Multiple fueler operations for fuel information messaging system
First Claim
1. A method for managing multiple fueler operations in a fuel information messaging system, the method comprising:
- receiving secondary final fuel load data from a secondary fueling agent client device, said secondary final fuel load data indicating an amount of fuel dispensed from a secondary fueling vehicle into one or more fuel tanks during a fueling transaction;
storing the secondary final fuel load data in a secondary transaction record associated with the fueling transaction;
receiving primary final fuel load data from a primary fueling agent client device, said primary final fuel load data indicating an amount of fuel dispensed from a primary fueling vehicle into the one or more fuel tanks and an aggregate amount of fuel dispensed into the one or more fuel tanks during the fueling transaction; and
storing the primary final fuel load data in a primary transaction record associated with the fueling transaction, whereby selected portions of the primary transaction record and the secondary transaction record may be accessed for purposes of reporting and presentation.

Abstract
A fuel management server creates a primary transaction record for a primary fueling agent assigned to a fueling transaction and a secondary transaction record for each secondary fueling agent assigned to the fueling transaction. Each fueling agent interacts with a fueling agent client device to collect fueling transaction data to be stored in the transaction records. Certain transaction data collected by the secondary fueling agent is shared with the primary fueling agent. The primary transaction record stores final fuel load data indicating the amount of fuel dispensed from a primary fueling vehicle and an aggregate amount of fuel dispensed during the fueling transaction. The secondary transaction record stores final fuel load data indicating the amount of fuel dispensed from a secondary fueling vehicle during the fueling transaction. Selected portions of the primary transaction record and the secondary transaction record may be accessed for purposes of reporting and presentation.

11. A fuel information messaging system configured for multiple fueler operations, comprising:
-
a fuel management server for managing fueling transaction data;
a primary fueling agent client device for receiving primary fueling transaction data relating to a fueling transaction from the fuel management server and, in response to displaying the primary fueling transaction data along with a sequence of input prompts, receiving primary final fuel load data from a primary fueling agent;
a secondary fueling agent client device for receiving secondary fueling transaction data relating to the fueling transaction from the fuel management server and, in response to displaying the secondary fueling transaction data along with the sequence of input prompts, receiving secondary final fuel load data from a secondary fueling agent;
wherein the primary fueling agent client device transmits the primary final fuel load data to the fuel management server for storage in a primary transaction record corresponding to the fueling transaction; and
wherein the secondary fueling agent client device transmits the secondary final fuel load data to the fuel management server for storage in a secondary transaction record corresponding to the fueling transaction and in the primary transaction record. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A computer-readable medium having stored thereon data structures representing transaction records used for managing multiple fueler operations in a fuel information messaging system, comprising:
-
a primary transaction record including primary final fuel load data generated by a primary fueling agent client device during a fueling transaction, said primary final fuel load data indicating an amount of fuel dispensed from a primary fueling vehicle into one or more fuel tanks and an aggregate amount of fuel dispensed into the one or more fuel tanks; and
a secondary transaction record including secondary final fuel load data generated by a secondary fueling agent client device during the fueling transaction, said secondary final fuel load data indicating an amount of fuel dispensed from a secondary fueling vehicle into the one or more fuel tanks, whereby selected portions of the primary transaction record and the secondary transaction record may be accessed for purposes of reporting and presentation. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23)
