Problems solved by technology

Since the web server cannot handle a large number of simultaneous site access requests, the web server cannot respond to such requests
[0004] Even if a web proxy server is used to mirror the origin server in order to distribute the load, it may fail by also exceeding the capacity of the proxy server
In addition, establishing the required number of telephone service connections to the user's ISP may be problematic as the ISP's modem pool capacity has been reached.
[0005] These glitches lead to frustration for users and lost opportunities for broadcasters and advertisers to generate revenue and delight viewers

Embodiment Construction

[0013] refer to figure 1 , the video distribution system 12 may be any system that distributes video signals such as television programs. For example, system 12 may be a television broadcast system, satellite distribution system or cable distribution system. In another embodiment of the present invention, the system 12 may also be an Internet-based distribution system. A plurality of clients, indicated at 14 , may receive video signals distributed by system 12 . Each client 14 may be a processor-based system. Therefore, in some cases, each client 14 can receive video information at the same time.

[0014] refer to figure 2 , an exemplary screen display 20 for a customer 14 is shown. In this hypothetical example, a television program offers viewers the opportunity to receive a free personal computer. The advertisement gives a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) 22 for linking to additional information.

[0015] If a given opportunity (and a given URL) is known to a large num...

Abstract

A client side system reduces overloading of web servers that experience excessive loads in response to widely distributed information about services or products available through the web server. The client side system may delay the accessing of the web server. For example, instructions may be added to the uniform resource locator distributed for the server over a television broadcast. These instructions may be utilized by software resident on the client side system to delay the accessing of the server to reduce server overloading.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to the Internet and the use of Uniform Resource Locators. Background technique [0002] Television programs and commercials often invite viewers to access Web servers for information or purchases. If each of the millions of television viewers responded to the invitation simultaneously, the transaction capacity of most web servers would be quickly exceeded. [0003] For example, during the 1999 Super Bowling game, Victoria Secret Television requested viewers to visit its website commercially. The TV show shows a website URL. Millions of viewers see the URL at exactly the same time, and many of them attempt to connect to the web server immediately. Since the web server cannot handle a large number of simultaneous site access requests, the web server cannot respond to such requests. [0004] Even if a web proxy server is used to mirror the origin server in order to distribute the load, failures may occur by also...
