DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0091] disclosure as well as other applications derived from such primary use.

[0092] The disclosure has two processes that occur simultaneously as shown in FIG. 1. The first one is related to the cycle in which the user is immersed (1) which by means of a smart container (10) which has a user identification element (11), can be supplied with a certain product through a dispensing device (30) arranged at supply points or sale points.

[0093] A new user (1) who wishes to use the system of this application must access the user interface (20) through an electronic device such as a cell phone, a computer, or one of the dispensing devices (30), to create a user account with user data allowing the user (1) to establish communication between their user account and the different identification and control modules arranged in the dispensing devices (30).

[0094] After creating the user account, the user (1) must purchase a container (10) in order to receive the products from the dispensing device (30). Said container (10) can be purchased from the same dispensing device (30) or at multiple acquisition points spread over kilometers around the dispensing devices (30).

[0095] Now, the user (1) only needs to ensure that there is a balance available in his user account which can be designed, for example, as an e-wallet to be able to carry out his first supply of products. Said balance can be recharged through the user interface (20) in one of the dispensing devices (30), or automatically by having an online payment method configured in the user account.

[0096] The user (1), through the user interface (20) establishes the product or products to be purchased and their amount, after which he must establish communication between the user interface (20) and the identification and control module of any of the dispensing devices (30). Once the user (1) physically meets the

[0097] If there is sufficient balance and product available the product is dispensed in the amount selected by the user (1). After this, the value of the recharge is deducted from the user (1) balance and the user (1) can remove the container (10) from the dispensing area.

[0098] On the right side of FIG. 1, the process that occurs parallel to the one described above associated with the operators in charge of the system, can also be observed. This process corresponds to the process of supplying the dispensing devices (30) which must be moved by vehicles (42) from warehouses or product storage points (41) to the resupply points or by means of supplying vehicles (42) they can go through the different devices (30) to carry out the corresponding product refills wherein said supplying vehicles (42) are filled in said warehouses (41). In addition, in the FIG. 1 it can be seen that the warehouse (41) is fed directly from the product factory (40), for example, fast moving consumer goods factories (FMCG). Alternatively, dispensers (30) can be sourced directly from factories (40).

[0099] Each of the dispensing devices (30) has sensors and alarms that allow the operators in charge to be notified when any of the products has a certain level predefined by the operator in charge, for which it is necessary to manage a refill.

[0121] Based on this solution, the problem of having shelves of multiple formats for each of the products is eliminated, therefore all the presentations can be at a single point in the dispensing device (30) which reduces the required space increasing the retailer profit per square foot.

[0122] In addition, the owners of each product can be offered incentives for having larger dispensing areas and/or for having a greater number of dispensing devices (30) in a specific sales

[0123] Another embodiment of the disclosure relates to the issuance of green bonds for companies because of the carbon footprint decrease due to the use of the present technology system where based on consumption information, the traceability of the positive environmental impact, such as the carbon dioxide that has stopped being emitted into the environment, can be obtained.

[0124] This accurate traceability enables to assign a value to the impact and thus be able to commercialize green bonds among the companies that achieve the greatest decrease, for example. This solution provides an accurate measurement of the environmental impact generated by the massive consumption of each of the products associated with the dispensing devices (30) and by the system user (1).

[0125] Following the same logic described for use in veterinary applications, a vehicle such as a car could be used as a container (10) having a user identification element (11) associated with the car owner's user account, where when the user (1) arrives with his car at a gasoline station a communication will be established between the car's user identifier element (11) and the identification and control module of the dispensing device (30), in this case gasoline dispenser, after which if there is sufficient balance to cover the amount of gasoline requested by the user (1) through the user interface (20), it will be enough for said user (1) to place the dispensing gun in the inlet of the car's fuel tank to start loading.

[0126] The entire operation must be subject to an authorization that the user (1) must give before starting loading, in order to prevent other people who drive the vehicle from carrying out fuel loads without the authorization of the user (1) to whom the user identification element (11) is associated. Such authorization may be given through the user interface (20) or through the display device of the dispensing device (30).

[0127] In addition, thanks to this system the user (1) will be

[0128] In another embodiment of the disclosure, thanks to the possibility of having accurate traceability of the products dispensed through the dispensing devices (30), it is possible to carry out an online and constant supervision of the perishable products quality by means of the dispensing device (30) different sensors, in order to be able to maintain the cold chains necessary for a proper preservation of the products.

[0129] In addition, in the event of problems with any of the products dispensed by one or more dispensers (30) in relation to quality problems in their production processing, it is possible to monitor the users (1) who have purchased said product, being able to quickly contact them through the user interface (20) or other forms of communication in order to warn consumers about any measures to be taken with said product.
