  • Patent number: 6286045
    Abstract: A system for storing information on a computer network and allowing the information to be accessed by terminals connected to the computer network, either directly, or through an intermediary device such as a local or proxy server, includes computer or web sites which store pages requested by terminals for display on the terminals. The pages may include references to banners to be displayed in conjunction with the web pages on the terminal. The terminal initiates access or connection to a desired computer or web site to access a desired page. After the desired page is downloaded, transmitted, or served to the terminal from the computer or web site, the terminal initiates and sends an initial banner request signal to an information server.

  • Patent number: 6014698
    Abstract: A system for delivering information on a computer network and allowing the information to be accessed by terminals connected to the computer network, either directly or through intermediary devices such as local or proxy servers, including computer or web sites storing pages which are requested by terminals for display. The pages may include references for the display of banners. The terminal initiates access or connection to a desired computer or web site to access a desired page. After the desired page is downloaded and served to the terminal from the computer or web site, the terminal initiates and sends an initial banner request signal to an information server. The information server returns a redirect signal to the terminal telling the terminal the location of the desired banner on the computer network, which may be the information server, the computer site, or some other information server, computer site, or location accessible via the computer network.
