Description

本発明は、計量機を含む給油所機器とＰＯＳ端末やパーソナルコンピュータとの間でデータ通信を容易にする給油所システムに関するものである。   The present invention relates to a gas station system that facilitates data communication between a gas station device including a weighing machine and a POS terminal or a personal computer.

従来、給油所には自動車に燃料油を供給する計量機とともに、給油設定等のデータ入力用の外設機、給油料金に対する釣銭を処理するための釣銭機、洗車機、あるいは地下タンクの残量を管理するための油面計等の給油所機器が設置されている。このような計量機を含む給油所機器は、販売データ管理を行うＰＯＳ端末に送受信可能に接続されている。本出願人は、計量機である給油装置及び洗車機にＰＯＳ端末が接続された給油所システムに関する技術を開示している（例えば、特許文献１を参照）。
特開２００３−９５４００号公報（第１〜７ページ、第１及び２図） Conventionally, fuel stations have fuel meters for vehicles, external devices for data input such as refueling settings, change machines for handling changes to refueling fees, car wash machines, or the remaining capacity of underground tanks. Gas station equipment such as an oil level gauge is installed to manage the facilities. Gas station equipment including such a weighing machine is connected to a POS terminal for managing sales data so as to be able to transmit and receive. The present applicant discloses a technique related to a fueling station system in which a POS terminal is connected to a fueling device and a car wash machine that are measuring machines (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
JP 2003-95400 A (pages 1 to 7, FIGS. 1 and 2)

従来の給油所システムにおいては、ＰＯＳ端末は、計量機や外設機、釣銭機、洗車機等の給油所機器とデータ送受信するために、給油所設備の業界におけるデータ通信網の規格であるサービスステーション用ＬＡＮ（ＳＳ−ＬＡＮ）で接続されている。一方、近年の給油所では、多数の計量機や給油所機器が配置されたり、コンビニエンスストアが併設された大規模給油所の出現に対し、給油データの送受信に加え、精算業務に関するデータの送受信が多くなり、ＰＯＳ端末の使用頻度が増加する傾向にある。しかし、従来のＳＳ−ＬＡＮでは、ＰＯＳ端末を主局、計量機等を従局とした通信であるため、ＰＯＳ端末を1台しか設けることができず、複数台のＰＯＳ端末が計量機等を制御することができなかった。そのため、1台のＰＯＳ端末が故障した場合等に復旧するまでシステムを停止する問題が生じることがあった。   In a conventional gas station system, a POS terminal is a service that is a data communication network standard in the gas station equipment industry in order to send and receive data to and from gas station equipment such as weighing machines, external machines, change machines, and car wash machines. They are connected via a station LAN (SS-LAN). On the other hand, in recent gas stations, in response to the emergence of large-scale gas stations where a large number of measuring machines and gas station equipment are installed or a convenience store is added, in addition to the transmission / reception of refueling data, the transmission / reception of data related to settlement operations is also performed. The frequency of use of POS terminals tends to increase. However, in the conventional SS-LAN, since communication is performed with the POS terminal as the master station and the weighing machine as the slave station, only one POS terminal can be provided, and multiple POS terminals control the weighing machine, etc. I couldn't. Therefore, there has been a problem that the system is stopped until one POS terminal breaks down or the like.

However, since a conventional POS terminal at a gas station has an SS-LAN, a communication control process different from the standard Ethernet (registered trademark) communication process in a personal computer is required. Communication was made between weighing machines and gas station equipment by installing or externally installing the board.

In this way, transmission / reception is performed. In the case of a message related to refueling data from the measuring machine 13, the gas station information communication network device management unit 23 determines that the message is related to refueling data, and the message is transmitted to the metering machine refueling control unit 24. In addition, a necessary control signal is generated in the metering machine refueling control unit 24, and a control telegram is transmitted from the filling station information communication network device management unit 23 to the measuring machine 13 and the like again. Further, in the metering machine refueling control unit 24, in the case of data necessary for the adjustment of the refueling fee after the end of refueling, the metering machine refueling control unit 24 responds via the standard information communication network device management unit 22. The data is transmitted to the POS terminal 11. Further, the summation result of the refueling data is transmitted from the measuring machine refueling control unit 24 to the data storage unit 29 and stored. Furthermore, when the data in the data storage unit 29 is necessary, the necessary data can be received by transmitting a telegram of a read request from the POS terminal 11 or the personal computer 12 to the communication conversion unit 20. Transmission and reception of messages between the external machine 14, the change machine 15, and the oil level gauge 16, the POS terminal 11 and the personal computer 12, which are other gas station equipment other than the weighing machine 13, are performed in the same manner as described above.
