Abstract: A system for directly establishing network connections between a client and server system by means of a single compiled file that does not require an additional network communications system such as a web browser or other supporting application. Specifically, by launching the compiled file itself, a network connection is established to an encoded URL, and information is delivered to the user in the form of streaming media. Differing from a typical browser, or other typical network enabling software systems, the communication link established by the compiled file is predominantly one way and non-conversational. Relying on graphical animation media, the system permits the delivery of new information and embedded code in response to a user's action. Impact on system resources is reduced as overhead support software is not required. Likewise bandwidth is conserved and issues of privacy are maintained as minimal information is exchanged without user interaction.
