Patent number: 10353993Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a request for a web page; sending a first response portion for generating the requested web page to a client computing device that includes a structured document place-holder code segments and executable code for implementing a page-assembling process; generating second response portions each for generating a corresponding portion of the requested web page that each include a call to a function of the page-assembling process; determining relative priorities of the second response portions; sending the second response portions to the client computing device in an order based on the determined relative priorities; and wherein the page-assembling process is configured to insert, or cause to be inserted, at a location determined by a corresponding one of the place-holder code segments, the second portions of content into a model representation of the structured document generated by a client rendering application.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2016Date of Patent: July 16, 2019Assignee: Facebook, Inc.Inventors: Zixiao Zhang, Changhao Jiang

Patent number: 9667807Abstract: Techniques for dynamic zero-rated server clusters are described. Some embodiments are particularly directed to techniques for delivering zero-rated content packages in which different client devices with different zero-rated content packages may receive their appropriate zero-rated content using a shared cluster of zero-rated servers. In one embodiment, for example, an apparatus may comprise a network access component operative to receive a user request at a network service from a client device via a data network, wherein the network service is rate-adjusted for the client device with the data network; and respond to the user request; and a rate-adjustment management component operative to access a rate-adjustment wallet for a user account for the user request; and configure the network access component to respond to the user request based on the rate-adjustment wallet. Other embodiments are described and claimed.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2015Date of Patent: May 30, 2017Assignee: FACEBOOK, INC.Inventors: Filippo Pacifici, Zixiao Zhang, Timothy Irish Bauman, Breno Pompeu Roberto
