Apparatus and method for predicted response generation
First Claim
1. A server computer system including a processor, a file system and a network adapter, wherein said server computer system is connected via a communications network to a client computer system, said server computer system comprising:
- receiver means coupled to said communications network for receiving an incoming request from said client system,handler means coupled to said receiver means for processing a first incoming request and preparing a first response, wherein said handler means further comprises executable instructions executing on said processor,predictor means coupled to said handler means for predicting a second request from said client system and for preparing a predicted second response to said predicted second request,comparator coupled to said receiver means and said predictor means for comparing incoming requests from said communications network to said predicted second request, andtransmitter means coupled to said handler means and said comparator means for transmitting said first response to said client computer system via said communications network and for transmitting said predicted second response, when said comparator means identifies a match of said incoming request to said predicted second request, to said client computer system via said communications network.

Abstract
A method and apparatus are provided for generation of predicted responses in a computer communications network system. A server in the computer communications network system predicts the client'"'"'s next request based on the present client'"'"'s request. The server sets a trigger that recognizes a match of the client'"'"'s predicted request. When a client'"'"'s predicted request arrives, the trigger sends the response. Additionally, the server associates a timeout action with the predicted response so that if a predicted request is not received within the timeout interval or other events occur before the predicted request arrives, the triggered response is removed and an alternative action is performed.

10. A method for generating predicted responses in a server computer system including a processor, a file system and a network adapter, wherein said server computer system is connected via a communications network to a client computer system, said method comprising the steps of:
-
receiving an incoming request from said client system, processing a first incoming request and preparing a first response, transmitting said first response to said client computer system via said communications network; predicting a second request from said client system and preparing a predicted second response to said predicted second request, comparing a next incoming request from said communications network to said predicted second request, wherein said comparing step further comprises generating and comparing a hash signature of said incoming request to a trigger set containing said predicted second request, and responsive to an identified match of said next incoming request to said predicted second request, transmitting said predicted second response to said client computer system via said communications network. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
