Intelligent two-way telemetry
First Claim
1. A telemetry system, comprising:
- one or more telemetry units that can receive and send data; and
one or more controllers that includes intelligence for processing data from the one or more telemetry units and for autonomously communicating with the one or more telemetry units, the controllers being separately located from a data processing center of the telemetry system, the controllers alleviating data congestion going to and coming from the data processing center.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, implementing and using techniques for intelligent two-way telemetry. A telemetry system in accordance with the invention includes one or more telemetry units that can receive and send data The system further includes one or more controllers that includes intelligence for processing data from the one or more telemetry units and for autonomously communicating with the one or more telemetry units. The controllers are separately located from a data processing center of the telemetry system such that the controllers alleviate data congestion going to and coming from the data processing center.

10. A computer program product, tangibly stored on machine readable medium, for reducing traffic congestion between a data processing center and end points in a metering system, the product including instructions to cause a controller to:
-
receive telemetry from one or more end points, the telemetry including a measure of utility consumption;
receive utility pricing data and a user preference; and
autonomously control a device at an end point in accordance with the user preference and based on the utility data received and the telemetry received. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
