LIMITING CLIENT SIDE DATA STORAGE BASED UPON CLIENT GEO-LOCATION

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for limiting client side data storage based upon client geolocation. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for the differentiated treatment of data at rest in a mobile device includes receiving in a cache manager a request to cache data in a cache of a mobile device. Also, a geolocation for the mobile device is retrieved contemporaneous with the receipt of the request. Thereafter, it is determined from the geolocation whether or not the mobile device is present within a restricted geographic zone. Finally, in response to determining that the mobile device is present within a restricted geographic zone, the cache manager is directed to cache the data in a cache in the mobile device. But, otherwise the cache manager is directed to cache the data in a cache disposed in the computer communications network.

1. A method for the differentiated treatment of data at rest in a mobile device, the method comprising:
receiving data in memory of a mobile device from over a computer communications network; retrieving a geolocation for the mobile device contemporaneous with the receipt of the data; determining from the geolocation whether or not the mobile device is present within a restricted geographic zone; and, responsive to determining that the mobile device is present within a restricted geographic zone, caching the received data in a cache in the mobile device, but otherwise caching the received data in a cache disposed in the computer communications network.
