- DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [0020] The present invention comprises a method of delivering content and advertisement. The following description is presented to enable any person skilled in the art to make and use the invention, and is provided in the context of a particular application and its requirements. Various modifications to the embodiments shown will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the generic principles defined herein may be applied to other embodiments and applications without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Thus, the present invention is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and features disclosed herein.
- FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a client and server and the general interaction therebetween according to one embodiment of the present invention.
- client 105 is coupled to server 110.
- server 110 is a web server
- client 105 is coupled to server 110 via the Internet.
- the server 110 includes the server-side software of the present invention.
- client 105 may be coupled to server 110 via an intranet or some other type of network.
- Figure 1 also shows, at a general level, the interaction between the client 105 and the server 110 in one embodiment of the present invention.
- the client 105 sends a request for a web page or web site to the server 110.
- the server 110 receives the request. If during the current session between the client 105 and server 110, the request is a first request from client 105 for the web page or web site, then the server 110 sends a frames page (also herein referred to as an index page or holder page) and a plurality of empty frames to the client 105. More specifically, a frames page, among other things, defining a plurality of empty frames is sent to the client 105.
- a frames page also herein referred to as an index page or holder page
- the page sent by the server 110 in response to the first user request can be a JavaScript script or a reference to a program that when executed by the browser effectuates the same result, i.e., establishing in the client browser a frames page and the plurality of empty frames.
- the request has no frames page identification and is a content request, then it is determined to be a first request.
- the request Universal Resource Locator (URL) refers directly to a content web page rather than an ad server component, then it is a first request.
- the client 105 stores the frames page and plurality of empty frames in the browser cache. Once the frames page is received at the client 105, it supersedes some of the browser functionality, particularly those relating to the user interface, at the client 105.
- two empty frames are sent from the server 110 to the client 105.
- One empty frame is a content frame for loading the requested web page.
- Another empty frame is an advertisement frame for loading an advertisement.
- three empty frames are sent from the server 110 to the client 105.
- the three empty frames include a content frame, an advertisement frame, and a daemon frame.
- the daemon frame is for storing a record of the browsing activity during the session.
- the frames page includes part of the client side software used in performing the method of the present invention.
- Figure 2 is a block diagram of major software components on the client side in one embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figure 2, major software components on the client side include a frames page program module 205, a content page program module 210, and an advertisement page program module 215.
- the frames page program module 205 includes software for performing the following functions: (1) handling hyperlink mouse click actions; (2) loading content; (3) loading advertisements; and (4) allocating screen area.
- the frames page program module 205 includes programming code, such as JavaScript scripts, for performing these functions.
- the JavaScript scripts are used with Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) codes.
- Appendix 1 shows an example of the JavaScript scripts included in the frames page program module 205. It is to be noted that the frames page program module 205 can be written in other languages besides JavaScript (e.g., JScript or other non-Java based languages).
- Handling the hyperlink mouse click actions involves monitoring for and responding to hyperlink mouse click actions.
- Loading content involves sending or prompting the sending of a request for the content of a web page, such as the web page previously requested by the client 105.
- loading the advertisement message involves sending or prompting the sending of a request for the advertisement message and loading the advertisement message into the advertisement frame.
- allocating screen area involves splitting the screen area allocated to the browser between the content frame and the advertisement frame. It also involves adjusting or reallocating the distribution of the screen area between the content and advertisement frames. As used herein splitting includes allocating screen area such that one of the frames has only a 0% of the screen area. For example, it includes making a 0% and 100% allocation of the screen area between the content frame and the advertisement frame.
- the client 105 sends a request for the content of the web page previously requested by the client 105.
- the server 110 retrieves the requested content and adds to the content page scripts for performing the following functions: (1) handling mouse click events; (2) handling window OnLoad events; and (3) handling window OnBeforeUnload events.
- These scripts may herein be referred to as scripts in the content page program module 210.
- the server 110 modifies the content page by rewriting URLs in the content page such that they include a reference to the server 110, more specifically the adext.dll module of the server 110. Each rewritten URL references a web page via the server 110, more specifically the adext.dll module of the server 110, rather than referencing the web page directly.
- the server 110 adds a one line JavaScript script to the content page. This one line JavaScript script intercepts hyperlink clicks on the content web page by the user. It also dynamically rewrites the URL corresponding to the hyperlink such that the user click is redirected to the server 110.
- an advertisement identification is added to the content page.
- the advertisement ID identifies an advertisement associated with the content page.
- the server 110 sends the content page with the scripts of the content page program module 210 to the client 105.
- the content page program module 210 includes instructions for performing the functions of: (1) handling mouse click events; (2) handling window OnLoad events; and (3) handling window OnBeforeUnload events.
- Appendix 2 shows an example of the JavaScript scripts included in the content page program module 210. It is to be noted that the code in the content page program module 210 can be written in other languages besides JavaScript (e.g., JScript or other non-Java based languages).
- Handling mouse click events involves monitoring for and responding to mouse click events. If the mouse click event involves a hyperlink click event, then the content page program module 210 notifies the frames page program module 205 of the event.
- Handling window OnLoad events involves three important functions: initiating the retrieval of subsequent content (using Ad ID, ad page is retrieved in this case), "content loaded" flag is set, and certain conditions are checked with configurations in the frames page to determine whether to load the next advertisement. In one embodiment, the performance of these functions involves notifying the appropriate scripts in the frames pages program module 205. Similarly, handling window OnBeforeUnload events involves handling events prior to the unloading of windows.
- An example of such an event includes setting up a number of global variables and LoadAd function is called in the holder scripts.
- the content page program module When content is unloaded from a content frame in the window, the content page program module notifies the frames page program module of the unloading. Thereafter, the frames page program module displays an advertisement in the advertisement frame on the window by resizing the content frame to 0% of the screen area and the advertisement frame to 100% of the screen area for interstitial display.
- the client 105 receives the content page, which includes the content page program module 210. Under the direction of the scripts for loading content, the empty content frame is filled with the content page. Thereafter, the content page is displayed on the screen at the client 105.
- the client 105 upon receiving the content page, per the instructions in the frames page, more specifically, the scripts for loading the advertisement message, the client 105 sends a request to the server 110 for the advertisement.
- the server 110 retrieves the advertisement page and adds to the advertisement page scripts for performing the following functions: (1) displaying buttons, such as "HOLD” and "HOME,” and (2) handling button click events for the "HOLD” and "HOME” buttons.
- the "HOME” button may also herein be referred to as a "LEARN MORE" button. Thereafter, the advertisement page with the above mentioned scripts is sent to the client 105.
- the advertisement page program module 215 includes instructions for performing the functions of: (1) displaying buttons, such as "HOLD” and “HOME” buttons, and (2) handling button click events for the "HOLD” and “HOME” buttons.
- Appendix 3 shows an example of the JavaScript scripts included in the advertisement page program module 215. It is to be noted that the code in the content page program module 210 can be written in other languages besides JavaScript (e.g., JScript or other non-Java based languages).
- the advertisement page program module 215 captures the "HOLD" button click event.
- the advertisement page program module 215 notifies the frames page program module 205 of the "HOLD" button click event.
- the frames page program module 205 continues to display the advertisement even if the content page with which the advertisement is associated is no longer displayed on the window.
- a user is able to surf through the web site while a video clip advertisement continues to play on the screen in split screen mode (which is described in greater detail below).
- the advertisement page program module 215 captures the "HOME" button click event. Thereafter, the advertisement page program module 215 notifies the frames page program module 205 of the "HOME" button click event.
- the frames page program module 205 opens a new browser window in which the home page of the advertiser is displayed.
- the URL of the advertiser's home page is stored in the database 340 (shown in Figure 3) and maintained using the administrative ASP pages 310 (also shown in Figure 3).
- the frames page program module 205 retrieves this URL from the database 340.
- an advertisement that is associated with the . content page is retrieved and sent to the client 105.
- the advertisement is selected based on the advertisement ID mentioned above.
- the advertisement is randomly selected from a list of advertisements that are associated with the content page.
- the advertisements are stored as HTML files on an advertisement server which may be server 110 or some other server.
- the HTML files may be rewritten by the Display Script to insure that HTML tags and attributes for image, flash, video, or other content refer to the correct URL within the web site.
- the client receives the advertisement page with the above mentioned scripts. Under the direction of scripts in the frames page for loading the advertisement message, the advertisement frame is filled with the advertisement page.
- the advertisement page is displayed on the screen concurrently with the content page in multiple frames. Such an embodiment is herein referred to as a split screen mode of the present invention.
- the advertisement page is displayed only between, in terms of time, the display of successive content pages. In other words, it is displayed during the interstitial time period between displaying content pages.
- the loaded advertisement page is stored in the browser cache while the web page content is displayed.
- the content frame and the advertisement frame are allocated 100% and 0% of the screen area (more specifically, the area allocated to the browser window), respectively. This allocation is maintained while the content page is active.
- the content frame and advertisement frame are allocated 0% and 100% of the screen, respectively. Consequently, the advertisement frame with the advertisement page therein is displayed on the screen at client 105.
- the advertisement page is displayed relatively quickly because, as noted above, prior to the adjustment in allocation it was already preloaded in the background in browser cache. [0041]
- the advertisement page is displayed until the next requested page is received by the client 105. The next requested page replaces the content page. Thereafter, the allocation to the content frame and advertisement frame is readjusted to 100% and 0%, respectively.
- the advertisement frame with the advertisement page therein is displayed until an advertisement duration timer runs out.
- the content frame and the advertisement frame are both allocated a non-zero percentage of the screen area.
- the content frame and the advertisement frame are allocated 80% and 20% of the screen, respectively.
- other non-zero percentages may be allocated to the content frame and the advertisement frame.
- the screen is divided vertically between the content and advertisement frames.
- the screen is divided horizontally between the content and advertisement frames.
- there may be a combination of horizontal and vertical division or some other type of division between the content and advertisement frames displayed on the screen.
- both the content frame and advertisement frame are allocated a non-zero percentage of the screen
- the content and advertisement frames (with the content and advertisement pages therein, respectively) are displayed together. If the content of the web page does not fit within the allocated space, e.g., 80% of the screen space, then the client would automatically add a horizontal scroll bar which a user may scroll to view the full page.
- the content page is filled before the advertisement page is received at the client 105, the content page is displayed in the area allocated to the content frame, while the empty advertisement frame is displayed in the area allocated to it. Once the advertisement is received at the client 105, it is displayed in the area allocated to the advertisement frame.
- the daemon frame is initially loaded with a blank page. It is thereafter loaded with server-side scripted content as needed.
- the JavaScript scripts in the advertisement page causes the daemon frame to load the Logger Script (logger.php) from the web site with query parameters containing the advertisement ID, user action taken, and content page being displayed.
- Appendix 4 shows an example of the JavaScript scripts included in the Logger Script (logger.php).
- FIG. 3 is a block diagram of major software components on the server side in one embodiment of the present invention.
- server 110 includes the following software components: system director 305, administration Application Service Provider ("ASP") pages 310, report ASP pages 315, frames processor 320, content processor 325, advertisement processor 330, advertisement hit processor 335, and database 340.
- ASP administration Application Service Provider
- Each of frames processor 320, content processor 325, advertisement processor 330, and advertisement hit processor 335 comprises software code.
- the software codes of these different processors may be executed on the same or different computer hardware devices.
- Server 110 forwards to system director 305 incoming requests for web pages.
- the system director 305 qualifies the request.
- Appendix 9 shows codes developed ( adfilter.dll) for the System director.
- the system director 305 determines whether a request for a web page is the first request during the current session between the client 105 and server 110. After qualifying the request, the system director 305 forwards the request to the appropriate one of frames processor 320, content processor 325, advertisement processor 330, and advertisement hit processor 335 based on the nature of the request. [0050] If the request is a first request, then system director 305 forwards it to frames processor 320. Frames processor 320 builds a frames page and empty frames which are sent to the client 105. The frames page and empty frames are described in greater detail above.
- the request is a second or subsequent request in the current session between the client 105 and server 110
- the request is forwarded to the appropriate one of content processor 325, advertisement processor 330, and advertisement hit processor 335 based on the nature of the request.
- Content processor 325 handles requests for content.
- Content processor 325 pulls the requested content page from database 340 and adds the content page program module 210 (shown in Figure 2) thereto. It thereafter forwards the content page with the content page program module 210 to the client 105 so that it would be filled into the content frame at the client 105.
- a content page program module 210 is appended to the requested content page, and the requested content page with the content page program module is sent to the client 105.
- the URLs in a content page are rewritten such that they include a reference to the server 110, more specifically the adext.dll module of the server 110.
- a one line JavaScript script is added to the content page.
- an advertisement ID is added to the content page.
- the content processor 325 performs the above modifications/additions to the content page.
- advertisement processor 330 handles requests for advertisements.
- Advertisement processor 330 retrieves an advertisement from the database 340 and adds the advertisement page program module 215 (shown in Figure 2) thereto. It thereafter forwards the advertisement page with the advertisement page program module 215 to the client so that it would be filled into the advertisement frame at the client 105.
- an advertisement page program module 215 is appended to the advertisement page before it is sent to the client 105.
- Appendix 5 shows an example of the JavaScript scripts included in the advertisement processor (AdExt.dll).
- the scripts in Appendix 5 include scripts for performing the functions of the following components in Figure 3: the system director 305, the frames processor 320, the content processor 325, the advertisement processor 330, and the advertisement hit processor 335.
- Database 340 may include the following tables: an advertisement table, a web sites table, a web sites advertisement links table, a clients table, a license table, a configuration table, and a hits (or tracking) table.
- the web sites advertisement links table links content pages with advertisements.
- a content page may have multiple associated advertisements.
- the multiple associated advertisements are displayed sequentially while displaying the content page with which they are associated.
- these advertisements are all shown for the same length of time. In another embodiment, some of these advertisements are shown for a longer period of time than others.
- the configuration table configures the software at the server side.
- the configuration table contains global options that control the overall operation of the advertising system.
- the keys and values stored in this table are loaded by and used by server-side scripts. In most cases, the key name for a specific configuration item is used as the variable name by which server-side scripts can access the configuration data.
- the present invention defines the following configuration options:
- the license table contains license keys issued to customers who have purchased or are licensed to use the software of the present invention.
- the license data includes license type codes, licensed product codes, and the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) of the web site to which a license has been granted, or the IP address if the web site does not have a FQDN.
- the license data is encrypted using the industry standard MD5 Hash algorithm producing a license key which the customer can install to activate the software of the present invention on their licensed web site.
- the client table lists clients and their associated web sites for the purpose of generating invoices for all advertising generated by that web site.
- the web site table lists the complete URL for each page that will display advertising and assigns a page ID to each page.
- the advertisement table lists all potential advertisements, including the client of the advertisement, the prices for impression, hold, and click-through events, the location of the advertisement HTML, the destination URL, and the duration that the advertisement should be displayed.
- the advertisement table is associated with the client table by client name, and with the web site table by page URL.
- the tracking table contains information about advertising events, including advertisement impressions, advertisement holds, and advertisement clicks.
- the table stores the advertisement ID, the content page URL, the date and time of the event, and the user action.
- the administration ASP pages 310 enable administration of the site.
- FIG. 4 is an interaction diagram for browsing a web site in conjunction with one embodiment of the method of the present invention.
- an index program module 410 returns 411 a frames page to the client.
- Loading of the frames page at the client triggers the loading of the content, advertisement, and daemon frames. More specifically, loading of the frames page triggers load requests for the content, advertisement, and daemon frames. It also triggers a request 412 to the content program module 415 to load the content frame with the contents of the web page that the user originally requested. In response to this request, the requested content is returned 416 to the user in the filled content frame.
- the content page program module 210 (shown in Figure 2) is appended to the content page.
- a one line JavaScript script, pointing to Adsys.php module in the server 110 is added to the content page.
- the Adsys.php based configuration performs much the same functions as the frame page or Index.php method (in which, as described above, the initial page sent from the server 110 includes the frameset definition code), but uses a different method to install the frameset operating environment needed by the software.
- Appendix 10 shows the code in the Adsys.php module.
- each web page in the site must be modified with the addition of a single line of JavaScript code at the top of the page text.
- the Adsys JavaScript line is added by the software through the administration screens. This single line accesses the Ad Server 110 to retrieve dynamically generated JavaScript code, which when executed at the browser, establishes the frameset, and loads the appropriate content into each frame just as the Index.php method does.
- the primary differences as compared to the Index.php method include (1) transparently installing the frameset environment such that the user cannot tell that the advertisement system is not in fact part of the original site content, (2) content caching is preferably not performed on the website content, and (3) click handling within the content frame is handled by JavaScript code that supersedes the normal browser and redirects clicks to the Advertisement Frame for handling.
- each of the requested content pages are processed by the server 110 (in one embodiment, the content processor 325 on the server 110) so that each URL in the content pages is rewritten.
- Each rewritten URL references a web page via the server 110, more specifically the adext.dll module of the server 110, rather than referencing the web page directly.
- an advertisement ID is added to the content page.
- Code in the frames page also sends a load advertisement request 413 to the advertisement program module 420.
- the advertisement frame causes an accessing 421 of the advertisement table 430 to get a list of advertisements associated with the content page being loaded into the content frame or most recently loaded into the content frame.
- the advertisement table 430 returns 431 the advertisement list to the advertisement program module 420.
- the advertisement program module 420 randomly selects an advertisement from the list.
- An advertisement page program module e.g., the advertisement page program module 215 (shown in Figure 2), is appended to the selected advertisement and returned 422 to the client.
- the advertisement ID in the content page is used to select an advertisement to be returned to the client.
- the frames page also sends to the daemon program module 425 a request to load a blank page 414 into the daemon frame.
- the daemon program module 425 returns 426 a blank static web page to the client.
- the static web page is blank in that it does not contain displayable or viewable content.
- the static web page includes scripts that survive transitions between displays of content in the content frame and advertisements in the advertisement frame.
- the advertisement page program module e.g., the advertisement page program module 215 (shown in Figure 2), captures these click events and sends a request for script to be loaded into the daemon frame.
- the advertisement page program module e.g., the advertisement page program module 215 (shown in Figure 2), also provides information regarding the click events to script in the daemon frame.
- the index program module 410, the content program module 415 and the advertisement program module 420 run on the server side, whereas the frames page program module 205, the content page program module 210, the advertisement page program module 215 run on the client side. It is also to be noted that, in one embodiment, the index program module 410 includes the frames processor 320 (shown in Figure 3). Similarly, in one embodiment, the content program module 415 includes the content processor 325 (shown in Figure 3). Similarly, in one embodiment, the advertisement program module 420 includes the advertisement processor 330 and advertisement hit processor 335 (shown in Figure
- Figure 5 is an interaction diagram for navigating a web site in conjunction with one embodiment of the method of the present invention.
- the interaction diagram of Figure 5 deals with navigating a web site enabled with the software of the present invention. More specifically, it deals with navigating such a web site after browsing the web site, such as, for example, as described in conjunction with Figure 4.
- code e.g., JavaScript scripts
- the content program module returns 511 the web page associated with the hyperlink to the client.
- the content page is processed and/or has scripts/information (such as scripts in the content page program module 210, the single line JavaScript script described above, or advertisement ED) appended thereto before it is returned to the client.
- This web page is loaded into the content frame, thus replacing the web page previously loaded in the content frame.
- a start advertisement display request 512 is sent from the content program module 510 to the advertisement program module 515.
- the advertisement program module 515 accesses 516 the advertisement table 525 to get a list of advertisements associated with the content being loaded into the content frame or most recently loaded into the content frame.
- the advertisement table returns 526 the advertisement list to the advertisement program module 515.
- the advertisement program module 515 randomly selects an advertisement from the list, and sends 517 the selected advertisement to the client.
- scripts (such as those included in the advertisement program module 215) are appended to the advertisement before it is returned to the client.
- the new advertisement is filled into the advertisement frame and is shown immediately in the advertisement frame on the client screen.
- the content program module 510 and the advertisement program module 515 like their counterparts in Figure 4 (i.e., content program module 415 and advertisement program module 420, respectively) run on the server side.
- the content program module 510 includes the content processor 325 (shown in Figure 3).
- the advertisement program module 515 includes the advertisement processor 330 and advertisement hit processor 335 (shown in Figure 3). [0071] The advertisement program module 515 also sends 518 a load logger script request to the daemon program module 520. Consequently, the daemon frame is loaded with the logger script. The daemon program module 520 sends 521 a request to the tracking table 530 to log the advertisement impression. As a result, the tracking table 530 records an impression event for the advertisement impression in the tracking table. Additionally, the daemon program module 520 returns 522 a blank page to the client.

- the new browser window 625 returns 626 the advertiser's web page to the client.
- code e.g., JavaScript scripts
- the advertisement program module 610 sends a log click-through request 612 to the daemon program module 615 to record the click- through in the tracking table 620.
- this request is sent at the same time as the request to load the advertisement URL.
- the daemon program module 615 sends an insert log record request 616 to the tracking table 620.
- the click-through log record is inserted into the tracking table 620.
- the tracking table 620 sends a return status message 621 to the daemon program module 615.
- the return status message indicates whether the click-through log record is successfully inserted into the tracking table.
- the daemon program module 615 returns 617 a blank web page to the client.
- the advertisement program module 610 like its counte ⁇ art in Figure 4 (i.e., advertisement program module 420) runs on the server side. It is also to be noted that, in one embodiment, the advertisement program module 610 includes the advertisement processor 330 and advertisement hit processor 335 (shown in Figure 3).
- Figure 7 is an interaction diagram for exiting a web site in conjunction with one embodiment of the method of the present invention.
- the interaction diagram of Figure 7 deals with exiting a web site enabled with the software of the present invention. More specifically, it deals with exiting such a web site after browsing the web site, such as, for example, as described in conjunction with Figure 4.
- ExtemalAds is disabled (i.e., not set to Yes)
- code e.g., JavaScript scripts
- the content program module 710 causes the external URL to be loaded 711 in the top level frames page, completely replacing the current web site content and advertisement with content from the external web site.
- clicking 706 the external hyperlink to a web site that is not enabled with the software of the present invention causes the content program module 710 to send a load external URL request 711 to the index program module 715.
- the index program module 715 returns 716 the external web page to the client.
- index program module 715 and the content program module 710 like their counte ⁇ arts in Figure 4 (i.e., index program module 410 and content program module 415, respectively), run on the server side. It is also to be noted that, in one embodiment, the index program module 715 includes the frames processor 320 (shown in Figure 3). Similarly, in one embodiment, the content program module 710 includes the content processor 325 (shown in Figure 3). [0077] Figure 8 shows a flowchart of major functions of the frames page builder script (index.php) in one embodiment of the present invention. Appendix 6 shows an example of JavaScript scripts included in the frames page builder script (index.php).
- step 805 when a user enters a site (e.g., a web site), in step 805, the server loads configuration into its memory. Thereafter in step 810, the server determines the target URL of the default page for the web site. In step 815, the server checks the license key to determine if the web site corresponding to the target URL is a licensed customer for using the software of the present invention. If it is determined in step 815 that the web site corresponding to the target URL is not a licensed customer, then the process continues at step 820. In step 820, the browser is directed to the target URL. Thereafter, the web page associated with the target URL is returned to the client.
- a site e.g., a web site
- the server loads configuration into its memory. Thereafter in step 810, the server determines the target URL of the default page for the web site. In step 815, the server checks the license key to determine if the web site corresponding to the target URL is a licensed customer for using the software of the present invention. If it is determined in step 8
- step 815 if it is determined in step 815 that the web site corresponding to the target URL is a licensed customer, then the process continues at step 825.
- step 825 the software at the server 110 builds a frameset with frame content URL's including the target page, i.e., the web page originally requested by the user.
- step 830 the server 110 sends the frameset and frames to the browser, more specifically, to the browser at the client.
- the content frame displays the original web site content, as modified by the Content Caching script (adload.php).
- the Content Caching script is included in the content program module 415. Seamless integration with existing web site content is achieved by rewriting many HTML tags and attributes, and appending JavaScript code to manage the routing of hyperlink click events to the advertisement frame.
- the frame loading script edits the content page to rewrite the HTML tags and append the JavaScript code to manage the routing of hyperlink click events to the advertisement frame. HTML tags may, for example, be rewritten so as to refer to the proper URL of the desired object.
- the appended JavaScript code is used to notify the advertisement frame of click events in the content page.
- the above functionality is performed by Microsoft Visual Basic Script code or JScript code instead of JavaScript code. More generally, the above functionality need not be performed by a script language as it can be performed by other software code. [0079] In one embodiment, in order to enhance performance, the Content
- FIG. 9 shows a flowchart of major functions of the content caching script (adload.php) in one embodiment of the present invention.
- Appendix 7 shows an example of JavaScript scripts included in the content caching script (adload.php).
- step 902 the content caching script determines the server name for the web server with pages for the content frame.
- step 904 the content caching script determines the target URL.
- step 906 the content caching script determines whether a target server name is specified. If it is determined, in step 906, that a target server name is not specified, then the process proceeds to step 908.
- step 908 the content caching script adds a target server name. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step 910. If it is determined in step 906 that a target server name is specified, then the process proceeds to step 910 without going through step 908.
- step 910 the content caching script extracts the target server name.
- step 912 the content caching script determines whether external advertisements are enabled in conjunction with the target URL.
- step 914 the content caching script reloads the index page with the target URL. If external advertisements are disabled or if the target URL is not external, then the process proceeds to step 916.
- step 916 the content caching script removes query strings.
- step 918 the content caching script removes anchor links.
- step 920 the content caching script converts the target URL to a cache filename.
- step 922 the content caching script determines whether the target URL includes dynamic, rather than static, data. If, in step 922, it is determined that the target URL includes dynamic data, then the process proceeds to step 924.
- step 924 the content caching script removes the requested page from cache. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step 926. If, in step 922, it is determined that the target URL does not include dynamic data, then the process proceeds to step 926 without going through step 924.
- step 926 the content caching script determines if a cached file exists. If, in step 926, it is determined that a cached file exists, then the process proceeds to step 928. In step 928, the cached page is returned. If, in step 926, it is determined that a cached file is not found, then the process proceeds to step 930. In step 930, it is determined whether an original file is found.
- step 930 If, in step 930, it is determined that an original file is not found, then the process proceeds to step 932. In step 932, a message that the page is not found is displayed at the client. If, in step 930, it is determined that an original file is found, then the process proceeds to step 934. In step 934, the original HTML is loaded into memory. In step 936, the hyperlinks and image tags are rewritten. In step 938, JavaScript code snippets are inserted. These JavaScript code snippets include, for example, the scripts for handling mouse click events described above. In step 940, the processed HTML is written to cache. In step 942, the cached page is returned.
- a one line JavaScript script is added to the content page.
- the content page with the one line JavaScript script added thereto may be cached before it is sent to the client. Alternatively, it may be sent to the client without first being cached.
- the advertisement frame displays the advertisement for the most recently loaded web page using the Advertising Display Script (adview.php).
- Advertising content is retrieved from HTML files stored on the advertising server (internal or external), as rewritten by the Display Script to insure that HTML Tags and Attributes for image, flash, video, etc. content refer to the correct URL within the web site.
- JavaScript code (which in one embodiment is included in the advertisement page program module 215) is appended to manage timers and handle advertising click events.
- a timer is- used to control the amount of time during which an advertisement is displayed. For example, as noted above, in one embodiment, an advertisement is displayed until a duration timer runs out.
- FIG. 10 shows a flowchart of major functions of the advertisement display script flow chart (adview.php) in one embodiment of the present invention.
- Appendix 8 shows an example of JavaScript scripts included in the advertisement display script (adview.php).
- the advertisement display script determines the server name.
- step 1010 it is determined whether a server is specified. If, in step 1010, it is determined that no server is specified, then the process proceeds to step 1015.
- step 1015 a local server name is added. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step 1020. If, in step 1010, it is determined that a server is specified, then the process proceeds to step 1020 without going through step 1015.
- the target server name is extracted.
- step 1025 query strings are removed.
- step 1030 anchor links are removed.
- step 1035 a list of matching web sites are read.
- step 1040 a list of advertisements for the matching web sites are read.
- step 1045 an advertisement is randomly selected from the list of advertisements.
- step 1050 the advertisement content is loaded into browser memory.
- step 1055 the hyperlink and image tags are rewritten.
- step 1060 an interstitial or side bar HTML header is inserted.
- step 1065 JavaScript code snippets are inserted.
- step 1070 the updated content is returned to the browser.
- a advertisement ID is added to the content page before it is sent to the client 105.
- the advertisement is selected, not randomly, but based on the advertisement ID.
- the present invention allows displaying advertisements in the split screen or interstitial mode without hard recoding of the web pages in conjunction with which the advertisements are delivered.
- the present invention can be practiced without manual script inserting or re- programming of web pages to enable different modes of advertisement display.
- the present invention is completely soft coded and can be modified or removed through administration screens.
- the present invention has been described in the context of content and advertisement delivery, it is not limited to use in this context.
- the method of the present invention can be applied to an e-mail system, a file transfer, a bulletin board, a chat room, or a closed circuit television.
- the present invention has been described with respect to one advertisement, one skilled in the art would recognize that multiple advertisement frames could be included in the frames page.
- additional script program code may, for example, coordinate display of multiple advertisements, either sequentially or simultaneously, in the time period between the display of content pages.
