Abstract
A method for providing information via an interactive display system includes activating the system when inputting a command by touching an interactive display screen. The command is transmitted to a remote client computer via a KVM extender. The client computer processes the input command and generates and sends a data request to a server computer associated with the database via a computer network. The database is searched for data corresponding to the data request, and any dynamic data is compiled and formatted into a template-based dynamic web page. Any dynamic graphic layouts are also incorporated. The retrieved data corresponding to the data request is transmitted from the client computer to the interactive display screen via the KVM extender, where it is displayed in a user-friendly web page format. The system can be easily updated by modifying data using customized database forms accessed through the server computer.
