Abstract
A native application executing on a user's device can receive a selection of one or more content items. The one or more content items can be selected via a cursor positioning device or via a gesture on a touch screen. In some aspects, the type of gesture can indicate a priority for loading the one or more content items onto the user's device. The one or more content items can be loaded while other content items are being processed by the user's device.
Claims20
A method for accelerating acquiring content over a network, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a native application executable by one or more processors, an indication of one or more selected user interface elements;
- determining, by the one or more processors, one or more content items to be loaded based, at least in part, on the indication of the one or more selected user interface elements;
- and
- changing a priority associated with loading the one or more content items.
A computer program product for accelerating acquiring content over a network, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by one or more processors of a device to cause the device to:
- receive, by a native application, an indication of one or more selected user interface elements;
- determine one or more content items to be loaded based, at least in part, on the indication of the one or more selected user interface elements;
- and
- change a priority associated with loading the one or more content items.
A device comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- a computer readable storage medium communicably coupled to the one or more processors, the computer readable storage medium having stored thereon program instructions, that when executed, cause the device to:
- receive, by a native application executing on the device, an indication of one or more selected user interface elements,
- determine one or more content items to be loaded based, at least in part, on the indication of the one or more selected user interface elements, and
- change a priority associated with loading the one or more content items.
