WIRELESSLY SYNCING CONTENT OF AN APPLICATION WITHOUT REQUIRING DEVICE TO BE PLUGGED INTO POWER SOURCE

摘要

A method, system and computer program product for wirelessly syncing content. An analytics engine in a mobile computing device gathers and stores information regarding battery usage for data synchronizations. Upon receiving an indication for content of an application to be synced with the device, the analytics engine determines an estimated amount of content to be synced as well as an estimated amount of battery usage for syncing the estimated amount of content based on the stored information. The content will be wirelessly synced with the device if there is sufficient battery life for syncing the content. If there is not enough battery life for wirelessly syncing the entire content, then a portion of the content will be synced. In this manner, the device does not need to be plugged into a power source and will only sync the amount of content that the device has power to do so.
