Further developments and advantageous embodiments are specified in the subclaims.

The computer program product according to the invention assigns a tanker end to a gas station for transactions between the tanker end and the gas station. The computer program product is designed to be loaded into a memory of a computer. The computer program product has software code sections with which, as transactions of the tanker end, a first tank filling of the tanker at a first time, an identification of the tanker at the first time, an identification of the gas station used by the tanker for a refueling at the first time and first time to be read. Further, with the software code sections as gas station transactions, a fuel dispensing amount of the gas station at a second time and the second time will be read. As a further transaction of the tanker ends, the software code sections are used to read in a second tank filling of the tanker at a third point in time and the third point in time. With the software code sections are in dependence of a match of the difference between the second and first tank filling with the fuel delivery amount, depending on a match of the labeling of the tanker at the third time with the labeling of the tanker at the first time and depending on the labeling of the gas station of the tank end Gas station attributable. For this purpose, the computer is connected to a network as a second network subscriber for reading in the transactions which are provided by the refueling station and the filling station as first network subscribers. The computer program runs on the computer connected to the network.

The following definitions apply to the terms used in the invention.

Computer program products typically include a sequence of instructions that cause the hardware, when the program is loaded, to perform a particular procedure that results in a particular result. When the computer program product according to the invention is used on a computer, the computer program product causes a technical effect, namely in transactions between the computer program product Tankenden and the gas station that, in particular the reversibly unique, assigning the tanker end to the gas station. Reversibly unique has the mathematical meaning of bijective. The computer program product thus provides a technical solution, in particular for transactions in networks, in order to allocate the parties involved in the transactions to one another.

A memory is a medium for backing up data.

A computer is a device for processing data that can process data by means of programmable calculation rules. For example, a desktop PC, a laptop, or a mobile device, such as a smartphone, is a computer.

Software is a collective term for programs and related data. The complement to software is hardware. Hardware refers to the mechanical and electronic alignment of a data processing system.

The tanker is a customer of the gas station. A gas station is a facility where vehicles are supplied with fuels, preferably with gasoline, diesel, gas, in particular LPG, hydrogen and / or electricity. The supply takes place at petrol pumps, through which the fuel is discharged. The tanker end is in particular the vehicle, preferably an automated vehicle. By means of the computer program product according to the invention, the refueling station can not be unambiguously assigned to the refueling station. Additionally, refueling of the vehicle is automated without human interaction. The refueling station has a tanker robot for an automated refueling operation, such as an automated dispenser having means, such as a camera or other environment sensing sensors, to detect access to the refueling tank of the refueling station and a fuel dispenser of the refueling station, for example a fuel nozzle, automated in to introduce the access to automate the refueling process. Refueling then takes place between the vehicle and the gas station without human interaction. Assigning the refueling stations to the filling station means, in particular, that the refueling end of the refueling station at which the refueling operation takes place can be clearly and irreversibly assigned.

A transaction is an exchange or transfer of information, such as values or data, goods and / or technical acts. For example, a transaction is a transfer process in which goods and receivables are transferred between business entities. A money transfer is a transaction. For a money transfer, a transaction amount is the amount of money in this money transfer. A refueling process is also a transaction.

A tank filling of the tanker is the current level of a fuel tank of the tanker. In the fuel tank, the fuel is stored for operating a drive unit of the tanker end.

A label of the tanker end is an address that is assigned to the tanker end. The labeling enables the tanker end to be addressed in a network. In the event that a network device is uniquely assigned to the tanker end and the tanker end is connected to the Internet with this network device, then the label of the tanker end is the Internet Protocol address of this network device.

The third time follows on the second time. The second time follows at the first time.

Similarly, an identification of the gas station is an address that is assigned to the gas station. In particular, a gas pump of a gas station on its own labeling, resulting, for example, from the labeling of this gas station and a number of the pump. On the basis of assigned numbers, it is possible to differentiate between several fuel dispensers of a petrol station. In order to improve the classification, the labeling of the filling station can also be checked at the second and third time points.

The fuel dispensing amount is the amount of fuel dispensed at the gas station, preferably via a dispenser, to the tank end, preferably in its fuel tank.

A network is a system of connections between individual network participants. The network participants are in particular computers. A computer-to-computer connection, where all computers are connected and peer-to-peer, is called peer-to-peer connection. A computer-computer network in which all computers are connected to each other on an equal basis is called a peer-to-peer network. A network participant in a peer-to-peer network is called node, in English Node. The opposite of a peer-to-peer network is a client-server network in which a central server offers a service and a client uses this service.

First network participants only send and receive transactions. Second network participants can compare to the first Network participants validate transactions, ie check for validity or legitimacy. For this purpose, the second network participants are designed to perform special validation processes.

By checking whether the difference between the second and first tank filling coincides with the fuel delivery amount, it is checked whether the amount of fuel supplied to the tank ends corresponds to the amount of fuel delivered by the filling station. About the times and the respective labeling of the tanker and the gas station, the amount of fuel delivered to the tanker ends clearly assigned. About the labeling of the gas station is determined at which gas station, in particular at which gas station of the gas station, the tank ends the amount of fuel delivered was supplied. So there is an adjustment, that is a match, between the different data from the transactions, ie labels, fuel quantities and times. With this match, the refueling station of the gas station is advantageously simple, in particular reversibly unique, assignable. As further data, for example, the type of fuel delivered can be utilized. This improves the assignment. For example, if the second tank of a refueling tank is 60 liters and the first tank is full 10 Liters, and the tanker refueled fuel A , and is the actual fuel dispensing amount 50 Liters, and becomes fuel A delivered, then the difference between the second and first tank filling coincides with the fuel delivery and the fuel type. If, in addition, the marking of the tanker at the third time coincides with the marking of the tanker at the first point in time, then the delivered fuel quantity of 50 liters is clearly attributable to the tanker. If the marking of the filling station, in particular the gas pump of the gas station, which dispenses the amount of fuel, correct, then it is clearly assignable that the end of the tank 50 Liters of fuel from this pump.

The software code sections preferably have a probability algorithm for determining, in the case of a deviation of the difference between the second and first tank fill from the fuel delivery amount as a function of a match of the tank end identification at the third time point, with the tank end marking at the first point in time and preferably depending on the marking Gas station to provide a balance of the tanker at the third time with the tanker at the first time as a probability result. This is particularly advantageous if, due to measurement inaccuracies, errors in the fuel delivery or other external influences emitted at the second time fuel delivery amount of the difference between the second and first tank filling. The probability algorithm then indicates a probability that expresses how likely it is that the end of the tank is at the first time of the tank end at the third time. Is the first tank filling for example 10 Liters, the second tank filling 50 Liters and the fuel dispensing quantity of the gas station 60 Liter, that is 20 Liters more than the difference of 40 Liters between first and second tank filling, then it is unlikely that the 60 Liters at the tankers with the difference of 40 Liters were fed. This probability outputs the probability algorithm.

In a further development, the software code sections have a consensus algorithm for validating the transactions.

The consensus algorithm runs a validation process and verifies that the transactions are true, true transactions. This check is performed by a second network participant and verified by other second network participants. The consensus algorithm ensures that transactions from third parties, especially from computer intruders, ie hackers, can not be manipulated. If a transaction has been validated by the consensus algorithm, a network participant may change the legitimacy of that transaction. An example of a consensus algorithm is the proof-of-work algorithm, which identifies transactions with a hash value and references to a previous transaction. A hash value is a value of a hash function, that is an image that maps a large input quantity, for example a text, to a smaller target quantity, for example a number, preferably a hexadecimal number. Other examples of consensus algorithms include proof-of-authority, proof-of-stake, proof-of-activity, proof-of-burn, proof-of-capacity, and the proof-of-elapsed-time algorithm. The proof-of-authority algorithm is particularly advantageous. In contrast to the proof-of-work algorithm, where several second network participants in a contest validate transactions and thus consume much computational power, the proof-of-authority algorithm uses a predetermined number of second network participants, so-called authorities, to validate transactions , The currently existing authorities decide at any time in which a new network participant is to be added to the network, whether this new network participant is actually added to the network, in particular as the first or second network participant.

The transaction system according to the invention is executed, a tank ends to a Assign gas station for transactions between the tanker and the gas station. The transaction system has a network. The network has first network participants. The first network subscribers send the transactions of the first network subscribers to the other network subscribers and receive the transactions of the other network subscribers. Furthermore, the transaction system has at least one first network device. The first network device receives a connection for the tanker end as one of the first network participants to the network. In addition, the transaction system has at least one second network device. The second network device receives a port for the gas station as another of the first network subscribers to the network. The transaction system is characterized by the combination of the following features:

• At least one second network subscriber receiving transactions of the first network subscribers and validating the transactions of the first network subscribers,
• A third network device, which receives at least one of the second network participants,
• The first network device is configured to send, as transactions of the tanker, a first tank filling of the tanker at a first time, an identification of the tanker at the first time, an identification of the gas station at the first time and the first time to the second network user,
• The second network device is configured as transactions of the service station sending a fuel dispensing amount of the gas station at a second time and the second time to the second network subscriber,
• The first network device is designed to send a second tank fill of the tank end at a third time and the third time to the second network subscriber as another transaction of the tank end, and

  • ◯ depending on a coincidence of the marking of the tanker at the third time with the marking of the tanker at the first time and
  • Zuzu depending on the marking of the filling station, assigned to the tanker ends of the filling station.

A network device is an electronic device that provides a connection, wireless or wired, to a network. The network device has, for example, a WLAN interface or a LAN socket. For example, a computer has a network device.

By comparing, that is a match, between the different data from the transactions, so labels, fuel quantities and times, the tank end is identified without further input from the gas station, in particular the pump. On the basis of this match, the payment for the delivered fuel quantity is clearly executable.

Advantageously, in the transaction system, the second network subscriber is configured to execute a computer program product according to the invention. This improves the association with probability information and / or transaction validation using a consensus algorithm.

In one development of the transaction system, the network is designed to generate a blockchain. The second network participants are executed to validate the transactions using the blockchain.

A blockchain is a decentralized database. The blockchain is implemented in a network, in particular a peer-to-peer network. The blockchain is stored on several network memories, that is not stored centrally. All network participants can view the blockchain. Examples of a blockchain are the Hyperledger Fabric and Ethereum. Hyperledger Fabric was implemented by IBM in the Hyperledger project. Hyperledger is an open source project of the Linux Foundation, in which industrial companies develop blockchain based databases. Ethereum is a blockchain that can execute smart contracts, meaning smart contracts. An intelligent contract is a computer program that depicts contracts, verifies and / or technically supports the negotiation and / or execution of a contract. Hyperledger Fabric can also run smart contracts. The blockchain groups transactions into blockchain structures, the blocks. Each new block contains a hash value of the predecessor block as part of its data structure. With hash values, the transactions are cryptographically encrypted. This will chained each new block to the previous block. This encryption of the blocks increases the security of transactions using blockchain. A computer intruder wishing to manipulate information in a particular block must have the information in that particular block and in all Manipulate predecessor blocks so that his manipulation is not recognized. A new block is chained by the second network participants to the blockchain. One of the second network participants carries out a validation process, for example a proof-of-authority algorithm. The other second network participants verify this validation process. When a transaction is validated and verified, it is transmitted to all network subscribers, preferably as a broadcast. This shows all the transactions added to the blockchain for all network subscribers. Benefits of Blockchain are in particular decentralization, near immutability and transparency.

Preferably, the refueling end has a wallet program and the network devices are designed to execute the wallet program to settle the transactions with the wallet program.

A wallet program is a computer program whose execution provides a personal digital wallet, preferably in a digital currency. The wallet program is designed as a mobile application, for example. The wallet program runs on the network. Digital currencies are digital means of payment. In digital payment methods, cryptography principles are applied to realize a distributed, decentralized and secure payment system. Digital currencies are also called cryptocurrency. An example of a cryptocurrency is Bitcoin.

In a vehicle that is designed to execute a wallet program, for example by means of a vehicle internal evaluation device, no human interaction is required for a payment process for a service received.

Advantageously, the first network device is part of a driver assistance system of a land vehicle.

A land vehicle is a vehicle that travels mostly on land. A car is a land vehicle.

A driver assistance system is a system comprising an evaluation device, surroundings detection sensors and, preferably mechatronic, vehicle actuators for longitudinal and transverse control of the vehicle. In dependence on data of the surroundings detection sensors, preferably a fusion of the data of individual environment detection sensors, the evaluation device perceives the environment and assists or automates the driving by environmental perception dependent signals to the vehicle actuators. Driver assistance systems, in particular evaluation devices of driver assistance systems, generally have a network interface. Thus, no additional first network device is required for the vehicle.

Also according to the invention is a use of a transaction system according to the invention in at least two oppositely arranged filling stations and a refueling station at one of the two refueling stations. Such use improves the allocation of the tanker at adjacent gas stations.

By means of the transaction method according to the invention, a tanker is assigned to a filling station in transactions between the tanker and the filling station. The transaction procedure takes place with a network of first and second network subscribers. The first network subscribers send the transactions of the first network subscribers to the other network subscribers and receive the transactions of the other network subscribers. For the tanker end, a connection is obtained as a first network subscriber. For the gas station, a connection is obtained as another first network subscriber. The transaction procedure is characterized by the combination of the following method steps:

• • detecting the gas station from the tanker at a first time,
• As tanker end transactions, providing a tanker first tank fill at the first time, a tanker end label at the first time, a gas station label at the first time, and the first time from the tanker end for the network;
• • starting a refueling operation at the filling station, whereby the refueling station recognizes the refueling station depending on the marking of the refueling station provided for the network,
• • termination of the refueling process at a second time,
• As gas station transactions, providing a fuel dispensing amount from the gas station at the second time and the second time for the network,
• As further tanker end transactions, providing a second tank fill of the tanker at a third time, marking the tanker at the third time, and the third time from the tanker end for the network,
• Receiving and validating the transactions of the first network subscribers from the second network subscribers, and
• • depending on a match
  • ◯ from the difference between the second and first tank filling with the fuel delivery quantity and
  • ◯ from the marking of the tanker at the third point in time with the marking of the tanker at the first point in time and
  • ◯ depending on the labeling of the filling station
• • Assign the tanker end to the gas station.

Providing a tank fill means that the tanker sends the current tank fill to the network. For example, a sensor for measuring the tank filling, for example a floating body, is arranged in the fuel tank of the tank end. Analogously, providing a fuel dispensing amount means that the gas station sends the dispensed amount of fuel to the network.

Thus, in addition to a transaction system, the invention also provides a transaction method with which the refueling end can be assigned to a refueling station at the refueling station, in particular the refueling station used for refueling. The assignment is in particular reversibly unique.

The fuel dispensing amount may also be provided by the service station to the network at a later time than the second time, but preferably before the third time.

Preferably, a transaction system according to the invention is used to carry out the transaction procedure.
