发明名称 Method and system for distributing and displaying graphical items
摘要 A subset of graphical display items, in a set of graphical display items stored in the one or more electronic storage devices, that have not previously been viewed by a user is determined. A graphical display item is selected from a subset of graphical display items. The graphical display item may be selected according to an order, or selected randomly. An initial display item and the selected graphical display item are electronically transmitted to a user computing device. The initial display item and the selected graphical display item are configured such that the selected graphical display item is displayed on a display device of the user computing device in response to the user selecting the initial display item when the initial display item is displayed on the display device.

主权项 1. A method, comprising: determining, with a computing system, a subset of graphical display items, in a set of graphical display items, that have not previously been viewed by a user based on tracking information stored in one or more electronic storage devices of the computing system, wherein the set of graphical display items are stored in the one or more electronic storage devices of the computing system; configuring, with the computing system, an initial display item to convey information about the set of graphical display items and to be displayed on a display device of a user computing device by an application executed by a processor of the user computing device; determining, with the computing system, whether a graphical display item, from the set of graphical display items, that was previously viewed by the user should be selected; in response to determining that a graphical display item that was previously viewed by the user should be selected, selecting, with the computing system and based on the tracking information stored in the one or more electronic storage devices, a graphical display item previously viewed by the user, the selected graphical display item configured to be displayed on the display device of the user computing device by the application; in response to determining that a graphical display item that was previously viewed by the user should not be selected, selecting, with the computing system, a graphical display item from the subset of graphical display items not previously viewed by the user, the selected graphical display item configured to be displayed on the display device of the user computing device by the application; in response to the user computing device electronically transmitting a request for a web page, electronically transmitting, with the computing system and via a communication network, the initial display item to the user computing device to be displayed within the web page; in response to the user selecting the initial display item when the initial display item is displayed on the display device, electronically transmitting, with the computing system and via the communication network, the selected graphical display item to the user computing device; and updating, with the computing system, the tracking information stored in the one or more electronic storage devices to indicate that the selected graphical display item has been viewed by the user in response to determining that the user selected the initial display item; wherein the graphical display item is at least one of: (i) configured to be displayed within the web page,(ii) configured to be displayed such that the graphical display item overlays at least a portion of the web page, and(iii) configured to be displayed in a first web browser window separate from a second web browser window that displays the web page.
