DETAILED DESCRIPTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a universal browser, compatible with common commercial browsers, that incorporates preferences and/or applications unique to the universal browser provider.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a universal browser that provides a user with the ability to place an electronic postmark on an electronic communication.
It is a still further object of the present invention to provide a universal browser that provides a user with the ability to encrypt an electronic communication.
It is yet a further object of the present invention to provide a universal browser that provides a user with the ability to access/purchase products or services that are unique to the universal browser provider and that are not available to the user of the underlying or standard common commercial browser.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, a computer program product is disclosed.
The computer program product comprises signal-bearing media containing program instructions for execution within a general purpose computer, in conjunction with a standard browser application, wherein said program instructions comprise program instructions for: launching a universal browser each time the standard browser is executed; and offering a unique enhanced service to the user via a graphical area within a window of the standard browser.
In accordance with another embodiment of the present invention, a method for browsing on a computer network is disclosed.
The method comprises program instructions for: launching a universal browser each time a standard browser is executed; and offering a unique enhanced service to the user via a graphical area within a window of the standard browser.
In accordance with yet another embodiment of the present invention, a computer network browsing system is disclosed.
The system comprises: a memory for storing program instructions and data; a processor coupled to said memory for executing said program instructions, wherein said program instructions include program instructions for coupling a universal browser to an underlying browser already on a user's computer; launching the universal browser each time the underlying browser is executed; and offering an enhanced service to the user via the universal browser wherein the enhanced service is not available via the underlying browser
