Data transfers from memory to manage graphical output latency

A method of transferring data from memory to manage graphical output latency, comprising:

• receiving, by a natural language processing component of a computing device comprising one or more processors communicatively coupled to a display device, an acoustic signal carrying a query, the acoustic signal detected by a microphone communicatively coupled to the computing device;
• and
• in response to receiving the acoustic signal:
• determining, by the computing device, that a wireless controller device operational to control the computing device is in an inactive state based on identifying an absence of a particular signal from the wireless controller device during a predetermined time interval prior to receipt of the acoustic signal;
• establishing, by the computing device, based on receiving the acoustic signal and determining the wireless controller device is in the inactive state, a first interaction mode for a graphical user interface rendered by the computing device for display via the display device;
• setting, by the computing device based on the graphical user interface being in the first interaction mode, a prefetch parameter to a first value;
• providing, by the computing device, the graphical user interface configured with the first interaction mode for display via the display device;
• prefetching, by the computing device, based on the query and the prefetch parameter, a first amount of electronic content items corresponding to the first value, wherein the electronic content items are responsive to the query;
• establishing, by the computing device responsive to detecting that the wireless controller device entered an active state while the graphical user interface is in the first interaction mode, a second interaction mode for the graphical user interface;
• overriding, responsive to detecting the wireless controller device entered the second state, the first value of the prefetch parameter with a second value different than the first value;
• and
• prefetching, by the computing device responsive to the prefetch parameter overridden to the second value, a second amount of the electronic content items corresponding to the second value.
