- Figure 4 shows a screen display generated by the method of Figures 3 and 4;
- Figure 5 shows a schematic flow chart of an installation procedure of a computer program product, in accordance with the invention, for executing the method of Figures 2 and 3;
- Figure 6 shows a schematic flow chart of the various method steps executed by the computer program product according to one embodiment of the invention
- Figure 7 shows a schematic flow chart of the various method steps executed by the computer program product according to a further embodiment of the invention.
- Figure 8 shows a schematic block diagram of a computer for running the computer program product.
- reference numeral 10 generally indicates an arrangement of hardware for connecting a plurality of personal computers (PCs) to the Internet.
- the hardware includes PCs 12 connected via dial-up modems 14 and the Internet 16 to a plurality of servers 18 of an Internet Service Provider.
- the service provider includes separate servers 18 for different services offered and, accordingly, includes a network authentication, server 20, a personalized content server/database 22 linked to a content database 24, and a mail server 26 linked to a mail database 28. It is however to be appreciated that the servers 18 may be combined into a single server provided at the service provider or at any other location.
- each PC 12 includes a computer program product including software for executing a method, in accordance with the invention, for connecting the PCs 12 to the Internet 16.
- the method is carried out by software in the computer program product 30 (see Figure 2), in accordance with the invention.
- the computer program product 30 interfaces with a dial-up network (DUN) component 32 which, in the embodiment depicted in the drawings, is integrally formed with a proprietary browser which is loaded on the PC 12.
- the PC 12 further includes an application dialing routine 34 for dialing a user's Internet Service Provider and which interfaces to the DUN component 32 as shown by line 36.
- the computer program product 30 defines a dial monitor which monitors activation of the DUN component 30 and, as described in more detail below, compares the telephone number to be dialed by the DUN component 30 with a list of reference telephone numbers stored in memory 38.
- the DUN component 32 If the telephone number to be dialed by the DUN component 32 matches a reference telephone number in the memory 38 then the user is forced to sign on by means of a display screen 40 (see in particular Figure 4) to the ISPs website. Once the user has signed on, the DUN component 32 establishes a connection to the servers 18 of the Internet Service Provider. Thus, the product 30 may force a user to connect to a particular se ⁇ /ice provider's portal.
- FIG. 3 a further embodiment of the method of monitoring connection of the PCs 12 to the Internet 16 is shown.
- the method depicted in Figure 3 substantially resembles the method depicted in Figure 2 and, accordingly, like reference numerals have been used to indicate the same or similar features unless otherwise indicated.
- the computer program product 30 interfaces to a DUN component 42 which may be generic and not included or form an integral part of the browser.
- the computer program product 30 monitors and detects when the DUN component 42 attempts to make a telephone call on instruction from the application dialing routine 34.
- the product 30 then interrogates the memory 38 in which reference telephones numbers including international dialing codes and area codes are provided, and compares the number to be dialed by the DUN component 42 with reference telephone numbers stored in the memory 38.
- Reference telephone numbers such as international dialing codes, area codes, telephone numbers of content providers deemed unsuitable by the primary user, or the like may thus define "flagged" telephone numbers which require confirmation or the entry of a password by the user.
- the product 30 If a match is found, then the product 30 generates a screen display which requests the user to confirm connection of the PC 12 to the destination telephone number. Accordingly, prior to the DUN component 42 making a long distance or international call, with its associated higher costs, the user is requested to confirm that the connection to the remote server must in fact be made.
- the display screen typically includes a message warning the user of the international call and provides a button which a user may then click to confirm that the number must in fact be dialed.
- the computer program product 30 may be downloaded off the Internet onto the PC 12 and/or be supplied in the form of a CD-Rom.
- an installation procedure 44 (see Figure 5) is executed.
- the installation procedure 44 first sets up the installation directories as shown at block 46 where after it checks for DUN entries of the service provider, as shown at block 48, and compares telephone numbers in the DUN entries to a list of telephone numbers provided in the computer program product 30 as shown at block 50. Thereafter, if a list of DUN entries is found on the PC 12 (see block 52), a user may select one of the listed DUN entries as shown at decision block 54.
- the product 30 allows a user to select and see all configured DUN entries on the PC 12 as shown at blocks 56 and 58.
- the installation procedure 44 displays a username and password used in the DUN entries as shown at block 60 and a user is then required to accept or reject the username and password as shown at decision block 62. If the user does not accept the username and the password, the user is required to enter a new username and password as shown at block 64. If, however, the user accepts the username and password, the installation procedure 44 then requires the user to confirm that the username and password is the same for the mailbox, as shown at block 66, and then requested to ascertain whether or not the same username and password should be used as shown at decision block 68. If the same username and password is not selected by the user, the user is required to enter a new username and password to be used for the mailbox as shown at block 70. If, however, the user selects or decides to use the same username and password then the installation is completed as shown at block 72. During installation, a MicrosoftTM object is written into the registry containing a new toolbar which includes the read mail, write mail and switch username buttons.
- FIG. 6 shows a schematic flow chart 73 of the method of operation of the product 30.
- the product 30 monitors to ascertain whether or not a call has been made from the DUN component 32, 42 (see Figures 2 and 3). If a call has not been made, the computer program product 30 or dial monitor goes into a loop to determine when a call is in fact made from the DUN component 32, 42.
- the computer program product 30 retrieves international dial codes and area dial codes from cache (see step 78).
- the product 30 displays a dialog or screen display advising the user of the international call as shown at step 82.
- the user may then select to continue with the call (see decision step 84) where after the computer program product 30 clears the display and effects the connection to the service provider as shown at step 86. if, however, the user selects not to continue with the call, the display is cleared and no further action is taken as shown at step 88.
- reference numeral 100 generally indicates a further embodiment of a schematic flow chart of the method of operation of the computer program product 30.
- the flow chart 100 substantially resembles the flow chart 73 and, accordingly, like reference numerals have been used to indicate the same or similar features.
- the client application is first launched where after, as shown at decision step 76, the method determines whether or not a call is being requested from the dial-up network component 32, 42. If, a call has not been requested, then the method loops until a call is requested as shown by line 102.
- the method determines whether or not the call is an international call as shown at decision step 80 and, if so, a display screen is provided to the user in order for the user to confirm that the call must in fact be made as shown at 82. Thereafter, if a user selects to continue with the call (see decision step 84) then the display is cleared as shown at step 86 and the method returns to decision step 76 as shown by line by 104. If, however, the user now being aware that the international call is being requested decides not to proceed with the call by clicking an appropriate button on the display screen, the display screen is then cleared and the connection is terminated as shown at step 88.
- the method checks to see whether or not a national call is being requested as shown at decision step 88. If a national call is being requested then the method proceeds to the procedure starting at step 82 as described above. If, however, a national call is not being requested the method then determines whether or not an approved application is making the call as shown at decision step 106.
- An approved application is typically an application provided by an Internet Service Provider of the primary user and is typically a propriety browser or the like. If an approved application is making the call, then the call is considered a legitimate call, as shown at step 108, and a loop is entered as shown at decision step 110 until the call is terminated. Once the call has terminated the method then returns to step 76.
- step 90 it checks to see whether the number being dialed is included in a list of allowable numbers.
- the number is compared with each number in the list of numbers by starting with the back or last digits of the number and comparing them sequentially digit for digit until all the digits of the number have been checked or compared.
- decision step 94 if there is no match, the method then proceeds to decision step 108 to determine whether or not the last number in the list has been compared to the number dialed.
- the system is not dialing through to the ISP but directly to another network and, accordingly, the method proceeds decision step 110 as described above.
- the system thus checks to see if the ISP's network is being used and, if not, the call is considered to be a legitimate call which can thus be made. If, however, the number dialed by the dial-up network component 32, 42 is not located in the list stored in the memory 38, the method then informs the user to sign on to the specific network associated with the Internet Service Provider or approved by the Internet Service Provider as shown at step 112. If the user agrees to sign on to the network (see decision step 114), then a sign- on screen of the approved application is opened or launched as shown at step 96. The method then proceeds to decision step 110 and a loop is entered until the call is terminated as described above.
- a timer is started as shown step 114 and, once the timer has expired (see step 116), a propriety browser application is opened in which a URL of the homepage of the Internet Service Provider is passed to the browser as shown at step 118.
- the invention as illustrated thus performs certain checks or comparisons on a telephone number dialed by a dial-up network component 32, 42.
- the number dialed by the dial-up network component 32, 42 is then checked or compared with reference telephone numbers or access numbers provided by the Internet Service Provider and stored in memory 38.
- the computer program 30 then checks to see whether an approved application program is making the call and if so, the procedure allows the call to be made, or the computer program product checks to see if the number being dialed is a long distance call such as an international call or national call.
- Such calls are typically subject to higher charge rates and, prior to activating the dial-up network component 32, the user is thus required to confirm execution of the call.
- the computer program product 30 determines whether or not a national call is being made (see decision step 88) and, if so, then the routine commencing at step 82 is once again followed. If, however, a national call is not being made, then the computer program product 30 or dial monitor obtains the first telephone number from a telephone list (see step 90) and, thereafter, compares the number which defines a reference number with the number dialed by the DUN component (see step 92). If the numbers do not match, then the routine reverts to step 90 (see decision step 94). If, however, the numbers do match, the sign-on screen 40 (see Figure 4 and step 96 in Figure 6) and a sign-on procedure is then followed as shown at step 98.
- Figure 8 shows a diagrammatic representation of a machine in the exemplary form of a computer system 200 within which a set of instructions, for causing the machine to perform any one of the methodologies discussed above, may be executed.
- the machine may comprise a network router, a network switch, a network bridge, Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), a cellular telephone, a web appliance or any machine capable of executing a sequence of instructions that specify actions to be taken by that machine.
- PDA Personal Digital Assistant
- the computer system 200 includes a processor 202, a main memory 204 and a static memory 206, which communicate with each other via a bus 208.
- the computer system 200 may further include a video display unit 210 (e.g., a liquid crystal display (LCD) or a cathode ray tube (CRT)).
- the computer system 200 also includes an alphanumeric input device 212 (e.g. a keyboard), a cursor control device 214 (e.g. a mouse), a disk drive unit 216, a signal generation device 218 (e.g. a speaker) and a network interface device 220.
- the disk drive unit 216 includes a machine-readable medium 222 on which is stored a set of .instructions (software) 224 embodying any one, or all, of the methodologies described above.
- the software 224 is also shown to reside, completely or at least partially, within the main memory 204 and/or within the processor 202.
- the software 224 may further be transmitted or received via the network interface device 220.
- the term "machine-readable medium” shall be taken to include any medium which is capable of storing or encoding a sequence of instructions for execution by the machine and that cause the machine to perform any one of the methodologies of the present invention.
- the term “machine-readable medium” shall accordingly be taken to included, but not be limited to, solid- state memories, optical and magnetic disks, and carrier wave signals.
