Abstract:

The present invention provides techniques for selectively distributing messages to viewers. Specific embodiments provide systems, methods, apparatus and computer program products for distributing messages to viewers based upon information about potential viewers. In specific embodiments, targeted messages are made available to the client machines in response to client message requests by a server that takes the machine and/or user ID provided as part of the client request and queries the database to see if there are any messages pending for that user or that match that user's profile. Specific embodiments can provide a plurality of messages coupled together to form a campaign. The client can receive the campaign using available bandwidth unused by foreground applications, such as web browsers and the like.

International Classification:

G06F 7/00

US Classification:

707 6, 707 10, 707102

Abstract:

In one embodiment, a method to be performed in a client computer includes the acts of sending a request for information from a client computer to a first server computer accessible over a computer network, receiving in the client computer a first response to the request for information, and receiving in the client computer a second response to the request for information. The first server computer may include a search engine and the first response may be a search result from the search engine. The second response may be a search result presented by a message delivery program resident in the client computer. The second response may include a message content that relates to a keyword employed by the end-user in the request for information. Because the keyword represents the end-user's interest in a topic, the chance of the end-user being interested in the message content is increased.

International Classification:

G06F 17/30
G06F 3/048

US Classification:

707 3, 715764

Abstract:

In one embodiment, a first search result responsive to a first search request is displayed in a presentation vehicle that is separate from a browser employed by an end-user to submit the first search request. The presentation vehicle may be a pop-under, for example. Upon detection of a second search request submitted by the end-user, the same presentation vehicle may be updated to display a second search result. In another embodiment, a presentation vehicle is employed to display a first content responsive to a first end-user behavior. An end-user behavior may be an activity that an end-user engages in while on a computer network. The end-user behavior may be navigation from one web site to another web site or submission of a search request, for example. The presentation vehicle may be updated to display a second content in response to a second end-user behavior.
