Method for recharging gas meter and gas meter, terminal, server

technical field

The invention relates to the technical field of gas meter payment, in particular to a method for recharging a gas meter, a gas meter, a terminal and a server.

Background technique

The existing integrated circuit (IC, Integrated Circuit) card gas meter, one household, one meter and one card, the user pays the fee to the gas management department, and the management department writes the gas purchase amount into the IC card through the computer management system, and the user puts the IC card Then insert the IC card into the gas meter to obtain the right to use the purchased gas volume. During the user's gas consumption, the microcomputer in the IC card smart meter checks and subtracts the remaining gas volume. After the purchased gas is used up, it will automatically close the valve and cut off the gas. The user needs to purchase gas again to enable the IC card gas meter to open the valve to supply gas again. The disadvantage of this scheme is that one card per household must be reissued if lost. The user cannot visually see the remaining gas volume of the gas meter, and the gas is forced to be cut off after the gas is exhausted, which brings inconvenience to the life of the user.
