Method for delivering targeted web advertisements and user annotations to a web page
View Patent ↗The invention is a method for delivering targeted web advertising to internet users via a network capable of rating, annotating, linking, meta-tagging and otherwise annotating any definable data accessible through a global computer network. The system is comprised of a graphical user interface (GUI), a database, and software to connect the two. The system stores and caches data and related annotations in a database. The software searches and organizes the database inputs. The GUI displays the result to the user. The user, through a web-browser or other means, would access a definable set of internet data (e.g., a web page) and through the proposed system be able to view ratings of that data as well as other relevant inputs from other users.
1. A method for delivering targeted web advertising to users via a network capable of annotating a data object, comprising steps of:
accessing a data object with a selectable view-thru option;
displaying a visible portion of the data object as a display image;
making alterations to the data object, wherein at least one alteration includes a rating of the data object;
storing and caching the data object and the alterations in a database;
the data object and the alterations comprising database inputs;
searching and organizing the database inputs;
displaying a result to the user without migrating to another display, image wherein the result displayed includes an advertisement.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the data object is web page.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the data object is global positioning system location.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the alteration is an annotation of the data object.
5. Recordable media having computer instructions for carrying out a method for delivering targeted web advertising to users via a network capable of annotating a data object, the recordable media comprising:
computer program code for accessing a data object with a selectable view-thru option;
computer program code for displaying a visible portion of the data object as a display image;
computer program code for making alterations to the data object, wherein at least one alteration includes a rating of the data object;
computer program code for storing and caching the data object and the alterations in a database, the data object and the alterations comprising database inputs;
computer program code for searching and organizing the database inputs;
computer program code for displaying a result to the user without migrating to another display image wherein the result displayed includes an advertisement.
6. The recordable media of claim 5 , wherein the data object is web page.
7. The recordable media of claim 5 , wherein the data object is global positioning system location.
8. The recordable media of claim 5 , wherein the alteration is an annotation of the data object.
9. A computer system having recordable media including computer instructions for carrying out a method for delivering targeted web advertising to users via a network capable of annotating a data object, the computer system comprising:
computer program code for accessing a data object with a selectable view-thru option;
computer program code for displaying a visible portion of the data object as a display image;
computer program code for making alterations to the data object, wherein at least one alteration includes a rating of the data object;
means for storing and caching the data object and the alterations, the data object and the alterations comprising inputs;
computer program code for searching and organizing the inputs;
computer program code for displaying a result to the user without migrating to another display image wherein the result displayed includes an advertisement.
10. The computer system of claim 9 , wherein the data object is web page.
11. The computer system of claim 9 , wherein the data object is global positioning system location.
12. The computer system of claim 9 , wherein the alteration is an annotation of the data object.
13. The computer system of claim 9 , wherein the means for storing and caching the data object and the alterations comprises a database.
