COMPLEX AUTOMATIC SYSTEM FOR SELLING WATER Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC G07F15/04 

FIELD: information technology.

SUBSTANCE: automatic system for selling water is a row of points of sale 1 connected by cellular communication to a control centre 2, and built based on a computer 3 (or personal computer) with information 5 and touch 6 screens for displaying client dialogue and inputting the necessary data. The process of releasing water takes place after authorisation of a plastic card on an electronic card reader 8 connected to the computer 3. If there are sufficient funds on the card, the requested volume of water is released. A signal controlling the release of water from the computer 3, through an electronic converter 11, sends control signals to a water pump 10 and an electromagnetic valve 14, while monitoring the volume of the released water based on service signals of a water volume electronic counter 13. Data on intake and consumption of water received by apparatus for filling the card and other information are transmitted over cellular communication channels to the control centre 2, where all commodity and financial reports are formed, and operation of all points of sale is monitored.

EFFECT: enabling batching of water in a wide range of volumes.
