Patent ID: 7882092

Claim:
A computer-implemented method for hoarding content on a requesting mobile electronic computing entity comprising: computing, by a computing device, power parameters on said requesting mobile electronic computing entity, said power parameters comprising: available power on said requesting mobile electronic computing device; and energy consumption required to hoard files onto a local cache on said requesting mobile electronic computing device; computing, by said computing device, communication parameters on said requesting mobile electronic computing entity, said communication parameters comprising: available network bandwidth; received and transmitted signal strength; and signal strength of a communication network; computing, by said computing device, a hoarding schedule for a content set at the requesting mobile electronic computing entity based on said computed power parameters and said communication parameters; managing, by said computing device, power consumption and network bandwidth during a hoarding process based on said computed hoarding schedule; receiving the content set at the requesting mobile electronic computing entity based on said computed hoarding schedule; and hoarding, by said computing device, the received content set on said local cache of the requesting mobile electronic computing entity.
