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] With the advent of the internet of things, real-time communication is possible not only for humans but also for communicating with internet of things at anytime and from anywhere. It creates a plethora of innovative applications, and services that in turn would enhance quality of life and may reduce inequalities while providing new revenue opportunities for a host of enterprising businesses. In order to connect everyday objects and devices with large databases, and networks, and indeed to the network of networks (the internet), a simple, unobtrusive and cost-effective system of item identification is crucial for maintaining and displaying a data related to energy consumption in an efficient manner.
[0004] Further, with a rise in energy costs and more frequent disruptions in electric service have caused consumers to focus more attention on their energy usage and bills. A user is in a better situation to control energy more effectively when he has more information on the amount of energy that is being consumed. The More detailed information is available to a user, the more control on energy consumption is possible. From an energy provider's point of view also information is useful, for example, with detailed data being collected through the home energy information gateway, an energy provider will be able to predict more accurately when supply and demand imbalances may occur.
[0005] There have been many innovations in this regard, however existing systems utilise a plurality of RF transceivers for communicating in between an Automatic Meter Reading system, and an In home display device that may increase installation, manufacturing, and operational cost of the system.
[0006] To achieve the effective management of energy consumption by household appliances, there is a need to devise a solution that can act as a home energy information gateway, and provide a simple, cost effective, and efficient system that can display, and maintain a record of energy consumption in a wireless mode.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0018] The following is a detailed description of implementations of the disclosure depicted in the accompanying drawings. The implementations are in such detail as to communicate the disclosure. However, the amount of detail offered is not intended to limit the anticipated variations of implementations; on the contrary, the intention is to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the scope of the present disclosure as defined by the appended claims.
[0019] In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the implementations of the present invention. It will be apparent to one skilled in the art that implementations of the present invention may be practiced without some of these specific details.
[0020] The present disclosure pertains to a system that includes an energy meter that communicates with an Automatic Meter Reading system, and an In home display device that is configured with a second transceiver. In an aspect, the system may be configured with a single RF transceiver that can operate by switching one or more modes, a modulation, a frequency, a power for communication with any or a combination of In Home Display, an Automatic Meter Reading system through a Time division Multiplexing, a Frequency Division Multiplexing or any other similar method that may lead to a decrease in manufacturing, installation, and repairment cost of the system.
[0021] The system may be configured with a single RF transceiver by switching one or more modes, a modulation, a frequency, a power for communication with any or a combination of In Home Display, and Automatic Meter Reading system through Time division Multiplexing, a frequency Division Multiplexing or any other method.
[0022] Fig 1, illustrates an exemplary representation of block diagram of the system for display and record of energy consumption.
[0023] The system includes an energy meter 104 that may include a first transceiver operatively coupled with a in home display device 102 configured with a second transceiver. The first transceiver transmits a first signal to the second transceiver, where the first signal comprises a data regarding one or parameters indicative of an energy consumption by a user. In an implementation, the first transceiver may transmit a second signal to an automatic meter reading system 106 that stores a data regarding one or parameters indicative of an energy consumption.
[0024] In an implementation, the system includes the energy meter 104 that may communicate with an Automatic Meter Reading System 106, and an In home display device 102 that is configured with the second transceiver. Thus, the system may operate using a single RF transceiver by switching one or more modes, a modulation, a frequency, a power for communication with any or a combination of the In Home Display device 102, the Automatic Meter Reading System 106 through any or a combination of Time division Multiplexing, a frequency Division Multiplexing or any other similar method that may lead to a decrease in manufacturing, installation, and repairment cost of the system 100.

[0026] In an implementation , the system 100 is configured to operate using a frequency switching, and Time division Multiplexing that are managed by a firmware, where the firmware may switch a transceiver’s frequency at a predetermined periodic interval. For an instance, the periodic interval may be set at 100mS, where at first instance of 100mS the transceiver communicates with an Automatic Meter Reading system 106 at frequency F1, and at second instance, the transceiver communicates with the In Home Display device 102 at frequency F2.
