Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 24
Claim 1
Independent Claim
103 words
A method comprising: installing a dynamic executable module on a client device coupled to a network device, the dynamic executable module to retrieve dynamic content to be presented to a user and control presentation of the dynamic content; presenting the dynamic content at a time selected in accordance with a predetermined condition comprising existence of an open connection between the client device and the network device; estimating a time period over which the connection between the client device and the network device will remain open; and presenting the dynamic content for a time period equal to no more than the estimated time period.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
103 words
A method comprising: installing a dynamic executable module on a client device coupled to a network device, the dynamic executable module to retrieve dynamic content to be presented to a user and control presentation of the dynamic content; presenting the dynamic content at a time selected in accordance with a predetermined condition comprising existence of an open connection between the client device and the network device; estimating a time period over which the connection between the client device and the network device will remain open; and presenting the dynamic content for a time period equal to no more than the estimated time period.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
31 words
The method of claim 1 , wherein said presenting the dynamic content further comprises presenting the dynamic content while the connection between the client device and the network device remains open.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
23 words
The method of claim 1 , further comprising extending the time period for presenting the dynamic content in response to a user request.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
23 words
The method of claim 1 , further comprising the step of periodically monitoring the connection between the client device and the network device.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
13 words

Claim 7
Dependent Claim
18 words
The method of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined condition further comprises expiration of a predetermined time interval.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
19 words
The method of claim 6 , wherein said presenting the dynamic content further comprises presenting the dynamic content periodically.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
95 words
A client device to present dynamic content to a user, said client device comprising a computer including: a browser to present data to a user; and a dynamic executable module to retrieve dynamic content and to control presentation of the dynamic content at a time selected in accordance with a predetermined condition including existence of an open connection between the client device and the network device; said dynamic executable module to present the dynamic content for a time period equal to no more than an estimated time period for which the connection will remain open.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
95 words
A client device to present dynamic content to a user, said client device comprising a computer including: a browser to present data to a user; and a dynamic executable module to retrieve dynamic content and to control presentation of the dynamic content at a time selected in accordance with a predetermined condition including existence of an open connection between the client device and the network device; said dynamic executable module to present the dynamic content for a time period equal to no more than an estimated time period for which the connection will remain open.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
17 words
The client device of claim 8 , wherein said dynamic executable module is integrated with said browser.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
31 words
The client device of claim 8 , wherein said dynamic executable module is to present the dynamic content while the connection between the client device and the network device remains open.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
20 words
The client device of claim 8 , wherein said dynamic executable module is further to calculate the estimated time period.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
26 words
The client device of claim 8 , wherein said dynamic executable module is to periodically monitor the connection between the client device and the network device.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
14 words
The client device of claim 8 , wherein the dynamic content comprises advertising information.
Claim 16
Dependent Claim
19 words
The client device of claim 8 , wherein the predetermined condition further comprises expiration of a predetermined time interval.
Claim 17
Dependent Claim
19 words
The client device of claim 14 , wherein said dynamic executable module is to present the dynamic content periodically.
Claim 18
Dependent Claim
74 words
A machine-readable medium having stored thereon a plurality of executable instructions to perform a method comprising: retrieving dynamic content; controlling presentation of the dynamic content at a time selected in accordance with a predetermined condition including existence of an open connection between a client device and a network device; and presenting the dynamic content for a time period equal to no more than an estimated time period for which the connection will remain open.
Claim 19
Dependent Claim
74 words
A machine-readable medium having stored thereon a plurality of executable instructions to perform a method comprising: retrieving dynamic content; controlling presentation of the dynamic content at a time selected in accordance with a predetermined condition including existence of an open connection between a client device and a network device; and presenting the dynamic content for a time period equal to no more than an estimated time period for which the connection will remain open.
Claim 20
Dependent Claim
16 words
