SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR COORDINATING SYNCHRONIZED SAMPLING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240103054 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR COORDINATING SYNCHRONIZED SAMPLING

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes systems and methods for coordinating data sampling among devices, specifically focusing on energy data sampling from a smart meter. Here are some key points to explain the patent/innovation:

  • Electronic devices periodically sample energy data from a smart meter based on specified sample timing information.
  • The sample timing information dictates when each device should sample energy data, allowing devices to take turns and reduce power consumption by sampling less frequently.
  • A server determines sample times for devices and instructs them to sample energy data, optimizing sampling schedules.
  • Devices may join or leave wireless communication networks less frequently, reducing radio resource and bandwidth usage.
  • Coordinated sampling decreases individual device resource usage and improves overall efficiency.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in various industries such as smart home automation, energy management systems, and IoT devices.

Problems Solved

1. Efficient energy data sampling from smart meters. 2. Reduction of power consumption by electronic devices.

Benefits

1. Decreased power consumption. 2. Optimized sampling schedules. 3. Improved resource and bandwidth usage.

Original Abstract Submitted

systems and methods for coordinating data sampling among devices include a set of electronic devices that may periodically sample energy data from a smart meter according to sample timing information. the sample timing information may specify a set of times to sample energy data for each electronic device. the set of electronic devices may take turns in sampling energy data from the smart meter so that individual electronic devices may reduce power consumption by sampling less frequently. a server may determine the sample times for the electronic devices and may instruct the electronic devices to sample energy data. additionally, each individual electronic device may leave and/or join wireless communication networks less frequently than if each individual electronic device performed every sample. accordingly, the coordinated sampling may decrease the radio resource usage and/or bandwidth usage of any individual electronic device.
