    摘要: A method for content delivery includes selecting one or more time intervals. During each time interval among the selected time intervals, given content is prefetched from a content source to a communication terminal using a guaranteed prefetching mode, by continuously tracking the given content on the content source, so as to detect changes to the given content as they occur during the selected time interval, and maintaining the communication terminal continuously synchronized with the content source with respect to the given content, throughout the selected time interval, notwithstanding the changes that occur during the selected time interval, by continuously prefetching at least part of the given content from the content source to the communication terminal. Outside of the one or more selected time intervals, the given content is prefetched using a best-effort prefetching mode, by tracking the given content less frequently than the guaranteed prefetching mode.

    摘要: A user device (24) includes a display (56), audio circuitry (58) and a processor (44). The processor is configured to run an application that includes visual content and audio content, by: (i) before a user of the user device invokes the application, running the application in a background mode in which the visual content is not visible on the display, and inhibiting the audio content from being played by the audio circuitry, and (ii) after the user invokes the application, switching to run the application in a foreground mode in which the visual content is visible on the display, and permitting the audio content to be played by the audio circuitry.

    摘要: A user device (28) includes an interface and a processor (42). The interface is configured for communicating over a communication network (36, 40) with an electronic-commerce (“e-commerce”) server (24). The processor is configured to run within the user device a local instance (44) of the e-commerce server, wherein the local instance (i) stores locally in the user device at least part of data available to the e-commerce server, and (ii) carries out locally in the user device at least part of a business logic of the e-commerce server, to run an e-commerce agent (46), which conducts e-commerce transactions by interacting over the communication network with the e-commerce server, and locally with the local instance of the e-commerce server.
