  • Patent number: 10867117
    Abstract: Portions of document contents are separated into individually controlled sections on a user interface of a smaller size client device display. A document viewed on a mobile device may include different content portions such as textual content, tables, slides and graphics. Due to a smaller user interface of the mobile device, some portions of the content may extend outside of the user interface and may not all be visible at the same time. The user may use gestures to scroll through and resize the document to view all of the contents. The system may separate each of the different content portions into individual sections and enable the user to control each section separately, such that the user may navigate, resize, and reposition each individual section without affecting the size and position of the remaining sections of the document for optimally viewing the document on the user interface.

  • Patent number: 8892638
    Abstract: Retrieval and local storage of data at mobile devices is managed by employing a scheduling policy based on a prediction policy of a preloader, a pre-render policy, and with respect to a current viewport state to reduce waiting time and mobile device resource usage. Portions of data maintained on a server associated with a client device are retrieved and preloaded into the client device memory to enable a user to view documents seamlessly while navigating through a document without overburdening the client device memory and/or processing capacity based on a prediction. A current viewing position of the document and user navigation on the document via a touch action or gesture are detected and next portion of data to present another portion of the document is predicted. A request manager may retrieve the requested data from the server and pre-rendered so that it is available when requested by the user.
