Abstract
A data transfer method includes receiving terminal server identification data at a host system from a terminal server, querying a database to obtain localized information service data associated with the terminal server identification data, and sending the localized information service data from the host system to the terminal server. A host system providing localized information system data includes a database system, a network interface, and a processor. The database system includes records to associate terminal server identification data with information service data. The interface couples the host system to a communications link over which the host system can exchange data with a terminal server. The processor is coupled to the interface and to the database and is configured to receive terminal server identification data from the data interface, to query the database for localized information service data associated with the terminal server identification data, and to send the localized information service data obtained by the query to the data interface for transmission to the terminal server.

22. A method for data transfer between a host system, a database, a client computer, and a terminal server, the method comprising:
-
receiving, at a host system, a terminal server identifier of a terminal server, from the terminal server;
determining a geographic location of the terminal server;
querying a database to identify geographic location specific service data associated with the geographic location of the terminal server; and
automatically sending the geographic location specific service data associated with the geographic location of the terminal server from the host system to a client computer. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 30, 31, 32)

33. A host system comprising:
-
a database including a record associating a terminal server identifier with service data specific to a geographic location;
a data interface configured to exchange data with a terminal server disposed in a geographic location via a communications link; and
a processor configured to;
receive the terminal server identifier of the terminal server via the data interface, determine the geographic location of the terminal server, query the database to identify geographic location specific service data associated with the geographic location of the terminal server, and automatically send the geographic location specific service data associated with the geographic location of the terminal server to a client computer via the data interface. - View Dependent Claims (34, 35, 36, 37)

38. A computer-readable medium having stored therein a computer program comprising computer instructions to be executed by a computer for causing the computer to:
-
receive a terminal server identifier of the terminal server, from the terminal server;
determine a geographic location of the terminal server;
query a database to identify geographic location specific service data associated with the geographic location of the terminal server; and
automatically send the geographic location specific service data associated with the geographic location of the terminal server to a client computer. - View Dependent Claims (39, 40, 41, 42, 43)

44. A method for data transfer between a host system, a database, a client computer, and a terminal server, the method comprising:
-
receiving, at a host system, a terminal server identifier of the terminal server, from the terminal server;
determining, at the host system, a geographic location of the terminal server using the terminal server identifier;
maintaining, at the host system, the geographic location specific service data;
querying, at the host system, a database to identify the geographic location specific service data associated with the geographic location of the terminal server; and
automatically sending the geographic location specific service data associated with the geographic location of the terminal server from the host system to a client computer, wherein the host system is a single source for accessing the geographic location of the terminal server, maintaining the geographic location specific service data, and sending the geographic location specific service data to the terminal server. - View Dependent Claims (45, 46)
