Abstract
A web session may be shared between two or more browser clients both viewing the same content on the same web content server. By providing a proxy device on the server side of the network, bandwidth may be utilized effectively. As one example, a help session may be initiated via a proxy device on the server side of the network. Session sharing may be provided with an additional server side browser. The server side browser may be manned by help desk personnel who may communicate with the user of a client browser at the same time both the user and the help desk personnel are viewing the same web page.
Description
- This application is a divisional of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/785,918, filed on Feb. 17, 2001.
- This invention relates generally to establishing web sessions.
- A session is a data stream from a content server. Conventionally, a client, connected over a network such as the Internet, accesses web pages on a web server. The client does this by making a hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) request to a server that responds with the requested information. As a result, a web session is established which conventionally is a private session between a single browser client user and the addressed web server.
- Users may need help in connection with various web sites or web pages. Generally, when the user needs help, the user may operate a soft help button and receives, in effect, pre-prepared information. Alternatively, the user may contact the web site provider, for example, over a telephone or electronic mail link. In many cases, the web site provider has a large number of web pages and may be uncertain exactly which web page the user has concerns about. In many cases, the web site provider provides assistance to the web page user without viewing the web page or without a complete understanding of the precise nature of the user's problem.
- The quality of the service provided and the amount of time needed to help the user may suffer because the web site provider may not have a clear understanding of the exact issue raised by the user. In some cases, the web site provider can attempt to work through the web pages starting from the home page to attempt to recreate the situation plaguing the user. However, in some cases, the user may not remember exactly how the user arrived at a given page. In other cases, it may take an extended amount of time for the web site provider to arrive at the same location in the web site currently creating the problem for the user.
- Thus, the private nature of a web session between a client browser and the server may create problems. One instance of these problems arise with the provision of on-line help services because the help service provider may be unable to see what the user sees.
- Other problems that arise from the private nature of web sessions include the inability of a plurality of users to communicate effectively while viewing a web page. Again, the private nature of the Internet access protocol generally limits the number of users that may participate in a given session.
- Thus, there is a need for a way to share a particular web session among users.
-
FIG. 1 is a schematic depiction of one embodiment of the present invention; -
FIG. 2 is a chart showing a process in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention; -
FIG. 3 is a flow chart for software on a proxy device in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention; and -
FIG. 4 is a screen display in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention. - A network 10 for establishing a session may include a
browser client 12 communicating over a network such as the Internet 14 with aweb content server 22. The communication between theclient 12 andserver 22 may be via aproxy 16 which during normal communications is a completely transparent communication path. In other words, prior to the occurrence of a trigger event, theproxy 16 may do nothing, in one embodiment, other than to merely transfer communications between theclient 12 and theserver 22. Thus, a session may exist between theclient 12 and theserver 22 which is substantially unaffected by theproxy device 16. - The
proxy device 16 may be a processor-based system in one embodiment of the present invention. Thus, thedevice 16 may include its own processor and may be coupled to astorage device 18. Thestorage device 18 may be any of a variety of known storage devices such as a hard disk drive or a flash memory, as two examples.Software 20, for controlling the operation of theproxy device 16, may be stored in thestorage device 18. Theproxy device 16 may include a proxy engine that will be described in more detail hereinafter. Theproxy device 16 may be a dedicated use inbound proxy in one embodiment. - The
proxy device 16 may be coupled to ashadow browser 24. Theshadow browser 24 may be a client processor-based system in one embodiment. - The
proxy device 16 andshadow browser 24 are on the server side of the client server communication protocol with respect to thenetwork 14. Thus, theproxy device 16 and theshadow browser 24 may communicate through a relatively high bandwidth connection compared to the connection between the Internet 14 and thebrowser client 12. - Turning next to
FIG. 2 , theclient 12 may access an Internet web page by requesting the web page as indicated at 1. Thus, theclient 12 requests the web page from theserver 22, for example, by making a HTTP request that travels over the Internet 14. This request may pass unaffected through theproxy device 16 to thecontent web server 22. A result is returned from theweb server 22 to thebrowser client 12 via the same logical route. In such case, theproxy device 16 has no affect on the web session which proceeds between theclient 12 and theserver 22. - However when a trigger occurs, the
proxy device 16 intercepts the web page in the form of a data stream and maps the client browser address to a virtual proxy address as indicated at 3. Theproxy device 16 also adds the shadow browser client address to a proxy address table for that session's address. Theproxy device 16 may also forward the domain cookie information refresh instruction requests to a listener on theshadow browser client 24 as indicated at 5. - The
shadow client browser 24 then sends a refresh request as indicated at 6. As a result, theshadow client browser 24 andclient 12 both display the same web page. Optionally, a chat client session may be invoked between the various session participants which include theclient 12, theserver 22 and at least oneshadow browser 24. - The trigger event to initiate the session sharing may be a request from the user invoked from code on the
client 12. Alternatively, the trigger may be the result of an embedded web page function. For example, referring toFIG. 4 , ahelp icon 65 may be maintained on theweb page 60. When the user clicks on thehelp icon 65, a code may be generated which may be intercepted by theproxy device 16 to initiate session sharing. As still another example, the session sharing may be invoked via an automated call from theweb content server 22. As one example, when the number of data entry errors detected by theserver 22 exceeds a predetermined limit during a single web session, theproxy device 16 may be automatically triggered. - In one embodiment a secure transaction may be implemented, for example using a modified secure socket layer (SSL). SSL may be implemented in the
proxy device 16 by renegotiating sessions between theproxy device 16 and theserver 22 and between theproxy device 16 and theclient 12, with theproxy device 16 translating for device 16-client 12 and device 16-server 22 transactions. - Where the
proxy device 16 andserver 12 have a trusted connection, translation may not be needed in device 16-server 22 transactions. In general theproxy device 16 needs a certificate with anyserver 22 it interacts with. Thus, a SSL proxy may be useful in some situations to negotiate sessions where a pre-existing relationship was not already established. - Referring to
FIG. 3 , theproxy software 20 stored on theproxy device 16storage 18 begins by detecting the occurrence of an event as indicated atdiamond 26 in one embodiment of the present invention. When an event is detected, the requested web page is intercepted from theweb server 22. The client address is then mapped to theproxy device 16 as indicated inblock 30. At this point, theserver 22 believes it is communicating with theclient 12 but instead is actually communicating with theproxy device 16. Theproxy device 16 then communicates or establishes sessions with both theclient 12 and one ormore shadow browsers 24. - To implement multiple sessions, the
shadow browser 24 address is added to a proxy address table as indicated inblock 32. A refresh request is then forwarded to the shadow client as indicated inblock 34. When theclient 12 initiates the refresh request, theshadow browser 24 then displays the same web page displayed by theclient 12. - As one example, a help session may be initiated. Help desk personnel, managing the
shadow browser 24, see the same web page as the user of theclient 12. The help desk personnel may thereby provide more effective assistance to the user. As still another application, one may invite registered shadow browser users into a shared browser session. Each member of the session may have the ability to navigate for the group among any desired web pages or by defining a view only status within the address mapping thereby enabling some active and other passive browser participants. A termination status setting may be set as well. As one example, a setting may determine whether the session is automatically terminated when the initiator leaves the session or when the last participating browser leaves the session. - By putting the
device 16 which initiates the session sharing on the server side of the network 10, bandwidth may be conserved. This placement avoids encroaching on the more limited bandwidth constraints of the typical browser user when compared to remote control where client is just remoting software. - Referring to
FIG. 4 , theweb page 60 may include a variety ofinformation shadow browser 24 is sharing the session with theclient 12, a chat session may be initiated. For example, the user may ask aquestion 68 and the help desk personnel manning theshadow browser 24 may provide an answer, as indicated at 70, while viewing the same web page that the user is viewing. - While the present invention has been described with respect to a limited number of embodiments, those skilled in the art will appreciate numerous modifications and variations therefrom. It is intended that the appended claims cover all such modifications and variations as fall within the true spirit and scope of this present invention.
