摘要： A system is provided for detecting abnormal consumption in a distributed water infrastructure. The system may comprise at least one processor. The system may receive from at least one sensor associated with the distributed water infrastructure indications of regular water usage, wherein the distributed water infrastructure includes a plurality of water appliances. The system may determine from the indications received over a time period, at least one recurring time period of expected diminished water usage. The system may determine for the at least one recurring time period of expected diminished water usage at least one expected diminished water usage profile. The system may receive from the at least one sensor during a current time period of expected diminished water usage, real time indications of water usage, which may constitute a current water usage profile. The system may compare the current water usage profile during the expected period of diminished water usage with the at least one expected diminished water usage profile. The system may, based on the comparison, determine that water usage in the current water usage profile materially exceeds water usage in the at least one expected water usage profile. The system may execute a remedial action when, based on the comparison, the current water usage profile materially exceeds the at least one expected water usage profile.

摘要： A system is provided for determining whether a specific water appliance is malfunctioning. The system may comprise at least one processor configured to detect, from at least one sensor in a distributed water infrastructure upstream of the plurality of water appliances, a plurality of normal water usage profiles; associate at least one of the plurality of profiles with each of the plurality of appliances; detect at least one current water usage profile; and compare the at least one current profile with at least one of the stored profiles to determine a corresponding identity of an associated appliance and to determine if a deviation exists between the stored profile for the identified appliance and the at least one current profile. The deviation may be reflective of a potential malfunction in the associated appliance. The system may initiate remedial action if the deviation, reflective of a potential malfunction, is determined.

摘要： A system is provided for tracking, in a distributed water infrastructure, water usage by category. The system may comprise at least one processor configured to receive from at least one sensor associated with the distributed water infrastructure signals indicative of water usage in the distributed water infrastructure. The system may, based on the signals indicative of water usage, construct a plurality of profiles. The system may assign each profile to one of a plurality of water usage categories. The system may collect, from the at least one sensor, signals indicative of water usage for substantially all water delivered through the distributed water infrastructure in a time period. The system may construct a plurality of water usage profiles in the aggregate, encompassing substantially all water delivered through the distributed water infrastructure in the time period. The system may assign each constructed water usage profile to one of the plurality of water usage categories. The system may output, for display, water usage for the time period for each of the plurality of water usage categories.

摘要： A system is provided for determining from a location upstream of a plurality of water appliances, whether a specific water appliance is malfunctioning. The system may comprise at least one processor. The system may detect, from at least one sensor in a distributed water infrastructure upstream of the plurality of water appliances, a plurality of normal water usage profiles. The system may associate at least one of the plurality of normal water usage profiles with each of the plurality of water appliances. The system may store each of the plurality of normal water usage profiles in a manner associating each of the plurality of normal water usage profiles with an associated water appliance. The system may detect at least one current water usage profile. The system may compare the at least one current water usage profile with at least one of the stored normal water usage profiles to determine a corresponding identity of an associated water usage appliance and to determine if a substantial deviation exists between the stored normal water usage profile for the identified appliance and the at least one current water usage profile. The substantial deviation may be reflective of a potential malfunction in the associated water usage appliance. The system may initiate remedial action if the substantial deviation, reflective of a potential malfunction, is determined.

摘要： An electronic sensing and allocation system is provided for a distributed water infrastructure containing a plurality of differing appliances. The system may comprise at least one processor. The system may receive, from at least one sensor upstream of the plurality of differing appliances, a plurality of signals indicative of water usage within the distributed water infrastructure. The system may extract, from the plurality of signals, first information identifying a volume of water usage of at least a first appliance. The system may attribute a first volume of water to a first category. The system may extract, from the plurality of signals, second information identifying a volume of water usage of at least a second appliance. The system may attribute a second volume of water to a second category, wherein a first rate schedule is applicable to the first category, and a second rate schedule, other than the first rate schedule, is applicable to the second category. The system may output a first indication of the first volume of water together with an indicator attributing the first volume of water to the first rate schedule, and output a second indication of the second volume of water together with an indicator attributing the second volume of water to the second rate schedule. The system may enable billing of the first and second volumes of water to a consumer at differing rates based on differing uses.
