Scheduling data pushes to a mobile device based on usage and applications thereof

摘要

Embodiments relate to pushing data to mobile devices more efficiently. In a first embodiment, a computer-implemented method receives pushed data on a mobile device. The method includes: (a) recording, at a memory of the mobile device, information describing activity occurring on the mobile device during a first time period; (b) sending, from the mobile device to a server, data indicating the first time period and activity data indicating whether the mobile device was active during the first time period; and (c) during a second time period occurring after the recording (a) and sending (b), receiving application data pushed to the mobile device at a first rate determined based at least in part on the activity data sent to the server in (b), wherein the second time period is determined by the server based at least in part on the data indicating the first time period.

1. A method comprising:
receiving, by a mobile device and during a first time period, first application data at a first frequency, wherein the mobile device is inactive during the first time period; receiving, by the mobile device and during a second time period, second application data at a second frequency greater than the first frequency, wherein the mobile device is active during the second time period; sending, by a mobile device to a server, an indication of whether the mobile device was active during the first time period and during the second time period different from the first time period; and receiving, by the mobile device, third application data, wherein:
the third application data is received according to a schedule determined based at least in part on whether the mobile device was active during the first time period or the second time period,the schedule specifies a respective frequency at which data is pushed to the mobile device during each of a plurality of future time periods, andthe third application data is not received in response to the mobile device sending a request for the application data.
