Localization of clients and servers
First Claim
1. A method for data transfer between a host system, a database, a client computer, and a terminal server, the method comprising:
- establishing a data connection between a client computer and a terminal server, the terminal server being disposed in a geographic location;
receiving, at a host system, client data of the client computer and a terminal server identifier of the terminal server, from the terminal server;
determining the geographic location of the terminal server using the terminal server identifier;
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 the client computer.

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.

11. 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 client data of a client computer connected to the terminal server via a data connection and the terminal server identifier of the terminal server via the data interface, determine the geographic location of the terminal server using the terminal server identifier, 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 the client computer via the data interface. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)

22. A method for data transfer between a host system, a database, a client computer, and a terminal server, the method comprising:
-
establishing a data connection between a client computer and a terminal server, the terminal server being disposed in a geographic location; receiving, at a host system, client data of the client computer and a terminal server identifier of the terminal server, from the terminal server; determining, at the host system, the 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 the 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 (23, 24)
