Abstract

The present invention provides a transparent software monitoring/advisory mechanism, allowing for intelligent interaction with a user. A software agent causes hooks to be embedded into target client applications. Messages relating to user feature selection are hooked and sent to a monitoring process including a receiver and a primary thread. The receiver thread receives hooked messages and performs 'asynchronous message reflection' of these messages to the primary thread, which catalogs messages and updates feature usage counts. The agent established communication with a remote server via a 'virtual' Internet connection that is imperceptible to the user such as a LAN or dial-up connection. the server sends the agent command files that govern the agent's behavior. The agent retrieves resources from the server required to carry out commands contained within the command files and uploads selected information such as usage count information to the server in accordance with the command files.
