Abstract

A prepaying method of a meter relates to cost management of a public resource system, and particularly to a method of cost prepaying and cost retrieval of a household meter. The method is realized based on a prepaying meter, a smart phone and a background main station. The method comprises the following steps of a subject matter purchasing step, a subject matter dispensing step and a subject matter returning step. According to the prepaying method of the meter, the smart phone is used as a communication relay and information buffering and exchanging node between the background main station andthe meter. Not direct communication is required between the background main station and the meter, thereby simplifying the structure of the meter, and saving communication cost in system operation. Paying and writing the cost into the meter are finished in two independent steps, thereby preventing an operation failure condition caused by a communication fault of one party.
