Abstract:
This disclosure sets forth techniques that aggregate and analyze data usage of a client device over a communications network. Particularly, data usage may be quantified over a predetermined time interval and used to provide recommendations that instruct a client on techniques for reducing a data usage rate. Recommendations may be presented as visual and/or audible alerts. This disclosure further describes techniques to dynamically alter data usage characteristics of particular data usage events to reduce a current rate of data usage. Computational instructions may dynamically reduce a file size of a multimedia/data file, limit a capability to download a multimedia/data file, or reduce a data usage rate of a multimedia stream via trans-rating or pacing techniques. Additionally, exemplary user interfaces may facilitate customizing data usage monitoring settings. The exemplary user interfaces may enable a client to customize a graphical representation of data usage over a predetermined period of time.

Claim (Index 1):
A data usage analysis system, comprising:\n one or more processors: memory coupled to the one or more processors, the memory including one or more components that are executable by the one or more processors to:\n receive, a first data packet that includes data usage metadata associated with a client device, the data usage metadata corresponding to real-time monitored instances of one or more user applications executed by the client device; \n parse through the data usage metadata to identify a current data usage event that is being executed on the client device, the current data usage event corresponding to an instance of a multimedia stream, or a download of a multimedia file or a data file; \n determine a data usage rate for the current data usage event, based at least in part on the data usage metadata; \n in response to determining that the data usage rate is greater than a predetermined data usage threshold, analyze the current data usage event to identify one or more data usage characteristics; \n select one of a transcoding technique, a trans-rating technique, or a pacing technique to reduce the data usage rate of the current data usage event to a reduced data usage rate that is less than or equal to the predetermined data usage threshold, based at least in part on the one or more data usage characteristics; and \n transmit, to the client device, a second data packet that includes a set of computer-executable instructions that dynamically reduce the data usage rate of the current data usage event, based at least in part on a selection of one of the transcoding technique, the trans-rating technique, or the pacing technique.
