PREFETCHING APPLICATION DATA FOR PERIODS OF DISCONNECTIVITY

摘要

Application data prefetching embodiments are presented that prefetch and provide application data for use by an application operating on a mobile computing device during a period of disconnectivity from a communications network. In this way, an online experience can be achieved even during periods of network disconnectivity. In one implementation, application data is pushed to a mobile computing device by a cloud-based application data prefetching service. In another implementation, the mobile computing device takes on the tasks of prefetching the application data and providing it to the application.
