STORAGE OPTIMIZATION IN COMPUTING DEVICES

摘要

Disclosed are systems, methods, and machine-readable storage mediums for selectively performing storage optimization processes in a computing device. In at least some embodiments, a method includes monitoring access patterns in association with data of one or more files accessed by a user of the computing device, determining a classification of the computing device, and utilizing the user access patterns and the device classification in determining execution of a storage optimization process based on a storage optimization policy. The storage optimization policy can specify downsampling, lossy compression, lossless compression, or a combination thereof to be applied to the files based on thresholds associated with the user access patterns and/or the device classification. Utilization of the storage optimization policy can enable the computing device to have an infinite local storage capacity.

1. A computer-implemented method for optimizing storage capacity of a computing device of a user, the method comprising:
receiving, at a server coupled to the computing device, an indication of a request, from the computing device, to download a data file; determining, by the server, a device classification associated with the computing device and a user access pattern associated with the data file; performing, by the server, a downgrading of the data file based on the device classification and the user access pattern; and transmitting, by the server, the data file to the computing device in a downgraded format.
