Systems and methods for anticipatory push search for a homescreen browser

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method comprising:

• collecting profile data indicative of behavior of a user with respect to usage of a mobile device;
• constructing a user profile, from the collected profile data, where the user profile comprises an anticipated usage of the mobile device by the user;
• publishing a content search request based on the anticipated usage of the mobile device by the user;
• providing the content search request to a communal location on a computing network accessible to a plurality of content provider systems;
• receiving a plurality of content responses from a plurality of content providers, each content response including content generated by a corresponding content provider purported to be relevant to the anticipated usage of the mobile device by the user, wherein each content provider is responsible for determining which content search requests to generate content responses to;
• determining a relevance of each of the plurality of received content responses based on a relevance of the content in said each of the plurality of received content responses based on the anticipated usage of the mobile device by the user;
• ranking the plurality of received content responses based on relative relevance associated with each received content response;
• selecting a subset of one or more content responses from the plurality of content responses based on the ranking of the plurality of received content responses;
• and
• providing the selected subset of content responses to the mobile device for populating an anticipatory homescreen browser with content from the selected subset.

A server computing system comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processor coupled with the memory to
• collect profile data indicative of behavior of a user with respect to usage of a mobile device,
• construct a user profile, from the collected profile data, where the user profile comprises an anticipated usage of the mobile device by the user,
• publish a content search request based on the anticipated usage of the mobile device by the user,
• provide the content search request to a communal location on a computing network accessible to a plurality of content provider systems,
• receive a plurality of content responses from a plurality of content providers, each content response including content generated by a corresponding content provider purported to be relevant to the anticipated usage of the mobile device by the user, wherein each content provider is responsible for determining which content search requests to generate content responses to,
• determine a relevance of each of the plurality of received content responses based on a relevance of the content in said each of the plurality of received content responses based on the anticipated usage of the mobile device by the user,
• rank the plurality of received content responses based on relative relevance associated with each received content response,
• select a subset of one or more content responses from the plurality of content responses based on the ranking of the plurality of received content responses, and
• provide the selected subset of content responses to the mobile device for populating an anticipatory homescreen browser with content from the selected subset.
