  • Publication number: 20090132377
    Abstract: The present invention delivers interstitial media content, such as advertisements during a user's navigation of an Internet protocol-based product, for example, a graphical user interface. The present invention may display advertisement content positioned within a web page or may display a full screen advertisement before a new web page is presented. As an interstitial advertisement, the advertisement appears between web page requests such that when a user action requests a new page, the present invention can launch an ad before displaying the requested content. The ads are preferably non-interruptible, such that the user cannot fast-forward or skip the advertisement. A preferred method detects a web page address request and delivers advertising content in an Internet protocol format to the user independently of any code associated with the requested web address.
