Description

System for self-refueling

This creation is about a refueling system for refueling vehicles, and more specifically about a self-service refueling system that users can refuel by themselves.

Most current vehicles require gasoline or diesel as fuel for driving. Most gas stations on the market use manual refueling. The staff of the gas station refuels for the users of the vehicle. Therefore, personnel expenses have become a considerable cost in the operation of the gas station.

In order to solve the problem of high personnel costs at gas stations, some gas stations have partially adopted self-service refueling solutions, allowing vehicle users to operate refueling equipment on their own for refueling. However, the traditional self-service refueling solution requires the addition of several additional machines. The installation cost of adding several additional machines is high, and the repair and maintenance of these machines will also incur additional cost burdens from time to time, which is not conducive to the gas station. Operation. In addition, several additional machines are often difficult to operate or inconvenient for users of self-service refueling, which reduces the willingness of users to use self-service refueling equipment.

Therefore, how to reduce the use of unnecessary additional machines to reduce the operating cost of the gas station, and how to make the operation of self-service refueling more convenient to increase the user's willingness to use is a problem that needs to be solved in this field.

This creation proposes a self-service refueling system, which includes: a terminal computer device; a refueling device that communicates with the terminal computer device; and a server device that communicates with a user device and the terminal computer device ; The server device obtains the station data of a gas station and the user related data of the user, and after receiving a refueling confirmation message from the user device, it sends a refueling request to the terminal computer device, the terminal In response to the refueling request, the computer device unlocks the refueling device so as to allow a vehicle to perform self-refueling.

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing an embodiment of a refueling system 100 with a self-service refueling function. As shown in FIG. 1, the refueling system 100 includes a refueling device 101, a terminal computer device 102, a self-service refueling machine 103, and a self-service payment machine 104.

The refueling equipment 101 is a known refueling equipment that is permanently located in a gas station and is usually operated by a gas station employee. The terminal computer equipment 102 is also a permanent station of the gas station, and is used to communicate with the gas station 101 to control the gas station 101 or receive information from the gas station 101. In some embodiments, the terminal computer device 102 may be a Point of Sale (POS) system.

The self-service refueling machine 103 and the self-service payment machine 104 are additional machines added by gas stations to provide additional self-service refueling services. The self-service payment machine 104 is connected to the self-service refueling machine 103. Therefore, the self-service payment machine 104 can control the self-service refueling machine 103 via a connection, and the self-service refueling machine 103 can also transmit information to the self-service payment machine 104.

The self-service payment machine 104 can usually provide users with one or more payment methods. Therefore, the self-service payment machine 104 can include payment modules such as a card reader, a banknote/currency detector, an electronic payment reader, etc., depending on what the gas station wants to provide Which payment function depends on.

According to Figure 1, when a self-service refueling user uses the self-service payment machine 104, the user can use the self-service payment machine 104 to set the payment method to be used, the type of fuel to be refueled, the amount of fuel, and/or the amount, by using the self-service payment machine 104 After 104 starts the self-service refueling process, the self-service payment machine 104 instructs the self-service refueling machine 103 to unlock, so that the user can take out the oil gun of the corresponding self-service refueling machine 103 to perform self-service refueling. After the user completes the self-service refueling and hooks back the fuel gun, the self-service refueling machine 103 will send relevant information about the fuel type, fuel amount, and/or amount that has been refueled to the self-service payment machine 104 for the user to confirm And payment fees.

However, there are still many problems in using the above-mentioned self-service refueling system. First of all, in order to provide self-service refueling services, in addition to the existing refueling equipment and terminal computer equipment, the gas station also needs to add the self-service refueling machine and the self-service payment machine. The additional self-service refueling machine and self-service payment machine are usually high ( The stand-alone price of self-service gas dispensers and self-service payment machines on the market is usually hundreds of thousands of Taiwan dollars). The addition of these machines will cause a huge increase in the cost of gas station operations. Furthermore, when installing a self-service tanker, it is sometimes necessary to use underground engineering to modify the underground structure of the gas station, which is time-consuming and time-consuming and the public security requirements are extremely strict. What's more, self-service payment machines also need to be repaired or maintained from time to time. For example, the card reader in the self-service payment machine is often worn out due to use, and every time the card reader is abnormal, the user cannot make payment. The gas station needs to be repaired immediately every time there is an abnormality. What's more, self-service payment machines usually provide paper details and invoices, which require manpower to regularly supplement the details and the paper used in the invoice; some self-service payment machines provide cash payment and change functions, and manpower is required to regularly replenish banknotes or change in the machine. , The above-mentioned problems all cause additional manpower burden.

Furthermore, for self-service refueling users, after entering the refueling island of a gas station, the user must take the initiative to operate in front of the self-service payment machine to start the self-service refueling process. For the user, start the self-service refueling process. The process is not convenient in operation. Moreover, since the installation positions of the self-service refueling machines at different gas stations are also different, sometimes the user has to move between the self-service payment machine and the self-service refueling machine multiple times or long distances, or need to move between the two multiple times. Alternate operation, or need to wait for self-service payment machine response or printing of invoice receipt, etc., causing inconvenience to users. In addition, the models or configurations of the existing self-service payment machines in each gas station may be different, and the operation is not easy. The user must adapt to the operation of different self-service payment machines every time he enters a different gas station. It is extremely inconvenient and time-consuming for the user to enter and set the self-service payment machine every time. This not only causes inconvenience to users and increases the operating time of each user, but also reduces the number of visitors that can be received per unit time for the gas station, and reduces the service efficiency and revenue of the gas station.

Figure 5 shows a sequence diagram of a self-service fueling method according to some embodiments of the present creation.

The difference between Fig. 5 and Fig. 4 is that in Fig. 5, after the self-service refueling user’s vehicle enters the gas station with the self-service refueling system 200, there are one or more of the following situations: (1) The imaging device 204 The image is not captured or cannot be captured, (2) the imaging device 204 has captured the image but the image is not recognized or cannot be recognized or the recognition fails, (3) the imaging device 204 cannot capture the captured image and/ Or the identification result is sent to the server device 203, or (4) the imaging device 204 does not exist. In the above situation, the server device 203 cannot obtain site data and/or user-related data from the imaging device 204.

Therefore, in FIG. 5, after the vehicle of the self-service refueling user enters the gas station with the self-service refueling system 200, the server device 203 obtains the station information of the gas station from the user device 205, or from the user device 205 Obtain user-related information. According to some embodiments of the present invention, the user equipment 205 can use an application (APP) to transmit user-related data to the server equipment 203 through wired or wireless transmission. According to the embodiment shown in Figure 5 of the present invention, a self-service gas user can use the user device 205 to communicate with a gas station through Near-field communication (NFC), scan the two-dimensional bar code or four-dimensional bar code (QR code) of the gas station. -Code), or manually input, etc. to obtain the station data of the gas station, and send an entry record to the server device 203 through the obtained station data. After the server device 203 checks whether the self-service refueling can be enabled, if it can be enabled, it judges the station data and the user-related data, and sends a confirmation request to the user device 205 of the self-service refueling user. The judgment on the user-related data includes: finding the corresponding user through the user-related data including the license plate number, judging whether the user is a member, judging the user's payment eligibility, etc., and sending a confirmation request The user equipment 205 to the self-service refueling user includes issuing a vehicle entry notice to notify the user that the vehicle has entered the self-service refueling site.

In addition, this creation provides many advantages for self-refueling users. For example, in the traditional self-service refueling situation, after the user enters the gas station’s refueling island, the user must take the initiative to operate in front of the self-service payment machine to start the self-service refueling process. For the user, start self-service refueling The process is not convenient in operation. In addition, the installation positions of traditional self-service refueling machines in different gas stations are also different, sometimes causing users to move between the self-service payment machine and the self-service refueling machine multiple times or long distances, or need to move between two self-service refueling machines multiple times. Alternate operation between users, causing inconvenience to the user; in this creation, the license plate of the vehicle can be recognized by using the imaging device, so that the terminal computer equipment can actively send a notification to the user's user equipment (such as a mobile phone), so that it can start The self-service refueling process simplifies the operation of the user to start the self-service refueling process, which saves time and effort for the user. Moreover, in this creation, the user only needs to directly operate his user equipment (such as a mobile phone) in front of the self-service refueling machine at the gas station, and the user does not need to move multiple times at the gas station or interactively operate different machines. Furthermore, the models or configurations of the existing self-service payment machines in each gas station may be different, and the operation is not easy, and the user must adapt to the operation of different self-service payment machines every time they enter a different gas station, and Every time you use the self-service payment machine, you need to re-select the payment method, enter the unified number, set the invoice carrier, etc., which is extremely inconvenient and time-consuming for the user; in this creation, the user only needs to use his user device (such as mobile phone) The above steps can be omitted when the application is set once in the application, and the above steps can be omitted when the application is used again for self-refueling, which is more convenient, time-saving and labor-saving for the user. Moreover, the existing self-service refueling after the user finishes refueling, the user still has to go back to the self-service payment machine and wait for the printing of the invoice and receipt, etc., which takes extra time for the owner; in this creation, the user only needs to finish refueling After hooking up the oil gun, you can receive consumption details or invoices on the user's device (such as a mobile phone), and you can leave directly, which greatly reduces the user's waiting time. In addition, because this creation can simplify and speed up the user's self-service refueling process in the gas station, each user’s stay in the self-service gas station will also be shortened, and the gas station can also receive more guests per unit time. , To improve the service efficiency and revenue of gas stations.
