Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
This document describes techniques for pre-rendering new content for an application-selectable user interface. These techniques permit a user to select to view application-selectable tiles of the interface and, on selection, quickly see new content through the tiles in the selected portion. In some embodiments, the techniques pre-render content for a portion of a non-visible region of the interface rather than all of the non-visible region to reduce resource costs, such as processor and memory usage on a device and communication bandwidth usage on a communication network.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A computer-implemented method comprising: determining, for an interface having a visible region in which visible, selectable tiles associated with applications are presented, the visible, selectable tiles associated with at least two different applications, and a non-visible region in which tiles associated with applications are not currently presented, a pre-render portion of the non-visible region; and pre-rendering new content for tiles in the pre-rende…
