Abstract: A computer-implemented system for determining the effect of a change is a utility system based on streamed meter data is described. The system includes a metering analytics system configured to receive a stream of meter data received from sensors in or in proximity with utility meters in a utility monitoring system, the meter data being generated by the sensors and a central event management system for identifying an effect of modification to the utility monitoring system in the streamed meter data based on a plurality of sequential meter reads in the streamed meter data. The central event management system is configured to receive a change notification including change time, identify a meter associated with the change notification, monitor read messages in the streamed meter data to identify a first read message for a watched meter received following the change time, and determine a change effect for the meter based on at least a second read message in the streamed meter data.

Abstract: A layout table describing positions and types of a plurality of windows is used to manage a graphical user interface. At the time of initialization or when the layout table is changed, windows and associated window managing modules are generated or added in accordance with the contents of the layout table. The window managing module processes a user input event in accordance with its type and position, and displays appropriate information in the windows in accordance with the user's instructions. The user can describe the contents of the layout table in an external file or can specify layout information using a menu provided by the system when running the system. In this manner, the user can set the positions and types of windows as desired and improved ease of use can thus be enjoyed.

Abstract: Graphical objects are used to set the relationships between a plurality of windows presented on a system display. The window relationships can be set by performing operations on the graphical objects, for instance, by selection by mouse click. Further, the relationships can be represented by changes in the display mode of the graphical objects. Thus, the invention enables the user to freely set the relationships between a plurality of windows and easily understand the relationships.
