Centralized dispatching of application analytics

摘要

A method may include, in a computing device comprising at least one processor and a memory, generating at least one information beacon from each of a plurality of applications installed on the computing device. Each information beacon may include application analytics data associated with a corresponding application while the corresponding application is running on the computing device. The at least one information beacon from each of the plurality of applications may be stored in a common location in the computing device. The stored at least one information beacon may be dispatched from each of the plurality of applications to a network device communicatively coupled to the computing device. The generating may be triggered by beacon generation code implemented in each of the plurality of applications installed on the computing device.

1. A method, comprising:
in a mobile computing device comprising at least one processor and a memory, generating, by a first application, a first information beacon that provides application analytics data describing use of the first application installed on the mobile computing device while the first application is running on the mobile computing device; generating, concurrently with the first information beacon and by a second application that is running concurrently with the first application, a second information beacon that provides application analytics data describing use of the second application running on the mobile computing device while the first application is running on the mobile computing device; collecting the first information beacon and second information beacon according to a beacon collection policy that stores the first information beacon and second information beacon in a common location in the mobile computing device; and dispatching the stored first information beacon and the second information beacon, according to a beacon dispatch policy maintained by the mobile computing device, to a network device communicatively coupled to the mobile computing device in a single transmission.
