Abstract
A method of operating a geo-fence pre-caching system that includes a cache server and caches is provided. The method includes receiving from a user device and at a cache server a query wrapper including a cache identifier and a location of the user device. The cache server is implemented in a cloud-based network. The method includes selecting a cache based on the cache identifier. The method includes mapping the location to a first geographical area and accessing a cache entry of a cache record based on the first geographical area. The cache entry indicates the first geographical area. The method includes, based on content of the cache entry, accessing cache entries corresponding to geographical areas adjacent to the first geographical area. The content of the cache entry links to the cache entries. The method includes retrieving and formatting content included in the cache entries for presentation at the user device.
