Inventor(s)Landsman; Rick W. (Waccabuc, NY), Lee; Wei-Yeh (New York, NY)
AbstractA technique for implementing in a networked client-server environment, e.g., the Internet, network-distributed advertising in which advertisements are downloaded, from an advertising server to a browser executing at a client computer, in a manner transparent to a user situated at the browser, and subsequently displayed, by that browser on an interstitial basis, in response to a click-stream generated by the user to move from one web page to the next. Specifically, an HTML advertising tag is embedded into a referring web page. This tag contains two components. One component effectively downloads, from an distribution web server and to an extent necessary, and then persistently instantiates an agent at the client browser. This agent "politely" and transparently downloads advertising files, for a given advertisement into browser cache and subsequently plays those media files through the browser on an interstital basis and in response to a user click-stream.
