Description

A SCREEN FOR A FUEL DISPENSING UNIT, A METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SUCH A SCREEN, AND A COMPUTER PROGRAM
Technical field
The invention relates to a screen for a fuel dispensing unit, a method for manufacturing such a screen, and a computer program. Background art
A fuel dispensing unit, such as a petrol pump typically comprises a pump part standing on the ground, a display part positioned on or near the pump part and showing the chosen type of petrol, cash readout, volume readout etc., and a column to which one or more petrol hoses are connected.
When the tank of a vehicle is to be filled up, the driver parks the vehicle beside the petrol pump and opens the cover or cap of the petrol tank. The driver then selects the desired type of petrol using the display part and places the pump nozzle in the inlet of the vehicle's petrol tank and puts in the desired volume of petrol.
The display part typically includes a user interface on a screen via which a user may input his/her selections. The user interface may include push buttons via which a user may select the desired type of fuel, and pay for the fuel when the refuelling is completed. A disadvantage with such
conventional push buttons is that they are expensive to produce and are non- flexible when it comes to configuration with respect to different situations and requirements. Further, the fuel companies may want to custom-make the user interface of the fuel dispensing unit depending on the conditions for the same. For example, one fuel company may want to configure the user interface to look in one way with respect to e.g. colour, size and position of the buttons, while another fuel company wants to configure the user interface to appear completely different.
Summary of the invention
It is an object of the present invention to provide an improvement of prior art. A particular object is to provide an effective method to custom-make a screen for a fuel dispensing unit. According to a first aspect, these and other objects, and/or advantages that will be apparent from the following description of embodiments, are achieved, in full or at least in part, by a screen for a fuel dispensing unit. The screen comprises a plate having a printed pattern indicating a user interface, and a circuit board being located behind the back side of the plate, the circuit board comprising at least one capacitive element being adapted to detect a user input of the user interface. The screen is characterized in that the printed pattern is based on information from a configuration data file. The position of the printed user interface on the plate is configurable. In more detail, a customer (such as a fuel company) may design its own screen with respect to e.g. colour, size, and position of the buttons on the screen. The design may be inputted via a computer and may be stored in a configuration data file. The configuration data file may then be used by the manufacturer when printing the plate of the screen. More specifically, the plate of the screen is printed in accordance with the configuration data file such that colour, size and/or position of the user interface are in accordance with the configuration data file. In this way, the screen may easily be configured with respect to different client needs and requirements. Further, the expensive conventional push buttons may be avoided since the user interface is printed directly on the plate of the screen.
According to a second aspect, the objects are achieved by a method for manufacturing a screen for a fuel dispensing unit. The method comprises receiving a configuration data file specifying a printed pattern indicating the desired properties for a user interface of the screen, printing the pattern on a plate of the screen based on the based on information from the received configuration data file, and arranging a circuit board behind a back side of the plate of the screen, the circuit board comprising at least one capacitive element being adapted to detect a user input of the user interface.
According to a third aspect, the objects are achieved by a computer program product. The computer program product comprises a computer program code stored on a computer-readable storage medium which, when executed on a processor, carries out the steps of accessing a configuration data file containing information that specifies a printed pattern indicating the desired properties for a user interface of the screen, retrieving the information from the configuration data file, and providing the information to a device for printing the pattern on the plate of the screen.
Other objectives, features and advantages of the present invention will appear from the following detailed disclosure, from the attached claims, as well as from the drawings. It is noted that the invention relates to all possible combinations of features.
Generally, all terms used in the claims are to be interpreted according to their ordinary meaning in the technical field, unless explicitly defined otherwise herein.

Brief description of the drawings
The above, as well as additional objects, features and advantages of the present invention, will be better understood through the following illustrative and non-limiting detailed description of embodiments of the present invention, with reference to the appended drawings, where the same reference numerals may be used for similar elements, and wherein:
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a payment terminal comprising a screen according to one embodiment of the invention,
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the payment terminal in Fig. 1 ,
Fig. 3 is a block diagram of an exemplary set up for the method of manufacturing said screen, and
Fig. 4 illustrates a network for using the method of manufacturing said screen.
Detailed description of preferred embodiments of the invention
Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 illustrate a payment terminal 1 for a fuel dispensing unit (not shown). The payment terminal 1 has a screen 2 with a user interface 3 which is used by the customer to select the desired type of fuel and to pay for the fuel when the refuelling process is completed. The screen 2 has a plate 4 with a front side 5 and a back side 6. The back side 6 comprises a printed pattern 7 indicating the actual user interface 3. Behind the back side 6, a circuit board 8 is being placed. The circuit board 8 comprises a capacitive element 9 consisting of a grid which is adapted to detect a user input of the user interface 3. The printed pattern 7 is based on information from a configuration data file when it is manufactured. Thus, the properties of the user interface 3 are specified by the configuration data file. Such properties may for example consist of a position, colour, and size of the user interface. The circuit board 8 is in turn connected to a control unit (not shown) of the fuel dispensing unit which operates the same based on the user input of the user interface 3 detected by the capacitive element 9. The circuit board 8 and the control unit are also connected to an antenna (not shown) which may identify a specific input from a user and/or a component of the fuel dispensing unit. Such a specific input could for example consist of credit card information from a customer or pump information from a fluid meter of the fluid dispensing unit.
When the screen 2 is to be manufactured the steps of receiving the configuration data file specifying the printed pattern 7 indicating the desired properties for the user interface 3 of the screen 2, printing the pattern 7 on the plate 4 of the screen 2 based on information from the received configuration data file, and arranging the circuit board 8 behind the back side 6 of the plate
4 of the screen 2, are performed. The circuit board 8 comprises at least one capacitive element 9 which is adapted to detect any user input of the user interface 3. The pattern 7 is normally printed on the back side 6 of the plate 4 of the screen 2. This is advantageous in that the actual printed pattern 7 will be protected inside the screen 2 and cannot be stained or tampered with from the outside of the screen 2. Further, when the plate 4 is mounted in the screen 2, it is preferably glued on its front side 5 and attached against a frame of the screen 2. This leaves the back side 6 completely free and the back side 6 of the plate 4 may accordingly be printed on even after the plate 4 has been mounted into the screen 2. In Fig. 3, a block diagram of an exemplary set up for a method of manufacturing the plate 4 for the screen 2, is illustrated. The method is carried out by means computer program product comprising a computer program code specifying the method. The first step of the method is to access the configuration data file containing information that specifies the printed pattern 7 indicating the desired properties for the user interface 3 of the screen 2. The second step of the method is to retrieve the information from the configuration data file. The final step of the method is to input the information to a device 10 for printing the pattern 7 on the plate 4 of the screen 2. The information may be inputted to the configuration data file by a customer with access to the same. This way, as illustrated in Fig. 4, the customer will be able to access the configuration data file from a location remote from the manufacturing location and input the information that specifies the printed pattern 7 indicating the desired properties for the user interface 3 of the screen 2. The information is then used by the manufacturer according to above in order to manufacture the plate 4 for the screen 2.
Thereafter, the control unit must be programmed in order to align the capacitive element 9 with the user interface 3 indicated by the printed pattern 7.
The skilled person realizes that a number of modifications of the embodiments described herein are possible without departing from the scope of the invention, which is defined in the appended claims.
For instance, the size, shape and number of the different components of the screen may be varied in any suitable way.
The screen may be used as described above but may also be used as any other suitable type of customer interface. It may be placed on a payment terminal or directly on a fluid dispensing unit as well as at any other suitable place.
