ALLOCATION OF CLIENT DEVICE MEMORY FOR CONTENT FROM CONTENT SOURCES

摘要

A client device presents content received from various content sources to a user. Different portions of the client device's memory are allocated for storing content from different content sources. The client device determines a quality score for a content source based on usability of content received from the content source. Based on the quality score for a content source, the client device allocates a portion of its memory for content from the content source. Additionally, if content from a content source is larger than an amount of memory allocated for the content source, the client device stores a portion of the content and requests storage of an additional portion of the content by an additional client device. When the client device has sufficient memory to store the content, the additional portion is retrieved from the additional client device and combined with the portion of the content.
