Abstract
Management of fuel dispenser media is provided. In general, a fuel dispenser can be in communication with a media library configured to facilitate delivery of media to the fuel dispenser for output therefrom. The media library can be on board the fuel dispenser or can be included in a gateway configured to communicate with the fuel dispenser. The media library is configured to query one or more media sources for media information and to retrieve media information therefrom that is specific to the fuel dispenser. Additionally or alternatively, the media library is configured to query the one or more media sources for updates to the retrieved media information and, if updated, to retrieve the updated media content from the media source(s).
Claims20
A fuel dispenser, comprising:
- a display;
- and
- a computing device operably coupled to the display and comprising a transceiver, a memory storing instructions, and a processor configured to execute the stored instructions, which when executed cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- transmitting a request for media to a network accessible data repository using the transceiver, the request for media comprising loyalty program data identifying a user of the fuel dispenser and provided as a query for updated media stored at the network accessible data repository and received therefrom following a prior request for media transmitted to the network accessible data repository using the transceiver,
- receiving the updated media from the network accessible data repository in reply to the request for media, and
- providing the updated media via the display to the user of the fuel dispenser.
A method of managing fuel dispenser media, comprising:
- transmitting, by a transceiver of a computing device operably coupled to a fuel dispenser, a request for media for the fuel dispenser to a network accessible data repository, the request for media comprising loyalty program data identifying a user of the fuel dispenser, the request for media transmitted as a query for updated media stored to the network accessible data repository and received following a prior request for media transmitted to the network accessible data repository from the transceiver;
- receiving, by the transceiver, updated media from the network accessible data repository in reply to the request for media;
- and
- providing, via a display of the fuel dispenser, the updated media to the user of the fuel dispenser.
