US Patent 11483415 Background pre-rendering of user applications

A user device includes a display screen and one or more processors. The display screen is configured to display content to a user. The one or more processors are configured to pre-load a user application by running at least part of a program code of the user application in a background, including enabling the program code of the user application to pre-render a visual display of the user application in the background, and, in response to the user accessing the user application, to transfer the pre-rendered visual display to a foreground, thereby displaying the visual display to the user on the display screen.
