Patent number: 10574779Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for predictive caching of content to facilitate instantaneous use of the content. If a user is likely to commence use of a content item through a client, and if the client has available resources to facilitate instantaneous use, the client is configured to predictively cache the content item before the user commences use. In doing so, the client may obtain metadata for the content item from a server. The client may then initialize various resources to facilitate instantaneous use of the content item by the client based at least in part on the metadata.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2016Date of Patent: February 25, 2020Assignee: AMAZON TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: James Marvin Freeman, II, Aaron M.

Patent number: 10389838Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for client-side predictive caching of content to facilitate use of the content. If account is likely to commence use of a content item through a client, the client is configured to predictively cache the content item before the use is commenced. In doing so, the client may obtain an initial portion of the content item from another computing device. The client may then initialize various resources to facilitate use of the content item by the client. The client-side cache may be divided into multiple segments with different content selection criteria.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 2017Date of Patent: August 20, 2019Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Lei Li, Andrew Jason Ma, Gurpreet Singh Ahluwalia, Abhishek Dubey, Sachin Shah, Vijay Sen, Gregory Scott Benjamin, Prateek Rameshchandra Shah, Cody Wayne Maxwell Powell, Meltem Celikel, Darryl Hudgin, James Marvin Freeman, II, Aaron M.

Publication number: 20100299205Abstract: Third parties are prevented from obtaining proprietary information that a content provider might not want to expose. Targeting data used to enable a selection service to select targeted or supplemental content can be passed as an anchor in a uniform resource locator or stored in a parent file for a page. A second file can reside in an inline frame (iFrame) on the page that is able to pull the targeting data from the parent page, if in the same domain, or parse the parameters from the data in the anchor. The targeting data can be submitted to a selection service, which can return parameters specifying content or a type of supplemental content to be displayed. The request submitted to a supplemental content provider can come from a nested iFrame in a separate domain, such that the targeting data or source of the parent file cannot be obtained through the nested iFrame.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 20, 2009Publication date: November 25, 2010Inventors: David Erdmann, Joseph C.
