A client device may send a first request and then receive, in response to sending the first request, a first response and a first fingerprint tree corresponding to the first response. Next, the client device may cache the first response and the first fingerprint tree corresponding to the first response. Then the client device may send a second request and the first fingerprint tree and then receive, in response to sending the second request and the first fingerprint tree, a final second response and a final second fingerprint tree. The final second fingerprint tree may comprise a difference between the first fingerprint tree and an initial second fingerprint tree and the final second response may comprise a difference between the first response and an initial second response. The client device may update the cached first response with the final second response and the cached first fingerprint tree with the final second fingerprint tree.

Managing metadata in cloud driven, thin client video applications

An electronic program guide executing in a set top box provides real-time guide EIT information to users for periods beyond the six hours of conventional systems. Each transport providing information to the set top box contains a predetermined number of hours of full EIT data and a predetermined number of days of sparse EIT data. The sparse EIT data allows users to see information for programming in real time days into the future without having to tune to a different transport.
