ABSTRACT:
An automated fuel dispensing system provides semiattended operation utilizing a computerized credit authorization and billing technique by means of a direct connection to a regional credit center over communication lines. A control console for multiple pump dispensers interconnects with a local central controller for providing preliminary verification checks and generating an authorization request message for transmission to a central computer at the regional credit center. This initial verification is to identify a particular user with a credit document inserted into the control console. Following receipt of an authorization message from the central computer in response to an authorization request, a user selects one of the pump dispensers by actuating a push button at the control console; he then dispenses the amount of fuel desired. Following completion of the fuel dispensing routine, billing information is assembled in the local central controller as a message for transmission to the regional computer for credit billing to a particular account number. In addition to credit documents, the control console accepts currency and cash cards having a pre-established value for control of the dispensing of fuel up to the limit of the currency value or cash card value.
