Abstract

The present invention is directed to an improved Internet messaging system that satisfies the need for providing the Internet information provider with greater control over the viewing process of provider-selected messages. The system comprises an apparatus and method for providing a provider-selected message in response to a user request for user-selected information. A system having a features of the present invention comprises an Internet server for receiving a user request for user-selected information, and for determining if a qualified provider-selected message has previously been transmitted to the user. The server transmits provider-selected information (such as a commercial message) in response to the user request if no qualifying provider-selected message has been previously transmitted to the user.

Claims (16)

1. A method of delivering information across a computer network, comprising the steps of:
receiving a request from a remote computer for information;
determining whether a qualifying provider-selected message has been previously transmitted to the remote computer; and transmitting provider-selected information in response to the request if no qualifying provider-selected message has been previously transmitted to the remote computer.
2 An apparatus for delivering information across a computer network, comprising:
a computer network;
an information server for receiving a request for information from a remote computer;
the server being configured to transmit the requested information in response to the request only if a qualifying provider-selected message has been previously transmitted to the remote computer.
3. A method of delivering information across a computer network, comprising the steps of:
receiving a request from a remote computer for information; and transmitting the requested information in response to the request only if a qualifying provider-selected message has been transmitted to the remote computer within at least one provider-selected interval.
4. An apparatus for delivering information across a computer network, comprising:
a computer network;
an information server for receiving a request for information from a remote computer;
and the server being configured to determine whether a qualifying provider-selected message has been previously transmitted to the remote computer and to transmit provider-selected information in response to the request if no qualifying provider-selected message has been previously transmitted to the remote computer within at least one provider-selected interval.
5. The method of claim 1, wherein said request from the remote computer is by means of the Hypertext Transport Protocol.
6. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of:
transmitting the requested information if a qualifying provider-selected message has been previously transmitted to the remote computer.
7. A method of delivering information across a computer network, comprising the steps of:
receiving a request from a remote computer for information;
determining whether a qualifying provider-selected message has been previously transmitted to the remote computer;
transmitting provider-selected information in response to the request if no qualifying provider-selected message has been previously transmitted to the remote computer; and the provider-selected information causing the remote computer to transmit a second request for the requested information.
8. An apparatus for delivering information across a computer network, comprising:
a computer network;
an information server for receiving a request for information from a remote computer;
the server being configured to determining whether a qualifying provider-selected message has been previously transmitted to the remote computer and transmit provider-selected information in response to the request if no qualifying provider-selected message has been previously transmitted to the remote computer; and the provider-selected information causing the remote computer to transmit a second request for the requested information.
9. The method of claim 7, further comprising the step of:
transmitting the requested information in response to the second request for [user-selected] the requested information.
10. A method of delivering information across a computer network, comprising the steps of:
receiving an HTTP GET request from a remote computer for information;
transmitting from a server a provider-selected message in response to the HTTP
GET
request;
the provider-selected message causing the remote computer to transmit an HTTP
POST
request; and transmitting the requested information in response to the HTTP POST request.
11. The method of claim 10, wherein:
wherein said HTTP POST request includes a referrer header containing a URL for the server.
12. A method of delivering information across a computer network comprising:
(a) receiving a request from a remote computer for information;
(b) determining whether qualifying provider-selected information which includes a commercial message has been previously transmitted to the remote computer; and (c) transmitting qualifying provider-selected information to the remote computer in response to the request if no qualifying provider-selected information has been previously transmitted to the remote computer.
13. The method according to claim 12, further comprising:
transmitting the requested information if qualifying provider-selected information has been previously transmitted to the remote computer.
14. An apparatus for delivering information across a computer network, comprising:
an information server configured to receive a request for information from a remote computer and configured to determine whether qualifying provider-selected information which includes a commercial message has been previously transmitted to the remote :.omputer and to transmit qualifying provider-selected information in response to the request if no qualifying provider-selected information has been previously transmitted to the remote computer.
15. The apparatus according to claim 14, wherein the server is further configured to transmit the requested information if qualifying provider-selected information has been previously transmitted to the remote computer.
16. The apparatus according to claim 14, wherein the server is further configured to transmit the provider-selected information in response to the request if no qualifying provider-selected information has been previously transmitted to the remote computer within at least one provider-selected interval.
