Abstract
The present invention relates to techniques for displaying multiple windows in a networked computer. Embodiments of the invention may be employed in a variety of applications including advertising delivery on the Internet. In one embodiment, an advertising window is displayed by determining an area occupied by a browser window in a computer screen, determining if there is available space to display the advertising window in the computer screen, and displaying the advertising window in an available space if there is one. If there is no available space in the computer screen, the browser window may be reconfigured to make room for the advertising window. The present invention advantageously allows an advertising window to be displayed without substantially overlapping a browser window, thereby minimizing possible end-user confusion as to content source. In addition, the advertising window is displayed with minimal interruption to end-user browsing activity.
