International Classification:

G06F 9/44

US Classification:

719318

Abstract:

Mobile computing device power consumption can be reduced by using expiration window timers, state-based timers and/or the coordination of keep-alive timers. Upon detecting a trigger event causing a mobile computing device to transition from a low-power state to an active state, the device can determine whether the trigger event occurs within the expiration window of a timer, and execute tasks associated with the trigger event and the timer. Tasks associated with state-based timers can be executed if the mobile computing device or a component thereof is in (or, alternatively, not in) a specified state. A mobile computing device can execute tasks associated with multiple keep-alive timers used for maintaining communication links between the device and cloud-based service providers in a single active state. A cloud-based keep-alive service can maintain mobile computing device-service provider communication links by sending one keep-alive communication to a mobile computing device in place of multiple communications.

Abstract:

Mobile computing device power consumption can be reduced by using expiration window timers, state-based timers and/or the coordination of keep-alive timers. A mobile computing device can execute tasks associated with multiple keep-alive timers used for maintaining communication links between the device and cloud-based service providers in a single active state. A cloud-based keep-alive service can maintain mobile computing device-service provider communication links by sending one keep-alive communication to a mobile computing device in place of multiple communications. Upon receiving a response, the keep-alive surface can send a plurality of keep-alive communications to a plurality of cloud-based service providers.

International Classification:

H04W 52/02

US Classification:

370311

Abstract:

A method of coordinating tasks of a mobile computing device may include initializing a timer associated with one or more tasks and a state condition. The state condition may depend on a device state of the mobile computing device and/or a component state of a mobile computing device component. An expiration of the timer is detected. Upon detecting the expiration, a determination is made whether the state condition is satisfied based on whether the mobile computing device is in the device state and/or the mobile computing device component is in the component state. Based at least in part on the determination that the state condition is satisfied, performance of the one or more tasks associated with the timer can be initiated.

US Classification:

709203

Abstract:

Embodiments of the present invention allow applications developers to change user experiences within an application without updating the application by relying on remote interface templates to create user experiences. The application code includes entry points to various remote interface templates stored on a remote device. The remote interface templates are consumed by the application to render content blocks that are all, or part of, the application's interface. The remote interface templates may be changed seamlessly at the remote device allowing the user to enjoy the updated interface without interruption the next time the application is opened.
