In some implementations, caching techniques may be employed by a web server that receives various requests from remotely-located client devices, retrieves requested results from an on-site database server, and transmits the results back to the client devices. These caching techniques generally relate to caching retrieved results at the web server such that the web server may be able to directly provide client devices with results without having to retrieve them from the database server every time a request is received. Application of these techniques may improve response times and provide back-end bandwidth savings.

Caching techniques

In some implementations, methods for selecting a set of beacons that are to be monitored by a mobile device may be employed. Specifically, an optimal set of beacons to monitor may be provided to a mobile device depending on particular groups of beacons that are in proximity to the mobile device, the distance from the mobile device to each of the particular groups of beacons, and the mobile device's position/movements as provided by a tracking service such as GPS. These techniques may ensure that the mobile device is not blind to the closest and/or most relevant beacons.

Micro-location monitoring techniques

In some implementations, a system is capable of dynamically associating content streams to improve a user's viewing experience while accessing primary content. To accomplish this, the CMS uses content association data assigning secondary content items to the primary content. Secondary content items can be assigned to designated frames of the primary content so that the secondary content items are presented to user at specified time points during the playback of the primary content. Secondary content items can represent content that is related to the subject matter of the primary content, or content that a user may be interested in accessing while viewing the primary content.

Time-based content synchronization

In some implementations, a system is capable of intelligently generating customized multimedia content streams that are distributed to different groups of users. The system generates the customized content streams such that the initial and terminating portions of the streams are shared between each of the content streams. The system adjusts the intermediate portions of the streams to, for example, the viewing preferences of each user group using alternate forms of content. In this regard, the customized content streams that have both customized portions and shared portions to provide a standardized yet adaptive viewing experience for all users.

Customized content streaming techniques

In some implementations, a system is capable of dynamically adjusting the configuration of an application without requiring an entire application-wide update. For instance, the system can perform a dynamic application to vary the content provided for output on the application, the arrangement of content within a user interface of the application, techniques by which a user interacts with or accesses the content on the user interface, among others. In some instances, the system can process the dynamic updates while the application is running as an active process on a client device, or while the user is presently using the application. In addition, the system can execute the dynamic updates in manner to minimally disrupt user experiences associated with the application.

Native application development techniques

Methods, systems, and apparatus relate to technologies generally relating to the placement of hyperlinks within the body of text of a document. The placement of hyperlinks can be on specified words or phrases, according to a specified link distribution function across the body of the text content of a document. Some techniques involve a method for determining a placement of links on a document that involves selecting a document comprising words of text for placing links in the document, selecting a link distribution function, and using the link distribution function in determining locations for the placement of the links in the document. The placement of hyperlinks in the document may be automatically performed on a server side.
