Abstract

Système destiné à une station service automatisée et sans personnel où sont vendus et distribués des produits, principalement des carburants moteurs, à partir d'un poste de ravitaillement en carburant. Ce système comprend une pompe à essence (35), un lecteur de carte (51), des dispositifs de réception de pièces de monnaie et de billets (43, 45), un dispositif de vérification de carte (27), des distributeurs de pièces et de billets (47, 49), un dispositif d'impression de reçus (55), un processeur de commande (39), un dispositif (31) de sélection de carburant et d'activation de distribution, un dispositif d'affichage (57), un dispositif audio et un dispositif de transmission de données (33). Les composants du système coopèrent pour permettre à un client de sélectionner un produit ou un carburant spécifique à acheter au moyen de toute combinaison de pièces ou de billets, pour activer automatiquement la distribution du carburant, pour distribuer une quantité présélectionnée de carburant, pour produire un reçu de paiement au comptant ou par carte de crédit, et pour fournir toute autre information concernant d'autres produits en vente ou services proposés en vente au cours du procédé de distribution de carburant.
