Abstract

A module is provided to monitor an electronic device. An advertisement and a triggering event are delivered to the module. The triggering event is detected based on a status of the electronic device. The advertisement is presented on a graphical interface of the electronic device in response to the triggering event. The advertisement is stored in a database and delivered to the electronic device. The advertisement further includes presenting a notification. The advertisement further includes presenting an overlay. The advertisement further includes a list of triggering events containing the triggering event. The triggering event includes an application download or an application installation. Choices for selecting individual permissions to monitor a component of the computer system are presented. The triggering event includes an application search, an application download, or an application installation. The triggering event further includes a set of running applications.

Claims

1. A method of controlling a commerce system, comprising:

providing a module to monitor an electronic device;

delivering an advertisement and a triggering event to the module;

detecting the triggering event based on a status of the electronic device; and

presenting the advertisement on a graphical interface of the electronic device in response to the triggering event.

2. The method of claim 1, further including storing the advertisement in a database.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein presenting the advertisement includes presenting a notification.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein presenting the advertisement includes presenting an overlay.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the advertisement further includes a list of triggering events containing the triggering event.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the triggering event includes an application download or an application installation.

7. A method of controlling a commerce system, comprising:

delivering an advertisement to an electronic device;

monitoring an electronic device for a triggering event; and

presenting the advertisement on a graphical interface of the electronic device in response to the triggering event.

8. The method of claim 7, further including storing the advertisement in a database.

9. The method of claim 7, further including providing a module to monitor the electronic device for the triggering event.

10. The method of claim 7, wherein presenting the advertisement includes presenting a notification.

11. The method of claim 7, wherein presenting the advertisement includes presenting an overlay.

12. The method of claim 7, wherein the advertisement further includes a list of triggering events containing the triggering event.

13. The method of claim 7, wherein the triggering event includes a search for an application.

14. A method of controlling a commerce system, comprising:

monitoring a status of a computer system to detect a triggering event; and

presenting an advertisement over an interface of the computer system in response to the triggering event.

15. The method of claim 14, further including:

18. The method of claim 14, wherein presenting the advertisement includes presenting an overlay.

19. The method of claim 14, further including presenting choices for selecting individual permissions to monitor a component of the computer system.

20. The method of claim 14, wherein the triggering event includes an application search, an application download, or an application installation.

21. A computer program product usable with a programmable computer processor including a computer readable program code embodied in a non-transitory computer usable medium, the computer readable program code adapted to implement a method for controlling a commerce system, comprising:

delivering an advertisement to an electronic device;

monitoring an electronic device for a triggering event; and

presenting the advertisement on a graphical interface of the electronic device in response to the triggering event.

22. The method of claim 21, further including storing the advertisement in a database.

23. The method of claim 21, further including providing a module to monitor the electronic device for the triggering event.
