Abstract
Methods and apparatuses are described for organizing audio/visual content and prefetching selected audio/visual content configured to be displayed to a user. In one embodiment, the methods and apparatuses for presenting content identifies a preference corresponding to a user; detects a current display window; and prefetches at least one audio/visual content in response, in part, to the current display window and the preference.
Claims28
A method programmed in a non-transitory memory comprising:
- identifying a preference corresponding to a user;
- detecting a current display window;
- and
- prefetching at least one audio/visual content in response to the current display window and the preference, wherein a frequency of prefetching depends on detecting user activity, wherein prefetching the at least one audio/visual content is based on a location of an audio/visual content listing relative to listings displayed in the current display window.
An electronic device-implemented system comprising:
- means for identifying a preference;
- means for organizing audio/visual content using a parameter;
- means for detecting a current display window being displayed on a display;
- and
- means for prefetching at least one audio/visual content from a memory device in response to the current display window and the preference, wherein a frequency of prefetching depends on detecting user activity, wherein prefetching the at least one audio/visual content is based on a location of an audio/visual content listing relative to listings displayed in the current display window.
A method programmed in a non-transitory memory comprising:
- detecting an activity;
- setting prefetch parameter based on the detected activity;
- detecting a current display window;
- and
- prefetching a content item based on the prefetch parameter and the current display window, wherein a frequency of prefetching occurs at a predetermined time interval, wherein prefetching the content item is based on a location of a content listing relative to listings displayed in the current display window.
An electronic device-implemented system comprising:
- a hardware media container configured for storing an audio/visual content item;
- a prefetch buffer configured for temporarily storing a prefetched audio/visual content items within a memory device;
- and
- a presentation layer configured for transmitting the prefetched audio/visual content item to the prefetch buffer based on a user's preference and a current display window, without a user selecting content within the current display window, wherein the prefetched audio/visual content items dynamically change as the user scrolls through display windows, wherein a frequency of prefetching depends on detecting user activity, wherein prefetching the audio/visual content item is based on a location of an audio/visual content listing relative to listings displayed in the current display window.
A server device comprising:
- a. a non-transitory memory for storing an application the application for:
- i. receiving current display window information;
- and
- ii. sending prefetched audio/visual content to a client device based on the current display window information, wherein a frequency of prefetching occurs at a predetermined time interval, wherein prefetching the at least one audio/visual content is based on a location of an audio/visual content listing relative to listings displayed in the current display window;
- and
- b. a processor for processing the application.
