Method and system for click-thru capability in electronic media
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An automated computer implemented method comprising:
- receiving, by a processor, an insertion request from within a receiving document;
receiving, in response to said insertion request, a pixelated image document by said processor;
identifying, from said image document a map set of pixel coordinates defining the position of a select image portion on said image document;
converting said select image portion to data in a standard format;
reviewing automatically, by said processor, a history of prior data previously collected from prior image documents;
searching said history of prior data previously collected, wherein said data is mapped and collected to a collection system based on said prior data by;
creating a unique pointer to said image document as a result of defining the position of said select image portion associated with said map set of pixel coordinates of said select image portion on said image document, andstoring in a database said unique pointer and said select image portion associated with said map set of pixel coordinates;
incorporating, by said processor, into said receiving document said unique pointer and a representation of said select image portion; and
providing from said receiving document access to said select image at said map set of pixel coordinates of said image document at a later time.

11. An automated computer implemented method comprising:
-
receiving, by a processor, an insertion request from within a receiving document; receiving, in response to said insertion request, a pixelated image document by said processor; identifying, by said processor, from said image document a map set of pixel coordinates defining the position of a select image portion on said image document; deconstructing said select image portion, by said processor, into subunits and associating said subunits with a subunit map set of pixel coordinates; converting said select image portion to data in a standard format; reviewing automatically, by said processor, a history of prior data previously collected from prior image documents; searching said history of prior data previously collected, wherein said data is mapped and collected to a collection system based on said prior data by; creating a unique pointer, by said processor, to said image document as a result of defining the position of said select image portion associated with said map set of pixel coordinates, and storing, in a database, said unique pointer and said deconstructed subunits in association with said subunit map set of pixel coordinates to said image document; incorporating, by said processor, into said receiving document said unique pointer and a representation of said deconstructed subunits; providing from said receiving document access to said select image at said subunit map set of pixel coordinates of said image document at a later time. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
