  • Concealing latency in display of pages
    Patent number: 9503499
    Abstract: Content logic in a web browser receives a request to load a web page in the web browser and determines whether a cached copy of the web page is available in a browser cache. If the cached copy is available, the content logic loads the cached copy of the web page in the web browser. While the cached copy of the web page is loaded, the content logic sends a request to a web server hosting the web page for updated content associated with the web page. If updated content is received from the web server, the content logic removes stale content from the cached copy of the web page and loads the updated content in the web browser.

  • SYSTEM FOR MANAGING POWER OF PERIPHERAL COMMUNICATIONS BY AUTOMATICALLY CLOSING COMMUNICATIONS CHANNEL IMMEDIATELY AFTER FINISHING A COMMUNICATION WITH A PERIPHERAL DEVICE
    Publication number: 20110119511
    Abstract: An improved method and apparatus manages communications port contention and power consumption for a handheld computer, particularly handheld computers with a communications protocol that boosts power consumption when active, such as an RS-232 protocol. The improved method provides communications channel management that automatically opens the communications channel in response to a wake-up signal sent to a handheld computer from a peripheral device. The computer peripheral device is explicitly and/or implicitly identified. The opened communications channel is closed in response to receiving some data from the peripheral device, and/or after a device timeout expires without the handheld computer receiving data from the computer peripheral device.
