Abstract

Ein Verbrauchszähler (1) mit Meßwertgeber (104,105), Anzeigeeinheit (4) mit Sicherheitsmitteln (S1, S2, 18), mit einer Zuführ- und Abgabeeinrichtung (8, 6) und eine Kommunikationseinrichtung (101) wird von einem Sicherheitsgehäuse (10) umschlossen. Der Sicherheitsmodul (100) hat einen nichtflüchtigen Speicher (124, 129) zur Speicherung temporär gültiger Tarife und ist programmiert, eine Abgabegebühr basierend auf dem Verbrauchswert tarifabhängig zu berechnen. Ein Verfahren zur Aufzeichnung eines Verbrauchswertes umfaßt eine nichtflüchtige Speicherung von Tarifwerten, Liefern und Verarbeitung von Meßwerten über die Zufuhr und Abgabe von Materie, Energie oder Information, Liefern und Auswerten von Zeitdaten zur Ermittlung mindestens eines Verbrauchswertes, eine tarifabhängige Ermittlung mindestens einer Abgabegebühr entsprechend des vorgenannten Verbrauchswertes, Bildung einer Nachricht, welche mindestens die Abgabegebühr einschließt, Sichern der Nachricht mittels eines Überprüfungscodes, Aufzeichnung einer Mitteilung (m1), welche die Nachricht und den Überprüfungscode enthält, Kommunikation mit einem entfernten Server (2), zur Übermittlung der kryptographisch gesicherten Nachricht in Form eines ersten Datensatzes (D1).

A consumption meter (1) with a measuring sensor (104, 105), display unit (4) with safety means (S1, S2, 18), with a feed and discharge device (8, 6) and a communication device (101) is enclosed by a safety housing (10) , The security module (100) has a non-volatile memory (124, 129) for storing temporarily valid tariffs and is programmed to calculate a delivery fee based on the consumption value depending on the tariff. A method for recording a consumption value includes a non-volatile storage of tariff values, delivery and processing of measured values on the supply and delivery of matter, energy or information, delivery and evaluation of time data for determining at least one consumption value, a tariff-dependent determination of at least one delivery fee in accordance with the aforementioned Consumption value, formation of a message which includes at least the delivery fee, securing the message by means of a verification code, recording a message (m1) which contains the message and the verification code, communication with a remote server (2), for transmitting the cryptographically secured message in Form of a first data record (D1).
