SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR FUELING MOTOR VEHICLES

摘要

Methods and systems can automate the delivery of motor vehicle fuel while reducing the need for operator involvement and driving to a gas station. A server with access to a database and in wireless communication with computers installed in a motor vehicle can collect data from the computers including vehicle fuel level and vehicle geographic location. The data can be compared to the data to a fuel level threshold and geographic boundary. The data can be transmitted wirelessly through a wireless network to the database. A mobile fuel tanker truck can be dispatched to the vehicle's location when at least one of: fuel service is requested by a user of the vehicle or the vehicle's fuel level falls beneath the fuel level threshold. Fuel service can be requested by a user via a smartphone running an application that enables the monitoring, management, selection, and ordering of fuel service.

主权项

1. A method for automating the delivery of motor vehicle fuel wherein the need for operator involvement is minimized, comprising:
providing a server including access to a database in communication in wireless communication with computers installed in a motor vehicle including a fuel level sensor and a geographic location module; said server collecting data from the computer including vehicle fuel level from said fuel sensor and vehicle location from said geographic location module; comparing the data to a fuel level threshold and geographic boundary; transmitting the data through a network to the database; and dispatching a mobile fuel tanker truck to the vehicle's location when at least one of fuel service is requested by a user of the vehicle or the vehicle's fuel level falls beneath the fuel level threshold.
