The present invention is directed to a post-session advertising system
that may be used in media such as computers, personal digital assistants,
telephones, televisions, radios, and similar devices. In one preferred
embodiment, a first display is viewed in a first platform in the
foreground of a media by a viewer. A viewer initiates a load triggering
event and in response, a post-session platform is opened to display a
post-session display in the background of the media. Significantly, in
the preferred embodiment, the post-session platform stays in said
background until a view triggering event occurs. The type of platform and
display used will depend significantly on the media. In one preferred
embodiment of the present invention an optional focus timer is activated
by the view triggering event to allow an accurate assessment of the
actual time a viewer focuses on the display in the post-session platform.
In another alternate preferred embodiment of the present invention, the
number of post-session platforms is limited to, for example, one
platform.
