ABSTRACT:
A graphics display system for a fuel dispenser that is responsive to segments of time, or dayparts, and also shows both pre-made, professional-looking advertisements, as well as locally made text messages. In a preferred embodiment, the graphics display system utilizes the display terminal associated with a card reader device, a display controller with memory, a customer activated terminal ("CAT"), and a point-of-sale ("POS") controller. The system receives graphic frames from a personal computer as well as the POS controller. The system then arranges the graphic frames into chains that are appropriate to the specific day parts. The system also allows individuals to control, insert and delete graphic frames into the chains, thereby making the chains more appropriate for each fuel dispenser as well as each daypart.
