Abstract

The present invention provide method and system of pushing data objects during communication session integrated within networking system of plural client agents connected via gateway server.

The present invention takes advantage of the existing open communication session for pushing data objects to the user by intercepting users communication, identifying open connections and replacing received response original content with new content including any given data object. As a result the user is provided with the edited response, the user can optionally request the response with the original content. For optimizing the communication process it is suggested to present the user with the pushed data object during idle periods while the user is waiting for next content.

Claims

1. A method of pushing data objects during communication session of hypertext language based pages (“

network page”

) integrated within networking system of plural client agents connected via gateway server, said method comprising the steps of;

(i) Intercepting users communication via network at the gateway server;

(ii) Identifying open connections and associating intercepted communication request to users;

(iii) Identifying request for network page from the user agent;

(iv) Forwarding user request for network page from source server to network system for which the request was intended;

(v) Receiving respective response from network system to user request;

(vi) Replacing original content received response with new content including any given message;

(vii) Transmitting the edited response to user agent; and

(viii) Upon user selection, transmitting the originally received response, with the original content, to user agent;

2. The method according to claim 1 wherein the new content includes edit version of the downloaded page;

3. The method according to claim 2 further comprising the step of,

(ix) Editing the downloaded page code using at least one of the following operations, adding hyperlinks with reference to any given URL, exchanging URL reference of exiting hyperlinks, adding any given hypertext command or textual or visual content;

4. The method according to claim 3 further comprising the steps of:

(x) Checking for incoming new messages for the user;

(xi) Editing network page to include indication of incoming new message and hyperlink to new massage;

(xii) Editing message page code to include hyperlink to the originally downloaded page;

5. The method according to claim 4 further comprising the steps of:

(xiii) in case the user selects any hyperlink from the message page, editing new downloaded response network page to include hyperlink to originally downloaded page;

(xiv) In case the user selects added hyperlink referencing the original downloaded page transmitting user said page from cache memory;

6. The method according to claim 5 wherein the processing steps (xiii) and (xiv) are applied to the next web page selected by the user.

7. The method according to claim 1 further comprise the step of:

(xv) Checking downloaded network page capacity for spare card space with respect to user agent and data communication capabilities;

(xvi) In case of spare card space, editing said network page to include at least one implanted new card containing any given content and exchanging URL reference of at least line hyperlinks to URL of said card;

(xvii) Upon user selection of said edited hyperlink, presenting to the user new implanted card or cards, and simultaneously requesting the page that the originally replaced URL had referenced;

(xvii) Displaying the implanted card to the user until the user agent receives the network page downloaded from original URL reference of selected hyperlink;

8. The method according to claim 7 further comprise the steps of:

(xix) Pre-fetching at least one network page according to hyperlinks URL reference of downloaded page;

(xx) Extracting one card or some partial amount of content from each pre-fetched network page;

(xxi) Editing the downloaded page to include at least one extracted card or some partial content of pre-fetched network page;

(xxii) In case user selected hyperlinks which their respective network page was pre-fetched then presenting user respective card or cards or partial content locally at the user agent;

9. The method according to claim B further comprising the steps of:

(xxiii) As the user browses the added content, fetching the rest of the original content of the respective network page, by the user agent;

(xxiv) When the user requests to see further information from said partial intent, displaying to the user the content downloaded during step (xxiii);

10. A system of pushing data objects during communication session of hyper text language based pages (“

network page”

) integrated within networking system of plural client agents connected via gateway server, said system comprising of;

(xxv) Communication means for intercepting users connections with network at the gateway server;

(xxvi) Detecting means for identifying open connections and associating intercepted communication requests to users;

(xxvii) Communication procedure for identifying request for network page from the user agent and forwarding user request to network system;

(xxviii) Communication means for receiving respective response from network to user requests;

(xxix) Editing means for replacing original content of received response with new content including any given data object;

(xxx) Managing means for transmitting either the edited response or the received original response according to user selection;

11. The system according to claim 10 wherein the new content includes edited version of the downloaded page;

12. The system according to claim 10 further comprising:

(xxxi) Editing means for performing at least one of the following operations to the downloaded page code;

adding hyperlinks with reference to any given URL, exchanging URL reference of exiting hyperlinks, adding any given hypertext command or textual or visual content;

13. The system according to claim 12 further comprising the steps of:

(xxxii) Managing means for checking and organizing incoming new messages for the user;

(xxxiii) Editing means for adding to network page new indication of incoming messages and hyperlinks to said massages;

(xxiv) Editing means for adding message page code an hyperlink to the downloaded page;

14. The system according to claim 13 further comprising of,

(xxxv) Editing means for adding the new downloaded network page hyperlink directing to the original downloaded page according to user selection;

(xxxvi) Managing means for transmitting the original downloaded page from cache memory according to user selections;

15. The system according to claim 10 further comprising of:

(xxxvii) Testing means for checking downloaded network page capacity for spare card space with respect to user agent and data communication capabilities.

(xxxviii) Editing means for adding said network page to include at least one new implanted card containing any given content and exchanging URL reference of at least one hyperlinks to URL of said card;

(xxxix) Synchronizing procedure for presenting user respective card or cards while waiting for next network page;

16. The system according to claim 15 further comprising of:

(xl) Prediction module for pre-fetching at least one network page according to hyperlinks URL reference of downloaded page;

(xli) Editing means for extracting at least one card of each prefetched network page and adding the extracted pages to the downloaded network;

(xlii) Synchronizing procedure for presenting user respective card or cards while waiting for next network page;
