Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- reading, by a meter data management tool, at least one data structure comprising first consumption data and second consumption data derived from a consumption meter;
determining, by the meter data management tool, when the first consumption data and the second consumption data are unsynchronized with each other;
synchronizing, by the meter data management tool, the first consumption data with the second consumption data when the determining indicates that the first consumption data and the second consumption data are unsynchronized with each other; and
outputting, by the meter data management tool, synchronized first consumption data and synchronized second consumption data to at least one data structure.

Abstract
Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with synchronizing consumption data are described. In one embodiment, a method includes determining when a first consumption data of a first type and a second consumption data of a second type, derived from a same consumption meter, are unsynchronized with each other. The example method also includes synchronizing the first consumption data with the second consumption data when the two types of data are determined to be unsynchronized with each other.

11. A computing system, comprising:
-
data loading and validation logic configured to; (i) read at least one data structure comprising primary consumption data and secondary consumption data derived from a same consumption meter, (ii) pre-process at least one of the primary consumption data and the secondary consumption data to put in a form that is compatible with a data synchronization process, and (iii) determine when the primary consumption data and the secondary consumption data are unsynchronized with each other; data synchronization logic configured to synchronize the primary consumption data with the secondary consumption data by performing the data synchronization process; and data output logic configured to output the synchronized primary consumption data and secondary consumption data to at least one data structure of a database device. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions that are part of an algorithm that, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform a method, wherein the instructions comprise instructions configured for:
-
reading at least one data structure comprising register data and interval data derived from a consumption meter; determining when the register data and the interval data are unsynchronized with each other; and synchronizing the register data with the interval data, when the register data and the interval data are determined to be unsynchronized with each other, by performing a data synchronization process that matches a total consumption value of the interval data with a total consumption value of the register data. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
