Commerce System and Method of Controlling the Commerce System by Layering Contextual Advertisements Over a Graphical Interface

摘要

A list of permissions is requested to monitor a status of a computer system in a commerce system. An advertisement compatible with the list of permissions is delivered to the computer system. The status of the computer system is monitored to detect a triggering event. A notification of the advertisement is layered over the graphical interface of the computer system in response to the triggering event. The advertisement is stored in a database. The advertisement includes required permissions. The list of permissions is compared with the required permissions of the advertisement to determine whether the advertisement is compatible with the list of permissions. The advertisement further includes a triggering event list. The advertisement is embedded in a software application. The advertisement further includes optional permissions. Choices for selecting individual permissions to monitor a component of the computer system are presented.
