Publication number: 20240111552Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2023Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: John Joseph Morris, Dan Seymour, Meer Parekh, Scott R. Negley, III, Anand Krishna, Rohith Chinnaswamy
