Abstract

A method and a system for segment registration use servers and clients on the Internet. The server includes a plurality of registration web pages and a registration file. The registration file includes a plurality of registration conditions and each condition corresponds to a registration request. After the client downloads the registration file, it initiates registration by continuously sending instructions via a browser interface. Based on the registration file downloaded from the server, the client then decides whether the instruction sent satisfies its corresponding condition and proceeds to the next step, sending a corresponding registration request to the server. Upon receiving the registration request, provided the registration request is complete, the execution of the instruction continues. If not, the server sends a registration web page responding to the registration request to the client. Only after the registration conditions are met in full can the instruction be continued.

Claims

1. A segment registration method, used for a client-server architecture having a server and a client, wherein said server comprises a plurality of registration web pages and a plurality of registration conditions corresponding to said registration web pages, said registration method comprising:

sending a first request from said client to said server;

receiving said first request, said server responding by sending said registration conditions to said client to enable said client to continue sending instructions to said server via a user interface;

sending a second request from said client to said server if said instructions sent by said client to said server satisfy any of said registration conditions;

receiving the second request from said client, said server responding by sending corresponding registration web pages to said client;

receiving said registration web pages from said server, said client incorporating a registration record into said registration web pages and responding by sending said registration record to said server;

receiving said registration record from said client, said server storing said registration record thereby; and

completing said registration at said server.

2. The segment registration method according to claim 1, further comprising verifying the completion of said second request.

3. A segment registration method according to claim 1, further comprising retrieving said registration record from said server to continue said instructions.

4. A segment registration method according to claim 1, wherein said user interface is a browser interface.

5. A segment registration method according to claim 1, wherein said user interface is provided by said server.

6. A segment registration method according to claim 1, wherein said instructions to be issued by the client are preset by the server.

7. A segment registration method according to claim 1, wherein said instructions sent by said client are executed by clicking a computer mouse, or other input facility.

8. A segment registration method, used for a client-server architecture having a server and a client, wherein said server comprises a plurality of registration web pages and a plurality of registration conditions corresponding to said registration web pages, said registration method comprising:

sending instructions from said client to said server via a user interface satisfying said registration conditions;

sending said corresponding registration web pages from said server to said client;

receiving said registration web pages from said server to said client;

incorporating a registration record into said registration web pages at said client;

sending said registration record to said server;

receiving and storing said registration record from said client; and

completing said registration at said server.

9. A segment registration method according to claim 8, further comprising verifying the completion of said instruction.

10. A segment registration method according to claim 8, further comprising retrieving said registration record from said server to continue the execution of instructions.

11. A segment registration method according to claim 8, wherein said user interface is a browser interface.

12. A segment registration method according to claim 8, wherein said user interface is provided by said server.

13. A segment registration method according to claim 8, wherein said instructions to be issued by client are preset by the server.

14. A segment registration method according to claim 8, wherein said instructions directed by said client are executed by clicking a computer mouse and other input facility.

16. A segment registration system according to claim 15, wherein said client further comprises a user interface, which is used for sending said instructions.

17. A segment registration system according to claim 16, wherein said user interface is a browser interface.

18. A segment registration system according to claim 16, wherein said user interface is provided by said server.

19. A segment registration system according to claim 15, wherein said instructions to be issued by client are preset at the server.

20. A segment registration system according to claim 15, wherein said instructions directed by said client are executed by clicking a computer mouse or other input facilities.

15. A segment registration system, comprising:

a server comprising a plurality of registration web pages and a plurality of registration conditions that correspond to said registration web pages; and

a client that downloads a plurality of registration conditions corresponding to its instructions and determines whether to respond to corresponding registration requests to said server based on said registration conditions;

wherein said server receives said registration requests and thereafter verifies the completion of registration, said server responding to completion of said registration, indicating the completion of said instructions, said server responding to lack of completion of said registration by sending said registration web pages to said client, whereupon said client incorporating a registration record into said registration web pages, said server responding by continuing to execute said instructions.

21. A segment registration system comprising:

a server comprising a plurality of registration web pages and a plurality of registration conditions that correspond to said registration web pages; and

a client, wherein said client continues to send instructions to said server;

wherein if said instructions issued by said client satisfy said registration conditions preset by the client, then an inquiry is sent to said client to ask whether said client completed said registration, said client responding to said server with yes or no, said server responding to yes from said client by continuing to execute said instructions, said server responding to no from said client by sending said registration web pages to said client, said client receiving said registration web pages, incorporating a registration record into said registration web pages, and returning said registration web pages to said server as instructions to be executed by said server.

22. A segment registration system according to claim 21, wherein said client further comprises a user interface, which is used for sending said instructions.

23. A segment registration system according to claim 22, wherein said user interface is a browser interface.

24. A segment registration system according to claim 22, wherein said user interface is provided by said server.

25. A segment registration system according to claim 21, wherein said instructions to be issued by client are preset by the server.

26. A segment registration system according to claim 21, wherein said instructions directed by said client are executed by clicking a computer mouse and other input facilities.

27. A segment registration server comprising:

a plurality of registration web pages;

a plurality of registration conditions that correspond to said registration web pages; and

an interface that receives instructions from a client, said server responsive to said instructions from said client to determine whether said instructions satisfy said registration conditions, said server responsive to said instructions satisfying said registration conditions to send an inquiry to said client to ask whether said client completed said registration, said server responsive to a reply of yes received from said client to continue to execute said instructions, said server responsive to a reply of no from said client to send said registration web pages to said client, said server receiving said registration web pages from said client with a registration record incorporated therein, said server executing instructions in response to said registration web pages with said registration record therein.
