Classification: CPC H | IPC G  H

Claim 16:
17. A telemetric device associated with an asset, comprising:
a sensor configured to obtain a data sample that indicates a level or usage of a product within the asset;
at least one battery;
a wireless transmitter configured to transmit to a remote device;
a data storage, wherein the data storage stores at least one predetermined change value threshold and at least a previously transmitted data sample, wherein the previously transmitted data sample, or a representation thereof, has been included in a previous transmission to the remote device;
at least one processor, wherein the at least one processor is configured to cause the telemetric device to:
for each of a plurality of consecutive data samples:
obtaining at a predetermined time interval, a current one of the plurality of consecutive data samples, wherein the current one of the plurality of consecutive data samples indicates a current level or current usage of the product within the asset;
determining a current change value using at least the previously transmitted data sample stored in the data storage and the current one of the plurality of consecutive data samples;
comparing the current change value to the predetermined change value threshold;
when the current change value exceeds the predetermined change value threshold, determining to transmit the current one of the plurality of consecutive data samples, the current change value, or an interpretation of the current one of the plurality of consecutive data samples, to the remote server; and
when the current one of the plurality of subsequent data samples fails to exceed the predetermined change value threshold, determine to store the current change value and/or the current one of the plurality of consecutive data samples in the data storage without a transmission thereof to the remote server.
