Maintaining Advertisements

Abstract

A list of advertisements, products, or services for which an impression is generated during the course of a digital environment session (e.g., a video game) may be imported to a list that may be viewed at the conclusion of the digital session.

The user may then visit the advertiser web sites and/or view/purchase products at their leisure instead of while immersed in the digital environment.
