  • Usage-based content filtering for bandwidth optimization
    Patent number: 8825856
    Abstract: Media and systems are provided for limiting bandwidth consumption in a network environment by presenting customized browser-presentable resources. A request for a base universal resource locator (URL), followed by a request for a specific resource, is received. An optimized URL for the request is generated. When a predetermined number of requests for the specific component resource are received during the course of accessing the base URL, subsequent user requests for the base URL are redirected to the optimized URL. Thus, only the specific resources are presented for display. Requests to return to the base URL can result in discontinuing redirection. Returning to the base URL and accessing additional resources can modify the enhanced URL or redirect requests for the base URL to a difference component resource. Network bandwidth usage is enhanced by recognizing repetitive user requests.
