  • Patent number: 10277706
    Abstract: An aspect of preemptive distribution of content includes monitoring content accessed in a local cache of a computing device. A time and a location of content accesses in the local cache are tracked. Prefetching heuristics are determined based on patterns of the time and the location of the content accesses. The prefetching heuristics are applied to speculatively prefetch additional content prior to the computing device receiving a request to access the additional content.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9930134
    Abstract: A method for sending data to a user device comprises establishing a communicative connection between a first user device and a server, receiving the data at the first user device, caching the data on the first user device, establishing a communicative connection between the first user device and a second user device, determining whether the first user device is moving out of communicative range with the second user device, sending the data from the first user device to the second user device responsive to determining that the first user device is moving out of communicative range with the second user device, and caching the data on the second user device.

  • Patent number: 9712500
    Abstract: A method for determining a compute amount contributed by a device is provided. The method comprises receiving encrypted data from a processor of a customer system and parsing the encrypted data into a plurality of encrypted subsets. Then, the method associates a token specific to the device with an encrypted subset of the plurality of encrypted subsets to produce a packaged subset. The packaged subset is sent to the device. In response, a processed packaged subset that includes the token is received. The compute time contributed by the device is determined from the token of the processed packaged subset.
