Aspects of the disclosure provide for a circuit, in some examples, including a storage element, a co-processor, and a telemetry sequencer coupled to the storage element and the co-processor. The telemetry sequencer is configured to implement a digital state machine to receive configuration information indicating a type of telemetry data for generation, retrieve operations and operands, where the operations and the operands define a sequential series of actions for execution to generate the telemetry data, drive the co-processor with the operations and the operands by passing some of the operations and some of the operands to the co-processor for processing by the co-processor, receive, from the co-processor, and store an intermediate output of the series of actions as the telemetry data in a first format, and receive, from the co-processor, and store a final output of the series of actions as the telemetry data in a second format.

A moving sensor management unit is configured to provide, to a user, sensing data generated by a sensing device attached to a mobile object, and includes a run operation information storage unit configured to store run operation information of the mobile object, a run operation information update unit configured to, when a request to change the run operation information is received, update the run operation information stored in the run operation information storage unit, in accordance with the change request, and a first output control unit configured to output, in response to a provision request to provide sensing data that is based on the run operation information, sensing data corresponding to the provision request, to the user.

An AMI management method, and an AMI management server and a recording medium applying the same are provided. According to the AMI management method, the AMI management server managing an AMI stores customer information including a customer ID and information regarding a meter corresponding to a corresponding customer, requests an AMI platform to generate a service, maps AMI platform information received from the AMI platform as a response to the request onto the customer information, and transmits mapping information including the mapped information to the AMI platform. Accordingly, remote metering can be performed by using IoT communications of various telecommunications operators by using the AMI platform.

Example methods, apparatuses and systems are disclosed for monitoring and tracking goods flowing through a supply chain. In this regard, goods may be associated with one or more monitoring nodes for monitoring various parameters such as conditions associated with an environment of the goods. In this regard, the monitoring nodes transmits telemetry data monitored by the monitoring nodes, via edge devices or gateway nodes to a server. In accordance with various embodiments illustrated herein, based on an analysis of status information and a network connection quality, associated with transmission of telemetry data packets over a communication network, the data packets under transmission, may be altered by processing the data packets locally and intermediately at the edge devices before sending to the server. The data packets may be altered such that, in an operation, only a portion of data packet including relevant contextual information associated with the telemetry data may be transmitted to the server.

A signal activated switch for meters equipped with automatic meter reading output capability which allows a single water or gas meter to be interrogated by two or more meter interrogation units or meter reading devices without interference. The art of the present invention senses an interrogation by a meter interrogation unit and switches the meter interrogation unit onto the meter circuit for a brief period in order to read the internally stored data of the meter via an industry standard automatic meter reading communication protocol. The signal activated switch may integrate a display which allows display of internally stored consumption data, rate-of-flow, or water meter serial number. The signal activated switch also defaults to a first or primary meter interrogation unit should power be interrupted to the signal activated switch.
