Method and apparatus for asynchronous distribution of content

摘要

An approach is provided for asynchronous distribution of content and notifications of updates to a client. A proxy server causes an establishment of at least one communication connection between at least one proxy client, at least one proxy server, and/or at least one service provider. The proxy server determines one or more updated content items available to the at least one proxy client. The proxy server causes a transmission of the one or more updated content items, one or more notifications regarding the one or more updated content items, or a combination thereof via the at least one communication connection.

1. A method comprising facilitating a processing of and/or processing (1) data and/or (2) information and/or (3) at least one signal, the (1) data and/or (2) information and/or (3) at least one signal based, at least in part, on the following:
an establishment of at least one communication connection between (a) at least one proxy client at a user device, and (b) at least one proxy server, at least one service provider, or a combination thereof; at least one determination of one or more updated web page content items available to the at least one proxy client; a transmission of the one or more updated web page content items via the at least one communication connection; and another transmission of one or more notifications regarding the one or more updated web page content items to the at least one proxy client via a push notification connection, wherein the at least one communication connection is asynchronous to the push notification connection, and wherein the push notification connection is established via at least one notification server, wherein the at least one notification server is physically separate from the at least one proxy server, the notification server configured to initiate push notifications to the at least one proxy client, the at least one notification server configured to initiate asynchronous push notifications.
