Method and code module for adding function to a web page
DCFirst Claim
1. A method of operating a computer network to add function to a representation of a web page comprising:
- downloading said representation of said web page at a processor of a client computer, said downloading operation being performed by said processor;
when said web page is downloaded, said processor automatically executing a first code module associated with said web page, wherein execution of said first code module initiates retrieval of a second code module;
receiving, at a server system, information from said processor;
providing, from said server system, said second code module having a service response, said service response being formed in response to said information;
downloading said second code module to said processor; and
said processor initiating execution of said second code module at said processor, wherein said second code module includes a web address for a second web page, and said method further comprises;
downloading information content from said second web page at said processor in response to said execution of said second code module; and
presenting said information content in said service response at said processor.

Abstract
A computer network (20) includes a first processor (22) for maintaining a Web page (34) having an embedded first code module (36) and accessible through a Web address (38). A second processor (24) supports a Web browser (52) for downloading the Web page (34) and executing the first code module (36). When executed, the first code module (36) issues a first command (93) to retrieve a second code module (90) from a server system (26). The server system (26) includes a database (68) having a service response (162, 176, 186) associated with the Web address (38). A processor (62) assembles the second code module (90) having the service response (162, 176, 186). When the second code module is retrieved, the first code module (36) issues a second command (106) to initiate execution of the second code module (90) to provide added function to the Web page (34).

6. A method of operating a computer network to add function to a representation of a web page comprising:
-
downloading said representation of said web page at a processor of a client computer, said downloading step being performed by said processor; when said representation of said web page is downloaded, said processor automatically executing a first code module associated with said web page; said first code module issuing a first command to retrieve a second code module; assembling, in response to said issuing operation, said second code module having a service response; said first code module issuing a second command to initiate execution of said second code module; and said processor initiating execution of said second code module in response to said second command; and downloading information content from a second web page at said processor when said second code module is executed, said second code module including a web address for said second web page; and presenting said information content in said service response at said processor. - View Dependent Claims (7)

8. A method of operating a computer network to add function to a representation of a web page comprising:
-
downloading said representation of said web page at a processor, said downloading step being performed by said processor; when said web page is downloaded, said processor automatically executing a first code module associated with said web page; said first code module issuing a command to retrieve a second code module; assembling, in response to said issuing operation, said second code module having a service response, said service response being a metaphor; said processor executing said second code module at said processor; displaying said metaphor in connection with said representation of said web page at said processor; detaching said metaphor from said representation of said web page; and displaying said metaphor disassociated from said representation of said web page. - View Dependent Claims (9)
