Latest Patents
One of Doug Crow's latest patents is titled "Shared Cache Parsing and Pre-Fetch." This invention provides a method and system for reducing latency in reviewing and presenting web documents to users. A cache is coupled to one or more web clients, which request web documents from web servers on behalf of those clients. The cache communicates these web documents to the clients for display. It parses the web documents as they are received, identifies references to embedded objects, and determines if those objects are already maintained in the cache. If not, the cache automatically pre-fetches them from the web server without requiring a command from the web client. The cache maintains a two-level memory system, including primary memory and secondary mass storage. Upon receiving a web document, the cache checks if any embedded objects are in the cache but not in primary memory. If they are not, the cache pre-loads them from secondary mass storage to primary memory without a request from the web client. Additionally, web documents in the cache are periodically refreshed to ensure they remain current. This invention is applicable to both original requests and refresh requests for web documents and their embedded objects.
