Abstract:
A method and system for predicting a next navigation event are described. Aspects of the disclosure minimize the delay between a navigation event and a network response by predicting the next navigation event. The system and method may then prerender content associated with the next navigation event. For example, the method and system may predict a likely next uniform resource locator during web browsing to preemptively request content from the network before the user selects the corresponding link on a web page. The methods describe a variety of manners of predicting the next navigation event, including examining individual and aggregate historical data, text entry prediction, and cursor input monitoring.
Abstract:
In some implementations, a request to switch to using a second network connection is received at a first computing device that is currently communicating with a second computing device over a first network connection. While still using the first network connection, the second network connection may be initiated. During a period of transition, the first computing device may communicate with the second computing device using both the first network connection and the second network connection. To use both the first and second network connections, data from the second computing device may be received over the first network connection, and data may be sent to the second computing device over the second network connection. The first computing device may identify an end of the period of transition. In response, the first computing device may communicate with the second computing device using only the second network connection.
Abstract:
According to some implementations, a method, system and computer program product for consistently delivering a web page having source code with a dynamic instruction is provided. The method begins with a copy of the source code being stored and analyzed to identify the dynamic instruction. A uniformity profile of the web page is generated based on the analyzing, the uniformity profile specifying a modification to a portion of the dynamic instruction to maintain consistent delivery of the web page. The portion of the dynamic instruction is modified based on the uniformity profile, and the first modified copy of the source code is delivered to a client. The portion of the dynamic instruction is modified based on the uniformity profile, resulting in a second modified dynamic instruction. Finally, a second modified copy of the source code is delivered to a client.
Abstract:
A method and system for improving access to network content are described. Aspects of the disclosure minimize the delay between a navigation event and a network response by prerendering the next navigation event. For example, the method and system may predict a likely next uniform resource locator during web browsing to preemptively request content from the network before the user selects the corresponding link on a web page. The methods and systems describe a variety of manners for prerendering content and managing and configuring prerendering operations.
Abstract:
A method including: receiving network performance parameters of a plurality of data networks, the network performance parameters being collected by individual client devices of a plurality of client devices; receiving location data indicating a geographic location of the individual client devices when the network performance parameters were collected, the received location data being associated with respective network performance parameters; selecting, from the received location data, a subset of the received location data associated with network performance parameters of a first data network of the plurality of data networks; calculating a geographic location of a first access point of the first data network based on at least one geographic location indicated by the subset of the received location data; and building a database entry indicating the calculated geographic location of the first access point

Abstract:
A computer-implemented method for preloading resources of a web page is provided. The method includes receiving a user request to navigate to a web page and issuing a request for a root page corresponding to the requested web page, wherein the root page identifies actual resources requested for loading the requested web page. The method also includes determining, based on a prior history of loading the requested web page, anticipated resources that are likely to be requested when loading the requested web page, and requesting the anticipated resources from a server associated with the anticipated resources at least until a time that the root page corresponding to the requested web page is received to determine the actual resources requested for loading the requested web page. Systems and machine-readable media are also provided.

Abstract:
A system and method for providing an overlay network is provided. The overlay network comprises a database of underlying wireless networks provided by various carriers. Location information, an associated time and wireless network performance parameters of a plurality of wireless networks are collected from a plurality of client devices. The system and method aggregates the performance parameters based on geographic area and a time window. The performance parameters are analyzed to determine a best performing wireless network within each geographic area during the time window. The best performing wireless network is then assigned as a default wireless network for the geographic area during the time window and stored in the database defining the overlay network. The database is then provided to the plurality of client devices to provide a default wireless network for the plurality of client device to attach to when in that geographic area during the time window.
