Abstract: A method and system for presenting information by geographical location in a geographical region includes a map data input and an operational data input. The map data input provides map data of a geographical region including geographical locations within the geographical region. The operational data input provides operational data associated with the geographical locations within the geographical region. A processor processes the map data and the operational data to generate a map display of the geographical region for presenting operational data by geographic location. The processor classifies the operational data into classifications and then associates the classifications and the operational data with the map data to generate the map display.

Abstract: User interfaces are distributed between a host computer 10 and an intelligent terminal 12 for communication over a telecommunications network 14 requiring minimum bandwidth. Host user interfaces 18 resident in the host computer 10 are distributed as terminal user interface objects 32 to the terminal 12. Terminal user interface objects 32 are directly manipulated on the terminal 12 and communicated on a filtered basis to the host computer 10 by a terminal port controller 34. Messages from the terminal 12 are directed by a host dispatcher 26 to host user interfaces which communicate with the host processor 16. Output messages from the host are routed through host and terminal port controllers 20 and 34, a terminal dispatcher 40 to terminal user interface objects 32.
