- Fig. 1 is a computer hardware diagram.
- Fig. 2 is a computer network diagram.
- Fig. 3 is a flowchart of an implementation of a method according to the invention.
- Fig. 1 depicts physical resources of a typical computer system 100.
- the computer 100 has a central processor 101 connected to a processor host bus 102 over which it provides data, address and control signals.
- the processor 101 may be any conventional general purpose single- or multi-chip microprocessor such as a Pentium® processor, a Pentium® Pro processor, a Pentium II® processor, a Pentium III® processor, a MIPS® processor, a Power PC® processor or an ALPHA® processor.
- the processor 101 may be any conventional special purpose microprocessor such as a digital signal processor or a graphics processor.
- the microprocessor 101 has conventional address, data, and control lines coupling it to a processor host bus 102.
- the computer 100 includes a system controller 103 having an integrated RAM memory controller 104.
- the system controller 103 is connected to the host bus 102 and provides an interface to random access memory 105.
- the system controller 103 also provides host bus to peripheral bus bridging functions.
- the controller 103 thereby permits signals on the processor host bus 102 to be compatibly exchanged with signals on a primary peripheral bus 110.
- the peripheral bus 110 may be, for example, a Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) bus, an Industry Standard Architecture (ISA) bus, or a Micro-Channel bus.
- PCI Peripheral Component Interconnect
- ISA Industry Standard Architecture
- Micro-Channel bus Micro-Channel bus.
- the controller 103 can also provide data buffering and data transfer rate matching between the host bus 102 and peripheral bus 110.
- the controller 103 thereby allows, for example, a processor 101 having a 64-bit 66 MHz interface and a 533
- Mbytes/second data transfer rate to interface to a PCI bus 110 having a data path differing in data path bit width, clock speed, or data transfer rate.
- Accessory devices including, for example, a video display controller 112 and network controller 114 may be coupled to the peripheral bus 110.
- the network controller 114 may be a modem, an Ethernet networking card, a cable modem, or other network access device.
- the system 100 may also include a secondary peripheral bus 120 coupled to the primary peripheral bus 110 through a bridge controller 111.
- the secondary peripheral bus 120 may provide additional peripheral device connection points or may be used to connect peripheral devices that are not compatible with the primary peripheral bus 110.
- the secondary bus 120 may be an ISA bus and the primary bus 110 may be a PCI bus, which allows ISA devices to be coupled to the ISA bus 120 and PCI devices to be coupled to the PCI bus 110.
- the bridge controller 111 may also include a hard disk drive control interface to couple a hard disk 113 to the peripheral bus 110, and a controller to couple to other computer readable media 150.
- the computer 100 also includes non- volatile read-only memory (“ROM”) 122 to store basic computer software routines.
- ROM read-only memory
- the ROM 122 may include alterable memory, such as EEPROM (Electronically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory), to store configuration data such as hard disk 113 geometry and configuration data.
- BIOS routines 123 are included in ROM 122 and provide basic computer initialization, systems testing, and input/output (I/O) services. For example, BIOS routines 123 may be executed by the processor 101 to process interrupts that occur when the bridge controller 111 attempts to transfer data from the ISA bus 120 to the host bus 102 via the bridge 111, peripheral bus 110, and system controller 103.
- the BIOS 123 also includes routines that allow an operating system to be "booted" from the disk 113 or from a server computer using a local area network connection provided by the network adapter 114.
- the operating system boot operation can occur after the computer 100 is turned on and power- on self-test (POST) routines stored in the BIOS 123 complete execution, or when a reset switch is depressed, or following a software-initialed system reset or a software fault.
- POST power- on self-test
- the processor 101 executes BIOS 123 software to access the disk controller 111 or network controller 114 and thereby obtain a high-level operating system.
- the high-level operating system is, for example, the Microsoft Disk Operating System (DOS) , Windows 95TM, Windows 98TM, Windows NTTM, a UNIX operating system, the Linux operating system, the Apple Mac OSTM operating system, or another operating system.
- DOS Microsoft Disk Operating System
- Windows 95TM Windows 98TM
- Windows NTTM a UNIX operating system
- the Linux operating system the Apple Mac OSTM operating system, or another operating system.
- An operating system may be fully loaded in the RAM memory 105 or may include portions in RAM memory 105, disk drive storage 113, or storage at a network location.
- the Microsoft Windows 95TM operating system includes some functionality that remains in memory 105 during the use of Windows 95TM and other functionality that is periodically loaded into RAM memory 105 on an as-needed basis from, for example, the hard disk 113.
- Operating systems also provide functionality to control computer peripherals such as the video controller 112, network controller 114, keyboard controller, serial and parallel ports 121 and the audio circuitry 124, and to execute user applications.
- User applications may be commercially available software programs to provide capability for word processing, spreadsheets, computer-aided design, manufacturing inventory, scientific applications, Internet access and many other types of applications. User applications may access computer system peripherals 112-114, 121, and 124 through an application programming interface provided by the operating system and/or may directly interact with underlying computer system 100 hardware.
- FIG. 2 illustrates a computer network 200 which may include a host computer system 210 and client computers 231 -233 and/or other network access devices
- the client computers 231-233 or other network access devices 234- 236 Users utilize the client computers 231-233 or other network access devices 234- 236 to communicate with the host 210 to obtain data stored at the host 210 in a local database 214 or stored in a distant database 215.
- the client computers 231-233 or other network access devices 234-236 can interact with the host computer 210 as if the host was a single entity in the network 200.
- the host 210 may include multiple processing and database sub-systems that can be geographically dispersed through the network 200.
- the host 210 may include a single computer server 211 or a tightly coupled cluster of computers 211-213 at a first location that may access a local database system 214 or remote database 215.
- Each database system 214 or 215 may include additional processing components.
- Client computers 231-233 or other network access devices 234-236 can communicate with a host system 210 over, for example, a combination of public switched telephone network dial-up connections and packet network interconnections.
- client computers 231-233 may each include a modem coupled to voiceband telephone lines 241 -243.
- the client computer 231 can establish a data connection with a local terminal server 225 by dialing a telephone number assigned to the local terminal server 225.
- Other network access devices 232-233 can connect through dial up, direct cable access, wireless transmission and/or other communications media.
- a local terminal server 225 or 226 may have both dial-up and packet network interfaces allowing the server 225 or 226 to receive data from client computers 231-233 or other network access devices 234-236, segment the received data into data packet payload segments, add overhead information to the payload segments, and send the resultant data packets over a link 221 or 222 to a packet data network 220 such as the Internet for delivery to the host system 210.
- Terminal servers 225 and 226 may also be referred to as a network service provider's or an ISP's point-of-presence (POP).
- POP point-of-presence
- the overhead information added to the payload segments include a packet header.
- a packet header includes a destination address assigned to the host system 210 and a source address assigned to the local terminal server 225.
- Other overhead information may include information associating the data packet with a specific client 231-233.
- the host system 210 may send data to a client 231-233 by segmenting the data into data packet payload segments, and adding overhead information to send the data packet to a client 231-234 at the terminal server 225.
- Client computers 234-236 may similarly exchange data with the host 210 over communications links 244-246 to the terminal server 226.
- Data packet formats, switching equipment within the packet network 220, and networking protocols used within the network 200 may conform to the transaction control protocol/internet protocol (TCP/IP).
- TCP/IP transaction control protocol/internet protocol
- the host 210, packet network 220, terminal servers 225 and 226 are each assigned a unique internet protocol (IP) network address.
- IP internet protocol
- TCP/IP switching equipment within the network 220 directs a TCP/IP packet to the intended recipient 210, 225, or 226 based on the packet's destination IP address. Implementations may use other networking protocols and packet formats.
- client computers may have fixed IP addresses, the vast majority of client computers 231-233 gain access to the Web indirectly by using an ISP or OAP and dialing a local telephone number to connect to a host server.
- IAP Internet access providers
- client browser software such as Microsoft Internet ExplorerTM or Netscape NavigatorTM to access the Web and/or to access Internet resources. It should be understood that the term IAP encompasses all companies that provide access to the Internet, such as ISP's and OAP's.
- the locator application program provides a Web server with the geographic location of a client browser.
- an implementation of the locator program first checks to see if a geographic "cookie" file exists on the client computer.
- a cookie sometimes referred to as a "magic cookie” is a short piece of data downloaded to a client's computer which may be read back by a website during subsequent interactions.
- a cookie is a token that allows the computers involved to remember, and refer to, past transactions.
- the cookie typically includes a small text file with information pertaining to a client's access to the website, and is sent to the client's computer while the website is being accessed or after the website has been accessed.
- the text file is presented to the server hosting the website by the client's browser, and is typically used to avoid the necessity of repeating information submitted during a previous interaction.
- Cookies also may be used to tell a server if a client has visited the website before. Some cookies reside in a computer's random access memory (RAM) and are erased when a client exits its browser. Non- olatile cookies are stored on a client's hard drive and referred to as persistent cookies.
- Fig. 3 is a flowchart of the locator program 300 illustrating the steps followed when a client accesses a website that utilizes the locator.
- the locator determines if a geographic cookie, which is a text file containing geographic location data as explained below, exists on the client machine that has accessed the website. If a geographic cookie does not exist, then the locator program will generate one.
- the dial-up networking connection is used to obtain the client browser's local ISP dial-in phone number.
- the Locator transmits this number to a website that accesses a database of ISP information to determine the ISP's name and the area code for the dial-in number.
- the ISP exchange and area code are used to determine location information such as the zip code, city, state, latitude, and longitude of the client computer.
- the exchange is the three digit number following the area code in the ISP dial- in telephone number.
- the location information is written into the browser geographic cookie file or directory on the client computer.
- the geographic cookie contains at least one of the state, city, zip code, latitude and longitude of the client browser.
- the geographic information is supplied to the website server, which can then use the geographic information to target advertising to, and to glean demographic information from, the client.
- the locator program needs to perform this operation only once for each client computer. From then on, the geographic cookie can be used by the server hosting the website without having to access another database.
- step 314 determines that the client changed his dial-up number
- steps 304 to 312 will be executed again to generate a new geographic cookie.
- the client machine moves to a new location then a new, updated cookie will be placed on the machine.
- the client has not changed its dial-up number in step 314, then the existing geographic cookie file will be accessed in step 316, and the data therein will be provided to the website server in step 312.
- the locator program may be implemented as an ActiveX control or as a Netscape Plug-in program and will provide a webserver with the geographic location of a client browser. The webserver can then use this information to display to a client information targeted to the location of that client. This information also can be used to enhance the database that the webserver uses to track clients.
- ActiveX is a technology from MicrosoftTM that can add multimedia and interactivity to a client browser program. As a result, the client computer and the Internet effectively interact as if they were one large computer system. ActiveX controls can be created using various programming tools such as Visual Basic or the C programming language. Examples of ActiveX applications include news tickers, interactive games with multiple players, and multimedia presentations combining animation, sounds, music and graphics. ActiveX programs are referred to as ActiveX "controls" or “components” and are downloaded to, and executed on, a client computer. ActiveX controls are supported by various browser software, such as Microsoft Internet ExplorerTM, Version 3.02 and later versions, and can perform normal application functions in addition to interacting with the Web, the Internet and other computers connected to the Internet.
- Microsoft Internet ExplorerTM Version 3.02 and later versions
- ActiveX controls are written as components, they are modular and can be put together like building blocks to build larger and more complex applications.
- a client need not download the same component again so that when another ActiveX application is required, only a small portion may need to be downloaded if the other components are already resident on the client computer.
- the Internet Explorer browser recognizes the HTML ⁇ object tag, automatically downloads the control, and presents the client with a digital certificate that authenticates the control.
- the user decides whether or not to install the control.
- Netscape Communicator is a software program that offers a complete set of Internet applications, and includes the popular Netscape NavigatorTM Web browser.
- Netscape implemented a set of technologies called the JAR Installation Manager (JIM) (a JAR file is a file formaat that defines an installation of a JAVA class).
- JIM enables a SmarfUpdate feature of Netscape Communicator and Netscape Communicator Professional Edition, as well as the Autolnstall feature of Netscape Mission Control. JIM thus provides tools to automatically and securely install software on a user's machine.
- the locator software can be installed using these technologies as a Netscape Navigator plug-in program. To ensure authenticity, the plug-in must be signed with a digital certificate. When Netscape Communicator loads a page with an embedded plug-in that is not installed on the client machine, JIM will download the plug-in and present a digital certificate to the user. The user then decides whether or not to install the program.
- the invention may be implemented in digital electronic circuitry, or in computer hardware, firmware, software, or in combinations of them.
- Apparatus of the invention may be implemented in a computer program product tangibly embodied in a machine-readable storage device for execution by a programmable processor; and method steps of the invention may be performed by a programmable processor executing a program of instructions to perform functions of the invention by operating on input data and generating output.
- the invention may advantageously be implemented in one or more computer programs that are executable on a programmable system including at least one programmable processor coupled to receive data and instructions from, and to transmit data and instructions to, a data storage system, at least one input device, and at least one output device.
- Each computer program may be implemented in a high-level procedural or object-oriented programming language, or in assembly or machine language if desired; and in any case, the language may be a compiled or interpreted language.
- Suitable processors include, by way of example, both general and special purpose microprocessors. Generally, a processor will receive instructions and data from a readonly memory and/or a random access memory.
- Storage devices suitable for tangibly embodying computer program instructions and data include all forms of non- olatile memory, including by way of example semiconductor memory devices, such as EPROM, EEPROM, and flash memory devices; magnetic disks such as internal hard disks and removable disks; magneto-optical disks; and CD-ROM disks. Any of the foregoing may be supplemented by, or incorporated in, specially-designed ASICs (application-specific integrated circuits).
