Computer-implemented systems and methods are provided whereby Users can dynamically configure and control the use of their preferences for both types and modality of interactions with multiple Provisioners. These inventive systems and methods also enable Provisioners to gain access to User preferences to establish or affect interactions and transactions with Users. Advantageously, these inventive systems and methods provide User control of the receipt of content, matter/substance, experiences and interactions, to enable consolidating management of the User's “interaction profile” into a unified system, while increasing the quality and depth of the relationship between the User and the Provisioner, including but not limited to the creation of emotional/affinity ties to the Provisioner. Furthermore, multiple instances of User profile data can be shared amongst multiple Provisioners in a way that creates affinity between Users and Provisioners and improves User experience, while maintaining User anonymity.

A system and method for automating dispensing operations such as vehicle fueling operations. The system properly matches a dispenser to a port on a specific container, thereby insuring that the proper substance is loaded into the proper container. A passive or active RF/ID module is attached to the dispenser assembly. A fuel port antenna located on the container's port is used to communicated with this RF/ID module. The fuel port antenna's driving circuitry is able to step through multiple frequencies within a defined frequency band. A suitable transmission frequency is determined and stored in memory. A container-specific frequency is thereby determined and stored for future use. The use of this optimized frequency serves the dual purposes of maintaining only a short-range R/F link while also ensuring the reliability of that link.
