System and method for detecting fraudulent fueling operations

Abstract

A method for receiving a plurality of captures of a vehicle from a plurality of locations. Calculating a plurality of signatures of the vehicle, each respectfully associated with a corresponding capture from the plurality of captures. Associating the plurality of signatures resulting in a single signature and utilizing the single signature for identifying the vehicle.

1 . A method, the method comprises:
 a. receiving a plurality of captures of a vehicle from a plurality of locations;   b. calculating a plurality of signatures of said vehicle, each respectfully associated with a corresponding capture from said plurality of captures;   c. associating said plurality of signatures, said associating resulting in a single signature; and   d. utilizing said single signature for identifying said vehicle.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1  further comprises utilizing said single signature for identifying a second vehicle in a powering area and detecting a fraud. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1  further comprising utilizing said single signature for identifying a location of said vehicle outside of a powering area and detecting a fraud. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1  further comprising utilizing said single signature for identifying said vehicle outside of a powering area and detecting a fraud 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein an indication that at the first time fueling associated with the fueling transaction is in progress, is based on information from a dispenser associated with fueling transaction. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising analyzing at least one capture of the fueling transaction to identify the dispenser associated with fueling transaction. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising, in response to the determination of the suspicion of a fraud, providing an indication to a user. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising, in response to the determination of the suspicion of a fraud, causing the fueling to stop. 
     
     
         9 . A non-transitory computer readable medium storing data and computer implementable instructions for carrying out a method for:
 receiving a plurality of captures of a vehicle from a plurality of locations;   calculating a plurality of signatures of said vehicle, each respectfully associated with a corresponding capture from said plurality of captures;   associating said plurality of signatures, said associating resulting in a single signature; and   utilizing said single signature for identifying said vehicle.
