Description:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION 
       [0001]    The present invention relates to a system for optimizing the use and the income generated a service station or other service locations where different service related fluids are used by service providers and retail users, and more specifically to the coordination at both retail and an associated services station of fluids like window washing fluids using a multiple wall mounting dispensers. Also part of the system are HTML based tools for the management of the fluids and the management of information between the service station operators, the clients, and the service provider in charge of maintaining the system. Also included are methods of use thereof. 
       BACKGROUND 
       [0002]    The automobile industry is a key component of the U.S. economy. It&#39;s diversity and complexity does not need to be demonstrated. Most adults own or have access to at least one vehicle which they drive on a daily basis. Many families own multiple vehicles. Millions of vehicles are sold each year, and the cost of vehicles is one of the most important part of a family&#39;s annual budget. While few customers know in detail the industry, they all are extremely attentive to new services or innovations that would result in helping lower the overall cost of a vehicle. 
         [0003]    Vehicles require routine and exceptional maintenances, repair, management of recalled parts for safety, periodic refueling, and a need to replenish certain fluids as part of routine or exceptional maintenance. For example, cars need window washer fluids sprayed onto a window by wiper blades to help clear a view and help with driving conditions. A car quires other fluids, for example cooling recirculation fluids, lubricating oil, fuel, and water. One key problem with these needs is their complexity. Too often, mechanics or service stations with trained individuals offer help for vehicle owners. 
         [0004]    Since the repair and maintenance of vehicles is often in contact with dirty fluids or components, service stations tend to easily get dirty. Vehicle owners rarely enjoy direct contact with greasy and messy environments and therefore service stations endeavor to create a cleaner and safer work environment and service environment where clients can feel at ease. For example, the ground of a working station of a mechanics can be painted and maintained somewhat cleaned. Mechanics can be given stain resistant clothing to further help the overall client experience. 
         [0005]    Many service stations have three main areas, a retail vehicle service area, a retail vending area, and a vehicle repair area. The retail vehicle service area as shown for example in  FIGS. 1, and 2  from the prior art shows how fuel pumps (often with rain protector) are accessible directly by clients. A person will stop, slide a credit card and select fuel. Often, clients will grab a spout handle and after making sure the fuel is of a certain type will fill the vehicle at need. User know that too often hands will be smelly after use of these handles and oil may. 
         [0006]      FIG. 1  is taken from U.S. Pat. No. 6,230,939 from the prior art. In this figure, fuel tanks are buried deep under the ground. What is shown is the use of a secondary system to the fuel pumps  11  placed on top of the system for example as a box  70  mounted on part of the structure capable of dispensing part of a fluid  20  on the roof  14  of the structure. While at a glance this turn of the millennium system appears useful to give drivers a new tool and easier access to quickly fill their vehicles with window washing fluids, the system has never met any commercial success. The reasons are numerous and help understand why the currently disclosed system is an improvement. 
         [0007]    As shown, placing the fluid  20  on the roof  14  creates multiple problems. They are not easy of access, their level cannot easily be monitored and they are vulnerable to weather. In addition, the system requires installation, monitoring, and maintenance. A service station owner is highly unlikely to pay money to buy and install this system, simply to replace currently existing systems. Unlike fuel, window washing fluid at the retain vending area is infrequent and the cost of washer fluid must be compared with the current solution of selling drivers in the retail vending area gallon jugs of containers to be poured immediately or to be stored partly in the trunk of the vehicle. In addition, based on weather conditions, the fluid needed may require different properties, for example a different freezing point. With the system as shown at  FIG. 1 , if it is filled with low cost high temperature fluid, it would have to be purged for a lower temperature solution to be used. From a cost-benefit perspective, these solutions appear useful, they are not and over time, the market has proven this fact. Air for tires, unlike washing fluid on the other hand is often sold using these retail solutions. 
         [0008]    One other problem of placing fluids at the retail vehicle service area is theft or destruction. The solution contemplated by the system shown at  FIG. 1  from the prior art is to place the product as far away from the user in the retail vehicle service area as possible.  FIG. 2  also from the prior art, published as U.S. application Ser. No. 12/758,737 a different take. In this system showed as a larger stand-alone station  110 , the base of a cabinet  112  is designed to hold a pumping and delivery mechanism for use the person. To better understand why this solution is not desirable, window washer fluid is generally retailed in the United States in a 128 oz. gallon at a price around $1.80 to $2.50 as of the filing of this application. Since the internal volume of the reservoir of most cars varies from a fraction of a gallon to a gallon or more, the use of the device shown at  FIG. 2  would result in a sale of $1 to $3 dollars at most. At these levels of transaction, most electronic cards will impose additional surcharges. The stand-alone cabinet  112  of  FIG. 2  at best contains 10 gallons or about twenty-five dollars of fluid. There is simply no cost efficient way to profit from installing, manufacturing, and servicing the device as shown with such low costs. Even if a user is willing to pay twice as much for the product, the margin remains too small to justify the cost of monitoring levels and sending a person to refill the cabinet  112 . What is needed is a cost-efficient, and useful way that can be implemented by service stations to bring to the retail vehicle service area these types of secondary fluids.

     SUMMARY 
       [0020]    The present invention relates to a system for optimizing the use and the income generated a service station or other service locations where different service related fluids are used by service providers and retail users, and more specifically to the coordination at both retail and an associated services station of fluids like window washing fluids using a multiple wall mounting dispensers. Also part of the system are HTML based tools for the management of the fluids and the management of information between the service station operators, the clients, and the service provider in charge of maintaining the system. Also included are methods of use thereof. 
       DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
       [0021]    For the purposes of promoting and understanding the principles disclosed herein, reference is now made to the preferred embodiments illustrated in the drawings, and specific language is used to describe the same. It is nevertheless understood that no limitation of the scope of the invention is hereby intended. Such alterations and further modifications in the illustrated devices and such further applications of the principles disclosed and illustrated herein are contemplated as would normally occur to one skilled in the art to which this disclosure relates. 
         [0022]    The Fluid Transfer System 
         [0023]    The inventor of the current invention is the first to leverage the unique mechanics of service stations  200  as shown at  FIG. 3 . In  FIG. 3 , cars  201  will travel to different areas of the station  200 . These areas include one of multiple (shown as Area 1 and Area 2) a retail vehicle service areas  202 ,  203 . These areas  202 ,  203  are generally shown at  FIGS. 1, and 2  from the prior art. Cars or other vehicles  204 ,  205  travel into these areas for refueling. In addition, many service stations have retail vending areas  206  where as part of the products sold in retail, secondary fluids can be sold in containers. As part of  FIG. 3 , the retail secondary fluid  207  is shown next to a vehicle  208  and the retail vending area  206 . One of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that while the retail secondary fluid  207  is shown next to the retail vending area  206 , it can be located at any place. Often, to promote sales of gallons of window washing fluid, these will be stacked inside the retail vending area  206  or in the service area  202 .  FIG. 3  also shows that some service stations  200  also need a storage of secondary fluid at a repair secondary fluid supply area  209  at the vehicle repair area  210  as shown. This vehicle repair area  210  is the location where maintenance and repairs are offered where cars being maintained will need refueling of secondary fluid  211 . 
         [0024]    The first important unique concept of the below described invention relies on the fact that not only do the vehicle drivers at  204 , and  205  require secondary fluid, the employees of the service station  200  also must offer the fluid. The current system as shown forces the vehicle repair area  210  to store a large quantity of non-retail fluid  209  for use by the different mechanics. Currently, most of the service stations require drivers of vehicles  204 ,  201 , and  205  to drive to the retail vending area  206  as illustrated by vehicle  208  to grab retail secondary fluid  207 . The inventions shown at  FIGS. 1, and 2  from the prior art removes the retail secondary fluid  207  as shown from the retail vending area  206  and places it directly at the retail vehicle service areas  202 ,  203 . 
         [0025]      FIG. 4  shows an overview of the service station  200  where a system  300  is shown for optimizing the use and the income generation by a service station  200  of washing fluids or any other secondary fluid  209 . This system  300  relies on the principle that as part of the currently existing process shown at  FIG. 3 , non-retail fluid  209  is already present in the vehicle repair area  210 . Each time a car is maintained, as part of the routine maintenance filters are changed, air is placed in the tires, and fluid is inserted in the different cars. The current system relies on the fact that a technician or an expert must already visit periodically these repair areas  210  to refill the liquid often found in a very large volume (for example 250 gallons). Since the call relates to a larger volume of fluid, this product has a lower cost per gallon (for example $0.50 per gallon) and the cost of the refill call is absorbed by the volume transaction. 
         [0026]    Small wall mounted dispensers  301 ,  302 ,  303 ,  304 ,  305 , and  306 , each described below, are connected via a set of valves to the main container  209  located inside the vehicle repair area  210  as shown or anywhere convenient for maintenance. While the system appears to be limited to one secondary fluid, for example window washing fluid, the system may in fact be equipped to handle several different secondary fluids. Having a single centralized storage for one or multiple fluids  209  allows for the change of the fluid, based on demand or weather conditions to be simple and efficient. In one embodiment, a purge of the lines can be used when the fluid is changed simply by walking an operator to teach of the dispensers  301  to  306  and holding them open over an opened drum as the fluid in the line flows out. 
         [0027]    One of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that as shown tubes can be used to help convey the fluid  209  to the different dispensers  301  to  306 . These tubes may be attached to the wall of structures or may be rested on the ground using stabilizers. Tubes  308  and  309  for example may be buried under the ground or simply be of a type which is resilient enough to withstand vehicle movements. In another embodiment, these tubes  308 ,  309 , can be joined at the hip inside of other cables or connectors already passing in the path of vehicles. 
         [0028]    As shown at  FIG. 4 , the inside wall of the vehicle repair area  210  can be lined with multiple wall mounted dispensers  301 ,  203 , and  303  each with a short distance hose and spout. For example, the vehicle repair area  210  can have multiple working bays each for holding a vehicle. This system allows the fluid to be closer to the needed vehicle location and prevent any spillage or waste. As shown, one dispenser  304  can be attached against a retail vending area  206  for example when an air system is provided. Air is different in many ways, for example a local compressor will produce the air at the desired pressure. The system is shown in association with a small station  200 . As can be imagined, the system as shown can be expanded to different size and shape installations. For example, for large rest areas for tucks, the system  300  can easily be adapted and the cost savings will be even greater. The logic of this single storage system can be extrapolated to multiple different structures. 
         [0029]      FIG. 5  a functional diagram of the fluid distribution system  400  as part of the system for optimizing the use shown at  FIG. 4  according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown, the system  400  can be connected to the different service fluids or energy found at for example the vehicle repair area  210 . As shown at  FIG. 5 , hydraulic pressured water can be used  402 , or pneumatic pressurized air  401  can be used. As part of vehicle repair areas  210 , these fluids (and others) are generally available. They rely on compressors or on the supply from an external source. As illustrated, these fluids  401 ,  402 , can be used by for example by one of multiple tools which will help process concentrated fluids  412 ,  413 , and  414  illustrated as fluid 1, 2, to N to the different local use or wall mounted dispensers  416  as shown with greater detail at  FIG. 4 . 
         [0030]    In one embodiment, a selector  406  can be either a three button AccuPro® from Hydro Systems® or an AccuDose® also from Hydro Systems®. These systems allow a proportional divider with selected dilution accuracy of the concentrated fluid  412 ,  413 ,  414  to which it is connected. A user sets dilution ratios for example 45 to 1 or even 250 to 1. In one embodiment, a three button solution is offered, the first for an “auto scrubber” dilution (30:1), the second for a “spray bottle” dilution (4:1), and the third for a “mop bucket” dilution (10:1). Also, the pneumatic pumping station with dilution used  403  can be for example of the type PECO Carwash Systems® model PE030 Low volume pneumatic pumping station. Finally, the buffer generator  410  as contemplated can be an HydroMinder® Model 515 from Hydro Systems®. The buffer generator  410  allows for the draw when required by a level detector in a dilution volume storage tank  411  from the reservoirs  412 ,  413 , and  414  and generation of a volume of needed diluted product for use at the local level or at the wall mounted dispensers  416 . Also as shown at  FIG. 5  is the use of monitoring leveling tools  415  and different monitoring tools and level detectors of all of the different elements shown in the system  400 . What is not shown as part of  FIG. 5  is how electricity and power is drawn from networks to help power elements which require powering as known in the art. 
         [0031]    One best mode currently sold is linked with the use of multiple fluid reservoirs  412 ,  413 , and  414  with several concentrator dilution selectors  404 . For example, a single setting dilutor can be mounted on reservoir 1  414 , and a two setting dilutor can be mounted on reservoir 2  412 . Some of the fluids include multi-purpose concentrated degreasers, and washer-fluids. 
         [0032]    Hosting of the Control System 
         [0033]    In today&#39;s world, physical structures left and installed at multiple different locations require maintenance, monitoring, and supervision/access often using a wireless interface remote from the physical structures. The use of the Internet (an HTML based protocol) and of wireless portable devices using this HTML protocol or a different wireless protocol is used. This section along with  FIGS. 6, and 7  describe one of the multiple different hosting systems which house software programmed to operate in this hardware layer. 
         [0034]    To implement the transfer of services and associated transfer of resources, what is used in the current invention is a fully automated or partly automated system  600  as shown at  FIG. 6 .  FIG. 6  shows generally how in today&#39;s environment multiple parties  606 ,  607  can use computer stations  604 ,  605  equipped with a display, a user interface and a processor unit connected to a memory to execute software for use by the parties. As shown, these parties  606 ,  607  are now capable of using  609  portable devices  608  instead of a computer station  604 ,  605 , for example handheld devices  610 ,  611 ,  612 ,  613  having transceivers to connect to wireless networks, or transceivers to connect via web servers to the Internet  603  or any other network. 
         [0035]    Generally, multiple different systems will be connected directly or indirectly to the parties&#39; software, for example on a server  602 . Different users  601  will then be able to connect remotely via the Internet  603  or other network communication systems to the different parties. The structure shown at  FIG. 6  is illustrative only generally of the technology layer in the form of hardware used by the different parties, for example the users of the system, those who maintain the system shown at  FIGS. 3-5 . As shown in this figure, an app store at which, for example, software apps can be purchased or uploaded may be illustrated by the server  602 . 
         [0036]    One of ordinary skill in the art will understand that each of the users may be equipped with some of the hardware illustrated at  FIG. 6  as part of the process described above.  FIG. 7  illustrates one possible software layer made of multiple interlaced applications and layers of software opening in hardware, for example the structure shown at  FIG. 6  for services such as those described in tandem with the use of the system shown at  FIGS. 3-5 . In the overall software system  700 , a stand-alone executable program, such as an program in app format (called an app) is uploaded into a storage server  701 , for example an app store. Users will then access the store on the server using the network  705  and receive via the normal interface either a user device version  707  or a service provider version  708  based on the type of party uploading the app from the server  701 . In one embodiment, a single version of the app can be produced for upload irrespective of the type of party (user or service provider). The app is then stored on the memory of the storage device used by the user  702  and the memory of the service provider device  703 . For example, a doctor and a nurse can upload the app from the app store  701  onto their own handheld devices  703 . A patient can also upload the app from the store  701  into a handheld device  702  for access. As shown by the arrows around the network  705 , the users and the service providers can then be connected to each other via the network, using the app as executed in the software layer of each device. In addition to an App, what is also contemplated is the use of an HTML interface programmed specifically for wireless phones. 
         [0037]    What is not shown is the computer software and hardware needed to create and upload the app to the app store  701 . As with most Apps, once the software is made to execute, it can require either a regular data connection, regular updates or a live constant data connection with a back-end database that stores and makes the data available to the apps. The back-end server  704  can use any type of server and database commercially available on the market, for example an Oracle database. Data will then be exchanged between the different devices  701 ,  702 ,  703 , and  704  using regular port technology, transceivers, wireless or non-wireless technology, and for example different HTML/API tools and layers to help with interface and communication of data. For example, the app of multiple users  702  may be programmed so at any moment at which a nurse or a doctor contact is initiated, the app will connect with the back-end database  704  and/or the status of the multiple service providers  703  to determine which link and connection should be immediately established or programmed for appointment. The data sent back to the doctor  703  may include client medical information and other relevant information. As the doctor and the patient use the network  705  to communicate, the doctor may use the software to help generate needed information from the database  704  or to get information about the user  702  from his/her device. While one structure of data communication is described, what is contemplated is the use of multiple devices, each with one or multiple versions of an app used and designed to exchange information together or with a back-end server. 
         [0038]    Finally,  FIG. 7  shows how other, generally remote external layers of data and information  706  can be connected to the system over the network  705 . For example, in a case in which a user&#39;s software layer  703  is engaged in a one-to-one communication with a remote device software layer  702 , the user may have a need to schedule an appointment to maintain or request maintenance. 
         [0039]    The current disclosure relates to a system, software and hardware enabled in software that functions either in a new software layer or as pages of HTML format or other format in a browser of network information such as Internet information. This system is at the heart of a global, fully integrated platform in which clients can be connected directly with their service providers (users). The system  600  relies generally on the Internet  603 , where several elements  601 ,  602 ,  604  and  605  are connected. For example, in one embodiment, a user  605  using a fixed terminal  613 , a portable tablet  612 , a web-enabled phone  611  or a WAP-enabled phone  610  or any other device  608  to communicate with a service provide  607  who is also using a device  604  such as a fixed terminal  613 , a portable table  612 , a web-enabled phone  611  or a WAP-enabled phone  610  or any other device  608 . 
         [0040]    Tank Monitoring Software Interface 
         [0041]    An HTML indexed database is accessed via the internet through a normal web-portal with password and username or the same via a wireless interface. The owner of one or multiple systems in which multiple fluid reservoirs 1, 2, N as  412 ,  413 , and  414  can log in to get critical information on each of the reservoir fluid levels. For each of the reservoirs 1, 2, to N, each will be given a different page. In one embodiment, once a person is logged in, he or she will be given general tank details, like (a) a tank name, (b) the name of the service provider, (c) the Cellular ID number, (d) a serial number, (e) the number of tanks placed, (f) the physical location &amp; an associated map, and (g) the description of the product within the tank. While these parameters are listed, one ordinary skill in the art will recognize that any number of attributes can be listed. 
         [0042]    As shown in great detail at  FIG. 8 , multiple key metrics can be monitored permanently for each tank. For example, an alarm status, a communication status, a maintenance status, a sensor status, the level in inches in the tank, the inventory in gallons, the type of tank, the height of the tank, the temperature of the tank, the level in percentage, the signal strengh of the sensor, and the battery level. 
         [0043]    The level of data available via this interface also offers inventory tracking, for example as shown at  FIG. 9  a time sensitive graph which illustrates the available volume over time. At  FIG. 10 , more information can be given to a user, which includes a call schedule information to request calls and refills, an alarm setting section and basic device information which includes internal information of the device. In addition, inventory records are made available with a complete breakdown of each day with status, level in inches in a tank, levels in gallons, etc. 
         [0044]    Client Software Interface 
         [0045]      FIG. 9  shows the home interface of a HTML-based and portable wireless device general menu  1100 . The first button  1101  relating to “new sales” directs to a contact with a local account manage who will immediately engage with the user. In some embodiments, a form must be filled and the account manager will contact the user directly. The use of the “reorder” button  1102  directs an existing user to a local service manager who will also in turn contact the user either after a form is filled with contact information or directly via phone or electronic contact. The next button named simply “service”  1103  does not related to reorder or resupply of quantity of product, instead a local service manager contacts the person directly. For example, if an existing client sees damage done to the system described above, the service  1103  button will be pressed. If the client desires to order more stock of the product, the button reorder  1102  will be pushed. 
         [0046]    Button “environment”  1104  relates to all matters linked with the environment. In this field, many different issues can arise. For example, if a person discharges some or part of the products in a drain, the client may desire information. Other questions may also be raised. Finally, many products come with Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs). These documents contain information on the potential hazards (health, fire, reactivity and environmental) and how to work safely with the chemical product. By touching “MSDS” on the interface  1105 , a list of these MSDS is given to the user.
