Prioritized download of social network content
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- identifying, by a computing system, that a computing device has met one or more predetermined conditions for pre-downloading social network content to the computing device, wherein the one or more predetermined conditions are selected from a group consisting of the computing device having at least a threshold battery charge, the computing device being connected to a WiFi network, one or more processors on the computing device having available processing capability, and the computing device being in a sleep mode;
analyzing, by the computing system, content that has been submitted to a social network by various users;
identifying, by the computing system and based on the analysis of the content that has been submitted to the social network by the various users;
(i) primary content sources that post content to the social network and whose content has been accessed more than a threshold amount, and(ii) secondary content sources that post content to the social network and whose content has been accessed less than the threshold amount, wherein the primary content sources are different from the secondary content sources;
identifying, by the computing system, content that was recently submitted to the social network by the primary content sources; and
causing, by the computing system and in response to having identified that the computing device has met the one or more predetermined conditions for pre-downloading the social network content to the computing device, the content that was recently submitted to the social network by the primary content sources to be downloaded from the social network to the computing device, without causing content that was from secondary content sources to also be downloaded.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method includes identifying, with a computer system that has a network interface, one or more primary categories of content from a social networking system that are of primary relevance to a user of a computing device, as compared to one or more secondary categories of content from the social networking system that are of lower importance to the user of the computing device; causing content from the primary categories to be downloaded from the social networking system to the computing device automatically and without user interaction with a social networking application that is arranged to display the downloaded content; and causing content from the secondary categories to be downloaded from the social networking system to the computing device separately from the content from the primary categories, and in response to a defined user interaction with a social networking application that corresponds to the social networking system.

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
-
identifying, by a computing system, that a computing device has met one or more predetermined conditions for pre-downloading social network content to the computing device, wherein the one or more predetermined conditions are selected from a group consisting of the computing device having at least a threshold battery charge, the computing device being connected to a WiFi network, one or more processors on the computing device having available processing capability, and the computing device being in a sleep mode; analyzing, by the computing system, content that has been submitted to a social network by various users; identifying, by the computing system and based on the analysis of the content that has been submitted to the social network by the various users; (i) primary content sources that post content to the social network and whose content has been accessed more than a threshold amount, and (ii) secondary content sources that post content to the social network and whose content has been accessed less than the threshold amount, wherein the primary content sources are different from the secondary content sources; identifying, by the computing system, content that was recently submitted to the social network by the primary content sources; and causing, by the computing system and in response to having identified that the computing device has met the one or more predetermined conditions for pre-downloading the social network content to the computing device, the content that was recently submitted to the social network by the primary content sources to be downloaded from the social network to the computing device, without causing content that was from secondary content sources to also be downloaded. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8)

9. A computer-implemented method comprising:
-
identifying, by a computing device, that the computing device has met one or more predetermined conditions for pre-downloading social network content to the computing device, wherein the one or more predetermined conditions are selected from a group consisting of the computing device having at least a threshold battery charge, the computing device being connected to a WiFi network, one or more processors on the computing device having available processing capability, and the computing device being in a sleep mode; providing, by the computing device and to a computing system, a request to deliver social network content in response to the identifying, so as to cause the server system to; receive the request to deliver social network content to the computing device; analyze content that has been submitted to a social network by various users; identify, based on the analysis of the content that has been submitted to the social network by the various users; (i) primary content sources that post content to the social network and whose content has been accessed more than a threshold amount, and (ii) secondary content sources that post content to the social network and whose content has been accessed less than the threshold amount, wherein the primary content sources are different from the secondary content sources; identify, by the computing system, content that was recently submitted to the social network by the primary content sources; and cause, in response to having received the request to deliver the social network content to the computing device and in response to having identified that the computing device has met the one or more predetermined conditions for pre-downloading, the content that was recently submitted to the social network by the primary content sources to be downloaded from the social network to the computing device, without causing content that was from secondary content sources to also be downloaded; receiving, by the computing device, the content that was recently submitted to the social network by the primary content sources; and displaying, by the computing device, the content that was recently submitted to the social network by the primary content sources. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12)

13. A system comprising:
-
one or more computer processors; and one or more non-transitory computer readable devices that include instructions that, when executed by the one or more computer processors, causes the processors to perform operations, the operations comprising; identifying, by a computing system, that a computing device has met one or more predetermined conditions for pre-downloading social network content to the computing device, wherein the one or more predetermined conditions are selected from a group consisting of the computing device having at least a threshold battery charge, the computing device being connected to a WiFi network, one or more processors on the computing device having available processing capability, and the computing device being in a sleep mode; analyzing, by the computing system, content that has been submitted to a social network by various users; identifying, by the computing system and based on the analysis of the content that has been submitted to the social network by the various users; (i) primary content sources that post content to the social network and whose content has been accessed more than a threshold amount, and (ii) secondary content sources that post content to the social network and whose content has been accessed less than the threshold amount, wherein the primary content sources are different from the secondary content sources; identifying, by the computing system, content that was recently submitted to the social network by the primary content sources; and causing, by the computing system and in response to having identified that the computing device has met the one or more predetermined conditions for pre-downloading the social network content to the computing device, the content that was recently submitted to the social network by the primary content sources to be downloaded from the social network to the computing device, without causing content that was from secondary content sources to also be downloaded. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
