Abstract
Selected content such as product information and announcements is provided during waiting time of an Internet session. In one implementation, the process implemented by the waiting time message program of the invention involves monitoring (416) a user node to identify a web site access request, accessing (418) a previously stored message set, selecting (432) a message from the message set and displaying or playing back (434) the selected message. The message set and particular messages may be selected based on user information (e.g., demographic, psychographic, or product preference information), information regarding the expected waiting time or other information. Messages are thereby provided during waiting time that would otherwise be essentially wasted from the perspective of an ordinary Internet user, e.g., during processing time associated with the exchange of information between Internet content providers and Internet content users.
