Electricity provider content platform
A system for providing access to a content platform of an electricity provider comprises an interface operable to receive a request to access content from a content platform of an electricity provider from a communication device, one or more processors communicatively coupled to the interface, the one or more processors operable to determine, based on the received request, a display format for the communication device from a plurality of display formats, convert content from the content platform in the determined display format of the communication device, and the interface further operable to communicate the content to the communication device.
1. A system for providing access to a content platform of an electricity provider, comprising:
an interface operable to:
receive a request to access content of a content platform of an electricity provider from a communication device;
receive a proposed change in electricity consumption of an appliance from the communication device;
one or more processors communicatively coupled to the interface, the one or more processors operable to:
determine, based on the received request, a display format for the communication device from a plurality of display formats;
convert content from the content platform in the determined display format of the communication device;
determine a predicted change in electricity charges based on the proposed change; and
the interface further operable to:
communicate the content in the determined display format to the communication device; and
communicate the predicted change in electricity charges to the communication device.
2. The system of claim 1 , the interface further operable to receive a request to change the electricity consumption of the appliance from the communication device; and
the one or more processors further operable to execute the requested change in the electricity consumption of the appliance.
3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the appliance is one from the set comprising: a smart electric meter, a thermostat, a water heater, a smart plug, and a pool pump.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of display formats includes one or more from the set comprising: an Android™ compatible format, an iOS™ compatible format, a Windows Phone™ compatible format, a BlackBerry OS™ compatible format, a mobile web compatible format, and a standard web compatible format.
5. The system of claim 1 , the one or more processors further operable to:
determine that a billing change has occurred on an account serviced by the content platform that is associated with the communication device;
generate a push message comprising an option to post a description of the billing change on a social network; and
the interface further operable to communicate the push message to the communication devices.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the remote device is from the set comprising: a smartphone, a tablet, laptop computer, and desktop computer.
7. A computer-readable medium comprising logic for providing access to a content platform of an electricity provider, the logic, when executed by a processor, operable to:
receive a request to access content of a content platform of an electricity provider from a communication device;
receive a proposed change in electricity consumption of an appliance from the communication device;
determine, based on the received request, a display format for the communication device from a plurality of display formats;
convert content from the content platform in the determined display format of the communication device;
determine a predicted change in electricity charges based on the proposed change;
communicate the content in the determined display format to the communication device; and
communicate the predicted change in electricity charges to the communication device.
8. The computer-readable medium of claim 7 , the logic further operable to:
receive a request to change the electricity consumption of the appliance from the communication device; and
execute the requested change in the electricity consumption of the appliance.
9. The computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the appliance is one from the set comprising: a smart electric meter, a thermostat, a water heater, a smart plug, and a pool pump.
10. The computer-readable medium of claim 7 , wherein the plurality of display formats includes one or more from the set comprising: an Android™ compatible format, an iOS™ compatible format, a Windows Phone™ compatible format, a BlackBerry OS™ compatible format, a mobile web compatible format, and a standard web compatible format.
11. The computer-readable medium of claim 7 , the logic further operable to:
determine that a billing change has occurred on an account serviced by the content platform that is associated with the communication device;
generate a push message comprising an option to post a description of the billing change on a social network; and
communicate the push message to the communication devices.
12. A method for providing access to a content platform of an electricity provider, comprising:
receiving a request to access content of a content platform of an electricity provider from a communication device;
determining, by one or more processors, based on the received request, a display format for the communication device from a plurality of display formats;
receiving a proposed change in electricity consumption of an appliance from the communication device;
determining, by the one or more processors, a predicted change in electricity charges based on the proposed change;
rendering, by the one or more processors, content from the content platform in the determined display format of the communication device; and
communicating the predicted change in electricity charges to the communication device, wherein the predicted change is communicated to the communication device in the determined display format of the communication device.
13. The method of claim 12 , further comprising:
receiving a request to change the electricity consumption of the appliance from the communication device; and
executing, by the one or more processors, the requested change in the electricity consumption of the appliance.
14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the appliance is one from the set comprising: a smart electric meter, a thermostat, water heater, a smart plug, and a pool pump.
15. The method of claim 12 , wherein the plurality of display formats includes one or more from the set comprising: an Android™ compatible format, an iOS™ compatible format, a Windows Phone™ compatible format, a BlackBerry OS™ compatible format, a mobile web compatible format, and a standard web compatible format.
16. The method of claim 12 , further comprising:
determining, by the one or more processors, that a billing change has occurred on an account serviced by the content platform that is associated with the communication device;
generating, by the one or more processors, a push message comprising an option to post a description of the billing change on a social network; and
communicating the push message to the communication devices.
17. The method of claim 12 , wherein the remote device is from the set comprising: a smartphone, a tablet, laptop computer, and desktop computer.
