A vehicle pulls up to a fuel pump and a customer within the vehicle utilizes interfaces available within the vehicle to initiate a fuel transaction within the vehicle and to activate the fuel pump for dispensing fuel. The customer then exits the vehicle dispenses fuel and returns to the vehicle without interacting with the existing fuel pump interface and when the customer re-inserts the pump hose into a holster of the fuel pump, the fuel transaction is completed on behalf of the customer.

Vehicle transaction processing

Various embodiments herein each include at least one of systems, methods, software, and devices for proximity-based transaction device selection. One embodiment in the form of a method performed on a mobile device includes receiving a positioning signal and identifying a terminal associated with the positioning signal. An instruction may then be transmitted to the identified terminal via a wireless data communication device of the mobile device.

Proximity-based transaction device selection

Assistance techniques that give customers more knowledge and more freedom to seek out employees or other help providers. In an example method, a mobile device of a customer sends a request for assistance to a host computer, receives a location of help provider from the host computer, and displays the location on a map. The customer may then seek out the help provider.

Assistance techniques

Techniques for determining movement of a device away from a preferred location which provide notification. An example method includes receiving a signal from a beacon, determining a measure of a characteristic of the signal, performing a comparison of the measure of the characteristic to a predetermined threshold which is based upon a distance from the preferred location, determining that the device has moved at least the distance from the preferred location based upon the comparison, and issuing an alert.
