Method and device for issuing a digital residence certificate
First Claim
1. A method implemented by means of computer resources of a module for a conditional issue of a digital residence certificate, for conditionally issuing a digital residence certificate, a residence having at least one meter measuring the consumption of fluid or electricity supplying the residence, the meter being designed to recurrently send data corresponding to a current state of the meter, the method comprising the steps of:
- continuous monitoring of said data with, for each new transmission of data, a reading of the data sent by said meter and a consistency test on the data read, on the basis of at least one predetermined criterion, andafter receiving a residence certificate request from at least one remote entity, a decision is made as to whether or not to fulfil the request, based on a result of said continuous data monitoring,storing of reference data for initialization of the continuous monitoring prior to the continuous monitoring,wherein the reference data and the data in each transmission include at least identification data for the meter and said predetermined criterion includes at least one verification of a meter identifier,wherein said reference data and the data in each transmission also contains a resident profile, and the predetermined criterion also contains verification of consistency of the resident profile, andwherein in the event of non-fulfilment of the consistency test, applying a lasting block to any future residence certificate requests;
wherein in the event of non-fulfilment of the consistency test relating to the resident profile, applying said lasting block such that it can be lifted by the resident;
wherein in the event of non-fulfilment of the consistency test relating to a negative verification of the meter identifier, applying said lasting block such that it can only be lifted by an external authority.

Abstract
A method for issuing a digital residence certificate using a module associated with a counter. Data from the counter are continuously monitored, whereby the data are read and a consistency test is performed on the basis of a predetermined criterion. In addition, after receiving a residence certificate request, a decision is made as to whether or not the request should be fulfilled, based on the results of the continuous data monitoring.

7. A module for conditionally issuing a digital residence certificate,
said module comprising: -
a first communication interface with at least one meter measuring fluid or electricity supplying a residence, in order to recurrently receive from the meter data corresponding to a current state of the meter, a second communication interface with at least one remote entity to receive residence certificate requests, storage elements to store identification data sent by said meter and reference data, and a processor for; comparing current data received from the first interface with data previously stored by the storage elements in order to verify consistency between said current data and the data previously stored, on the basis of at least one predetermined criterion, following receipt by the second interface of a residence certificate request (REQ), cooperating with said second interface to fulfil or not to fulfil the request, on the basis of said verification of consistency, wherein a resident profile is contained in said current data received from the first interface, and the predetermined criterion also contains verification of consistency of the resident profile according to said reference data, and wherein said predetermined criterion includes at least one verification of a meter identifier according to said identification data and said reference data, in the event of non-fulfilment of the verification of consistency, applying a lasting block to any future residence certificate requests, wherein in the event of non-fulfilment of the verification of consistency relating to the resident profile, applying said lasting block such that it can be lifted by the resident, whereas in the event of a negative verification of the meter identifier, applying said lasting block such that it can only be lifted by an external authority. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14)
