The control device for processing and order management is illustrated in the drawing.

A gas station processing and order management device comprising a user terminal 1, which is a mobile phone or an e-mail device. As a means of communication between the user terminal and the information processing center 2, an MPx200 3 smartphone is used, connected by a Mini-USB cable to the information processing center, which is supposed to be used as a GSM receiver for receiving SMS messages. Smartphone 3 has a wide range of features, as essentially a compact computer. In addition, this smartphone model is running the Microsoft Windows Powered Smartphone 2002 operating system (a family of operating systems for Microsoft Windows CE mobile devices). The integration of devices controlled by the operating systems of one manufacturer (Microsoft Corp.) will significantly reduce the overhead costs for software production and shorten the project implementation time, and will automate the process of fuel dispensing. For communication of the MPx200 smartphone with a desktop personal computer, a Mini-USB cable is used. This in turn requires the presence of valid USB connectors on the operator’s computer. Most modern computers support this interface. Unlike other models, the MPx200 smartphone has a means of recharging from a USB data cable. This allows the device connected to the desktop personal computer to work autonomously (without special recharging) for quite a long time. The information processing center 2 contains a database 4, communication means of the user terminal 3 with the information processing center, software module 5. Other equipment of the gas station is controlled by the automated system "AES Plus". The information processing center 2 contains a software module 5, integrated into the automated control system of a gas station

Station 6, which is necessary for the operation of the processing and order management system with the automated system “AZS Plus”. Automated control system "AZS Plus" 6 includes a control program. The automated control system “AZS Plus” 6 interacts with external devices, such as a credit card terminal, through special software modules. All modules have a unified interface in accordance with a specific specification. Thus, the “gas station Plus” works the same way with each module, regardless of which device it actually serves.

“AZS Plus” distinguishes between two types of credit card terminals: active 8 and passive 9. Passive terminal only responds to ACS requests. When using such terminals, the order parameters are set by the operator. The task of the passive terminal is to confirm the ability to service the order. Unlike the passive terminal, the active terminal allows the client to specify the order parameters on their own. The operator’s task is only to verify the correctness of the specified data.

The software module 5 places orders as if the user entered data from the keyboard of the card terminal. However, in reality, program module 5 generates order parameters based on information received from the GSM network using an SMS message.

The work of the processing and order management system is as follows.

Option 1

A client drives up to one of the fuel dispensers (fuel dispensers) on the territory of a gas station (gas station) equipped with a processing and order management system. The client has made a deposit in advance and can use an SMS message to place an order. The client sends a message to the telephone number of this gas station indicating the parameters of the order. The message may contain information about the number of the fuel dispenser, the size of the order (in liters, for example), and, if necessary, the type of fuel. The data processing center 2, containing the database 4 via a GSM radio (MPx200 smartphone) 3, connected to the data processing center with a Mini-USB cable, receives an SMS order and downloads it to the operator’s computer. Order is generated based on

An SMS message received from a client that has a predetermined format. The information processing center checks the message text for errors and inconsistencies in it. Information processing center 2 checks the possibility of dispensing the requested amount of fuel through the indicated fuel dispenser. If the required fuel dispenser is ready for dispensing, the information processing center transmits the order parameters to the automated system "AZS Plus" The system "NPP Plus" displays the order parameters on the control panel screen for the operator Gas station. After the operator confirms the order (by pressing the “+” key on the numeric keypad), the fuel is released directly and the receipt is printed. The customer is identified by the number of his mobile phone from which the order was executed.

The wireless data transmission interface covers the concept of: reading from memory, transmitting and, accordingly, receiving and writing to memory. In this case, there must be software specially adapted for the information processing center and, accordingly, for the communication means of the user terminal (mobile radiotelephone, or for another user terminal, for example, a laptop, electronic notebook). Wireless transmission can be carried out through various transmission media, for example, optical radiation in the infrared or visible range, microwave, radio wave, as well as ultrasonic ranges. When using the microwave and, accordingly, the radio wave ranges as the interface, it is preferable to use an interface of the type "BLUETOOTH". In this case, practically non-directional transmission is possible, which does not require direct visibility between the communication means of the user terminal and the information processing center.

Option 2

A client drives up to one of the fuel dispensers (fuel dispensers) at the gas station equipped with a processing and order management system. The client has made a deposit in advance and can use an SMS message to place an order. The client sends a message indicating the parameters of the order. The message may contain information about the fuel dispenser number, order size (in liters, for example), and if

necessary, type of fuel. Information processing center 2, containing a database, receives an SMS order and downloads it to the operator’s computer. The order is accepted via the BLUETOOTH interface, i.e. The BLUETOOTH interface is used as a means of communication between the user terminal and the information processing center. The information processing center checks the message text for errors and inconsistencies in it. The information processing center checks the possibility of dispensing the requested amount of fuel through the indicated fuel dispenser. If the required fuel dispenser is ready for dispensing, the information processing center transmits the order parameters to the automated filling station system. The NPP Plus system displays the order parameters on the control panel screen for the gas station operator. After the operator confirms the order (by pressing the “+” key on the numeric keypad), the fuel is directly launched and the receipt is printed. Client identification is carried out by the number of his mobile phone, or by the previously agreed code from which the order was executed.

Using the processing and order management system allows you to automate the dispensing of fuel at gas stations, reduce the time of refueling due to the fact that the order for the dispensing of fuel can be done without leaving the car, at the entrance to the fuel dispenser.
