Abstract

See full text

A system and method for reducing browser latency in customized web page production through caching in one or more client-stored tokens a compressed representation of a core set of user information preferences. Compression can be achieved in part by using bit flags to represent preference elections, where default preferences can be omitted to reduce token size. Multiple compressible regions may also be incorporated into a token so that mutually exclusive preferences can be stored in different regions, increasing the likelihood of compressed regions. To further reduce token size, multiple bit flags can be treated as defining a single character within the token. Thus, preferences may include stock selections, weather, news, sports, or other interests, where each preference is assigned a bit position in a series, and the series then interpreted as one or more characters.
