Abstract
Embodiments of the invention provides an advertisement queue (ADQ) allowing users (i.e., potential advertisement viewers) to temporarily store a limited number of electronic advertisements for later viewing as an alternative to completely dismissing all advertisements as irrelevant. For example, the electronic advertisements include, but not limited to, online advertisements and television advertisements. In one or more embodiments, a user's ADQ is allocated to store a maximum number of advertisements, referred to as queued advertisements. When the ADQ is full or reaches a pre-determined percentage of maximum entry count, the user is offered to view a queued advertisement in the ADQ, to select a category of advertisement for future queuing, and/or to clear the ADQ.
