SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTINUATION OF A WEB SESSION

1 . A computer-implemented method, executed on a web server, for facilitating continuation of a web session after the web session has been terminated, the method comprising:

initiating a web session with a URL upon receiving a request from a web browser, the web session having an associated web page;

generating session information related to the web session, including a transaction identifier and state information;

transmitting the session information to a web browser;

terminating the web session;

resuming the web session, the resuming comprising:

accepting the session information from the web browser;

authenticating the transaction identifier of the session information; and

validating the client data corresponding to the authenticated transaction identifier; and

continuing the web session at the web page.

2 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the resuming further comprises:

identifying an existing transaction identifier for the URL;

validating the existing transaction identifier;

updating the existing transaction identifier; and

transmitting the updated transaction identifier to the web browser.

3 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the resuming further comprises:

receiving a web page request from the web browser; and

transmitting session identifier status information to the web browser.

4 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 further comprising saving the resumed web session.

5 . The computer-implemented method of claim 4 further comprising updating the session information.

6 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 further comprising initiating a file download activity during the resumed web session.

7 . The computer-implemented method of claim 6 further comprising updating the session information.

8 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , the session information being generated when a file download activity is initiated.

9 . The computer-implemented method of claim 8 further comprising:

saving the transaction identifier by the web server, upon determination that internet connectivity is lost; and

saving the session information by the web browser, upon determination that internet connectivity is lost.

10 . The computer-implemented method of claim 8 further comprising discarding the session information once the file download activity is completed during the web session.

11 . The computer-implemented method of claim 8 further comprising discarding the state information once the file download activity is completed during the resumed web session.

12 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the session information is generated when the web session is saved.

13 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein generating the session information further comprises receiving, during the web session, at least one of:

the client data;

server data; or

date stamp of the web server;

wherein one or more of the client data, the server data, and the date stamp are utilized to generate the transaction identifier.

14 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the session information is generated when internet connectivity is lost, or the web session is saved.

15 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the state information comprises information of at least one of a web page session, a file download session, or a login session.

16 . A system for facilitating continuation of a web session, after the web session has been terminated, the system comprising:

a server-computing module configured to:

generate session information related to the web session, including a transaction identifier and state information; and

transmit the session information to a web browser;

a server-initiation module operatively coupled to the server-computing module, the server-initiation module configured to:

initiate a web session with a URL upon receiving a request from a web browser, the web session having an associated web page;

resume the web session after the web session has been terminated;

accept the session information related to the web session from the web browser;

authenticate the transaction identifier of the session information; and

validate the client data corresponding to the authenticated transaction identifier; and

a server-processing module operatively coupled to the server-initiation module, the server-processing module configured to continue the web session at the web page.

17 . The system of claim 16 , wherein the server-initiation module is further configured to:

identify an existing transaction identifier for the URL;

validate the existing transaction identifier;

update the transaction identifier; and

transmit the updated transaction identifier to the web browser.

18 . The system of claim 16 , wherein the server-processing module is further configured to:

initiate a file download activity during the resumed web session; and

update the session information.

19 . The system of claim 16 , wherein the transaction identifier is generated when a file download activity is initiated.

20 . The system of claim 19 , wherein the server-processing module is further configured to save the session information, upon determination that internet connectivity is lost.

21 . The system of claim 19 , wherein the server-processing module is further configured to perform one of:

discarding the session information once the file download activity is completed during the web session; or

discarding the state information once the file download activity is completed during the resumed web session.

22 . The system of claim 16 , wherein the session information is generated when the web session is saved or the internet connection is lost.

23 . The system of claim 16 , wherein the server-computing module is further configured to receive, during the web session, at least one of:

the client data;

server data; or

date stamp of the web server;

wherein the client data, the server data, and the date stamp are utilized to generate the transaction identifier.

24 . The system of claim 16 , wherein the state information comprises information of at least one of a web page session, a file download session, or a login session.

25 . A computer-implemented method for facilitating continuation of a web session, after the web session has been terminated, the method comprising:

initiating a web session with a URL upon receiving a request from a web browser, the web session having an associated web page;

generating session information by a web server, including transaction identifier and state information;

receiving the session identifier by the web browser from the web server;

terminating the web session;

resuming the web session including:

accepting the session information by the web server from the web browser;

authenticating the transaction identifier of the session information by the web server; and

validating client data corresponding to the authenticated transaction identifier by the web server; and

continuing the web session at the web page.
