DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention utilizes a homepage comprising a server computer system and a client computer system (including a portable terminal, a digital television, etc.) connected to the server computer system and operable by a user. The present invention relates to a system and a method for providing advertisement information.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art The Internet is made up of a large number of computers and computer networks, which are interconnected through communication links. Computers connected to each other exchange information using various services such as e-mail and World Wide Web (WWW). By using the WWW service, a Web page of graphics information (graphics, images, etc.) is transmitted from a server computer system (that is, a Web server or a Web site) to a remote client computer system. The remote client computer system displays the transmitted web page with a browser. Each resource of the WWW (for example, a computer or a Web page) has a URL (Uniform
form Resource Locator) can be accessed via a network.

A WWW server (Web server) sends an HTML (Hyper Te
Provides information such as xt Markup Language). The browser of the client computer system requests the transfer of information such as HTML to the WWW server of the computer having the URL according to the URL of the home page specified by the user. Upon receiving this, the WWW server transfers the HTML source code of the designated homepage to the browser of the client computer system. The client computer system analyzes the HTML sent from the WWW server, displays a display portion on a screen, and, when link information such as an image exists in the HTML, requests the WWW server to transfer the image. . Upon receiving this, the WWW server transmits an information file such as an image according to the request to the requesting client computer system. In this way, on the client computer system side, the information provided by the WWW server is displayed as a home page on the screen while performing a series of exchanges. Browser is Web
This is a special-purpose application program for requesting a page and displaying a Web page.

[0004] Web pages are defined using HTML. HTML consists of a collection of tags that define how a Web page is displayed. When the user instructs the browser to display the web page,
The browser defines the HTML that defines the Web page.
Send a request to the server computer system to transfer the document to the client computer system. When the requested HTML document is received by the client computer system, the HTML
Browser is Web as defined in the L document
Display the page. HTML documents are text,
Contains various tags that control the display of graphics, controls, and other features. The HTML document includes other Web services available on the server computer system or other server computer systems.
The URL of page b can be included.
