Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method of delivering electronic content, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a message with instructions that causes a first computer to initiate transmission of identifying information to a second computer in response to a request for data;
processing the request for data at the second computer and selecting electronic content based on at least one of the request for data and the identifying information;
initiating transmission of the electronic content to a network location indicated by the identifying information;
receiving notification information from across a network as a result of an attempt to access the electronic content;
wherein the instructions are configured to attempt to transmit the notification information and to control access to the electronic content subsequent to the attempt to transmit; and
wherein the instructions are configured to control access by granting or denying access to the electronic content based on a result of the attempt to transmit.

Abstract
Delivering electronic content includes providing instructions that might cause a computer to collect information including a network address and transmitting the collected information to a receiving computer. The computer that receives the transmitted information selects electronic content based on the received information and sends the selected electronic content to the network address included in the received information. Access to the electronic content might be selectively granted based on criteria.

25. A computer-implemented method of delivering electronic content, the method comprising the steps of:
-
providing instructions that cause a first computer to dynamically transmit identifying information to a second computer in response to a request for data; processing the request for data at the second computer to select electronic content and to transmit the electronic content to a location indicated by the identifying information; receiving notification information from the location indicated by the identifying information; wherein the instructions include executable instructions and are configured to attempt to transmit the notification information based on an event, and to control access to the electronic content after the attempt to transmit; and wherein the instructions are configured to control access by granting or denying access to the electronic content based on a result of the attempt to transmit. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34)
