Abstract

Battery life for a portable networked client device is preserved by providing a web page content web server with a set of non-advertisement web objects for a web page, the web page containing at least one inclusion method to one or more advertisement objects stored on an advertisement server separate from the non-advertisement web objects, by receiving by the web server a battery condition and a page request for the web page from a networked client device, and, responsive to the battery condition being low, by transmitting the non-advertisement web objects from the web page content web server to the networked client device, but avoiding incremental battery energy consumption of the networked client device normally required to execute, process, or display the advertisement objects by restricting download of the advertisement objects.

Claims (8)

1. A method for preserving battery life for a portable networked client device, said method comprising:

providing a web page content web server with a set of non-advertisement web objects for a web page, said web page containing at least one inclusion method to one or more advertisement objects stored on an advertisement server separate from said non-advertisement web objects;

receiving by said web server a battery condition and a page request for said web page from a networked client device; and

responsive to said battery condition being low, transmitting said non-advertisement web objects from said web page content web server to said networked client device, and avoiding incremental battery energy consumption of said networked client device to process, execute and display said advertisement web objects by restricting download of said advertisement web objects from said advertisement server to said networked client device.

2. The method as set forth in claim 1 wherein said restricting download comprises restricting animated graphical web objects.

3. The method as set forth in claim 1 wherein said restricting download comprises restricting video segment web objects.

4. The method as set forth in claim 1 wherein said restricting download comprises restricting audio web objects.

5. The method as set forth in claim 1 wherein said restricting download comprises restricting multicolor web objects.
