SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING OFFLINE ACCESS TO CONTENT AVAILABLE OVER THE WEB

1 . A computerized method for providing offline access to content accessible over a network, comprising:

identifying a grant of access to at least one data source respective of the network, wherein the access is granted to a client node;

identifying a data element of one of the at least one data source;

determining if the data element is suitable for offline viewing; and

upon determining that the data element is suitable to be viewed offline, storing the data element in a storage unit that is accessible to the client node while operating offline.

2 . The computerized method of claim 1 , wherein the network is any of: a wireless network, a cellular network, a wired network, a local area network (LAN), a wide area network (WAN), a metro area network (MAN), the Internet, the worldwide web (WWW), and a combination thereof.

3 . The computerized method of claim 1 , wherein the client node is any of:

a tablet computer, a laptop computer, a smart phone, and a personal computer.

4 . The computerized method of claim 1 , further comprising:

identifying a reconnection to the network;

matching the suitable data element that is stored in the storage unit to a data element that exists over the web; and

upon identifying a change in the data element that exists over the web, generating a notification.

5 . The computerized method of claim 1 , wherein determining if the data element is suitable for offline viewing further comprises:

determining a parameter respective of the data element;

comparing the determined parameter to a threshold parameter; and

based on the comparison results determining if the data element is suitable for offline viewing.

6 . The computerized method of claim 1 , wherein the parameter is at least one of: a time pointer, a size of the data element, and a user behavior.

7 . A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions for causing one or more processing units to execute the method according to claim 1 .

8 . A system for providing offline access to content accessible over a network, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory, the memory containing instructions that, when executed by the processor, configure the system to:

identify a grant of access to at least one data source respective of the network, wherein the access is granted to a client node;

identify a data element of one of the at least one data source that has been viewed;

determine if the data element is suitable to be viewed offline; and

upon determining that the data element is suitable to be viewed offline, store the suitable data element in a storage unit that is accessible to the client node while operating offline.

9 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the network is any of: a wireless network, a cellular network, a wired network, a local area network (LAN), a wide area network (WAN), a metro area network (MAN), the Internet, the worldwide web (WWW), and a combination thereof.

10 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the system is further configured to:

identify a reconnection to the network;

match the suitable data element that is stored in the storage unit to a data element that exists over the web; and

upon identifying a change in the data element that exists over the web, generate a notification.

11 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the system is further configured to:

determine a parameter respective of the data element;

compare the determined parameter to a threshold parameter; and based on the comparison results determining if the data element is suitable for offline viewing.

12 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the determined parameter is at least one of: a time pointer, a size of the data element, and a user behavior.
