  • CACHING MULTIPLE VIEWS CORRESPONDING TO MULTIPLE ASPECT RATIOS
    Publication number: 20110246618
    Abstract: The present technology presents targeted content, such as a targeted application, in multiple different configurations to correspond to multiple display orientations. In one example, a primary application having a view reserved to present the targeted application is configured to be presented in either a landscape or a portrait presentation format depending on the orientation of the display. The primary application is further configured to switch from either the landscape or portrait presentation format to the other presentation format when the orientation of the display is changed. Accordingly, the targeted application can be downloaded in multiple configurations so that the configuration that is appropriate for the displayed presentation format of the primary application can be presented with the reserved view.
