<p>A method and apparatus that addresses the wait-time between an operator and a processing machine by providing the user information during waiting periods. A method is illustrated by the flow diagram (100) of the figure. A processor (101) renders a message (125) for the processor operator's education during times of processor latency (115) such as dialing onto any network such as the Internet. This wait time (117) is normally non-productive and therefore can be used in such a way as to be non-invasive. It is also understood that this time is short so as to make other actions such as getting up form the desk not attractive. Finally even if the wait-time was or became very short the present invention provides the first message (125) to the process operator, that has been friltered. This filtering is a balance of the message owner's willingness to out bid other messages, the time of the day, the location of the operator, and finally the operator's likes and dislikes.</p> |
