Problems solved by technology

Especially when using electric meters to measure electricity charges, the following two types of electric meters and corresponding measurement methods need to be used in the prior art: 1. Mechanical meters, which can record electricity, but meter reading billing needs to be done manually by meter readers, which is very expensive. Manpower and material resources; 2. Chip card table, this table is for prepaid users, each chip card table corresponds to a chip card, when the chip card is recharged, insert it into the corresponding chip card table, the chip card table will be automatically read Get the data to complete the value
The above-mentioned first type of electric meter and the corresponding measurement method are too old, time-consuming and laborious to keep up with the development pace of the e-commerce era, and are already in a state of urgent need to be eliminated; while the second type of electric meter and the corresponding measurement method require users to go to the business hall or The automatic payment terminal purchases electricity, and then takes it to the meter to recharge the card. This method is relatively troublesome and labor-intensive. It does not meet the requirements of intelligence and speed, and is far from the speed and convenience that people expect.
In addition, since a large number of users are still using the above two types of electricity meters, especially chip card meters, at this time, if the existing meters are discarded and upgraded to a new smart meter and the corresponding metering method is used, it will cause huge waste and high cost, which will affect users. normal electricity

Abstract

The invention discloses a method and system for payment of electricity consumption. The method includes the following steps: S1, the smart device establishes communication with the server and pays the fee to the server, and the server feeds back the payment information to the smart device after payment; S2, the smart device communicates with the smart device The communication module of the smart card establishes communication, and the smart device sends the payment information to the smart card through the communication module, and the processing module of the smart card processes the payment information to generate corresponding payment data and stores them; Send the payment data to the meter body, and the meter body controls the flow of electricity according to the payment data. The system corresponding to the method enables the user to pay without being restricted by time and place, which is fast and convenient, and has good user experience. In addition, for the large number of existing users who are still using the chip card meter for billing, the method can be upgraded to the electricity payment system of the present invention without replacing the original chip card meter.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of electronic commerce, in particular to an electricity payment method and system. Background technique [0002] At present, in terms of electricity consumption, water consumption, or gas consumption by users, manufacturers need to use various corresponding meters to bill and collect relevant fees for the flow of the above items. Especially when using electric meters to measure electricity charges, the following two types of electric meters and corresponding measurement methods need to be used in the prior art: 1. Mechanical meters, which can record electricity, but meter reading billing needs to be done manually by meter readers, which is very expensive. Manpower and material resources; 2. Chip card table, this table is for prepaid users, each chip card table corresponds to a chip card, when the chip card is recharged and inserted into the corresponding chip card table, the chip card table will be automatically read ...
