DISTRIBUTED CACHING SYSTEMS WITH CONFIGURABLE EXTENDED CACHING OPTIMIZATION

摘要

Methods and systems for distributed caching of information using extended caching optimization are provided. According to one aspect, a method for distributed caching of information using extended caching optimization includes, at a mobile device for operating in a wireless network, monitoring requests issued from an application located within the device to an external entity not located within the device; storing, in a local cache, responses to the monitored requests received from the external entity; and, in response to identifying a request as one that meets a first criterion for optimization, applying an extended caching optimization, including preventing the identified request from being transmitted to the external entity and providing a response to the identified request from the local cache.

1. A method for distributed caching of information using extended caching optimization, the method comprising:
at a mobile device for operating in a wireless network, the device including a local proxy for monitoring requests issued from an application located within the device to an external entity not located within the device and for storing, in a local cache, responses to the monitored requests received from the external entity:
identifying a request as one that meets a first criterion for optimization, the first criterion for optimization including a determination that the request occurred while the mobile device is in a target state; andin response to identifying the request as one that meets a first criterion for optimization, applying an extended caching optimization, wherein applying an extended caching optimization includes:
preventing the identified request from being transmitted to the external entity; andproviding a response to the identified request from the local cache.
