Abstract: A system for modifying a cursor image, as displayed on a video monitor of a remote terminal, to a specific image having a desired shape and appearance. The system stores cursor image data corresponding to the specific image, and a cursor display code. The cursor display code contains information in response to which the cursor image is modified to the specific image. A server computer transmits specified information to the remote terminal. The information includes at least one cursor display instruction. The cursor display instruction is operable to modify, in conjunction with the cursor information and the cursor image data, a cursor image displayed by a display of the remote terminal in the shape and appearance of the specific image.

Abstract: A system and method for enabling information associations which parses objects contained within a document such a Web page, in order to form a list of “metalink” objects within the document for which related information may be available. Visual indications of metalink objects within the document may be provided automatically, or in response to a user action requesting such indications be made, and may include any kind of modification to the visual display of the metalink objects or to the cursor as it is moved over or near the metalink objects. User selection of a metalink object, for example clicking on the display of a metalink object, is further detected. In response to such user selection of a metalink object, a database is searched for information related to the selected metalink object, including pointers or links to other documents. The search results (“metadata”) are then displayed, for example in a pop-up window.

Abstract: A system analyzes a user's historic browsing activity to determine one or more topics of interest to the user and displays to the user one or more advertisements that are relevant to the user's topic(s) of interest. The system analyzes a plurality of browses to determine the user's interest(s). Each of a plurality of analyzers analyzes an aspect of each user browse. A relevance filter determines if and when the user is sufficiently interested in a topic to display an advertisement related to the topic. Once the relevance filter identifies a topic of interest, the system displays an advertisement that is related to the identified topic of user interest.
