[0001] Oil supply system [0002]

The present invention relates to a fuel supply system, and more particularly, to a fuel supply system that increases purchasing power through joint purchase, thereby lowering the cost of purchasing oil, allowing the purchaser to grasp the state of delivery, And to prevent the delivered oil from mixing with the existing oil.

The oil industry consists of oil distributors who refine oil, buyers that receive refined oil from oil sellers, and shipping companies that deliver oil from oil distributors to buyers. The petroleum products sales companies are GS Caltex, Hyundai Oilbank, SK Energy, S-OIL, etc. Purchasing companies are various types of gas stations that are affiliated with oil companies, and shipping companies are private companies, This may be the case for an individual operator driving a tank lorry. The delivery company supplies the oil from the oil distributor to the gas station where the oil is ordered. It may cause waiting time to receive the oil from the oil distributor and the profit may decrease in proportion to the waiting time.

Accordingly, the conventional oil circulation has the following problems.

- Even though oil distributors have a chance to supply oil at low prices, there are few ways to exercise price control,

- It is difficult for buyers to gain market dominance in the gas station market,

- Shipper has less revenue from oil delivery, so there is less need for fast and accurate delivery of the oil ordered by the buyer.

- Therefore, the shipper may not be able to provide some oil on time due to delayed shipment,

- Buyers receive oil at similar costs to their competitors, so price competition, one of the core functions of the market function, is difficult.

On the other hand, in the patent document 10-1499099 (R1), a petroleum product selling method for lowering the supply price of oil by jointly purchasing oil by a plurality of gas stations using a joint purchasing company server has been proposed,

Open Patent Publication No. 2000-0063184 (R2) discloses an electronic commerce method of determining the price of oil according to a price of an article, a sales amount, a transportation method, an order area and a payment method using a combination of a seller and purchase information uploaded by a buyer However,

The disclosure number 2001-0105886 (R3) proposes a method of configuring a web site related to joint purchase of oil by Internet e-commerce which collects desired quantity of heating oil or vehicle oil around the oil relay server and conducts joint purchase.

However, R1 (Patent No. 10-1499099), R2 (Patent Document No. 2000-0063184), and R3 (Patent Specification No. 2001-0105886) can reduce the supply price of oil by making joint purchasing or e-commerce using online However, various problems arising from the distribution of actual oil are overlooked.

For example, when a large amount of oil is to be supplied at a gas station in accordance with the actual time required, a tank lorry supplying oil to the gas station must wait at the oil supply source for lubrication and take into account the time required for the transportation from the oil supply source to the delivery station gas station Time schedule for oil delivery is required.

Considering that the tankerlies are waiting for the oil supply with the tank lorry at the oil supply point and the oil supply time is several times according to the length of the queue as opposed to determining the desired delivery time in the online market, There is a problem in supporting the fast supply of oil to the required time at the gas station.

In addition, it is necessary to solve the problem that a portion of the oil is supplied in a missing part of the tank lorry, and the oil mist supplied in the tank lorry is mixed with other kinds of oil should also be prevented.

Many of the workers working at the gas station are short-term workers who can not distinguish the type of oil (oil species), and when gasoline and diesel are mixed in the oil reservoir at the gas station, Given the fact that work is still taking place, there is a problem in that it is difficult to solve the above-mentioned problem in the online purchase method of the prior art documents (R1, R2, R3).

It is an object of the present invention to solve at least one of the problems mentioned in the " TECHNICAL BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION ".

According to the present invention, the above object can be accomplished by providing a tank lorry having a tank sensor mounted on a tank and having an oil sensor for judging the type of oil, and the type information stored in the oil tank, Wherein the tanker terminal is achieved by a fuel supply system that generates a fuel supply alarm when the oil stored in the tank is different from the oil stored in the tank by the wireless communication with the beacon .

According to the present invention, the above-described object can be achieved by providing to a purchaser terminal, which is network-connected with a distributor terminal and a purchaser terminal, and which is registered in the distributor terminal, To the purchaser terminal, and a tanker terminal mounted on the tank and having a location information and a camera for capturing an image in front of the tanker and generating image information, the position information of the tank and the image information are matched with each other, And a delivery status processing unit provided to the purchaser terminal.

According to the present invention,

- Through joint purchase, buyers can purchase various kinds of cheaply.

- Sellers can exercise fast inventory depletion and market initiatives.

- Buyers can exercise price control through joint purchasing,

- Buyers can prevent various accidents in gas stations.

- It is possible to establish a trust relationship between the seller, buyer and distributor through the seller evaluation.

- Sellers, buyers and distributors are involved in the entire process from joint purchase to delivery and reputation, which can be handled and managed in a single system.

FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram of a fuel supply system according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a reference view for explaining an example of a movement path of a tanker, and FIG. 3 is a conceptual diagram of time scheduling of a tanker / RTI >

Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3 together, the oil supply system according to the embodiment may include a tank truck terminal 100 and a oil management server 200.

The tank lorry terminal 100 may be placed in the vicinity of the driver's seat of the tank lorry 5 or in a position where the tanker lorry 5 is stored inside the vehicle body so as not to reach the driver's hand. The tank lorry terminal 100 may perform near-field data communication with the beacon 51 provided in the oil storage 50 installed in a purchasing company (for example, a gas station, not shown). The tanker terminal 100 performs near-field data communication with the beacon 51 when the tanker 5 is close to the oil reservoir 50 and then supplies the oil to the oil reservoir 50, , And when it matches with the oil species loaded on the tank 5, the valve for supplying the oil from the tank 5 can be opened. This is based on the assumption that many of the workers at the purchasing company are part-time workers, that is, short-term workers, and many of the short-term workers are not familiar with the classification.

The beacon 51 can provide information to the tanker terminal 100 according to the following calls.

1) The type of oil (oil species) stored in the oil reservoir 50,

2) the amount of oil that can be stored in the oil storage 50

3) the unique identifier of the oil sump 50

The tanker terminal 100 receives at least one of the information of 1) to 3), obtains the disparity information from the oil management server 200 and compares it with the beacon information provided by the beacon 51, , The valve installed in the tank 5 can be opened to supply the oil stored in the tank 5 to the oil storage tank 50.

On the other hand, the tank truck terminal 100 judges the oil species stored in the tank 5 via the oil sensor 101, compares the determined oil species with the beacon information provided by the beacon 51, The valve of the tank 5 may be opened to supply the oil stored in the oil reservoir 50. [

In this case, the tanker terminal 100 can compare the flow rate of the oil stored in the tank 5 with the flow rate of the oil stored in the oil storage 50. In this case, the tanker terminal 100 is loaded in the oil storage 50 A possible flow rate can be loaded and then the valve closed.

The tanker terminal 100 can provide the gas management server 200 with the GPS position information of the tank 5 and the image information captured by the camera 104 when the tanker 5 moves to the purchasing company. The oil management server 200 can determine whether the tanker 5 is not going through an abnormal route by referring to the GPS position information and the image information of the tanker 5. [ The applicant has mentioned in the prior art that there is a case in which the tanker 5 stops at an abnormal intermediate waypoint and leaks a part of the loaded oil to make a profit.

The tanker terminal 100 provides the image information about the surrounding image of the tank 5 to the oil management server 200 using the camera 104 and the oil management server 200 provides the image information It is possible to provide the image information to the purchaser terminals 10a to 10n so that the purchaser can grasp the movement route and the current position of the tank lorry 5 so that the tank lorry 5 draws a part of the oil ). In addition, when the tank management server 200 determines that the tank lorry 5 is likely to leak oil when the tank lorry 5 does not move to the optimum traveling course and moves by bypassing a specific position, 10a to 10n.

In FIG. 2, it is normal for the tanker 5 to move directly to the purchaser S1. If the tank lorry 5 does not move to the purchaser S1 and the delivery time is delayed with the area S2 as a stopper, the tanker 5 may possibly leak a part of the oil stored in the oil tank in the area S2 have. At this time, the tanker terminal 100 images the surroundings image of the tank 5, generates image information, transmits the image information to the oil management server 200, and the oil management server 200 transmits the image information to the buyer terminals 10a to 10n ), The buyer terminal 10a to 10n can see where the tank lorry 5 is doing and can judge whether or not the oil leaks.

Meanwhile, the oil management server 200 is connected to the seller terminal 20 and the buyer terminals 10a to 10n, and is interposed between the seller terminal 20 and the buyer terminals 10a to 10n to collectively purchase the oil You can proceed. Oil retailers may need low-cost oil circulation compared to the market, depending on market leadership, stock oil shortages, or various other reasons. In addition, the distribution of such oil can be differentiated according to the sales unit. For example, the selling price of 10 tons of oil and the selling price of 100 tons can be discriminated, and the larger the usual purchasing unit, the lower the selling price tends to be.

The seller management server 200 registers the oil selling information in the seller terminal 20 and the oil management server 200 posts the oil selling information registered in the seller terminal 20, (10a-10n), where a joint purchase can proceed.

This will be described with reference to Figs. 4 to 10 together.

Referring to FIG. 4, the oil management server 200 may provide the selling information of the oil having the interface as shown in FIG. 4 to the buyer terminals 10a to 10n. In accordance with the type of oil, the oil management server 200 may include unleaded gasoline, It is possible to classify the items and to register the types and amounts of the oil registered in the seller terminal 20 for each item, the scheduled departure place and the seller information. In Fig. 4, unleaded gasoline is registered at Hyundai Oilbank with a volume of 120,000 liters per liter at Busan and 12,000 won per liter at SK Energy and 220,000 liters per liter at Incheon. In S-Oil, it is registered that it will ship 300,000 liters at 1310 won per liter from Gwangyang.

In view of the price, unleaded gasoline at 1210 won per liter is considered the cheapest in Hyundai Oilbank. However, according to the distance from the purchaser, the shipping cost is added to the total oil cost, The bar and the purchasing company can select an appropriate one of the registered oil sales information considering the location of the bar and the point at which the oil should be supplied.

When the purchasing company's order is concentrated on any one of the oil sales information shown in FIG. 4, the oil price per liter according to the oil sales information may be changed. If the quantity according to the oil sales information registered by the buyer's order concentration is sold out or added, the oil selling price per liter registered in the oil sale information may be lowered. In general, such purchasing methods can be referred to as joint purchasing, and since purchasing companies can purchase the oil at a lower price than the lower selling price of oil, it can secure price competitiveness against other gas stations in the vicinity, Gas stations).

4, when the oil sales information 1a is selected by a plurality of purchasing companies and a plurality of purchasing companies selects an ordering menu 1b to request an order, the menu of the form shown in Fig. (10a-10n).

FIG. 5 shows an example of the interface displayed on the buyer terminal 10a to 10n, and the purchaser is indicated to have ordered the unleaded gasoline of 1210 liters per liter at 2014-12-09. 6 is finally displayed on the purchaser's terminal 10a to 10n, and the content required for the order, for example, the type of the product, the quantity, You can complete the order by filling in information such as price and ship date.

At this time, the price may be flexible at the cost stated as 1210 won per liter. If a plurality of buyer terminals 10a to 10n exhaust the sales volume (120,000 liters) on the same day or an additional quantity is required and the seller accepts them, the unit price per liter may be lowered. In this case, the oil management server 200 can notify the changed costs to the buyer terminals 10a to 10n.

When the order is completed in the buyer terminals 10a to 10n through the FIG. 4 to FIG. 6, the oil management server 200 can request delivery participation to the delivery terminals 30a to 30n. Referring to FIG. 7, the sender terminals 30a to 30n notify the order entry, inquire about whether the delivery company will participate in the delivery, and the delivery company notifies the sender terminals 30a to 30n You can decide if you want to participate in the delivery for the delivery request message. If the distributor terminals 30a to 30n select the delivery acceptance menu 1d, the oil management server 200 maps the shipping company, the oil sales information, and the purchase company information selected in the delivery acceptance menu 1d, (260).

The oil information mapped and stored in the database 260 may be used as one big data in accordance with the flow of time.

8 and 9 illustrate an example of the big data generated for the purchasing company in the oil management server 200. In FIG. 8, the amount of stock in the oil storage pool provided in the purchasing company, the amount of fuel oil sold in the month , &Lt; / RTI >

In FIG. 9, graphical representations of types (oil types) and sales amounts of oil sold on a daily basis and monthly basis are provided to the seller, thereby enabling the seller to grasp the sales contribution and the sales volume by type of oil.

10 shows an example of the delivery status information provided to the buyer terminals 10a to 10n in the oil management server 200. [ When the tanker 5 loads the oil and the tanker 5 loads and moves the oil, it maps the GPS position information provided from the tanker terminal 100 to the oil management server 200 to the electronic map Map, The current position of the tank 5, and the locus of the tank 5. 10, the tanker terminal 100 stores information on the name of the delivery person (Hong Gil Dong), contact information, the loadable capacity of the tank lorry, the current loading capacity of the tank lorry, the current position, the departure time, ). Accordingly, the purchaser can predict when the tank lorry 5 will deliver the oil.

As described above, Applicant has described the process from purchase to delivery of the oil supply system.

Hereinafter, each component constituting the oil supply system will be described one by one.

The tank control unit 105 may be configured as a state information generating unit 105. The state information generating unit 105 may be configured as a state information generating unit, 110, a fuel information generating unit, a wireless communication unit 130, and a beacon communication unit 120.

The type sensor 101 is an optical sensor that can project light of a specific wavelength band against the oil stored in the tank 5 and determine the type of the oil through the wavelength of the reflected light with respect to the projected light. According to each type of oil, the light transmittance and reflectivity are differentiated, and the light pattern of the reflected light against the projected light is also differentiated according to the type of oil. Accordingly, the type sensor 101 may be configured as a light projecting unit that projects light and a light receiving unit that receives the projected light, and the light projecting unit and the light receiving unit are spaced apart from each other, So that the sensor structure can be formed and immersed in the oil tank.

The flow sensor 102 measures the flow rate of the oil tank and provides it to the terminal control unit 105. The GPS 103 receives the GPS position information and provides it to the terminal control unit 105. [

[ In addition, the current state information generation unit 110 may include tanker information and delivery article information, and may provide tanker information and delivery article information to the oil management server 200 by matching the position information and the image information.

The beacon communication unit 120 may perform short-range wireless communication with the beacon 51 disposed in the oil reservoir 50. The beacon communication unit 120 can perform data communication with the beacon 51 in accordance with Bluetooth communication, Zigbee communication or other short-range wireless communication, and can grasp the type of the oil stored in the oil reservoir 50 from the beacon 51 The oil tank valve of the tanker 5 is operated so that the oil can be supplied from the tanker 5 to the oil storage tank 50 when the oil stored in the tanker 5 coincides with the oil kind sensor 101. [

The wireless communication unit 130 may perform remote wireless communication with the oil management server 200 to provide status information. The wireless communication unit 130 may perform wireless communication according to the CDMA or GSM method or may perform data communication with the oil management server 200 using a radio frequency band allowed by the country or local government.

Next, referring to the oil management server 200, the oil management server 200 includes an order processing unit 210, a delivery status processing unit 220, a oil matching unit 230, a scheduler 240, a distribution plate unit 250, And a database 260.

The order processing unit 210 provides the oil sales information registered by the oil seller terminal 20 to the buyer terminals 10a to 10n and intermediates the oil purchase between the buyer terminals 10a to 10n and the oil seller terminal 20 , And when the number of the buyer terminals 10a to 10n that bid on the oil sales information is large, the joint purchase may be performed and the variable price may be applied according to the number of the buyer terminals 10a to 10n participating in the joint purchase.

When the oil seller registers the oil sales information, the order processing unit 210 provides the interface of the form shown in FIG. 4 to the oil-seller terminal 20 and the buyer terminals 10a to 10n, You can broker a sale.

The order processing unit 210 requests and registers information on the name of the oil refiner, the price per liter, the amount of oil to be sold, the amount of oil to be sold (flow rate), and the planned departure place, and provides it to the buyer terminals 10a to 10n.

In addition, the order processing unit 210 may provide the interface shown in FIG. 7 as a sender terminal (not shown) to recruit a shipping company. That is, the order processing unit 210 provides the necessary interfaces to the oil sellers, the purchasing companies, and the delivery companies by registering the oil sales information.

[ Then, the delivery status processing unit 220 can acquire image information from the camera 104 connected to the tank lorry terminal 100, and display the image information in addition to the current position and the movement trajectory displayed on the electronic map. This can be used to determine whether the current location and movement trajectory of the tank lorry 5 mapped to the electronic map at the buyer terminal 10a-10n is true. In this case, the purchaser terminals 10a to 10n may be connected to the camera 104. [0050] In this case, when the tanker 5 is stopped for a long time while the tanker 5 is moving along the normal movement trajectory, It is possible to determine whether or not the oil leakage occurs in the tanker 5 by referring to the image information captured by the tanker 5. That is, by providing the image information in addition to the location information and the movement locus of the tank lorry 5 mapped to the electronic map, illegal behavior can be prevented from occurring in the tank lorry 5.

The oil matching unit 230 may determine that the oil species loaded by the tanker 5 and the oil to be purchased by the purchasing company are identical to each other so that mixing does not occur.

Generally, the tanker 5 is usually shipped with one kind of oil. If the tank lorry (5) that is delivering the gas oil loads the unleaded gasoline, the durability of the gasoline remaining in the oil tank and the newly loaded unleaded gasoline may be mixed and the quality of the unleaded gasoline may be deteriorated. Therefore, the tanker 5 must report the type of oil that was loaded at the time of initial registration to the oil management server 200 according to the embodiment, and the oil management server 200 determines that the oil transaction is completed between the oil- When the shipper is recruited, the shipper can be filtered so that no mixing occurs according to the delivery history of the tanker (5).

The scheduler 240 refers to the current position of the shipping companies participating in the oil delivery, that is, the GPS position information of the tanker 5, the position information of the oil supply source, and the waiting time of each oil supply source in the current state, It is possible to calculate the travel route to the purchaser at the time. In particular, the scheduler 240 may obtain information on the amount of air from the oil supply source, which may correspond to the total amount of oil to be supplied from the oil supply source at the present time. If there is a large amount of atmospheric water, a large number of tank lorries are waiting for oil refueling at the oil supply site. Even if the distance is near, there is a possibility that the oil supply is delayed by a waiting time of several tens to several hours. The scheduler 240 selects at least one oil supply source which can be delivered to the purchaser at the shortest time among the oil supply sources accessible to the tanker 5 and supplies the selected at least one oil supply source to the delivery terminals 30a to 30n .

The delivery flat part 250 inquires of the buyer terminal 10a to 10n about the service satisfaction after the tanker 5 provides the oil to the oil storage 50 provided at the purchasing company and receives the answer to the inquiry You can score each shipper and write reputation information.

Details inquiring to the buyer terminals 10a to 10n may include details of whether the delivery time is satisfactory, the supply flow rate is correct, and the delivery company is kind.

In addition, the answers are expressed as 5 points (satisfaction), 4 points (satisfaction), 3 points (normal), 2 points (shortage) and 1 point (complaint) can do. The reputation information may be used as an addendum later when the purchaser orders the oil through the interface of FIG. For example, a purchaser can add a condition that he / she wants to use a carrier having an average of 4 points or more.

The database 260 stores the order details of the purchasing company, the registration details of the oil sellers, and the reputation information of the shipping companies, and has an electronic map. The database 260 maps the location information of the tank lorry 5 to the electronic map, To 10n.
