Patent number: 11993507Abstract: A system determines that a fuel dispensing operation may be anomalous. In response, the system accesses fuel inventory data that indicates fuel levels in a fuel tank within a threshold period. The system determines a measure amount of fuel that left the fuel tank based on the fuel inventory data. The system determines a calculated amount of dispensed fuel associated with one or more fuel dispensing operations within the threshold period. The system compares the measured amount of fuel that left the fuel tank with the calculated amount of dispensed fuel. The system determines that the measured amount of fuel that left the fuel tank is more than the calculated amount of dispensed fuel. In response, the system confirms that the fuel dispensing operation is anomalous and communicates an electronic signal to the fuel dispensing terminal that causes the fuel dispensing terminal to stop dispensing fuel.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2023Date of Patent: May 28, 2024Assignee: 7-ELEVEN, INC.Inventors: Boonchai Matthew Ragan, Sravan Kumar Ayyappa Akula, Joshua Michael Rothenberg, Jake Ylli Hoxha, Srikanth Gandra, Scott Albert

Publication number: 20240025728Abstract: A system determines an interaction period during which a fuel dispensing operation is performed at a fuel dispensing terminal. The system determines a measured volume per unit time parameter associated with fuel dispensed from the fuel dispensing terminal by dividing the determined volume for fuel by the interaction period. The system compares the measured volume per unit time parameter with a threshold volume per unit time parameter. In response to determining that the measured volume per unit time parameter is less than the threshold volume per unit time parameter, the system retrieves a video feed that shows the fuel dispensing terminal during the fuel dispensing operation. The system creates a file for the fuel dispensing operation. The system stores the video feed in the created file.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 19, 2022Publication date: January 25, 2024Inventors: Boonchai Matthew Ragan, Sravan Kumar Ayyappa Akula, Joshua Michael Rothenberg, Jake Ylli Hoxha, Deviprasad Mulluru, Srikanth Gandra, Scott Albert, Srikanth Subramanian

Publication number: 20240025726Abstract: A system detects a fuel dispensing operation that indicates fuel is being dispensed from the fuel dispensing terminal. The system determines an identifier value associated with a volume of fuel dispensed from the fuel dispensing terminal. The system determines a measured volume per unit time parameter associated with the fuel dispensed from the fuel dispensing terminal by dividing the determined identifier value by a unit parameter. The system compares the measured volume per unit time parameter with a threshold volume per unit time parameter. In response to determining that the measured volume per unit time parameter is less than the threshold volume per unit time parameter, the system communicates an electronic signal to the fuel dispensing terminal that instructs the fuel dispensing terminal to stop dispensing fuel.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 19, 2022Publication date: January 25, 2024Inventors: Boonchai Matthew Ragan, Sravan Kumar Ayyappa Akula, Joshua Michael Rothenberg, Jake Ylli Hoxha, Deviprasad Mulluru, Srikanth Gandra, Scott Albert, Srikanth Subramanian

Patent number: 11836815Abstract: A system that includes a fuel dispenser terminal and a remote controller. The fuel dispenser terminal is configured to send a service request for a fuel purchase to the remote controller and receive a personalized offer in response to sending the service request. The fuel dispenser terminal is further configured to display the personalized offer, receive a user response indicating the personalized offer was accepted, and send the user response to the remote controller. The fuel dispenser terminal is further configured to receive an authorization token for retrieving the personalized offer and output the authorization token to the customer. The remote controller is configured to update the service request by adding a purchase associated with the personized offer to the fuel purchase, send an encrypted service request to a service processor, generate the authorization token, and send the authorization token to the fuel dispenser terminal.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2022Date of Patent: December 5, 2023Assignee: 7-ELEVEN, INC.Inventors: Vivek Malik, Maninder Singh Suri, Gurmeet Singh, Matthew O'Daniel Redmond, Boonchai Matthew Ragan
