Method and apparatus for content pre-fetching and preparation
First Claim
1. A method of processing content in a network, the method comprising the steps of:
- predicting a device used by a user to access content residing in the network, wherein the prediction of the device is at least in part a function of context information associated with the user; and
processing the content for access by the user via the predicted device.

Abstract
A method of pre-fetching and preparing content in an information processing system is provided. The method includes the steps of generating at least one content pre-fetching policy and at least one content preparation policy, wherein each of the policies are at least in part a function of context information associated with a user. The content is pre-fetched based on information contained within the at least one content pre-fetching policy. Once the content has been pre-fetched, it is prepared based on information contained within the at least one content preparation policy. The context information associated with the user includes at least one of the user'"'"'s usage patterns, current location, future plans and preferences.

9. A method of maintaining data in an information network, comprising the steps of:
-
storing replicas of content data in two or more stores; and
synchronizing the content data in each of the two or more stores, wherein timing of the synchronization process is a function of a user'"'"'s historical context information. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12)
