Abstract

See full text

A means of providing session control over the Internet is disclosed. Traditionally, the Internet protocols define a session between a client and a server as one page request and one page response. This does not permit the servers to ascertain how long a client is accessing a page or whether a page containing database information is being viewed by two clients simultaneously. In accordance with the present invention, a Web page contains a script that causes the page to send beat signals from the client to the server at particular times to indicate to the server that the client is continuing to view the page. When the client releases the page, the beat will stop and the server will know that the client has released the page.
