Abstract

The invention generally relates to optimizing the speed and reliability of the delivery of content or functionality to electronic devices. In certain aspects, the invention provides a system for managing content including a production server with a web interface and configured to allow a producer to create content. The system includes a gateway server which can receive the content and write it to a dynamic section. The gateway server can then compile the dynamic section into a compiled section, still including the content, and send it to a client, thereby giving an end-user access to new content or functionality.

Claims

1. A system for managing content, the system comprising:

a production server coupled to a web interface and configured to allow, via the web interface, a producer to create a source section comprising content;

a gateway server comprising a memory, a processor, and an input device, in communication with the production server, and configured to receive, responsive to a request from a client, the source section, and wherein the processor is configured to;

save the source section to the memory;

read, responsive to a request from a subsequent client for content previously accessed by any client, the source section;

write, responsive to the request from the subsequent client, a dynamic section comprising the content;

compile the dynamic section into a compiled section comprising the content; and

send the compiled section to a first client queue; and

a mobile device configured to;

establish a socket connection to the gateway server;

register as a listener with the gateway server; and

receive the compiled section.

2. The system of claim 1 further comprising a core database comprising a group data item, a first individual data item, and a second individual data item, and further wherein the processor is configured to:

read the source section and the group data item;

write the dynamic section to comprise the content and the group data item; and

compile the dynamic section and the first individual data item into the compiled section; and

compile the dynamic section and the second individual data item into a second compiled section distinct from the compiled section,

and further wherein the compiled section consists of a plurality of binary packets, the plurality of binary packets comprising the content, the group data item, and the first individual data item and the second compiled section consists of a second plurality of binary packets, the second plurality of binary packets comprising the content, the group data item, and the second individual data item.

3. An apparatus for delivering content to one or more clients, the apparatus comprising:

a memory;

an input device in communication with the memory and configured to receive a source section comprising a content;

a core database, the core database comprising a group data item, a second group data item received from a production computer where the second group data item was created by a producer, an individual data item received from a mobile device with an operating system, and a second individual data item received from a second mobile device with a second operating system different from the operating system; and

a processor in communication with the input device and the memory and configured to;

save the source section in the memory;

read the source section and the group data item;

write a dynamic section comprising the content and the group data item;

compile the dynamic section and the individual data item into a compiled section comprising the content;

send the compiled section to a client queue;

write a second dynamic section comprising the content and the second group data item;

compile the second dynamic section and the individual data item into a replacement compiled section recognizable by the operating system on the mobile device;

compile the second dynamic section and the second individual data item into a second compiled section recognizable by the second operating system on the second mobile device;

compile the dynamic section and the second individual data item into a shared compiled section recognizable by the operating system and the second operating system; and

compile the second dynamic section into a group compiled section recognizable by the first operating system and the second operating system.

4. The apparatus of claim 3, wherein the compiled section comprises a content app executable by a mobile application on the first mobile device;

and

the second compiled section comprises a second content app executable by a second mobile application on the second mobile device.

5. The apparatus of claim 3 further wherein the compiled section consists of a plurality of binary packets, and the plurality of binary packets comprises the content.

6. The apparatus of claim 3 wherein the input device receives the source section responsive to a phase one initiating event selected from the list consisting of:

a first logon onto the system;

a request from the first client for content previously not accessed by any client;

a feed manager retrieves new content;

a producer produces new content;

a scheduled event transpires; and

a producer pushes content.

7. The apparatus of claim 3, wherein the processer reads the source section and writes the dynamic section responsive to a phase two initiating event selected from the list consisting of:

the receiving by the memory of the source section comprising the content;

a logon by a subsequent client; and

a request from a subsequent client for content previously accessed by any client.

8. The apparatus of claim 3, wherein the processor is further configured to:

compare the source section to an older source section corresponding to the source section and write, responsive to the source section being not the same as the older source section, the dynamic section and compile the dynamic section into a compiled section and send the compiled section to the client queue; and

compare the dynamic section to an older dynamic section corresponding to the dynamic section and compile, responsive to the dynamic section not being the same as the older dynamic section, the dynamic section into a compiled section and send the compiled section to the client queue.
