Abstract

Various exemplary devices, systems, and methods for dynamic management of display content are provided. In general, a terminal can be configured to output media to a user of the terminal, such as by showing media on a display of the terminal, which can be a fuel dispenser or other type of terminal. In an exemplary implementation, the terminal is configured to receive media information from a remote system that is located remotely from a site that includes the terminal. The media output by the terminal is based on the received media information but is configured to be customized locally before being output by the terminal. The local customization is configured to dynamically configure the media information to include at least one customized aspect specific to the terminal and/or to the site at which the terminal is located.

Claims (44)

1 . A media management system, comprising:

a terminal configured to display customized graphical media content on a display of the terminal, the customized graphical media content customized dynamically at the terminal in response to a user interaction with the terminal and characterizing default graphical media content corresponding to default data configured at and received from a remote server;

wherein the customized graphical media content is customized based on a relationship data defining degree of similarity between the default data and at least one first rule configured at the remote server, the relationship data generated via executable relationship logic configured at the remote server, which when executed outputs the relationship data, the at least one first rule defining the customization of the default graphical media content, the default data including the relationship data; and

the customized graphical media content is customized based on at least one second rule configured locally to the terminal and corresponding to the at least one first rule.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the terminal is configured to receive the default data directly from the remote server; and

the terminal is configured to customize the received default graphical media content.

3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the terminal is configured to receive the default data indirectly from the remote server via an intermediary computing system; and

the terminal is configured to customize the received default graphical media content.

4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein an intermediary computing system is configured to receive the default data from the remote server; and

the intermediary computing system is configured to customize the received default graphical media content and to provide the customized graphical media content to the terminal.

5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the interaction of the user with the terminal includes a user input to the terminal.

6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the default graphical media content includes default graphical promotion data characterizing default media content; and

the customizing includes adding price information.

7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the terminal is a fuel dispenser;

the default graphical media content includes content regarding car washing; and

the customizing includes customizing at least one of car wash price information, car wash type information, and car wash action information.

8 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the terminal is a fuel dispenser;

the default graphical media content includes content regarding fuel; and

the customizing includes customizing at least one of fuel price information, fuel type information, and fuel grade information.

9 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the terminal is a fuel dispenser;

the fuel dispenser is configured to receive the default data directly from the remote server; and

the fuel dispenser is configured to customize the received default graphical media content.

10 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the terminal is a fuel dispenser;

an intermediary computing system located at a same fueling station as the fuel dispenser is configured to receive the default data directly from the remote server; and

the fuel dispenser is configured to customize the default graphical media content.

11 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the terminal is a fuel dispenser;

an intermediary computing system located at a same fueling station as the fuel dispenser is configured to receive the default data directly from the remote server;

the intermediary computing system is configured to customize the received default graphical media content; and

the fuel dispenser is configured to receive customized data characterizing the customized graphical media content from the intermediary computing system.

12 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the terminal is a dispenser configured to dispense a good.

13 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the terminal is one of an automatic teller machine, an electrical charging kiosk, an air machine, a parking meter, and a vending machine.

14 . A computer-implemented method, comprising:

receiving, from a remote server, default data characterizing default graphical media content configured to be displayed on a display of a terminal, the default data including relationship data defining a degree of similarity between the default data and at least one first rule configured at the remote server and defining customization of the default graphical media content, the relationship data generated via executable relationship logic configured at the remote server, which when executed outputs the relationship data;

in response to interaction of a user with the terminal, dynamically customizing the received default graphical media content to include at least one customized aspect specific to at least one of the terminal and a site at which the terminal is located based on the relationship data and at least one second rule configured locally to the terminal and corresponding to the at least one first rule; and

displaying the customized graphical media content on a display of the terminal.

15 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the terminal receives the default data directly from the remote server, and the terminal customizes the received default graphical media content.

16 . The method of claim 14 , wherein an intermediary computing system receives the default data directly from the remote server;

the intermediary computing system customizes the received default graphical media content; and

the method further comprises the terminal receiving customized data characterizing the customized graphical media content from the intermediary computing system.

17 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the default graphical media content includes default graphical promotion data characterizing default media content; and

the customizing includes adding price information.

18 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the terminal is a fuel dispenser.

19 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the terminal is a dispenser configured to dispense a good.

20 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the terminal is one of an automatic teller machine, an electrical charging kiosk, an air machine, a parking meter, and a vending machine.
