Directed application control of user device radio

摘要

Techniques described herein provide coupling an application to a radio of a user device to, for example, optimize media streaming services. Implementations include receiving, by a user device, first data of a file and second data of the file. The user device may present the first data of the file using an application implemented by the user device. In response to a determination that an amount of data in the second data is greater than a predetermined threshold, the user device may invoke a command associated with a radio of the user device by calling a radio API to place the radio into a dormant state. The radio API may be configured to couple the application to the radio.

1. A method for operating a user device, the method comprising:
receiving, by one or more processors, data of a file; presenting the data of the file using an application implemented by the user device; and in response to a determination that an amount of the data in the file is greater than a predetermined threshold, invoking, by the one or more processors, a command associated with a radio of the user device by calling a radio application programming interface (API) to place the radio into a dormant state, the radio API coupling the application to the radio.
