Abstract
A method performed by a device that has a current first network connection to a first network. The device determining one or more current conditions associated with the device, determining whether a disconnect of the first network connection is imminent based on the one or more current conditions and responsive to determining that the disconnect is imminent, performing a pre-fetch operation to request data over the first network connection for at least one application resident on the device.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- at a device that has a current first network connection to a first network:
- determining one or more current conditions associated with the device;
- determining whether a disconnect of the first network connection is imminent based on the one or more current conditions;
- and
- responsive to determining that the disconnect is imminent, performing a pre-fetch operation to request data over the first network connection for at least one application resident on the device.

A device, comprising:
- a transceiver configured to establish a first network connection to a first network;
- and
- a processor configured to determine one or more current conditions of the device, the one or more current conditions comprising at least one of a quality of the first network connection or a context of the device, the processor being further configured to determine whether a disconnect of the first network connection is imminent based on the one or more current conditions, and when the disconnect is determined to be imminent, the processor being further configured to perform a pre-fetch operation to request data over the first network connection for at least one application executing on the device.
A device, comprising:
- at a device having a current first network connection to a first network:
- circuitry for determining one or more current conditions of the device, the one or more current conditions comprising at least one of a quality of the first network connection or a context of the device;
- circuitry for determining whether a disconnect of the first network connection is imminent based on the one or more current conditions;
- and
- responsive to determining that the disconnect of the first network connection is imminent, circuitry for performing a pre-fetch operation to request data over the first network connection for at least one application executing on the device.
