PHYSICAL LOCATION INFLUENCED CACHING

摘要

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to the caching of network content requested by a user of a client computing device during a browsing session. The client computing device's various networks and varying bandwidth can have a negative impact on the browsing session. Caching of network content can enhance performance. For example, network content can be cached on a wireless mobile device so that it is available on the device at a further time without requiring significant bandwidth or, in some cases, even a network connection. Predicting the bandwidth at the time the cached content will be accessed can allow customized caching and an improved user experience.

主权项

1. A system for caching network content, the system comprising:
a data store configured to store specific computer-executable instructions; a network computing component comprising computing hardware configured to execute the specific computer-executable instructions to:
receive, from a client computing device configured with a wireless network connection, a request for a web page;predict a first web page that will be requested in the future, the prediction based at least in part on the received web page request; andcache the first web page according to a first caching policy, wherein the first caching policy specifies caching the first web page on the data store;receive a plurality of metrics from the client computing device, wherein the plurality of metrics comprises at least a direction of travel of the client computing device;determine a current bandwidth of the client computing device;determine a future bandwidth of the client computing device based at least in part on the direction of travel of the client computing device;compare the current bandwidth and the future bandwidth to determine whether a difference exceeds a threshold;transmit the first web page to the client computing device according to a second caching policy, wherein the second caching policy specifies caching the first web page on the client computing device; andcause the first web page to be cached on the client computing device according to the second caching policy.
