  • Delivering and displaying content feeds on smartwatch devices
    Patent number: 9621678
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system for displaying a content feed on a smartwatch device. During operation, the system transmits a request for a content feed to a mobile application on a mobile device. When the mobile application responds with the content feed within a pre-specified period after the request, the system stores the content feed on the smartwatch device and displays the content feed on the smartwatch device. When the mobile application does not respond with an update to the content feed within the pre-specified period after a subsequent request for the content feed from the smartwatch device, the system obtains the content feed from storage on the smartwatch device and displays the content feed on the smartwatch device in lieu of the update.
