Abstract

Disclosed are systems, media, and methods for providing pay-per-access micropayment-based web browsing and server applications. In one aspect, disclosed herein are computer-implemented systems comprising a digital processing device comprising at least one processor, an operating system configured to perform executable instructions, a memory, and a computer program including instructions executable by the digital processing device to create a pay-per-access micropayment-based server application.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A computer-implemented system, comprising: a digital processing device comprising at least one processor, an operating system configured to perform executable instructions, a memory, and a computer program including instructions executable by the digital processing device to implement an automated negotiated exchange for acquiring micropayment-based access to a web page in response to a request, the computer program comprising:
 (a) a browser-user issuing the request for access to the web page, the request being made without payment information, the web page comprising content provided by a publisher;   (b) the browser-user receiving a response to the request for access to the web page, the response comprising: (i) a refusal of access to the web page, and (ii) a provision of payment terms, the payment terms comprising a price for accessing the web page and a rebate;   (c) the browser-user automatically determining an amount of a micropayment based upon the price and the rebate;   (d) the browser-user automatically issuing a re-request for the web page, the re-request comprising the amount of the micropayment the browser-user is willing to pay to access the web page; and   (e) the browser-user receiving the requested web page from the publisher if the micropayment satisfies the price for accessing the web page.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the micropayment is aggregated with a plurality of other micropayments. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the requested web page comprises an advertisement permitted by the browser-user from an advertising source. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the re-request comprises willingness to pay, a method of payment, one or more sources preferred for recovering money by inserting advertisements, or the amount of the micropayment. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the re-request further comprises one or more credentials attesting to the value of the browser-user to the publisher. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the micropayment is provided at least in part to the publisher or an entity associated with the publisher. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the micropayment is in cryptocurrency. 
     
     
         8 . A computer-implemented method of implementing an automated negotiated exchange for acquiring micropayment-based access to a web page, the method comprising:
 (a) issuing a request for access to the web page, the request for the web page being made without payment information, the web page comprising content provided by a publisher;   (b) receiving a response to the request for access to the web page, the response comprising: (i) a refusal of access to the web page, and (ii) a provision of payment terms, the payment terms comprising a price to access the web page and a rebate;   (c) automatically determining an amount of a micropayment based upon the price and the rebate;   (d) automatically issuing a re-request for the web page, the re-request comprising the amount of the micropayment a browser-user is willing to pay to access the web page; and   (e) receiving the requested web page from the publisher if the micropayment satisfies the price for accessing the web page.   
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the micropayment is aggregated with a plurality of other micropayments. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the requested web page comprises an advertisement permitted by the browser-user from an advertising source. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the re-request comprises willingness to pay, a method of payment, one or more sources preferred for recovering money by inserting advertisements, or the amount of the micropayment. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the re-request further comprises one or more credentials attesting to the value of the browser-user to the publisher. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the micropayment is provided at least in part to the publisher or an entity associated with the publisher. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the micropayment is in cryptocurrency. 
     
     
         15 . A computer-implemented system, comprising: a digital processing device comprising at least one processor, an operating system configured to perform executable instructions, a memory, and a computer program including instructions executable by the digital processing device to implement an automated negotiated exchange for acquiring micropayment-based access to a web page in response to a request, the computer program comprising:
 (a) a browser-user issuing a request for access to the web page, the request being made with payment information comprising willingness to pay, a method of payment, one or more sources preferred for recovering money by inserting advertisements, or an amount of a micropayment, the web page comprising content provided by a publisher;   (b) the browser-user receiving a response to the request for access to the web page, the response comprising: a refusal of access to the web page and a provision of payment terms, the payment terms comprising a price for access to the web page and a rebate;   (c) the browser-user automatically determining an adjusted amount of the micropayment based upon the price and the rebate;   (d) the browser-user automatically issuing a re-request for the web page, the re-request comprising the adjusted amount of the micropayment the browser-user is willing to pay; and   (e) the browser-user receiving the requested web page from the publisher if the micropayment satisfies the price for accessing the web page.
