Patent number: 12125334Abstract: A method of processing a transaction includes receiving a site location code. Site configuration information corresponding to the received site location code is received from a database. That information includes more product record(s), each corresponding to a reservable product or a non-reservable product. A selection of one or more of the product records in the retrieved information is received. If any selected product record corresponds to a reservable product, a reservation command is produced. That command requests reservation of selected reservable product(s). A method of selecting a product includes receiving a location input and determining a site location code with it. The site location code is transmitted and one or more product records are received. Representations of one or more of the received product records are presented and a selection of products is received. An indication of the selection is transmitted.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2023Date of Patent: October 22, 2024Assignee: Wayne Fueling Systems LLCInventors: Thomas Sherfey Chittenden, Jr., Paul Matthew Kern, Bradford Ian Loewy, Sethuraman Subramanian

Patent number: 12125032Abstract: Various exemplary methods and devices for product dispenser electronic communication with a mobile device are provided. In general, a mobile device can request a secure connection with a product dispenser detected in the proximity of the mobile device. The mobile device can transmit request data to a network cloud server to authorize a mobile payment application executed on the mobile device, and can receive response data from the network cloud server indicating that the payment application has been authorized to process a payment for a product dispensable from the product dispenser. The mobile device and the product dispenser establish a secure connection using a secure key included in the response data, regardless of whether or not the product dispenser has established a connection with a network cloud server.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2023Date of Patent: October 22, 2024Assignee: Wayne Fueling Systems LLCInventors: Henry Fieglein, Eli Pulsifer, Richard Carlsson

Patent number: 12087121Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for associating vehicle identification information with other visually captured information are provided. In general, a system can include a processor configured to receive an image from a camera located at a fueling station. The processor can be configured to apply an algorithm to extract various features from the image, such as a vehicle that is present in the image, facial features of a driver and/or a passenger of the vehicle, or a license plate of the vehicle. The features can be used by the processor to determine information from the features, such as the identity of the driver, the make/model of the vehicle, or an owner of the vehicle. The processor can then, based on the determined information, be configured to take a variety of actions and thereby reduce the likelihood of possible future losses associated with the vehicles or individuals present in the image.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2021Date of Patent: September 10, 2024Assignee: Wayne Fueling Systems LLCInventors: Henry Fieglein, Kalpit Singh, Rohith Chinnaswamy, Hob Hairston
