PREDICTIVE CONTENT CACHING

摘要

Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer readable media may be configured for improved predictive content caching. A system may determine a value that is a function of one or more rates at which a portion of a content item is being consumed and based on this value, may also calculate a projected position after a predetermined time period. By comparing the projected position to a dynamically adjustable threshold position for requesting a new portion of the content item, a determination may be made as to when to retrieve and/or cache a new portion of the content item.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
determining, at one or more computing devices, a first rate of consumption of a first portion of a content item at a first time; determining, at the one or more computing devices, a second rate of consumption of the first portion at a second time; determining, at the one or more computing devices, a value that is a function of the first rate of consumption and the second rate of consumption; and determining, at the one or more computing devices, one or more threshold positions for requesting a second portion of the content item.
