Method and system for rendering additional information based on either external or internal input

A method is illustrated the flow diagram (100) of Fig. 1. A processor (1001) renders a message (1025) for the processor operator's education in response to an event trigger, such as during times of processor latency (115) such as dialing onto any network such as the Internet. This wait time (117) is normally non-productive and therefore can be used in such a way as to be non-invasive. It is also understood that this time is short so as to make other actions such as getting up from the desk not attractive. Finally even if the wait time was or became very short the present invention provides the first message (125) to the process operator, that h as been filtered. This filtering is a balance of the message owner's willingness to out bid other messages, the time of the day, the location of the operator, and finally the operator's likes and dislikes. The message may be triggered by an event that is external or internal or time of day from the information processing system. Exemplary internal events include consisting of logon, logoff, start-up, shut-down, and screen saver active. Exemplary external events include paper out, printer out of ink, printer out of toner, computer readable medium is full, and system resource is not available. In an alternate embodiment, a computer readable medium and system is disclosed that corresponds to the method above.
