PREEMPTIVE OFFER AND REWARDS CACHING ON DEVICE TO MINIMIZE NETWORK ROUND TRIPS

摘要

A mobile client device or the like stores a library of potential points of interest that are pre-transferred to the mobile device by the system. The system identifies a normal commerce range and transfers information relating to potential points of interest based on the normal commerce range of the user. By accessing the library of points of interest stored on the mobile client device, network roundtrips between the device and server can be minimized, thereby enhancing performance characteristics of the mobile client device.
