First Claim
1. A dynamic serving governor for a server comprising:
- an advertisement configuration data set receiver operated by a server and configured to receive from a microbrowser an advertisement configuration data set accompanying a page request, said data set containing at least one limitation for receipt of web objects and at least one microbrowser state condition;
a web object selector configured to select web objects of said requested page which meet said advertisement configuration data set limitations and said microbrowser state condition; and
a web objects transmitter configured to transmit said selected web objects from said server to said microbrowser, thereby causing said selected web objects to be presented to a user of said microbrowser.

Abstract
A microbrowser such as web-enabled wireless telephones and personal digital assistants allows a user to configure types of objects to be blocked from download including object memory consumption, display area, download time, and restrictions on animated images and executable scripts. Microbrowser state conditions such as battery level and network connection mode are considered when providing said limitations such that more restrictions may be placed during low battery periods to maximize battery life. For example, during low battery conditions or analog connection mode, a user may configure an enhanced microbrowser not to download advertisements, run scripts or animated objects in order to maximize remaining battery life. In another example, a user may configure an enhanced microbrowser to block the download of objects containing audio, or which will occupy more than a certain percentage of the available display area.
