Predictive prefetching of data from remote client-state cache from server to update local client-state cache
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- sending from a server to a user interface (UI) of a client an output indicating an operation of a state-based client-server application, wherein the UI is associated with the state-based client-server application, and wherein the operation indicates a state transition from a current state to a new state of the state-based client-server application;
receiving with the server a client request supplied from the client; and
sending to the client from the server a subset of a hierarchy of data units pre-computed and stored at the server, each data unit of the subset corresponding to a respective one of a plurality of successive states of the state-based client-server application that may follow the new state, the subset including a first data unit that corresponds to a subsequent state of the plurality of successive states that may follow the new state.

Abstract
Response delay associated with a state-based client-server application can be reduced with utilization of an application state server-side cache. A server caches data for a set of one or more possible states of a client-server application that may follow a current state of the application. The server rapidly responds to a client request with data that corresponds to an appropriate new state of the application in accordance with the application state server-side cache. The server determines that the application will transition to the appropriate new state from the current state of the application with the application state server-side cache based, at least in part, on an operation indicated by the client request.

7. A server-client method comprising:
receiving with a client from a server predictive display update data corresponding to one or more user interface (UI) states of a state-based client-server application that are subsequent to a new UI state of the state-based client-server application and caching the predictively supplied display update data prior to receiving user input corresponding to the one or more subsequent UI states of the state-based client-server application. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

15. A server-side method comprising:
predictively supplying display update data to a client from a server, wherein the display update data corresponds to one or more user interface (UI) states of a state-based client-server application that are subsequent to a new UI state of the state-based client-server application, to a client that caches the predictively supplied display update data prior to receiving user input corresponding to the one or more subsequent UI states of the state-based client-server application. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
