Patent ID: 8316098

Claim:
A method for leveraging a virtual memory network to conserve wireless network resources, the method, comprising: creating the virtual memory network from physical resources of multiple mobile devices; wherein, content for one mobile device of the multiple mobile devices is stored in a portion of the virtual memory network; wherein, the portion of the virtual memory network need not correspond to the physical resources contributed by the one mobile device to the virtual memory network; synchronizing polls directed towards the common application server by sending a single polling event to the common application server; wherein, the polls that are synchronized in the single polling event are from the multiple mobile devices in the virtual memory network; storing a response received in response to the single polling event, in the virtual memory network for access by the multiple devices; wherein, the response is stored in the virtual memory network to satisfy subsequent requests directed to the common application server from any of the multiple mobile devices; monitoring the common application server, by a remote proxy, to determine when the response is no longer valid; wherein, the response is removed from the virtual memory network when the response is no longer valid.
