本発明は、上記従来の技術に鑑みてなされたものであって、携帯端末の機能を用いて給油装置とサーバの紐付けを行って給油及び精算を行い、給油所システムの装置構成を簡略化することを目的とする。 The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional technology, and uses the functions of a mobile terminal to link a refueling device and a server to perform refueling and payment, thereby simplifying the equipment configuration of a refueling station system. The purpose is to

上記目的を達成するため、本発明は、給油所システムであって、給油装置に備えられた人体センサが顧客を検知した際に、給油所情報を含む識別コードが給油装置に備えられたデータ入出力機器に表示され、該識別コードは前記人体センサの検知結果により表示される度に情報が異なり、前記識別コードをユーザーが携帯端末で読み込むと、該携帯端末からユーザー名、クレジットカード番号及び油種を含むユーザー情報及び前記給油所情報がサーバに送信され、該ユーザー情報及び給油所情報を受信した前記サーバが給油許可信号を前記給油装置に送信し、前記給油装置が該給油許可信号を受信すると動作可能となる給油所システムであって、前記サーバは、前記給油装置が設置された給油所を含む全国の給油所からの給油データを一括管理し、各給油所でのＰＯＳ処理が不要となることを特徴とする。 In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a gas station system in which when a human body sensor installed in a gas filling device detects a customer, an identification code including gas station information is sent to a data input device provided in the gas filling device. The identification code is displayed on the output device , and the information differs each time the identification code is displayed depending on the detection result of the human body sensor. When the user reads the identification code with a mobile terminal, the mobile terminal sends the user's name, credit card number, and credit card number. The user information including the fueling station information and the fueling station information are transmitted to a server, the server receiving the user information and the fueling station information transmits a refueling permission signal to the refueling device, and the refueling device receives the refueling permission signal. Then, the service station system becomes operational, and the server centrally manages refueling data from service stations nationwide, including the service station where the refueling device is installed, and eliminates the need for POS processing at each service station. It is characterized by becoming.

本発明によれば、携帯端末の機能を用いて給油装置とサーバの紐付けを行い、給油を行うことができるため、サーバが各給油所からの給油データ等を一括して管理することができるようになり、各給油所でのＰＯＳ処理が不要となる。
また、人体センサが顧客を検知した際に、給油所情報を含む識別コードが表示され、該識別コードは前記人体センサの検知結果により表示される度に情報が異なるため、給油装置に印字された識別コードの上に別の識別コードが貼付され、顧客が全く関係のない識別コードを読み取ってしまうなどの不正を防止することができる。 According to the present invention, refueling can be performed by linking a refueling device and a server using the functions of a mobile terminal, so that the server can collectively manage refueling data etc. from each refueling station. This eliminates the need for POS processing at each gas station.
In addition, when the human body sensor detects a customer, an identification code containing gas station information is displayed, and since the information differs each time the identification code is displayed depending on the detection result of the human body sensor, the identification code is printed on the gas filling device. Another identification code is pasted on top of the identification code, and fraud such as a customer reading a totally unrelated identification code can be prevented.

上記給油所システムにおいて、前記サーバが前記給油装置から給油情報と給油終了信号を受信すると、該給油情報に基づいて精算情報を生成し、該サーバは、前記ユーザー情報、前記給油所情報、前記給油情報及び前記精算情報を関連付けて記憶することができ、サーバに記憶した精算情報等によってクレジット決済等を行うことができる。 In the above gas station system, when the server receives refueling information and a refueling end signal from the refueling device, it generates settlement information based on the refueling information, and the server generates payment information based on the user information, the gas station information, the refueling end signal, and the refueling device. The information and the payment information can be stored in association with each other, and credit card payments can be made using the payment information stored in the server.

上記給油装置において、前記給油所情報は、給油所名、給油装置番号及び給油エリアを含むことができ、これによって燃料油を給油する給油装置を特定することができる。 In the refueling apparatus, the refueling station information may include a refueling station name, a refueling apparatus number, and a refueling area, thereby making it possible to identify the refueling apparatus that refuels with fuel oil.

以上のように、本発明によれば、携帯端末の機能を用いて給油装置とサーバの紐付けを行って給油及び精算を行うことで、給油所システムの装置構成を簡略化することができる。 As described above, according to the present invention, the device configuration of the fueling station system can be simplified by linking the fueling device and the server using the functions of the mobile terminal to perform fueling and payment.

カード会社６は、顧客と予め契約しており、サーバ３と通信を行うための通信手段を備える。 The card company 6 has a contract with the customer in advance, and is equipped with communication means for communicating with the server 3.

次に、上記構成を有する給油所システム１の動作について、図１及び図２を参照しながら説明する。尚、図２のルートが分岐するステップにおいては、特別な記載がない限り、下方向がＹｅｓ、横方向がＮｏに対応する。 Next, the operation of the gas station system 1 having the above configuration will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. In addition, in the step where the route in FIG. 2 branches, unless otherwise specified, the downward direction corresponds to Yes, and the horizontal direction corresponds to No.

携帯端末４のステップＳ１において、顧客は携帯端末４を介して給油装置２の識別コード２ｃを読み取る。識別コード２ｃを読み取ると（ステップＳ１；Ｙｅｓ）、携帯端末４の画面に支払方法選択案内が表示される。ステップＳ２において、顧客が支払方法として現金支払及びクレジットカード支払のいずれかを選択をすると（ステップＳ２；Ｙｅｓ）、ユーザー情報、支払方法に関する情報（カード支払の場合にはカード番号を含む）及び識別コード２ｃから読み取った給油所情報をサーバ３に出力する（ステップＳ３）。 In step S1 of the mobile terminal 4, the customer reads the identification code 2c of the refueling device 2 via the mobile terminal 4. When the identification code 2c is read (step S1; Yes), payment method selection guidance is displayed on the screen of the mobile terminal 4. In step S2, when the customer selects either cash payment or credit card payment as a payment method (step S2; Yes), user information, information regarding the payment method (including card number in case of card payment), and identification The gas station information read from the code 2c is output to the server 3 (step S3).

サーバ３のステップＳ１１において、携帯端末４からユーザー情報、支払方法に関する情報及び給油所情報が入力されると（ステップＳ１１；Ｙｅｓ）、ステップＳ１２において、顧客がカード支払を選択したか否かを確認し、顧客がカード支払を選択した場合には（ステップＳ１２；Ｙｅｓ）、カード会社６にカード番号を含む与信確認信号を出力する（ステップＳ１３）。一方、ステップＳ１２において、顧客が現金支払を選択した場合には（ステップＳ１２；Ｎｏ）、後述するステップＳ１５へ進む。 In step S11 of the server 3, when user information, payment method information, and gas station information are input from the mobile terminal 4 (step S11; Yes), it is confirmed in step S12 whether the customer has selected card payment. However, if the customer selects card payment (step S12; Yes), a credit confirmation signal including the card number is output to the card company 6 (step S13). On the other hand, in step S12, if the customer selects cash payment (step S12; No), the process advances to step S15, which will be described later.

カード会社６のステップＳ３１において、サーバ３から与信確認信号が入力されると（ステップＳ３１；Ｙｅｓ）、ステップＳ３２において、カード番号から顧客の与信を確認し、与信が確認できれば（ステップＳ３２；Ｙｅｓ）、与信ＯＫ信号をサーバ３に出力する（ステップＳ３３）。一方、指定された顧客の与信を確認することができない場合には（ステップＳ３２；Ｎｏ）、与信ＮＯ信号をサーバ３に出力してカード会社６の動作を終了する（ステップＳ３４）。 In step S31 of the card company 6, when a credit confirmation signal is input from the server 3 (step S31; Yes), in step S32, the customer's credit is confirmed from the card number, and if the credit can be confirmed (step S32; Yes) , outputs a credit OK signal to the server 3 (step S33). On the other hand, if the specified customer's credit cannot be confirmed (step S32; No), a credit NO signal is output to the server 3 and the operation of the card company 6 is ended (step S34).

サーバ３のステップＳ１４において、カード会社６から与信ＯＫ信号が入力されると（ステップＳ１４；Ｙｅｓ）、給油装置２に給油許可信号を送信する（ステップＳ１５）。 In step S14 of the server 3, when a credit OK signal is input from the card company 6 (step S14; Yes), a refueling permission signal is transmitted to the refueling device 2 (step S15).

一方、ステップＳ１４において、与信ＯＫ信号が入力されず（ステップＳ１４；Ｎｏ）、ステップＳ１６において、カード会社６から与信ＮＯ信号が入力されると（ステップＳ１６；Ｙｅｓ）、携帯端末４に与信ＮＯ信号を出力してサーバ３の動作を終了する（ステップＳ１７）。携帯端末４のステップＳ４において、サーバ３から与信ＮＯ信号が入力されると（ステップＳ４；Ｙｅｓ）、カード支払不可を報知して携帯端末４の動作を終了する（ステップＳ５）。この場合には、顧客は給油を行うことができない。 On the other hand, if the credit OK signal is not input in step S14 (step S14; No) and the credit NO signal is input from the card company 6 in step S16 (step S16; Yes), the credit NO signal is sent to the mobile terminal 4. is output, and the operation of the server 3 is ended (step S17). In step S4 of the mobile terminal 4, when a credit NO signal is input from the server 3 (step S4; Yes), it notifies that card payment is not possible and ends the operation of the mobile terminal 4 (step S5). In this case, the customer cannot refuel.

給油装置２のステップＳ４１において、サーバ３から給油許可信号が入力されると（ステップＳ４１；Ｙｅｓ）、顧客がデータ入出力器２ｂを操作して給油設定を行い（ステップＳ４２）、顧客がノズル掛けから給油ノズルを取り外すことでノズルＳＷ（スイッチ）がＯＮになる（ステップＳ４３；Ｙｅｓ）。 In step S41 of the refueling device 2, when a refueling permission signal is input from the server 3 (step S41; Yes), the customer operates the data input/output device 2b to make refueling settings (step S42), and the customer sets the nozzle. By removing the refueling nozzle, the nozzle SW (switch) is turned on (step S43; Yes).

ここで、顧客が給油設定で選択した油種に対応する給油ノズルを取り外していれば（ステップＳ４４；Ｙｅｓ）、給油装置２の表示器２ａにリセット信号が送信され、前回なされた給油に関する情報の帰零（リセット）がなされると共に、給油ポンプが駆動される（ステップＳ４５）。 Here, if the customer has removed the refueling nozzle corresponding to the oil type selected in the refueling settings (step S44; Yes), a reset signal is sent to the display 2a of the refueling device 2, and information regarding the previous refueling is sent. At the same time as the return to zero (reset) is performed, the oil supply pump is driven (step S45).

一方、ステップＳ４４において、顧客が誤った給油ノズル２６を取り外していた場合には（ステップＳ４４；Ｎｏ）、表示器２ａ等を介して顧客に給油ノズルを確認するよう報知する（ステップＳ４６）。 On the other hand, in step S44, if the customer has removed the wrong refueling nozzle 26 (step S44; No), the customer is notified via the display 2a or the like to check the refueling nozzle (step S46).

ステップＳ４７において、給油ポンプが駆動されて流量計もＯＮになり、さらに流量パルス発信器がＯＮになり、流量パルス発信器からパルス信号が表示器２ａに送信されると（ステップＳ４７；Ｙｅｓ）、表示器２ａに給油データを表示すると共に、サーバ３に給油データを出力する（ステップＳ４８）。 In step S47, when the fuel pump is driven and the flow meter is turned on, the flow rate pulse transmitter is also turned on, and a pulse signal is transmitted from the flow rate pulse transmitter to the display 2a (step S47; Yes). The refueling data is displayed on the display 2a and is output to the server 3 (step S48).

サーバ３のステップＳ１８において、給油装置２から給油データが入力されると（ステップＳ１８；Ｙｅｓ）、携帯端末４に給油データを含む給油中信号を出力する（ステップＳ１９）。これにより、携帯端末４のステップＳ４において、与信ＮＯ信号が入力されないことになり（ステップＳ４；Ｙｅｓ）、ステップＳ６において、サーバ３から給油中信号が入力されると（ステップＳ６；Ｙｅｓ）、携帯端末４の表示画面に「給油中」という文字や、給油中であることを表す例えば波の動画が表示される（ステップＳ７）。これにより、顧客は給油装置２を直接確認しなくても、給油装置２による給油の進捗状況を把握することができる。 In step S18 of the server 3, when refueling data is input from the refueling device 2 (step S18; Yes), a refueling signal including the refueling data is output to the mobile terminal 4 (step S19). As a result, in step S4 of the mobile terminal 4, the credit NO signal is not input (step S4; Yes), and in step S6, when the refueling signal is input from the server 3 (step S6; Yes), the mobile On the display screen of the terminal 4, the words "Refueling" and, for example, a moving image of waves representing that refueling is in progress are displayed (step S7). Thereby, the customer can grasp the progress of refueling by the refueling device 2 without directly checking the refueling device 2.

給油装置２において、顧客が給油ノズルをノズル掛けに戻すことでノズルＳＷがＯＦＦになると（ステップＳ４９；Ｙｅｓ）、給油ポンプの駆動を停止し（ステップＳ５０）、サーバ３に給油データを含む給油終了信号を出力して給油装置２の動作を終了する（ステップＳ５１）。 In the refueling device 2, when the nozzle SW is turned OFF by the customer returning the refueling nozzle to the nozzle hook (step S49; Yes), the driving of the refueling pump is stopped (step S50), and the refueling including the refueling data is stored in the server 3. A signal is output and the operation of the oil supply device 2 is ended (step S51).
