The Central Agency for Standardization and Quality Control in the Ministry of Planning granted a patent to Assist. Prof. Dr. Eyad Ibrahim Abbas in the Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Technology, in cooperation with Engineer Jafar Sadiq Abdul Hadi, on the design and implemented by them on a method to download electricity meter information to the consumer using Bluetooth technology.
The process of obtaining electrical meter data by the meter reader is slow, inaccurate and often incomplete. Therefore, this method is taking readings remotely and using Bluetooth technology after modifying and developing the current electrical meter by adding a Bluetooth device. Then the meter reader will take readings remotely and using any device containing a Bluetooth technology and then collecting data on the digital memory and then delivering the data to the concerned parties in the form of data entering the computer directly. This method is efficient, fast and accurate.
