Assignee: SILICON CONTROLS PTY LTD.
Field: Telecommunications (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC G  H

Claim 0:
1. A battery powered telemetric device associated with an asset, comprising:
a sensor configured to obtain a data sample indicative of a level or usage of a product within the asset;
at least one battery;
a wireless transmitter configured to transmit to a remote device;
data storage, wherein the data storage stores a 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 battery powered telemetric device to:
obtain a current data sample from the sensor, wherein the current data sample indicates a current level or current usage of the product within the asset;
determine a current change value using the current data sample and the previously transmitted data sample stored in the data storage;
compare the current change value to the predetermined change value threshold;
when the current change value exceeds the predetermined change value threshold, determine to transmit one or more of the current data sample, the current change value, or an interpretation of the current data sample, to the remote server; and
when the current change value fails to exceed the predetermined change value threshold, determine to store the current change value and/or the current data sample in the data storage without a transmission thereof to the remote server.
