Title: Making requests on behalf of a mobile device based on atomic processes for mobile network traffic conservation
Inventor: LUNA MICHAEL
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2012-04-26
Abstract: A system and method for making requests on behalf of a mobile device 150 based on atomic processes for mobile network 106 traffic relief are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method for simulating traffic requests from a mobile device, which can be implemented on a system includes predicting that a request is to be made by the mobile device, in advance of the request being sent to a destination 110, 120 by the mobile device and making the request, at an entity 125 separate from the mobile device, on behalf of the mobile device to the destination. The entity can simulate the request based on a reproducible/repeatable traffic pattern of outgoing requests by an application on the mobile device. The separate entity may be a proxy server 125 for the mobile device. The arrangement may save battery power for the mobile device e.g. in avoiding repeated polling requests from the same application (i.e. a polling schedule) being performed by the mobile device, which are instead off-loaded and performed by the proxy server on behalf of the mobile device. Such an arrangement may also conserve mobile network 106 resources with a reduced number of requests/polls over the mobile part of the network. Triggering events may be used and the traffic pattern may be identified by timing (e.g. periodic timing) of requests or destination addresses originating from the same application on the mobile device. The proxy arrangement may be distributed with a local proxy 175 at the mobile device as well as a proxy server 125 at a host server 100. In the arrangement described the proxy server may be delegated responsibility to determine when content has changed and the mobile device need only wake up when content is indicated to have changed and instead uses a local cached copy of the content. In association with caching based aspects a freshness value may also be utilized.
