Browser Predictive Caching
First Claim
1. A computer implemented method for pre-caching web pages for display through a screen of a mobile device, the method comprising:
- receiving a load request comprising a current timestamp and an address, the address pointing to a remote server storing a current copy of an address content;
determining that an existing copy of the address content is pre-cached on the mobile device;
determining that a difference of the current timestamp and a pre-cache timestamp is greater than a heuristic timeliness value;
pre-caching the current copy of the address content on the mobile device from the remote server at the address; and
providing the current copy of the address content for display on the screen.

Abstract
A method and computer readable medium are disclosed for predictive caching of web pages for display through a screen of a mobile computing device. A load request is received at a mobile computing device, where the load request includes a current timestamp and an address. The address points to a remote server storing a current copy of the address content. The mobile computing device determines whether there is an existing copy of the address content is pre-cached on the mobile computing device. The mobile computing device determines whether a difference between the current timestamp and a pre-cache timestamp is greater than a heuristic timeliness value. If it is, the mobile computing device pre-caches the current copy of the address content from the remove server at the address on the mobile computing device. The mobile computing device then provides the current copy of the address content for display on its screen.

8. A computer implemented method for pre-caching web pages for display through a screen, the method comprising:
-
receiving a load request comprising a current timestamp and an address; incrementing an access count; determining that the access count exceeds a caching threshold; adding the address to a list of pre-cache addresses; decaying the access count for the address by a decay amount; determining that the caching threshold exceeds the access count; and removing the address from the list of pre-cache addresses. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11)

12. A computer readable storage medium configured to store instructions, the instructions when executed by a processor cause the processor to:
-
receive a load request comprising a current timestamp and an address, the address pointing to a remote server storing a current copy of an address content; determine that an existing copy of the address content is pre-cached on the mobile device; determine that a difference of the current timestamp and a pre-cache timestamp is greater than a heuristic timeliness value; pre-cache the current copy of the address content on the mobile device from the remote server at the address; and provide the current copy of the address content for display on the screen. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
