Abstract
Resource providers that provide a resource (e.g., electricity) to customers often have programs that operate to save customers money or otherwise benefit the customers. Traditionally, customers enroll in these programs by assenting to enroll in combination with providing that customer's account number. For various reasons, requiring the customer to provide his or her account number dramatically reduces the number of customers that ultimately sign up for a program. Accordingly, customer's willing to sign up for programs offered by the resource provider can do so without the need to give a customer number. Rather, the necessary information can be determined based on an image of the customer's meter.
