, Description:
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of control system and electronic security system. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a smart pump controller and a security system for the pump controller.

BACKGROUND
[0002] Background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[0003] Water is an essential part of our life. It is used for a variety of purposes ranging from bathing and cleaning processes to drinking and irrigation purposes. In developed first world countries, private water developers and water agencies have reservoirs to store and distribute water to every corner. However, this is not the case in many countries around the world. Most of the world populations do not have access to water supply. In many developing countries, people spend so much time in carrying water from a distinct place because they do not have nearby water sources.
[0004] Countries like India are dependent mostly on monsoon/rain water or underground water for day to day purposes and agriculture purposes mainly. However, water tankers and pipes are being used to transport water from a distinct place to desired locations, but these often do not have enough water pressure to supply water to the rooftop water tanks and agricultural lands.
[0005] In most of the parts of India, people rely on personal water pumps to move water from the ground level to the roof level and agricultural lands. Water pumps are installed far away on water well etc, and it is very difficult to monitor the pump as they are installed at a far away distance from the user. It is also a difficult task for farmers or users of pump to go to the installed water pumps located at a distant location from their houses, for tuning ON and OFF the pump.
[0006] Various conventional pump controllers are present in the market that can at least turn ON and turn OFF the electric water pump from a distance location. These conventional pump controllers are configured with the pump installed at the location where the pump is installed, and theses pump controller are provided with electrical wire extending up to the farmer’s or user’s houses for turning ON and OFF the pump.
[0007] These conventional pump controllers allow turning ON, turning OFF and resetting the pump. However, it is required to monitor the pump parameters for efficient and safe usage of the pump and the pump controller, in case a fault in the pump occurs. It must also control the operating parameters of the pump and the pump controller from a remote location.
[0008] As the pump controller and pump are located at a far location from farmers or user, the thieves have a good chance to steal these electric water pumps and pump controller. These losses of pump and pump controller will be a great loss for small scale farmers in terms of money as well as agricultural production loss.
[0009] There is therefore need in the art to develop a smart pump controller and a security system for the pump controller to overcome the above-mentioned and other limitations of the existing solutions and utilized technique.
[00010] As used in the description herein and throughout the claims that follow, the meaning of “a,” “an,” and “the” includes plural reference unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. Also, as used in the description herein, the meaning of “in” includes “in” and “on” unless the context clearly dictates otherwise.
[00011] Groupings of alternative elements or embodiments of the invention disclosed herein are not to be construed as limitations. Each group member can be referred to and claimed individually or in any combination with other members of the group or other elements found herein. One or more members of a group can be included in, or deleted from, a group for reasons of convenience and/or patentability. When any such inclusion or deletion occurs, the specification is herein deemed to contain the group as modified thus fulfilling the written description of all groups used in the appended claims.

[00090] In an embodiment, the operation can include a step 326 of blocking the access to the pump controller, if the encrypted password in the step 324 matches the encrypted password of step 322.
[00091] In an embodiment, all registered users get authority to access the unit any time. But whenever a non-registered user tries to access the unit, then a security code is sent to master’s number and that non-registered number has to send back that same code to the unit. This phenomenon works only if unit is configured to ‘Level 1’ security. And if unit is in ‘Level 0’ security and a non-registered user knows the login SMS, then he directly gets access to unit. No security code is require
