Filed:

Nov 3, 2006

Appl. No.:

11/556639

Inventors:

Thamer A. Abanami - Seattle WA, US
Craig Lichtenstein - Redmond WA, US
Jeremy Robinson - Seattle WA, US
Megan Lesley Tedesco - Sammamish WA, US
Mark D. Zuber - Duvall WA, US

International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709223

Abstract:

Media devices that transfer content to other devices may man age a user's received media files by creating a media device inbox. Shared content may be stored in an inbox cache that is separate from the device's main content library to exclude limited-access inbox content from interaction with the device's main library. Further, inbox content may be altered upon expiration to reduce resource consumption and inbox clutter.

International Classification:

G06F 9/50

Abstract:

An example system for managing memory usage includes memory and a processor configured to publish a soft memory target for each of a plurality of applications, wherein the soft memory target is to be statically predetermined based at least on a detected state of execution of each application and a size of the memory of the system. The processor is to also detect that an application exceeds the soft memory target. Additionally, the processor is to detect that a total memory usage of the system exceeds a threshold amount. The processor is to further terminate the application based at least in part on the detected soft memory target being exceeded and in response to detecting that the total memory usage of the system exceeds the threshold amount.

International Classification:

H04L 12/911
G06F 9/50
G06F 17/30

Abstract:

Resources used by a foreground process associated with an application as well as one or more background tasks associated with the application that are running as separate processes on the computing device are tracked. Historical data relating to resource usage by the application is utilized to predict a resource usage amount for the application which is then stored. A subsequent launch of the application can be conditioned upon whether the predicted resource usage amount is available. If the predicted resource usage amount is available, it can be allocated to the application and the application can be launched. If the application then exceeds the predicted resource usage amount, other processes executing concurrently therewith may be terminated to free up the resource. Regardless of how the application performs, new resource usage data is obtained for the application, which is then used to adjust the predicted resource usage amount.

International Classification:

G06F 9/50
G06F 9/54

Abstract:

Techniques are described that enable an application executing on a computing device to dynamically control how an allocated portion of a resource of the computing device is to be divided among multiple processes associated with the application. For example, an application executing on the computing device may interact with an operating system of the computing device to dynamically control how an allocated portion of a resource of the computing device is to be divided among a foreground process associated with the application and one or more background processes associated with the application.
