  • Publication number: 20120191809
    Abstract: Methods and systems for transmitting data are disclosed, In one embodiment a processor-implemented user interface module prompts a user via a graphical user interface to identify or enter data in a first information field and a second information field displayed on the graphical user interface. A processor-implemented data transmitting module automatically commences transmitting data over a network after detecting that the user has completed the identification or entry of data in the first information field and before the user has completed identifying or entering data in the second information field. The user interface module detects that the user has modified the first information field, and the data transmitting module aborts transmitting data over the network in response to detecting that the user has modified the first information field.

  • Publication number: 20120185565
    Abstract: A system, a computer readable storage medium including instructions, and a computer-implemented method of pre-fetching in a network. A request is received from a user device for a first network-accessible data item in a plurality of network-accessible data items. The first network-accessible data item is transmitted to the user device. A determination of the most frequently viewed data items is made and a second network-accessible data item is retrieved from the most frequently viewed items and transmitted to the user device. The second network-accessible data item is transmitted before receiving a request for the second network-accessible data item from the user device.

  • Patent number: 8169443
    Abstract: A system, a computer readable storage medium including instructions, and a computer-implemented method of pre-fetching in a network. A request is received from a user device for a first web page, the first web page being upstream of other web pages in a page flow. The first web page is transmitted to the user device. At least one web page that is downstream of the first web page in the page flow is transmitted to the user device, the at least one web page being transmitted without receiving a request for the at least one web page.

  • Patent number: 8145730
    Abstract: Methods and systems for transmitting data are disclosed. In one embodiment a user interface module causes a first information field to be presented as part of a graphical user interface, receives information entered in the first information field, and detects that a user has navigated away from the first information field. In response to detecting that the user has navigated away from the information field, a data transmitting module may commence transmitting over a network the information entered in the first information field.

  • Patent number: 7884827
    Abstract: A system and method of pre-fetching data in a network includes displaying first data to a user, the first data being upstream of other data in a data flow. Before receiving a request from the user to view a second data, retrieving the second data and storing the retrieved second data in a memory device. After a request to display the second data is received from the user, using the stored second data for displaying to the user.
