1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- determining, for an interface having a visible region in which visible, selectable tiles associated with applications are presented and a non-visible region in which tiles associated with applications are not currently presented, a pre-render portion of the non-visible region; and
pre-rendering new content for tiles in the pre-render portion and for which reports indicating the new content have been received.

Abstract
This document describes techniques for pre-rendering new content for an application-selectable user interface. These techniques permit a user to select to view application-selectable tiles of the interface and, on selection, quickly see new content through the tiles in the selected portion. In some embodiments, the techniques pre-render content for a portion of a non-visible region of the interface rather than all of the non-visible region to reduce resource costs, such as processor and memory usage on a device and communication bandwidth usage on a communication network.

14. A computer-implemented method comprising:
-
receiving reports associated with applications, the applications having associated tiles; determining which of the associated tiles are in; a visible region of an interface; and a pre-render portion of a non-visible region of the interface; rendering new content for the associated tiles in the visible region; pre-rendering new content for the associated tiles in the pre-render portion of the non-visible region; receiving an input selecting to view the non-visible region; responsive to the input, presenting the pre-render portion; and rendering the pre-rendered new content for the tiles in the pre-render portion. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17)

18. A computer-implemented method comprising:
-
presenting an interface enabling selection of tiles associated with applications, the interface having a visible region and a non-visible region; receiving a gesture through the interface, the gesture having an inertia; determining, based on the inertia of the gesture, a portion of the non-visible region that will be presented in response to the gesture; determining a set of the applications for which; reports indicating new content have been received; and corresponding tiles are within the portion of the non-visible region that will be presented in response to the gesture; pre-rendering new content for the corresponding tiles in the portion of the non-visible region prior to presenting the portion of the non-visible region; presenting the portion of the non-visible region; and rendering the pre-rendered new content for the corresponding tiles in the portion of the non-visible region. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
