AMI GATEWAY APPARATUS FOR PROCESSING LARGE AMI DATA AND VARIOUS APPLICATION PROFILES AND METHOD THEREOF
First Claim
1. An Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) gateway apparatus comprising:
- a storage storing a second Identification (ID) value as a mapping table, the second ID value having a smaller data size than a first ID value, which identifies a meter, and mapped with the first ID value;
an ID data processing unit converting the first ID value into the second ID value on the basis of the mapping table;
a meter data processing unit calculating an increase in the meter value receiving from the meter; and
a processor receiving the second ID value and the increase in the meter value and transmitting the received second ID value and the increase in the meter value to an AMI server.

Abstract
Provided are an AMI gateway apparatus and method for processing large AMI data and an application profile. The AMI gateway apparatus and method are associated with collecting meter data of smart meters measuring the amount of electricity or the like and transmitting the meter data to an AMI server. Disclosed is a method of reducing an ID type and a method of minimizing meter data to reduce the transmission rate of large AMI data including an ID value and meter data. A method of setting a gateway ID value according to locations and zones is also provided. Those three methods achieve the efficient transmission of large AMI data to an AMI server and is applicable to various gateway apparatuses processing various application profiles such as an HA profile controlling and sensing home appliances, an SE profile providing an AMI service, a TA profile providing mobile services or the like.

11. A method of processing large Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) data, the method comprising:
-
establishing a second Identification (ID) value in the form of a mapping table, the second ID value having a smaller data size than a first ID value, which identifies a meter, and mapped with the first ID value; converting, by an ID data processing unit, the first ID value into the second ID value by using the mapping table; calculating, by a meter data processing unit, an increase in the meter value; and transmitting, by a processor which processes various control messages, the second ID Value and the increase in the meter value to an AMI server as large AMI data. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
