Appl. No.:

09/627632

Inventors:

Martin David Hoyle - Destrehan LA

Assignee:

B.E. Technology, LLC - Bay City MI

International Classification:

G11B 2303

US Classification:

360133, 369291

Abstract:

A computer diskette system utilizes a pair of partial disks which mate together to form a complete data storage disk that can be read in a conventional manner by a computer disk drive. When mated together, the partial disks are mounted in a diskette that comprises a cartridge for holding the partial disks and a hub rotatably mounted in an opening in the lower wall of the cartridge. The hub has a center hold for receiving a drive spindle of the computer disk drive and, within the cartridge, has an interlocking portion to which the partial disks can be attached. The hub and partial disks can have radially-extending interlocking elements that prevent the disks from slipping on the hub when it is being driven by the disk drive. The cartridge has an access door for inserting and removing the partial disks. A first one of the two partial disks contains conventional formatting information which identifies the locations of data on the second partial disk.

Martin David Hoyle - Destrehan LA

Assignee:

B.E. Technology, LLC - Bay City MI

International Classification:

G06F 300

US Classification:

345854, 345853

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for providing an automatically upgradeable software application that includes targeted advertising based upon demographics and user interaction with the computer. The software application is a graphical user interface that includes a display region used for banner advertising that is downloaded from time to time over a network such as the Internet. The software application is accessible from a server via the Internet and demographic information on the user is acquired by the server and used for determining what banner advertising will be sent to the user. The software application further targets the advertisements in response to normal user interaction, or use, of the computer. Associated with each banner advertisement is a set of data that is used by the software application in determining when a particular banner is to be displayed. This includes the specification of certain programs that the user may have so that, when the user runs the program (such as a spreadsheet program), an advertisement will be displayed that is relevant to that program (such as an advertisement for a stock brokerage).

US Classification:

715854, 715745

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for providing an automatically upgradeable software application includes targeted advertising based upon demographics and user interaction with the computer. The software application is accessible from a server via the network and demographic information on the user is acquired by the server and used for determining what advertising will be sent to the user. The software application includes programming that accesses the server to determine if one or more components of the application need upgrading. If so, the components can be downloaded and installed without further action by the user. A distribution tool is provided for software distribution and upgrading over the network. Also provided is a user profile that is accessible to any computer on the network. Furthermore, multiple users of the same computer can possess Internet web resources and files that are personalized, maintained and organized.
