SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PREFETCHING ONLINE CONTENT ITEMS FOR LOW LATENCY DISPLAY TO A USER

摘要

A computer-implemented method for pre-fetching online content items is provided. The method uses a first computing device including a processor in communication with an output device and a memory. The method includes displaying an online publication to a user using the output device. The method also includes identifying a break point associated with the online publication. The method further includes determining, by the processor, a pre-fetch point prior to the break point. The method also includes initiating transmission of a content item into the memory at the pre-fetch point.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method for pre-fetching online content items, said method using a first computing device including a processor in communication with an output device and a memory, said method comprising:
displaying an online publication to a user using the output device; identifying a break point associated with the online publication; determining an estimated display duration of a content item for display on the output device of the first computer device at the breakpoint of the online publication, the estimated display duration being based on a content item viewing history associated with the first computer device; determining, by the processor, a pre-fetch point prior to the break point based on the estimated display duration; and initiating transmission of at least a portion of the content item into the memory at the pre-fetch point.
