Abstract
A method and system for determining and sharing a user's web presence have been disclosed. According to one embodiment, a computer implemented method comprises providing web presence information associated with a first user from a first computer having a first software module. The web presence in formation is received at a second computer. The web presence information is used to dynamically inform a second user communicating with the second computer of a website that the first user is viewing.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- determining, with one or more processors, presence information of users visiting an application;
- determining, with the one or more processors, whether a number of users visiting the application satisfies a threshold number of visits to the application using the presence information;
- responsive to satisfying the threshold, retrieving, with the one or more processors, targeted information from a third party providing the application;
- and
- transmitting, with the one or more processors, an instruction to a device that causes the device to display the targeted information to at least one of the users visiting the application, the targeted information being displayed within a graphical element on the device.
A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer useable medium including a computer readable program, wherein the computer readable program when executed on a computer causes the computer to:
- determine presence information of users visiting an application;
- determine whether a number of users visiting the application satisfies a threshold number of visits to the application using the presence information;
- responsive to satisfying the threshold, retrieve targeted information from a third party providing the application;
- and
- transmit an instruction to a device that causes the device to display the targeted information to at least one of the users visiting the application, the targeted information being displayed within a graphical element on the device.
A system comprising:
- a processors;
- and
- a memory storing instructions that, when executed, cause the system to:
- determine presence information of users visiting an application;
- determine whether a number of users visiting the application satisfies a threshold number of visits to the application using the presence information;
- responsive to satisfying the threshold, retrieve targeted information from a third party providing the application;
- and
- transmit an instruction to a device that causes the device to display the targeted information to at least one of the users visiting the application, the targeted information being displayed within a graphical element on the device.
