Title:
移動ユーザプロフィールに基づくコンテンツのプレフェッチ
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2008543249
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
A system and method are directed towards prefetching content for a mobile terminal based on characteristics of, and tracked usage of the mobile terminal to request content through an online portal service, which provides access to content in multiple subject areas. A mobile user profile is created from the characteristics and patterns of the tracked usage. The tracked usage information includes the time, location, frequency at which the content was requested. Based on the mobile user profile information, content similar to previously requested content is prefetched and cached in anticipation of the mobile terminal making a similar request. Prefetching may also occur based on a trigger event such as the mobile terminal returning to a location from which certain content was previously requested. Prefetching may further be based on a related general user profile that indicates usage of an alternate electronic device to access content through the portal.
