Monitoring application for automatically requesting content

A computing system for receiving data over a computer network, comprising:

• one or more processors configured to execute software code in order to:
• transmit a request for first data to a first network connected computer;
• in response to transmitting the request, receiving:
• the first data;
• and
• executable code configured to detect occurrence of a defined trigger event associated with at least a first user interface depicting at least some of the first data on the computing system, to measure an amount of time from the occurrence of the defined trigger event, and to initiate a request for second data to a second network connected computer from the computing system in response to the measured amount of time exceeding a defined threshold;
• and
• receive the second data in response to transmitting the request for the second data, wherein the second data is configured for display in a second user interface at least partially on to of the first user interface.

A system for transmitting data over a computer network, comprising:

• a computing device configured to:
• receive, at the computing device, a request for first data from a client;
• in response to receiving the request, transmit to the client:
• the first data;
• and
• executable code configured to detect occurrence of a defined trigger event associated with a first user interface depicted in a browser executing on the client, to measure an amount of time from the occurrence of the defined trigger event, and to initiate a request for second data from the client in response to the measured amount of time exceeding a defined threshold;
• receive the request for the second data from the client;
• and
• initiate transmission of the second data to the client in response to receiving the request for the second data, wherein the second data is configured for display in a second user interface at least partially on top of the first user interface.
