The present invention relates to a petrol station integrated management system and a method thereof, in which a smart self ODT (Out Door Terminal) is installed in a gas lighter, and more particularly, By integrating smart-based self-ODT into a general lubricator and linking it with smart devices based on the web, such as smart point of sale (POS) and smart customer relationship management (Smart CRM), the smart lube can be used as a self- And the settlement history such as card reading, IC card recognition, NFC communication recognition, electronic voucher settlement, and cash settlement is linked with the filling details, and the closing status such as sales point information management, customer management, Integrated management system and method of petrol station using Smart-based lubricator that can manage integrated One will.

Generally, a gas station is provided with a lubricator that is connected to a gas-liquid tank so that the gas can be injected into the vehicle. In this lubrication apparatus, a main oil gun is installed through a hydraulic oil hose, and a main oil source inserts a main oil gun into the oil port of the vehicle to perform lubrication. At this time, the display unit connected to the lubricator or connected to the lubricator displays the main fuel cost and the main cost calculated by multiplying the fuel amount by the fuel cost. The driver can check the present state of the main flow through the display device and prepare for payment.

In addition, when the lubrication is completed, the driver uses the main source to settle the lump sum using the payment means such as cash settlement or credit card. At this time, the mainstream source is a server of a ValueAdded Network (VAN) company that inputs the amount of money to a card terminal located at a gas station center or a card terminal which can be moved, and provides a settlement agency service related to payment of a card between a plurality of merchants and a credit card company (Hereinafter collectively referred to as a payment proxy server), receives approval for use of the credit card, makes payment for the payment, and transmits the card and card receipt to the driver.

However, in the payment method using the credit card, since the driver gives his credit card to the main source, the risk of illegal use of the credit card by the main source or the gas station may be exposed.

In addition, at the time of settlement, the main source disappears from the view of the driver and moves to another space. Therefore, the possibility of theft of the payment means can not be excluded, causing anxiety of the driver. In order to solve this problem and reduce the labor cost of the main source, a self-service station was recently introduced. In such a self-service station, since the driver directly performs gas filling and settlement, it is safe from the theft of the payment means and the like, but there is a trouble that the driver has to feed the gas directly.

To solve these problems, Korean Patent Laid-Open No. 10-2006-0090846 is proposed. The above-mentioned patent is based on CDMA such as IrDA, Home-RF, Bluetooth, and IEEE 802.11, so that wireless communication and Internet access are possible, and a gas station management program is built in so as to display a unique number of a specific gas station. A personal information terminal provided so as to be able to directly select a payment amount and a payment method by a touch screen method at the time of payment of a gas bill; And a control unit configured to be connected to a POS terminal operating at the gas station, and configured to perform billing settlement according to a gasoline charge wirelessly transmitted from the personal information terminal and a serial number of the gas lighter installed in the gas station, A fueling management module for reducing the amount of fuel to cash back points; A mobile communication company server providing the personal information terminal free of charge and managing information of the personal information terminal and corresponding customer information; And a credit information server and an electronic authentication server which are provided for authenticating the customer and credit information when processing the settlement process according to the settlement method. Thus, by using the personal information terminal paid by the communication company free of charge, By using the encrypted data, the payment process for the direct usage fee can be processed, thereby protecting the personal information, and the advantage of being able to prevent the error such as the loss of the credit card and the wrong mistake by the employee at least once .

However, the prior art patent has a problem that the personal information terminal equipped with CDMA such as IrDA, Home-RF, Bluetooth, and IEEE802.11 is paid by the carrier for each subscriber and thus the cost is excessively increased. Since it is possible to check the cash back points only through the information terminal, it is impossible to confirm the points at the gas station or the business partner linked to the gas station, so that the gas station is managed in an integrated manner such as the actual transaction status, oiling status, customer management, point management, event management, There is still a problem.
