Vehicle transaction processing

A method, comprising:

• automatically pushing, by a transaction manager executing on a processor of a cloud processing environment, notifications to a transaction interface operational within a vehicle as the vehicle is within a first configurable distance of a facility;
• automatically detecting, by the transaction manager, the vehicle at the facility through notification sent from the transaction interface operational within the vehicle;
• tracking and reporting, by the transaction interface of the vehicle, a position of the vehicle at the facility relative to devices of the facility based on wireless signal strengths received from transceivers of the devices and noted by the transaction interface and reported by the transaction interface;
• identifying, by the transaction interface of the vehicle, a device among the devices based on a strongest one of the wireless signal strengths that is provided by that device's transceiver and noted by the transaction interface, and providing, by the transaction interface, a Media Access Control (MAC) address that identifies the device, wherein providing further includes sending, by the transaction interface, the MAC address when the vehicle is within a second configurable distance from the device;
• facilitating, by the transaction interface of the vehicle, the device's transceiver, and the transaction manager, an in-vehicle connection to the device at the facility by at least one or more automated informational messages sent to the transaction interface operational within the vehicle that identifies the device to the vehicle and other devices equipped for connecting over the in-vehicle connection;
• initiating, by the transaction manager, a transaction at the device before the customer exists the vehicle for the transaction by activating a fuel pump for dispensing fuel, wherein the device is the fuel pump;
• automatically transacting, by the device and the transaction interface of the vehicle using the transaction manager and the device's transceiver, over the in-vehicle connection by automatically applying default settings associated with a customer without any human interaction, and wherein the automatically transacting further includes transacting without the customer interacting with the transaction interface of the vehicle, wherein the automatically transacting further includes indirectly transacting between an interface of the device and the transaction interface of the vehicle through the transaction manger that is in communication with the interface of the device and the transaction interface of the vehicle, wherein the interface of the device is an existing and legacy interface of the device that is enabled to transact with the transaction manager but not with the transaction interface of the vehicle, wherein automatically transacting further includes obtaining a profile for the customer of the vehicle and using a level of interaction required by the customer and defined by a preference for performing transactions in the profile to perform the transaction;
• processing the automatically pushing, the automatically detecting, the tracking and reporting, the identifying, the facilitating, and the automatically transacting without the customer interacting with any existing external situated device interface;
• and
• finalizing, by the transaction manager, the transaction when the customer returns a fuel hose back into a holster at the fuel pump.
