            Application No. 09/000,709                                                                        


                   Appellants’ invention relates to a system for delivery of dynamic content to a             
            client device.  An understanding of the invention can be derived from a reading of                
            exemplary claim 1, which is reproduced below.                                                     
                   1.    A method for presenting dynamic content to a user of a client                        
                   device, wherein the client device is configured to access a plurality of                   
                   content servers through a network proxy, said method being performed by                    
                   the network proxy and comprising the steps of:                                             
                         receiving at the network proxy a request for a first data object from                
                   a user of the client device;                                                               
                         retrieving the first data object from a content server;                              
                         embedding a dynamic executable module in the first data object,                      
                   the dynamic executable module comprising executable instructions;                          
                         downloading the first data object with the embedded dynamic                          
                   executable module from the network proxy to the client device;                             
                         executing the dynamic executable module to retrieve dynamic                          
                   content from the network proxy, said execution and retrieval being                         
                   transparent to a user of the client device and not interfering with servicing              
                   of additional requests for data objects by the user; and                                   
                         presenting the retrieved dynamic content to the user concurrently                    
                   with one or more data objects requested by the user, wherein said                          
                   dynamic content comprises information that was not requested by the                        
                   user.                                                                                      








                                                      2
