  • Publication number: 20240109765
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure include a method including receiving, by a data processor of a fuel dispenser, first data characterizing one or more applications to be displayed via a display of the fuel dispenser during a first application session. The first data including a configuration file including an application programming interface (API) uniform resource locator (URL) associated with a first remote server from which modified application data associated with the one or more applications may be received by the data processor by accessing the API URL. Embodiments may also include displaying, based on the first data, a first instance of at least one application in at least one display frame of the display, the at least one application configured to receive user inputs from a user of the fuel dispenser. Related apparatus, systems, and articles are also described.

  • Publication number: 20240111552
    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.

  • Publication number: 20240078620
    Abstract: In general, intelligent fuel dispensers are provided. In at least some implementations, an intelligent fuel dispenser can determine customer identities and/or other characteristics and provide customized fueling sessions based on the determined customer identities and/or other characteristics. In at least some implementations, the fuel dispenser includes a touchless interface allowing customers to complete fueling sessions with minimal physical contact with the fuel dispenser.

  • Patent number: 10074095
    Abstract: An embodiment of a method is disclosed, including but not limited to, dividing a reward token in a reward token data base into a plurality of reward token pieces based on a selection of plurality of end user data delivery vehicles on which an advertiser wants to send the reward token pieces to an end user; sensing end user activity on a communication network on at least one of the plurality of end user data delivery vehicles at one of a plurality of data delivery vehicle servers; sending from a first one of the plurality of data delivery vehicle servers, a first one of the plurality of reward token pieces to the end user on a first one of the plurality of end user data delivery vehicles; and sending from a second one of the plurality of data delivery vehicle servers, a second one of the plurality of reward token pieces to the end user on a second one of the plurality of end user data delivery vehicles. A computer program product and system for performing the method are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 9043589
    Abstract: One aspect of the invention is a method for providing restricted access to confidential services without impacting the security of a network. The method includes using a gateway to isolate one or more components providing confidential services from one or more other portions of an enterprise network. A first communication directed to a selected one of the one or more components may be received at the gateway. A determination may be made as to whether the first communication is user traffic or management traffic. The first communication may then be authenticated. If the first communication is user traffic, the first communication is forwarded to a component providing the confidential services. If the first communication is management traffic, the first communication is encrypted and forwarded to a component providing the confidential services. Additionally, components of the sub-network may be monitored to identify malicious changes.

  • Patent number: 7069269
    Abstract: An input stream in which a data source, a data target, source data fields and target data fields is defined. Any field identifier that is identical to another field identifier is modified to be unique. Once the field identifiers are modified as necessary, the source data fields will be mapped to the target data fields based on the field identifiers. After mapping, the field identifiers will be changed back to their original state, and data associated with the source data fields will be communicated to the data target.
