System And Method For Increasing Data Availability On A Mobile Device Based On Operating Mode

摘要

A system for a mobile device to provide access to a data collection, such as a user's data collection for example, without requiring either persistent storage of the complete data collection locally on the mobile device, or network access requests for each user data request from the mobile device. In an embodiment, the system employs a data probability function to predict the probability of the mobile device accessing specific types of user data based on the operating mode of the mobile device. The system executes as a background process to provide and store locally on the mobile device, the data most probable to be accessed at the mobile device. The data most likely to be accessed via the mobile device is available locally, thereby minimizing latency issues that occur when data requests cannot be fulfilled using data stored locally in the mobile device and network requests are performed.

主权项

1. A system for increasing availability of a data collection, the system comprising components including:
a hardware server having a first processor and comprising:
a communication network interface; anda data aggregator operably executed by the first processor, the data aggregator associated with the communication network interface and adapted to:
accept a communication session with a mobile device;receive an operating mode message comprising operating mode information for the mobile device;determine a subset of data among the data collection that is likely to be accessed at the mobile device based on the operating mode information; andsend the subset of data to the mobile device; and the mobile device having a second processor and comprising:
a data cache for storing the subset of data from a data collection;a communication interface adapted to establish communication with the data aggregator having access to the data collection; anda control system operably executed by the second processor, the control system adapted to:
determine an operating mode of the mobile device;send the operating mode message including the operating mode information of the mobile device to the data aggregatorreceive the subset of data from the data aggregator that is likely to be accessed at the mobile device based on the operating mode information of the mobile device; andstore the subset of data in the data cache.
