Abstract

Claims (88)

1 . A computer-implemented method for low-latency incremental display of a document at a client device, the method comprising:

generating, by one or more processors of the client device, a user interface that includes a primary viewport for displaying portions of the document and a secondary view port for navigating within the document;

detecting, by the one or more processors, a first event indicating that initial portions of the document are to be cached for viewing via the primary viewport, wherein the first event is generated in response to an output of a search query or a learning algorithm and is not generated by user input selecting a document displayed in a selection interface;

in response to detecting the first event, generating a document fragment model for the initial portions of the document, wherein:

the initial portions are defined by metadata associated with the document,

the initial portions include a first portion that is cached for display by the client device upon the primary viewport being configured to display the document by a viewing event and one or more second portions that are not displayed when the primary viewport is initially configured to display the document, and

the initial portions include less than all portions of the document;

in response to detecting the viewing event for the document, displaying, in the primary viewport, the first portion of the document fragment model;

detecting, via the user interface, a second event including an indication of the one or more second portions of the document;

detecting, by the one or more processors, a navigation event in the secondary view port related to one or more third portions of the document not included in the initial portion of the document;

transmitting, by the one or more processors, an incremental data request including an indication of the one or more third portions of the document in response to the navigation event;

receiving an incremental data response including the one or more third portions of the document;

generating, in response to receiving the incremental data response, a document fragment model for the third portions of the of the document; and

deleting, by the one or more processors, the document fragment model for the second portions of the document in response to the one or more processors determining that a portion of the document displayed via the primary viewport is at least a threshold distance from the second portions of the document.

the document is associated with metadata indicating a region of the document is associated with at least one of highlighting, redactions, or annotations; and

generating the document fragment model for a particular portion of the document comprises generating the document fragment model in accordance with the metadata.

9 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein displaying the one or more third portions of the document in the primary viewport occurs within 1 second of the receiving of a third event including an indication of the one or more third portions of the document.

10 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

in response to detecting the first event, generating a document fragment model for initial portions of a second document, the initial portions including a first portion that is displayed upon the primary viewport being configured to display the second document and one or more second portions that are not displayed when the primary viewport is initially configured to display the second document

detecting, by the one or more processors, a third event indicating that the second document is to be viewed via the primary viewport; and

in response to detecting the third event, maintaining, by the one or more processors, the document fragment model for the initial portions of the document while deleting the document fragment model for any other portions of the document.

11 . A system for low-latency incremental display of a document at a client device, the system comprising:

one or more processors; and
