Estimating the term…
A client-based system has a scheduling subsystem to schedule a time to obtain the Web content from the server. When the client reaches the scheduled time, the scheduling subsystem generates an event notification that contains sufficient information explaining how to retrieve the Web content. The client-based system has a delivery subsystem that is responsive to the event notification to obtain the Web content at the time set by the scheduling subsystem. The delivery subsystem preferably has multiple delivery modules that enable different types of distribution mechanism. In addition to the Web content or data itself, the delivery subsystem obtains an index to the Web content. The index summarizes the Web content to facilitate local search and find tasks. The index and Web content are stored in a cache at the client. An indexing subsystem presents the index to a user and enables the user to select from the index portions of the Web content that they prefer. Based on these preferences, filters are created to remove items not of interest. When the client is offline, the user browses the cached Web content. The user is offered essentially the same functionality as a live online session, except that any requests to a remote server are temporarily accumulated for later submission. When the client reconnects to the server, all accumulated data is sent in batch to the appropriate servers. The user can also create his/her own channel by aggregating content from different channels.
