Abstract
A utility meter is able to receive programs for adding functionality to the meter over a computer network. The meter includes an interpreter for executing an interpretive language program and a computer network access port for receiving an interpretive language program from another computer over a computer network. The interpreter executes the interpretive language program to provide a meter function for the utility meter. In one embodiment, the interpreter is a Java Virtual Machine that interprets Java applets or Java scripts. The ability to write meter functions in a machine independent language such as Java or Active X enables utility customers to write and download additional functionality to meters over the Internet without requiring the meter manufacturer to develop a meter function program.
