wired form under some pre-established communication protocol. Telemeters (10) that connect wired to the data network (2) must pass through a signal concentrator (9); on the other hand, telemeters that communicate wirelessly (8,11) can be connected to the data network through hubs (6) or not, depending on the wireless communication protocol they use.
Dado que las redes de celdas (5) que existen hoy en día están todas comunicadas entre sí (distintos países), el tamaño de un sistema en su aplicación extrema puede abarcar todo tele medidor (8,10,11) que se encuentre dentro del territorio con cobertura de la red de celdas (5). Por otro lado, es importante tener en cuenta que si bien la FIGURA 1 provee un modelo completo y suficiente del el sistema de recolección, traspaso y gestión de datos de medición de consumo de diversos flujos y electricidad, no son exclusivamente necesarias todas las entidades que se muestran en dicha figura para que funcione este sistema completo. Es decir, el sistema se puede ver reducido en su mínima expresión mientras tenga las siguientes partes: un Centro de Datos (1), una red de datos (2) (con concentradores (6,9) sólo en el caso que los tele medidores (8,10,11) no puedan conectarse directamente a la red de celdas (5), y al menos un tele medidor (8,10,11). Since the cell networks (5) that exist today are all communicated with each other (different countries), the size of a system in its extreme application can cover any telemeter (8,10,11) that is within the territory with coverage of the cell network (5). On the other hand, it is important to bear in mind that although FIGURE 1 provides a complete and sufficient model of the system for collecting, transferring and managing consumption measurement data of various flows and electricity, not all entities that are exclusively are shown in said figure for this complete system to work. That is, the system can be reduced to a minimum while it has the following parts: a Data Center (1), a data network (2) (with concentrators (6.9) only in the case that telemeters (8,10,11) they cannot connect directly to the cell network (5), and at least one telemeter (8,10,11).
La Figura 2 muestra un caso de construcción del sistema en cuestión, donde existen tele medidores alámbricos (10) y tele medidores inalámbricos (8) donde todos éstos pasan por un concentrador (9,6) respectivamente. Tal como se mencionó antes, también hay tele medidores (11) que se pueden conectar directamente a la red de celdas (5) sin pasar por un concentrador. Figure 2 shows a case of construction of the system in question, where there are wired telemeters (10) and wireless telemeters (8) where all these pass through a hub (9.6) respectively. As mentioned before, there are also telemeters (11) that can be connected directly to the network of cells (5) without going through a hub.
Las representaciones que se aprecian en FIGURA 1, FIGURA 2 y FIGURA 3 muestran cómo podría lucir un tele medidor (8,10,11) común según cada bien al cual le midan su consumo. Por lo general estos tele medidores poseen 4 módulos esenciales: medidor (caudalímetro para el caso de los medidores de flujo y vatihorímerto para el caso de los medidores de consumo eléctrico), fuente de energía, modulador de datos (que es la interfaz para pasar del subsistema de medidores al subsistema de red de datos) y procesador (que actúa como intermediario entre medidor, fuente de energía, modulador y display digital en el caso de existir). The representations shown in FIGURE 1, FIGURE 2 and FIGURE 3 show how a common telemeter (8,10,11) could look according to each good to which its consumption is measured. In general, these telemeters have 4 essential modules: meter (flow meter for the case of flow meters and wattmeter for the case of power consumption meters), power source, data modulator (which is the interface to move from meter subsystem to the data network subsystem) and processor (which acts as an intermediary between meter, power source, modulator and digital display if it exists).
El proceso de la transmisión de datos en este sistema, desde los tele medidores (8,10,11) hasta el Centro de Datos (1) está diseñado para cumplir con un alto estándar de robustez de comunicación y funcionamiento. Funcionalmente, esto se demuestra en que los tele medidores (8,10,11) no necesariamente dependen de un suministro eléctrico único ya que puede usar corriente de la red eléctrica y/o baterías, los tele medidores (8,10,11) no tienen que coordinase entre sí para enviar la información sino que cada uno la envía cuando está programado para enviarla, además el tele medidor (8,10,11) y/o el concentrador (6,9) puede contar con cierta capacidad de almacenamiento de datos, para evitar los vacíos de información en caso de que existan fallas de comunicación. The process of data transmission in this system, from the telemeters (8,10,11) to the Data Center (1) is designed to meet a high standard of communication and operation robustness. Functionally, this is demonstrated in that the telemeters (8,10,11) do not necessarily depend on a single power supply since it can use power from the mains and / or batteries, the telemeters (8,10,11) do not they have to coordinate with each other to send the information but each one sends it when it is programmed to send it, in addition the telemeter (8,10,11) and / or the concentrator (6,9) can have a certain storage capacity of data, to avoid information gaps in case of communication failures.
Las ventajas de este sistema de recolección, traspaso y gestión de datos de consumo para diversos bienes radica principalmente en una palabra: Eficiencia, la que se puede diluir en 3 principales aspectos: precisión de la medición (eficiencia en la medición), reducción de costos de la medición (eficiencia en costos) y disminución de la latencia de la información de consumo (eficiencia en el proceso). Lo que indirectamente produce un número divergente de beneficios, como la disminución de las pérdidas en el uso de estos bienes de alta importancia, la detección de usos ilícitos de estos bienes, la seguridad de los agentes que controlan los medidores análogos en terreno, entre muchos otros beneficios. DESCRIPCIÓN DE FIGURAS: The advantages of this system of collection, transfer and management of consumption data for various goods lies mainly in one word: Efficiency, which can be diluted in 3 main aspects: measurement accuracy (measurement efficiency), cost reduction of measurement (cost efficiency) and decrease of the latency of the consumption information (efficiency in the process). What indirectly produces a divergent number of benefits, such as the reduction of losses in the use of these high importance goods, the detection of illicit uses of these goods, the safety of the agents that control the similar meters in the field, among many other benefits.

De esta manera, quién compre la casa tendrá que pagar el tele medidor (8,10,11) junto con el precio del inmueble tal como siempre lo ha hecho y no pagar un costo extra por el recambio del tele medidor (8,10,11).  I. - The mode that is supported by the greater willingness to pay by the user and the lower cost of change: This mode to carry out the invention is based on installing the telemeters (8,10,11) in new homes and They were installed while the building was being built. In this way, who buys the house will have to pay the tele meter (8,10,11) along with the price of the property as it has always done and not pay an extra cost for the replacement of the tele meter (8,10, eleven).
II. - El modo que está apoyado por el mayor impacto produciendo mayores beneficios sociales: Este modo para realizar la invención necesita de una investigación donde se focalicen geográficamente los sectores de evasión de pago por consumo de ciertos bienes (Por ejemplo: concluir que en el Sector A es donde hay mayor evasión de pago en el país). De esta manera, se invierte en tele medidores de forma acotada en un sector, produciendo un beneficio social con mayor eficiencia que si se cambiaran todos los medidores análogos por tele medidores (8,10,11) de una vez. Como este beneficio social reduce pérdidas en el consumo de bienes escasos como el agua, el gas, electricidad y gasolina, en este caso se espera acudir a las empresas proveedoras y el gobierno para subvencionar la incorporación de tele medidores (8,10,11).  II. - The mode that is supported by the greatest impact producing greater social benefits: This mode to carry out the invention requires an investigation that geographically focuses on the sectors of evasion of payment for consumption of certain goods (For example: conclude that in Sector A it is where there is greater evasion of payment in the country). In this way, telemeters are invested in a limited way in a sector, producing a social benefit with greater efficiency than if all similar meters were changed by telemeters (8,10,11) at once. As this social benefit reduces losses in the consumption of scarce goods such as water, gas, electricity and gasoline, in this case it is expected to go to the supplier companies and the government to subsidize the incorporation of telemeters (8,10,11) .
Existen 2 formas principales para explotar el uso de la invención en la industria: I.- Para medir el consumo de bienes conectados a una red de aprovisionamiento (por ejemplo: red de electricidad, red de agua y en ocasiones red de gas) para mejorar eficiencia en la medición de éstos bienes, y II.- Para medir el aprovisionamiento de bienes para evitar pérdidas por vacíos de información.  There are 2 main ways to exploit the use of the invention in industry: I.- To measure the consumption of goods connected to a supply network (for example: electricity network, water network and sometimes gas network) to improve Efficiency in the measurement of these goods, and II.- To measure the supply of goods to avoid losses due to information gaps.
I. - Medición del consumo de bienes conectados a una red de aprovisionamiento: Este sistema de recolección, traspaso y gestión de datos de consumo de diversos flujos y electricidad se explotará industrialmente mediante la venta de datos de consumo de los distintos domicilios a las empresas proveedoras de los bienes consumidos. Además se podrán proveer servicios complementarios como el análisis de estos datos para encontrar anomalías en patrones de consumo.  I. - Measurement of the consumption of goods connected to a supply network: This system of collection, transfer and management of consumption data of various flows and electricity will be exploited industrially through the sale of consumption data from the different addresses to the supplier companies of the goods consumed. In addition, complementary services such as the analysis of these data can be provided to find anomalies in consumption patterns.
II. - Medición de aprovisionamiento de bienes para evitar vacíos de información: Teniendo en cuenta que los tele medidores (8,10,11) pueden comunicarse inalámbricamente y alimentarse de una fuente de energía móvil es posible instalar tele medidores en la entrada del depósito de cualquier bien a granel. Por ejemplo en la entrada del estanque de combustible de buses, camiones, aviones, maquinaria, entre otros. De manera de que la empresa dueña del activo (bus, camión, avión, maquinaria, entre otros) pueda corroborar que efectivamente el combustible que se cargó en el estanque sea igual a la cantidad de combustible que dice la factura que emite el proveedor del combustible. Todo esto mediante la venta de datos de caudal, fecha, hora y geolocalización a la empresa que aprovisiona los bienes. II. - Measurement of supply of goods to avoid information gaps: Taking into account that telemeters (8,10,11) can communicate wirelessly and feed on a mobile power source it is possible to install telemeters at the entrance of the deposit of any good in bulk. For example at the entrance of the fuel tank of buses, trucks, airplanes, machinery, among others. So that the company that owns the asset (bus, truck, plane, machinery, among others) can confirm that the fuel that was loaded in the tank is actually equal to the amount of fuel that the invoice that emits fuel supplier All this through the sale of flow, date, time and geolocation data to the company that supplies the goods.
Esto aplica para la venta de cualquier bien líquido o gaseosos que se venda a granel.  This applies to the sale of any liquid or gaseous goods sold in bulk.
