サーバ３において、携帯端末４から給油・精算データが入力されると（ステップＳ３５；Ｙｅｓ）、決済処理完了信号を携帯端末４に出力する（ステップＳ３６）。これでサーバ３の動作を終了する。携帯端末４において、サーバ３から決済処理完了信号が入力されると（ステップＳ２７；Ｙｅｓ）、給油伝票を表示する（ステップＳ２８）。これで携帯端末４の動作も終了して、給油動作が終了する。
When the server 3 receives the refueling / payment data from the mobile terminal 4 (Step S35; Yes), the server 3 outputs a settlement completion signal to the mobile terminal 4 (Step S36). This ends the operation of the server 3. When the payment processing completion signal is input from the server 3 to the mobile terminal 4 (Step S27; Yes), a refueling slip is displayed (Step S28). Thus, the operation of the portable terminal 4 also ends, and the refueling operation ends.
以上のように、本実施の形態における給油所システム１によれば、顧客が予め給油設定データを定めていれば、給油装置２の給油エリアに停車する車両Ｖ内又は給油エリアで顧客が所有する携帯端末４と通信するだけで給油装置２の給油設定を行うことができる。また、給油装置２において、顧客が手動で給油設定を行うための機構を省略することができるため、給油所側の設備投資を削減することができる。さらに、顧客が給油の度に給油設定を行うことで誤った給油設定がなされる回数が減り、混油の防止にもなる。
As described above, according to the refueling station system 1 in the present embodiment, if the customer determines the refueling setting data in advance, the customer owns the vehicle V or the refueling area in the vehicle V stopped at the refueling area of the refueling device 2. Refueling setting of the refueling device 2 can be performed only by communicating with the mobile terminal 4. Further, in the refueling device 2, since a mechanism for allowing the customer to manually set the refueling can be omitted, capital investment on the refueling station side can be reduced. Furthermore, since the customer sets the refueling every time the fuel is refueled, the number of times that the erroneous refueling is set is reduced, and the oil mixture is prevented.
次に、本発明に係る給油装置の他の実施形態について、図３及び図４を参照しながら説明する。
Next, another embodiment of the fuel supply device according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
この給油装置２は、上記給油所システム１の給油装置２と同様の構成を有し、決済機能を有する携帯端末１２と双方向通信可能である。上記給油所システム１のサーバ３は存在しない。上記給油所システム１の精算装置（不図示）も不要になる。尚、上記サーバ３が行っていた給油所の売上管理は、ＰＯＳ端末（不図示）で行われる。
This refueling device 2 has the same configuration as the refueling device 2 of the refueling station system 1 and is capable of two-way communication with the portable terminal 12 having a settlement function. The server 3 of the gas station system 1 does not exist. The payment device (not shown) of the gas station system 1 is also unnecessary. Incidentally, the sales management of the gas station performed by the server 3 is performed by a POS terminal (not shown).
携帯端末１２には、表２に示すように、顧客によってアプリ等を介して予め顧客名と給油設定データ（油種、給油方法及び精算方法）が登録される。
As shown in Table 2, a customer name and refueling setting data (oil type, refueling method and settlement method) are registered in advance in the mobile terminal 12 via an application or the like by the customer.
まず、給油装置２のステップＳ１において、ビーコン２ａのビーコンＩＤを出力する。次に、携帯端末１２のステップＳ４１において、給油装置２からビーコンＩＤが入力されると（ステップＳ４１；Ｙｅｓ）、携帯端末１２は、給油設定データを給油装置２に出力する（ステップＳ４２）。
First, in step S1 of the fueling device 2, the beacon ID of the beacon 2a is output. Next, in step S41 of the portable terminal 12, when the beacon ID is input from the refueling device 2 (step S41; Yes), the portable terminal 12 outputs refueling setting data to the refueling device 2 (step S42).
給油装置２のステップＳ２において、携帯端末１２から給油設定データが入力されると（ステップＳ２；Ｙｅｓ）、給油装置２において給油設定が行われる。
に お い て In step S2 of the refueling device 2, when refueling setting data is input from the portable terminal 12 (step S2; Yes), refueling is set in the refueling device 2.
給油装置２おけるステップＳ３～Ｓ１０の給油動作については、上記図２と同一であるため、説明を省略する。
油 The refueling operation in steps S3 to S10 in the refueling device 2 is the same as that in FIG.
ステップＳ２で入力された給油設定に基づく給油が完了し、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になり（ステップＳ１０）、給油データを携帯端末１２に対して出力する（ステップＳ１１）。これで給油装置２の動作は終了する。
The refueling based on the refueling setting input in step S2 is completed, and the customer turns the refueling nozzle back to the nozzle hook to turn off the nozzle SW (step S10), and outputs refueling data to the portable terminal 12 (step S10). S11). Thus, the operation of the refueling device 2 ends.
携帯端末１２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Ｓ４３；Ｙｅｓ）、顧客が両データを確認するために両データを表示部に表示する（ステップＳ４４）。その後、顧客が携帯端末１２の支払ボタンを押すか、両データの表示時間Ｔが所定時間ｔ１に達すると（ステップＳ４５；Ｙｅｓ）、精算処理が行われ（ステップＳ４６）、携帯端末１２に給油伝票が表示される（ステップＳ４７）。
(4) In the mobile terminal 12, when refueling data is input from the refueling device 2 (step S43; Yes), the customer displays both data on the display unit to confirm both data (step S44). Thereafter, when the customer presses the payment button of the mobile terminal 12 or the display time T of both data reaches the predetermined time t1 (step S45; Yes), a settlement process is performed (step S46), and the refueling slip is sent to the mobile terminal 12. Is displayed (step S47).
以上のように、本実施の形態によれば、給油装置２と携帯端末１２が直接通信を行うため、上記サーバ３を設けずに済み、給油所側の設備投資を削減することができる。また、顧客の携帯端末１２が決済機能を備えていれば、精算装置を設けずに済むため、さらに給油所側の設備投資を削減することができる。また、サーバ３を介さずに通信を行うことで、給油動作をより迅速に行うことができる。
As described above, according to the present embodiment, since the refueling device 2 and the mobile terminal 12 directly communicate with each other, the server 3 does not need to be provided, and the capital investment on the refueling station side can be reduced. In addition, if the customer's mobile terminal 12 has a settlement function, there is no need to provide a settlement device, so that capital investment on the gas station side can be further reduced. Further, by performing communication without using the server 3, the refueling operation can be performed more quickly.
尚、上記実施の形態では、電波発信手段としてＢＬＥビーコンを用いたが、携帯端末と通信できる発信手段（wifi等）は特に限定されることがない。
In the above embodiment, the BLE beacon is used as the radio wave transmitting means, but the transmitting means (such as wifi) capable of communicating with the portable terminal is not particularly limited.
