    摘要: A system for controlling the dispensing of fuel or the like in a vending apparatus, particularly for private use, comprising one or more dispensing assemblies, one or more mobile processing devices, and a central remote processing device, the mobile devices being configured to transmit data originating from the dispensing assemblies toward the central remote device.
    Each dispensing assembly comprises an electronic controller and dispensing element which comprise an electric pump, the electronic controller being configured to control electronically the electric pump of the dispensing element on the basis of the occurrence of an operating condition of the electrical and/or hydraulic type of the dispensing element of the dispensing assembly.

    摘要: A method of retrieving a lost item from a compartment to an owner of the lost item is provided. The method comprises detecting the lost item in the compartment to define an item image of the lost item relative to the compartment, updating an inventory list of lost objects, and identifying at least one potential user of the lost item. The method further comprises providing notification to the at least one potential user and providing viewable access of the item image. The method further comprises verifying ownership of the lost item to define the owner of the lost item, determining a preferred pickup location for the owner, storing the lost item at the preferred location defining a stored item, and confirming identity of the owner for retrieval of the stored item at the preferred location.

    摘要: A method for dynamically programming and distributing a wearable in an automated vending machine includes receiving at the vending machine a request from a guest to issue a wearable and the determination of an identity of the guest from the request. The method additionally includes selecting a wearable within the vending machine from a repository of unprogrammed wearables and moving the selected wearable out of the repository and into a programming tray, within the vending machine, that is communicatively segregated from the repository within the vending machine. The method further includes programming the selected wearable while the selected wearable remains in the programming tray with information corresponding to the determined identity of the guest. Finally, the method includes ejecting the programmed selected wearable for retrieval by the guest at a dispensing outlet that is disposed within the vending machine but that is accessible from outside of the vending machine.

    摘要: Approaches are described for storing, managing, and dispensing products from automated multi-user kiosks. For example, a multi-user kiosk may include interface sides alternating with non-interface panels including at least one storage door for loading products. Products are stored in a shared storage within the kiosk. The shared storage may be a plurality of carousels stacked as a single column Each carousel can rotate independently of each other. Users are verified and authorized prior to purchasing products or accessing storage for loading products. A first carousel containing a first product may be rotated in a first direction to dispense the first product to a first user at a first side of the kiosk at substantially a same time as a second carousel containing a second product rotates in a second direction to dispense the second product to a second user at a second side of the kiosk.

    摘要: A system is provided that authenticates the identity and age of a user, that offers at least one age-restricted product for sale to the user, that enables the user to purchase the at least one product via a mobile application, that provides the at least one purchased product at a physical product locker at a location convenient to the user to travel to, that again authenticates the identity and age of the user at the physical location of the product locker prior to dispensing the product, and that, upon authentication of the user’s identity and age, releases the product to the user.

    摘要: Systems and methods for identity verification to provide access to restricted goods or services. A first device may receive, from a second device operated on behalf of a user, a first request to purchase a restricted good or service. The first device may transmit, to the second device responsive to the first request, a second request comprising an identification of information of the user, and an identification of validation system; and may receive the requested information of the user. The first device may generate an attestation key comprising a hash of the requested information of the user and the identification of the validation system; and may determine that a record in a centralized or distributed ledger at an address corresponding to the attestation key is associated with a non-zero transaction value. Responsive to the determination, the first device may provide the restricted good or service to the user.
