Latest Patents
One of Ryan Schoelerman's latest patents is a method and apparatus for fuel island authorization for the trucking industry using proximity sensors. This fuel authorization program is designed to equip fuel stations, fuel pumps, and vehicles with components that enable automatic fuel authorization for enrolled vehicles. The system includes fuel pumps with a transmitting sensor that automatically emits a pump ID. As a vehicle approaches the pump, a coupling receiving sensor detects the pump ID signal, creating a proximity link. The vehicle sensor then transmits the pump ID via hardwire or Bluetooth to a vehicle fuel authorization processor, which can be part of a telematics device. The vehicle processor sends the pump ID and any necessary fuel authorization credentials, such as a PIN or VIN, via Wi-Fi to a station processor for fuel vendor authorization. If approved, the pump is enabled. Once the vehicle moves away, the coupling sensor link is broken, and the vehicle transmits a 'disconnect' message via Wi-Fi, disabling the pump.
