ABSTRACT:
A method and system are disclosed for increasing the yield of response to an electronic solicitation to take action by presenting direct action links within the solicitation itself. These direct action links are distinguished by the ability to initiate a transaction when a user interacts with them, without the need to search for or access any other web page or site to begin the authorization. The direct action links are themselves updated without requiring the intervention of the user. The increased marketing efficiency is further enhanced by using a software program other than a conventional internet browser or conventional email client to connect with the user. The enhanced program has the capability of storing information about the user of the system for use in authorizing future transactions, the capability of establishing a dedicated communications connection which uniquely identifies the user to another system, and the capability of remembering previous actions taken by the user. Any protocol of secure encryption can be supported in all these communications. On a recurrent basis the user receives media content containing these direct action links, in addition to alerts when new direct action links are available for the user's consideration. With respect to streaming media content these direct action links can be coordinated to the subject of the stream at any moment over time. A business entity, either non-commercial or commercial, can execute the transaction itself, can execute it on behalf of another business entity, or can set a direct action link to transmit the authorization to another business entity for their own execution. A method and system is further described where a server system can coordinate a peer-to-peer network of client systems to distribute the media content containing these direct action links using the bandwidth capacities of the client systems themselves, or with the informed consent of particular users to send other messages through their own outgoing email functions as the sender. The products and services authorized by these transactions can either be fulfilled back through the system used by the user for the communications, or else be delivered or performed by other means.
