First Claim
1. A computer-readable medium comprising instructions that perform a method when executed by a processor, for establishing a process for displaying information at least one remote terminal, wherein said information is displayed based on criteria established at a central terminal, wherein the method comprises:
- at the central terminal;
selecting one or more sets of rules out of a plurality of pre-defined sets of rules for displaying the information at said at least one remote terminal;
based on said selected one or more sets of rules, creating one or more virtual tokens;
forwarding the one or more virtual tokens to the at least one remote terminal;
at said at least one remote terminal;
receiving said one or more virtual tokens;
deriving from said one or more virtual tokens an identification of one or more corresponding set of rules;
based on said identified one or more set of rules, uploading one or more corresponding software modules operative to retrieve information originated at least one additional source for use at said at least one remote terminal;
generating a display of information that comprises information retrieved by using said one or more corresponding software modules; and

Abstract
A method is provided for displaying information at remote terminals, based on criteria established at a central terminal. At the central terminal, a set of rules is selected out of a plurality of pre-defined sets of rules for displaying the information at the respective remote terminal, and based on the selected set of rules, a virtual tokens is created, which is then forwarded to the respective remote terminal. The token is received at the remote terminal, and the identification of the corresponding set of rules is derived. Based on the identified set(s) of rules, one or more corresponding software modules operative to retrieve information originated at additional source(s) is uploaded for use at the respective remote terminal. Next, a display of information that comprises information retrieved by using the corresponding software modules is generated and presented at the remote terminal.
