This predicted next page or link can be a most likely candidate for what a user viewing the current page would request. | 09-11-2008 |
| 20080222243 | Client-side method for identifying an optimal server - A client player performs a query to a nameserver against a network map of Internet traffic conditions. The query is made asking for a particular service (e.g., RTSP) via a particular protocol (TCP) in a particular domain. In response, the nameserver returns a set of one or more tokens, with each token defining a machine or, in the preferred embodiment, a group of machines, from which the player should seek to obtain the stream. The player may then optionally perform one or more tests to determine which of a set of servers provides a best quality of service for the stream. That server is then used to retrieve the stream. Periodically, the client player code repeats the query during stream playback to determine whether there is a better source for the stream. If a better source exists, the player performs a switch to the better stream source “on the fly” if appropriate to maintain and/or enhance the quality of service. Preferably, the client player publishes data identifying why it selected a particular server, and such data may be used to augment the network map used for subsequent request routing determinations. | 09-11-2008 |
| 20080222244 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ACCELERATION BY PREFETCHING ASSOCIATED OBJECTS - Association information is used to build association trees to associate base pages and embedded objects at a proxy. An association tree has a root node containing a URL for a base page, and zero or more leaf nodes each containing a URL for an embedded object. In most cases, an association tree will maintain the invariant that all leaves contain distinct URLs. However, it is also possible to have an association tree in which the same URL appears in multiple nodes. An association tree may optionally contain one or more internal nodes, each of which contains a URL that is an embedded object for some other base page, but which may also be fetched as a base page itself. Given a number of association trees and a base-page URL, a prefetch system finds the root or interior node corresponding to that URL (if any) and traverses the tree from that node, prefetching URLs until the URL of the last leaf node is prefetched. The prefetching starts the process of bringing over the various embedded objects before the user or program would ordinarily fetch them. | 09-11-2008 |
| 20080222245 | Client-Server Methods for Dynamic Content Configuration for Microbrowsers - A microbrowser such as web-enabled wireless telephones and personal digital assistants allows a user to configure types of objects to be blocked from download including object memory consumption, display area, download time, and restrictions on animated images and executable scripts. Microbrowser state conditions such as battery level and network connection mode are considered when providing said limitations such that more restrictions may be placed during low battery periods to maximize battery life. For example, during low battery conditions or analog connection mode, a user may configure an enhanced microbrowser not to download advertisements, run scripts or animated objects in order to maximize remaining battery life. In another example, a user may configure an enhanced microbrowser to block the download of objects containing audio, or which will occupy more than a certain percentage of the available display area. | 09-11-2008 |

| 20120079014 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DELAYED ALLOCATION OF RESOURCES - The present invention allows a server to delay allocating resources to a client's request. When the client requests a feature that requires server resources, the server accepts and acknowledges the client's request, but the client is prohibited from using the requested feature until further notice from the server. For example, during an authorization process, the server allocates only the minimum resources required to maintain the session and to authorize the client. Thereafter, the server allocates the resources necessary to support the client's request only when the resources become available. Until then, the server maintains the communications session without supporting the request. Thus, the server shepherds its resources rather than committing them at the whim of a client. Also, a client need not repeat its request if the server cannot immediately satisfy it; instead, the server accepts the request and then later begins to support it when adequate resources become available. | 03-29-2012 |

Specifically, in a typical embodiment, when a message is received on a broker system from a publisher system, the broker system analyzes the message for potentially repetitive data. Such data can be determined from historical messages (e.g., determining that a certain set of data appeared in multiple messages and is thus flagged in a database or the like), a set of rules (e.g., if data set “Y” appears, flag it as potentially repetitive), etc. Regardless, once such a set of data has been identified, a unique identifier/key corresponding thereto will be sent back to the publisher system and the set of data will be stored in a (data) cache. Upon receipt, the publisher system will cache/store the unique identifier in a (key) cache. Then, when the publisher system generates a future message that would contain the same set of data, the publisher system will substitute the unique identifier (as retrieved from the key cache) for the set of data to yield an abbreviated/truncated message. The abbreviated message would be sent to the broker system, which would: analyze the message; locate the unique identifier; retrieve the corresponding set of data from the (data) cache; replace the unique identifier with the set of data to yield a completed message; and then send the completed message to relevant subscriber system(s). | 08-23-2012 |

| 20120246219 | SHARED CACHE FOR POTENTIALLY REPETITIVE MESSAGE DATA IN A PUBLISH-SUBSCRIPTION ENVIRONMENT - In general, embodiments of the present invention provide an approach for caching potentially repetitive data in a publication-subscription (pub/sub) environment. Specifically, in a typical embodiment, when a message is received on a broker system from a publisher system, the broker system analyzes the message for potentially repetitive data. Such data can be determined from historical messages (e.g., determining that a certain set of data appeared in multiple messages and is thus flagged in a database or the like), a set of rules (e.g., if data set “Y” appears, flag it as potentially repetitive), etc. Regardless, once such a set of data has been identified, the set of data will be cached, and a unique identifier/tag corresponding thereto will be sent to the publisher system and to applicable subscribers. Thereafter, any subsequent message including the same data will contain the unique identifier in place of the cached data (i.e., an abbreviated message). The abbreviated message can be sent from the publisher system to the broker system, and then onto the subscriber system, which will retrieve the data from the shared cache and replace the unique identifier in the abbreviated message with the cached data to yield a complete message. Thus, once data has been cached, there is only a need to send an abbreviated message, which will save network bandwidth. | 09-27-2012 |

| 20130103740 | METHOD OF TRACKING OFFLINE USER INTERACTION IN A RENDERED DOCUMENT ON A MOBILE DEVICE - While a device is offline, usage data is tracked on the device. The usage data is uploaded to a server after the device is again connected to a network. Applications that run on mobile devices typically embed a browser to display content. Unfortunately, mobile devices also frequently disconnect from the associated network. A system tracks usage data by using JavaScript in the browser to communicate with the native device, which then buffers the usage data for future upload. This is done by installing, in each application, a “protocol handler” that listens for a request over a particular protocol. The protocol handler intercepts the requests and stores the usage data locally on the device. Subsequently, when the device detects network connectivity, the device uploads the data to servers that collect data for aggregation and presentation. | 04-25-2013 |

| 20160381184 | VBN SERVER CLUSTERING SYSTEM, METHOD OF VBN SERVER CLUSTERING, AND VBN SERVER FOR CLUSTERING - A visitor based network (VBN) server clustering system comprises a cluster of VBN servers for servicing a single local area network (LAN). Each VBN server comprises a client device data store for creating and maintaining device state records of user devices connected to the LAN, an interface for data communication with the user devices through the LAN, and a network traffic processing unit for processing network traffic from and to the user devices using the device state records in the client device data store. The VBN server further comprises a clustering manager for implementing clustering of the VBN servers by filtering the network traffic from and to the one or more user devices based on the configuration settings of the VBN servers and the device state records so as to allow the network traffic processing unit to process only a filtered portion of the network traffic. The filtering of the network traffic partitions the network traffic so that each user device is processed by a single one of the VBN servers within the cluster at a given time. | 12-29-2016 |

The ISP/OSP maintains multiple instances of the resource. In deciding to which instance of the resource to route the client computer, a resource selection server takes network routability information into account. Geographic proximity, resource utilization, network utilization, and/or maintenance of peering agreements may also be taken into account in selecting the instance of the resource. | 12-29-2016 |
| 20160381526 | MERGING ACTIVE GROUP CALLS - A method for merging active group calls includes hosting, at a first Push to talk (PTT) server, a first active group call. A first group of PTT clients participate in the first active group call. The first PTT server receives a request to invite a second group of PTT clients. The request includes an identifier for the second group of PTT clients. The first PTT server sends a first invite message to the second PTT server. The first invite message includes the identifier for the second group of PTT clients. In response to the first invite message, the first PTT server receives a response message. The response message indicates that the second group of PTT clients are participating in the second active group call. The first PTT server hosts a merged PTT group call. | 12-29-2016 |

| 20220141275 | CONTENT SET BASED DELTACASTING - Methods, apparatuses, and systems are provided for improving utilization of the satellite communications system through various “deltacasting” techniques for handling content sets (e.g., feeds or websites). Embodiments operate in a client-server context, including a server optimizer, a client optimizer, and, in some embodiments, a pre-positioning client. Within this client-server context, content sets are multicast (e.g., anticipatorily pre-positioned in a local dictionary) to end users of the communications system and are handled at the content set level, according to set-level metadata and/or user preferences. In some embodiments, when locally stored information from the content sets is requested by a user, deltacasting techniques are used to generate fingerprints for use in identifying and exploit multicasting and/or other opportunities for increased utilization of links of the communications system. | 05-05-2022 |
