Mobile application traffic optimization

摘要

A system with distributed proxy for reducing traffic to satisfy data requests made in a wireless network is provided. The system includes a mobile device having a local proxy for intercepting a data request made via the mobile device and a proxy server coupled to the mobile device and a content server to which the data request is directed. The proxy server is able to communicate with the local proxy and the local proxy forwards the data request to the proxy server for transmission to the content server for a response to the data request. The proxy server sends the data request to the content server independent of activities on the local proxy and notifies the local proxy when different content on the content server is detected for the data request

1. A mobile device comprising:
a memory; a radio; and a processor, the mobile device is configured for:
determining a predicted launch time of a first application executing in a background of the mobile device, wherein the predicted launch time is based on historical activity related to the first application, wherein the historical activity is related to a time of day when a user has accessed the first application; andestablishing a connection with a server based on the predicted launch time, wherein the connection is established while the first application is executing in the background of the mobile device;wherein data is fetched for the first application over the connection while the application remains executing in the background before the predicted launch time, wherein the data is provided by a server in communication with the mobile device.
