A SYSTEM FOR TRANSFERRING WEB SESSIONS, AND A METHOD FOR CONDUCTING WEB SESSIONS ON THE INTERNET

摘要

A system and method for transferring web sessions on the Internet are disclosed. The system includes a Web session transfer service server which serves as a proxy for client terminals. The server includes a database containing pro­files with user data and session information. A user can resume an ongoing session or start a new session in a Vir­tual Browser on said server. The server will redirect re­quests and responses between the client terminal and web servers on the Internet, monitor the sessions, store ses­sion data as favourite URIs, cookies, history etc, in the database. By this system and method, a user can use any terminal in his web sessions, e.g. a borrowed terminal, and still experience the same ease of use as when browsing from his own computer. It is possible to put a web session on hold on one terminal and resume it later on another. All information and data gained during the session will be saved.
