  • This invention relates generally to the field of marketing, and more particularly to computer software and a method for allowing for information exchange with a potential consumer.
  • Web The World Wide Web
  • Web servers i.e., computers, connected by a global communications network, the Internet.
  • Users of the Web may request transfer of ("download") files to their own computers for viewing, storing, use, etc. using Web browser software running on the user's computer, as is well known in the art.
  • Some software are available for downloading from the Web. Some software is designed to fully function indefinitely upon installation on a user's computer. Such software, referred to as “commercialware,” may typically be obtained and used only after payment of a purchase/license fee. Some software, termed “shareware,” is designed to function for a limited trial period. A user may download the software, install it on his computer, and use it for the trial period. Upon expiration of the trial period, the software ceases to function ("deactivates”) until it is reactivated after the users's payment of a fee. Sometimes a key code is provided to reactivate the software.
  • a user who does not want to pay the fee may repeat the download and/or installation process in an attempt to defeat the license and use the software after expiration of the trial period. While some software will permit such practices, other software is provided with safeguards to prevent such practices and ensure payment of the fee.
  • “Liteware” is software designed to provide limited functionality for free to generate interest in the software, the full capabilities being available to a user only upon payment of a fee.
  • "Freeware” is fully functional software that does not have a limited trial period and for which no fee is sought. Accordingly, such software may be used indefinitely after downloading and installation.
  • EntryPoint software may be downloaded from EntryPoint's ("EP") Internet news and information services website at (presently at URL www.entrvpoint.com).
  • EP EntryPoint's
  • the user can subscribe to categories of information, e.g., sections of the Wall Street Journal newspaper.
  • EntryPoint software is distributed as freeware and supported by advertisers who pay to have their advertisements displayed by the EntryPoint software during its operation. The advertisements may be refreshed when updated information is transmitted to the user's computer.
  • the EntryPoint software and other similar software, is "pull" technology which allows the user to request additional information at whatever interval the user desires.
  • the present invention provides a computer software module ("module”) which can be associated with a computer program ("program”) for performing a function desired by a user.
  • the module monitors and controls a supply of a consumable element during operation of the program, and deactivates or locks the program upon depletion of the consumable element.
  • the program is akin to an automobile and the module's consumable element is akin to the automobile's fuel supply, which needs to be refreshed periodically to keep the automobile running. Accordingly, the program desired by the user is functional for a limited, but extendable, time.
  • a recharge facility e.g., a website, may be maintained for replenishing the consumable element.
  • the module therefore causes the user to return periodically to the recharge facility.
  • This provides the recharge facility with an opportunity to exchange information with the user and/or the user's module in exchange for a supply of the consumable element.
  • Such information may include, for example, user data provided by the user (herein “user-supplied data”), data on the habits or characteristics of the user gathered by the module (herein “user-gathered data”), user usage data compiled by the module during use of the program or other programs by the user (herein “usage data”), and display data relating to the time/frequency that certain information is displayed on the user's monitor (herein “display data").
  • the information obtained by the recharge facility can be used for various purposes. For example, this information may be used for target marketing, i.e., to select advertisements likely to be of interest to the user. Alternatively, the usage data may be used to rank or rate the popularity or desirability of certain types of programs, and, thereby, assess their worth or need for improvement. Yet in another embodiment, the display data for a particular user may be used as the basis for determining the charge to an advertiser for having its advertisement presented to that particular user.
