Abstract:
A system for predictively caching digital content in which the system is configured to: (1) receive, from a user of a client device, a request to access at least one particular digital file stored on a remote server; (2) select at least one other digital file to cache locally on the client device based on at least one file-accessing tendency of the user; (3) download the at least one other digital file from the remote server to the client device; and (4) save the downloaded digital file to memory associated with the client device for later access by the user. A file-accessing tendency of the user may include the manner in which the user typically scrolls or otherwise cycles through images or other files. The system may determine the user's file-accessing tendencies based on, for example, the user's location, native language, past content-accessing practices, and/or specified user preferences.
