Referring to FIG. 1, system 10 according to various embodiments may be implemented by various types of devices. For example, system 10 may include electronic device 100 and server 110. The system 10 shown in Figure 1 shows only components relevant to this embodiment. Accordingly, those skilled in the art can understand that other general-purpose components may be included in addition to the components shown in FIG. 1.

Each of the electronic device 100 and server 110 may include a transceiver, storage, and processor. Additionally, the electronic device 100 and the server 110 each refer to a unit that processes at least one function or operation, and may be implemented through hardware, software, or a combination of hardware and software. Meanwhile, throughout the embodiment, each of the electronic device 100 and the server 110 is referred to as a separate device or server, but this may have a logically divided structure, and at least some of them are used for functions separated from one device or server. It can be implemented by:

According to one embodiment, the electronic device 100 and the server 110 may include a plurality of computer systems or computer software implemented as network servers. For example, at least some of the electronic device 100 and the server 110 are connected to lower level devices capable of communicating with other network servers through a computer network such as an intranet or the Internet to receive a request to perform a task and perform a task thereon. It can refer to computer systems and computer software that perform performance and provide performance results. In addition, at least some of the electronic device 100 and the server 110 can be understood as a broad concept that includes a series of application programs that can operate on a network server and various databases built inside or on other connected nodes. there is. For example, at least some of the electronic device 100 and the server 110 may run variously depending on the operating system such as DOS, Windows, Linux, UNIX, or MacOS. It can be implemented using the provided network server program.

The electronic device 100 and the server 110 may communicate with each other through a network (not shown). Networks include Local Area Network (LAN), Wide Area Network (WAN), Value Added Network (VAN), mobile radio communication network, satellite communication network, and combinations thereof. It is a data communication network in a comprehensive sense that allows each network constituent shown in FIG. 1 to communicate smoothly with each other, and may include wired Internet, wireless Internet, and mobile wireless communication networks. Wireless communications include, for example, wireless LAN (Wi-Fi), Bluetooth, Bluetooth low energy, ZigBee, WFD (Wi-Fi Direct), UWB (ultra wideband), and infrared communication (IrDA, infrared Data Association). ), NFC (Near Field Communication), etc., but are not limited thereto.

According to one embodiment, the electronic device 100 checks the target page, transmits a first request requesting data about the target page to the server 110, checks the identifier of the content included in the target page, Check whether there is valid cache data corresponding to the identifier, if there is valid cache data, provide a first page containing valid cache data, receive response data corresponding to the first request from the server 110, and A second page that updates the first page based on response data may be provided.

According to one embodiment, the electronic device 100 may check valid content having valid cache data among content included in a target page to be provided. The electronic device 100 may first provide a first page including valid cache data corresponding to valid content. That is, the electronic device 100 may minimize loading time by first providing the user with a first page containing valid cache data that is confirmed to be valid among the cache data stored in the electronic device 100. However, since the first page does not include data for all contents, the electronic device 100 needs to provide a second page including response data loaded from the server 110. Accordingly, the electronic device 100 receives response data corresponding to the first request and provides a second page that updates the first page based on the response data, thereby providing a complete page according to the user's request. there is. As the electronic device 100 continuously provides the first page and the second page updating the first page, it can minimize loading time, improve user experience, and effectively provide necessary information to the user. Specific examples of this will be discussed in detail below.

Referring to FIG. 2, in each operation of providing a page by an electronic device, some operations are changed or replaced, or some sequences between operations are changed within the range clearly understood by those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains. It can be clearly understood that it can be done.

In step S210, the electronic device 100 can check the target page.

According to one embodiment, the electronic device 100 may check the target page corresponding to the user's request. The electronic device 100 needs to quickly provide the target page to the user and minimize the loading time for providing the page. Here, the target page may be a page such as GW or SDP, but is not limited thereto.

In step S220, the electronic device 100 may transmit a first request requesting data for the target page to the server.

According to one embodiment, the electronic device 100 may transmit a first request requesting data corresponding to content included in the target page to the server 110. However, due to a communication problem between the electronic device 100 and the server 110 or an overload of the server 110, it takes time for the electronic device 100 to receive response data corresponding to the first request from the server 110. This may take some time. Accordingly, the electronic device 100 may first provide the first page including valid cache data among the cache data stored in the electronic device 100 in steps S230 to S250. 2 illustrates an embodiment in which cache data is stored in the electronic device 100, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and the cache data may be stored in a separate proxy server (not shown) for caching.

In step S230, the electronic device 100 may check the identifier of content included in the target page.

According to one embodiment, the electronic device 100 may check an identifier for distinguishing content included in the target page. As used herein, content may be used in a broad sense to refer to information displayed on a page, such as widgets, items, images, icons, text, and videos. More specifically, items included in the widget among the content may be referred to as sub-content included in the widget.

In step S240, the electronic device 100 may check whether there is valid cache data corresponding to the identifier.

According to one embodiment, the electronic device 100 may check valid content and corresponding valid cache data in response to an identifier for the content. More specifically, the electronic device 100 may check the first content in which cache data exists among the content included in the target page, based on information about the content. Here, the information about the content may include information about the presence or absence of cache data. Additionally, the electronic device 100 may check valid cache data based on information about the expiration of cache data for the first content for which cache data exists. In the present application, valid cache data may mean cache data that has not expired among cache data of the first content. Additionally, as used herein, valid content may mean content for which valid cache data is stored in the electronic device 100.

Information on the presence or absence of cache data may be determined based on characteristic information of the corresponding content. For example, content that changes frequently or needs to be provided in real time may be content for which there is no cache data corresponding to the electronic device 100. Conversely, content that does not change frequently or does not need to be provided in real time may have corresponding cache data stored in the electronic device 100. Similarly, information about expiration of cache data may be determined based on characteristic information of the corresponding content. For example, since the content for the image of the item does not require frequent changes, it may be content that has cache data with a long expiration period. Conversely, content about the price information of an item may change frequently depending on sale information and user information, and may be content that has cache data with a short expiration period.

In step S250, if there is valid cache data, the electronic device 100 may provide a first page including valid cache data.

According to one embodiment, the electronic device 100 may provide a first page including valid cache data corresponding to valid content among content included in the target page. Here, the first page is a page containing valid content among the contents, and information about the second content for which the cache data is not stored in the electronic device 100 and information about the third content for which the expiration period of the cache data has expired are missing. It can be characterized as a page that has been created. Additionally, the electronic device 100 may provide the first page in various ways depending on whether the display position on the target page of the content included in the target page is set. In this regard, a specific embodiment of providing the first page will be examined in detail in FIG. 9.

The electronic device 100 provided the first page to the user, but the first page contained information about the second content for which cache data was not stored in the electronic device 100 and information about the third content for which the cache data expiration period had expired. This page may be missing information. Accordingly, based on the response data, the electronic device 100 provides at least some of the information about the second content for which the cache data is not stored in the electronic device 100 and the information about the third content for which the expiration period of the cache data has expired. It is necessary to provide the user with a second page containing.

In step S260, the electronic device 100 may receive response data corresponding to the first request from the server.

According to one embodiment, the electronic device 100 may receive response data by transmitting a first request requesting data for the target page to the server 110. The first request for data for the target page may include requests for the valid content as well as the second and third content described above. Accordingly, the response data that the electronic device 100 receives from the server 110 may be load data for valid content, second content, and third content received from the server 110. Here, the data type of the response data may be JSON (JavaScript Object Notation).

Additionally, the response data that the electronic device 100 receives from the server 110 may be the latest version of data for each content. Therefore, it may be necessary to store some of the received response data as cache data for the corresponding content. Here, saving as cache data means 1) storing response data for content for which no cache data is stored as cache data for the content, or 2) storing response data for content for which cache data is stored, based on the previous version. This may include updating cache data to the latest version of cache data. In this regard, the electronic device 100 according to an embodiment may store at least part of the response data as cache data based on information about the cache setting of content included in the received response data. More specifically, if the information about cache settings includes information to store the corresponding response data as cache data, the electronic device 100 may store the response data as cache data. Additionally, if there is existing cache data, the response data received this time may be stored as an updated version of the cache data.

In step S270, the electronic device 100 may provide a second page that updates the first page based on the response data.

According to one embodiment, the electronic device 100 may provide a second page including some of the response data received from the server 110. Here, the second page may be characterized as including information about second content and third content that are content without valid cache data among the content included in the target page. In other words, the second page may refer to a page that includes information about content included in the target page and response data received from the server.

However, valid cache data included in the second page may also be updated based on the response data. Specifically, the electronic device 100 may provide a second page including at least some of the response data for the valid content based on cache setting information for the valid content included in the response data. Specific methods related to this will be examined in detail in FIGS. 7 and 8.

The target page 300 may be a page that the user wishes to receive through the electronic device 100. For example, referring to FIG. 3, the target page 300 may be a GW page. In addition, the target page 300 includes a first widget 301 that horizontally provides a plurality of contents such as discount information, a second widget 302 that provides an entry point to move to the page by category, and a plurality of advertisement-related It may include not only a third widget 303 that provides content, but also a fourth widget 304 that provides a list of products related to products viewed by the user based on the user's purchase history.

The page 330 may be a page loading information about the first widget 301, the second widget 302, the third widget 303, and the fourth widget 304 when cache data is not used. there is. If the duration of a loading image such as the page 330 becomes long due to communication problems between the electronic device 100 and the server 110, the user's bounce rate for the page 330 may significantly increase.

Accordingly, the electronic device 100 may first provide the page 360 containing valid cache data. Specifically, the electronic device 100 stores cache data corresponding to the first widget 301, the second widget 302, and the third widget 303 with valid cache data among the content included in the target page 300. A page 360 containing it can be provided. However, the fourth widget 304 may not be included in content with valid cache data. Accordingly, the electronic device 100 may provide the user with a second page, which is a complete page including response data corresponding to the fourth widget 340, based on the response data received from the server 110.

Referring to FIG. 4, the content 400 included in the target page is the second content 410, the second content 410, based on 1) whether the content has cache data, and 2) whether the expiration period of the cache data has expired. It can be divided into first content 420, third content 430, and valid content 440.

For example, the second content 410 may be content for which cache data does not exist among the content 400. More specifically, the second content 410 may be content for which cache data is not stored in the electronic device 100 among the content 400 . Additionally, the first content 420 may be content in which cache data exists among the content 400. More specifically, the first content 420 may be content whose cache data is stored in the electronic device 100 among the content 400 . According to one embodiment, the electronic device 100 may distinguish the first content 420 and the second content 410 based on information about the content. Here, the information about the content may include information about the presence or absence of cache data for each content.

For example, the third content 430 may be content whose cache data expiration period among the first content 420 has expired. The valid content 440 may be content whose cache data expiration period among the first content 420 has not expired. According to one embodiment, the electronic device 100 may distinguish the third content 430 and the valid content 440 based on information about the expiration of cache data. More specifically, the electronic device 100 checks the third content 430, which is content whose expiration period has expired, and the valid content 440, which is content whose expiration period has not expired, based on information about the cache-control header. You can. Here, information about the expiration of cache data may be information corresponding to Cache-Control: max-age=<Seconds> that can be used by the client in an HTTP request, but is not limited to this.

Additionally, information about the presence or absence of cache data and information about the expiration of cache data may be determined based on characteristic information of the corresponding content. For example, when content requires real-time change, cache data for the content may not exist or the expiration period of the cache data may be set to be short. Additionally, the characteristic information of the content may include information about the file size of the content. Image or video content that has a relatively large file size may take longer to load than text content. Accordingly, among content related to images or videos, content included in pages frequently used by users may be content for which cache data is stored in the electronic device 100 and the expiration period of the cache data is set to be long. Conversely, text content whose file size is relatively small can be loaded quickly from the server 110 even if separate cache data is not stored, so it may be content for which no cache data is stored.

Referring to FIG. 5, the target page of the present application may be a page where the location of some content included in the target page is fixed depending on the characteristics of the page. For example, a GW page or an SDP page may be a page in which the framework of some content included in the target page has been determined. More specifically, content located at the top of a GW page and displayed to the user without separate scrolling may be content whose display position on the GW page is fixed. Additionally, the SDP page is a detailed page for an item, and the image, title, price information, etc. for the item may be content whose location displayed on the SDP page is fixed. Figure 5 deals with an example in which the target page 500 is a GW page, but the target page is not limited to this.

Referring to FIG. 5, the target page 500 includes a first widget 510 that provides a plurality of contents about various discount information in a horizontal view, and a second widget 520 that provides an entry point that can move to pages for various categories. ) and a third widget 530 that provides a plurality of contents for banner advertisements. Here, the first widget 510 may be called a carousel view widget, and is not limited to a horizontal view, and may provide a plurality of contents in a vertical view. Widgets including the first widget 510, the second widget 520, and the third widget 530 may correspond to content displayed without separate scrolling on the GW page for policy reasons. At this time, content located in an area displayed without separate scrolling on the target page 500 including the first widget 510, the second widget 520, and the third widget 530 is confirmed to have valid cache data. It can be characterized. Accordingly, the electronic device 100 can quickly provide the first page based on valid cache data corresponding to content located at the top of the target page.

More specifically, content displayed without separate scrolling on the target page may be content that requires less change. Accordingly, content displayed without separate scrolling on the target page may be content whose cache data expiration period is equal to or greater than a set threshold. Additionally, the first widget 510, the second widget 520, and the third widget 530 may include at least one sub-content. For example, the first widget 510 may be a widget that includes sub-content about a plurality of discount information. However, since the sub-content for each discount information may have a different discount period, etc., a different content expiration period may be set in the cache data corresponding to the sub-content. For example, when the expiration period of the cache data for the sub-content called ‘Surprise Coupon 20,000 Won’ has expired, the electronic device 100 displays another sub-content corresponding to the second of the slide 511 as the first widget 510. The first page may be provided by determining the sub-content displayed first on the screen.

Afterwards, the electronic device 100 may need to provide a target page according to the user's request. In this regard, response data received according to the first request may be recycled as the latest version of cache data for content included in the target page. As the response data received this time is recycled as cache data for the content, the expiration period of the cache data for each content may be reset. More specifically, the electronic device 100 determines for each content whether to store the received response data in the electronic device 100 as the latest version of cache data, based on the cache setting information for each content stored in the response data. You can.

Content displayed without separate scrolling on the target page 500 is not limited to the first widget 510, the second widget 520, and the third widget 530. For example, a widget for item information that does not include frequently changing price information may be located in an area that is displayed without separate scrolling on the target page 500.

According to one embodiment, the electronic device 100 may provide a second page including at least a portion of response data for valid content based on cache setting information for valid content included in the response data. Additionally, the second page may include, in addition to valid content, response data corresponding to content for which cache data is not stored or content for which the cache data expiration period has expired.

Referring to FIG. 6, the target page 600 is a page provided according to a user's request, and is a page including first content, second content, third content, fourth content, fifth content, and sixth content. You can. Here, the first content, second content, third content, fourth content, fifth content, and sixth content may be content including an item list, but are not limited thereto. Additionally, the fourth content may be content that displays a plurality of sub-contents horizontally or vertically.

In this application, an expiration time may be set for content included in the target page 600. More specifically, sub-contents included in the content may also have different expiration times set. For example, referring to the cache data 620, the first sub-content of the first content, second content, third content, and fourth content may be content for which the expiration time of the corresponding cache data has not expired. Conversely, the second sub-content, fifth content, and sixth content of the fourth content may be content for which the expiration time of the corresponding cache data has expired or the cache data has not been stored.

Accordingly, the electronic device 100 provides a first page 610 including first sub-content of the first content, second content, third content, and fourth content, which is content for which the cache data expiration time has not expired. can do. The fourth content included in the first page 610 may not include the second sub-content of the fourth content.

According to one embodiment, the electronic device 100 may receive response data 630 corresponding to a first request requesting data for the target page. Referring to FIG. 6, the received response data 630 may be response data corresponding to first content, second content, third content, fourth content, fifth content, and sixth content received from the server. The received response data for the fourth content may include response data for the first sub-content of the fourth content and response data for the second sub-content of the fourth content.

According to one embodiment, the electronic device 100 may provide a second page 640 by adding at least a portion of the received response data 630 to the first page 610. For example, the electronic device 100 may provide the second page 640 by adding response data corresponding to the second sub-content, fifth content, and sixth content of the fourth content to the first page 610. You can. Accordingly, the fourth content may be included in the second page 640 as content that displays the first sub-content and the second sub-content in a carousel view.

Additionally, the received response data 630 may be the latest data corresponding to content, and the electronic device 100 may store at least a portion of the received response data 630 as cache data. For example, the electronic device 100 may store response data corresponding to the second sub-content and fifth content of the fourth content as cache data, based on cache setting information for the content. Accordingly, the expiration period of cache data corresponding to the second sub-content and fifth content of the fourth content may be reset. Conversely, the electronic device 100 may not store response data corresponding to the sixth content as cache data based on cache setting information for the content. More specifically, the sixth content may be content that does not store cache data.

In addition, based on the cache setting information for the content, the electronic device 100 generates response data corresponding to the first sub-content of the first content, second content, third content, and fourth content in which valid cache data is stored. Cache data can be updated using at least some of them. For example, the electronic device 100 may update previous cache data of the third content based on response data corresponding to the third content. At this time, the expiration period of cache data corresponding to the third content may be reset. However, the electronic device 100 may not separately update cache data corresponding to some content, such as the first content, based on caching setting information corresponding to the content. At this time, the first sub-content of the first content, second content, and fourth content may be content with a long change cycle in which the expiration period of the corresponding cache data is longer than a set threshold.

According to one embodiment, the electronic device 100 may check the cache type of the valid content based on cache setting information for the valid content. In addition, the electronic device 100 provides a method of processing cache data based on the received response data 730 depending on whether the cache type of the valid content is a first cache type, a second cache type, or a third cache type. You can decide differently. The target page 700, first page 710, and cache data 720 in FIG. 7 are similar to the target page 600, first page 610, and cache data 620 in FIG. 6, so detailed descriptions are omitted. I decided to do it.

Referring to FIG. 7, first content, second content, third content, and fourth content in which valid cache data is stored in the electronic device 100 may correspond to content with valid cache data. However, depending on the cache type of the first content, second content, third content, and fourth content, the process for processing response data may be different, and details related to this will be described below.

1) When the cache type is the first cache type (Replace)

According to one embodiment, the electronic device 100 may check the first valid content whose cache type is the first cache type, and change the cache data for the first valid content to first response data for the first valid content. Thus, a second page can be provided. For example, referring to FIG. 7, the cache type of the second content may be the first cache type, and the second content may be included in the first valid content. Accordingly, the electronic device 100 may change cache data (previous version of cache data) corresponding to the second content included in the first page 710 to response data corresponding to the second content. In addition, although not shown in FIG. 7, the electronic device 100 stores cache data of a previous version corresponding to the second content based on information about the cache setting included in the response data corresponding to the second content. It can be updated with response data corresponding to the content.

For example, the cache type for a general item may be set to the first cache type, but is not limited to this. Additionally, the electronic device 100 may highlight the parts where there is a difference between the previous version of the cache data and the received response data through an animation or the like and provide them on the second page 740 so that the user can check them. For example, when the price of a product is discounted from 10,000 won to 9,000 won, the electronic device 100 may provide a pop-up message saying 'Price has changed to 9,000 won' along with the second page 740.

2) When the cache type is the second cache type (Append)

According to one embodiment, the electronic device 100 may check the second valid content whose cache type is a second cache type and provide a second page by adding second response data for the second valid content. . For example, referring to FIG. 7 , the electronic device 100 may check the cache type for the fourth content based on cache setting information for the fourth content, which is valid content. More specifically, the operation of checking the cache type for the fourth content involves determining the cache type for the plurality of sub-contents based on cache setting information included in the response data corresponding to the plurality of sub-contents included in the fourth content. May include confirmation actions. For example, the electronic device 100 sets the cache type of the third sub-content among the sub-contents included in the fourth content to the second cache based on the cache data included in the response data corresponding to the fourth content, which is valid content. You can check by type. Accordingly, the electronic device 100 may provide the second page 740 by adding response data corresponding to the third sub-content to the first page 710.

Here, the third sub-content may be sub-content for content included in the target page 700. In addition, the fourth content including the third sub-content may be characterized as content that displays a plurality of sub-contents in a carousel view, and the third sub-content will be added after the first sub-content and the second sub-content. You can. When the type of sub-content included in the first page 710, such as the first sub-content, is the second cache type, the electronic device 100 stores the cache data corresponding to the first sub-content and the first cache type among the cache data 720. 1 All response data corresponding to sub-content can be displayed and provided on the first page 710. However, the cache data corresponding to the first sub-content may be replaced with response data corresponding to the first sub-content or deleted before being exposed through the carousel view widget.

In addition, although not shown in FIG. 7, the electronic device 100 sends response data corresponding to the third sub content to the third sub content based on information about cache settings included in the response data corresponding to the third sub content. It can also be stored as cache data for content.

Among the sub-contents included in the fourth content, the cache types of the first sub-content and the second sub-content excluding the third sub-content may be determined differently. For example, the cache type of the first sub-content and the second sub-content may be determined as the third cache type as shown in the example in FIG. 9. However, it is not limited to this, and when the cache type of the sub-content is not determined, the cache type of the sub-content may be determined to be the same as the cache type of the content including the sub-content. For example, if the cache types of the first sub-content and the second sub-content are not determined, and the cache type of the fourth content is the second cache type, the cache type of the first sub-content and the second sub-content is the second cache. It can be confirmed by type.

3) When the cache type is the third cache type (None)

According to one embodiment, the electronic device 100 may check the third valid content whose cache type is the third cache type, and check the third response data for the third valid content as new cache data of the third valid content. You can. More specifically, when the cache type is the third cache type (None), the electronic device 100 only confirms the third response data for the third valid content as new cache data of the third valid content, and Cache data of previous versions of content may be provided on the second page 740. For example, the cache type of the first sub-content and second sub-content included in the first content, third content, and fourth content is the third cache type, and the first content, third content, first sub-content, and The response data corresponding to the second sub-content may be stored in the electronic device 100 as a new version of cache data and may not be used to update the previous version of cache data included in the first page 710. Content whose cache type is a third cache type may be characterized as content that has a long content change cycle or whose size is greater than a set value.

For example, the cache type of content that does not change frequently, such as category widgets, may be set to a third cache type, but is not limited to this.

4) When the cache type is not set (default cache type).

However, the cache type may not be set for some of the valid content. At this time, the electronic device 100 may check the default cache type for valid content and process cache data and response data according to a process corresponding to the default cache type. For example, the default cache type may be the first cache type, but is not limited thereto.

According to one embodiment, the electronic device 100 may provide the first page by using at least some of the response data corresponding to the previous page provided before the target page as cache data. For example, when the target page is a detailed page provided through an entry point included in the previous page, the electronic device 100 may use at least some of the response data corresponding to the previous page as cache data.

Referring to the embodiment of FIG. 8, the previous page 800 is a GW page and may include widgets for recommended products for repurchase. At this time, the electronic device 100 uses the 'set of 8 erasers + 20 pencils' (hereinafter, the 'set of 8 erasers + 20 pencils' may refer to the target item) included in the widget. In response to the input, a detailed page for the target item, which is the target page, can be provided. Page 810 is a first page corresponding to a detailed page for the target item and may correspond to an SDP page.

According to one embodiment, the electronic device 100 may confirm at least some of the first response data corresponding to content included in the previous page 800 as valid cache data. For example, the electronic device 100 verifies the image, title, price information, rating information, etc. of the target item among the first response data included in the previous page 800 as valid cache data, and uses the confirmed valid cache data. A first page 810 including:

However, valid cache data included in the first page 810 may not necessarily be displayed on the previous page 800. For example, valid cache data may not be data about the content included in the previous page 800, but may be included in response data corresponding to the content included in the previous page 800. For example, the title for the target item included in the response data may include not only the title displayed on the GW page but also the title displayed on the SDP page. Additionally, the image for the target item included in the response data may include a plurality of images for the target item according to quality. For example, with respect to valid cache data included in the first page 810 for the SDP page, the title for the target item and the image for the target item used as cache data include a detailed title and a plurality of titles among a plurality of titles. Among the images, it may be a high-definition image.

According to one embodiment, the electronic device 100 may provide the first page in different ways depending on the type of target page. More specifically, the electronic device 100 may provide the first page in different ways depending on whether the target page is included in the first set page group or the second set page group. Referring to FIG. 9, the target page 900 may include first content, second content, third content, fourth content, and fifth content, and may include first content, second content, third content, and fifth content. Among the 4 content and the 5th content, the 2nd content and the 3rd content may be valid content for which cache data is stored in the electronic device 100. Additionally, the positions where the first content, second content, third content, fourth content, and fifth content are displayed on the target page 900 may be the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth positions, respectively. .

For example, if the target page 900 is included in the first set page group, the first page 910 may be a page in which valid cache data is displayed at a set position of valid content corresponding to the valid cache data.
