A mobile device and method for management of communication from a mobile device capable of multi-tasking. The method includes capturing a request from at least one application executed on the mobile device for data communication through a network interface of the mobile device; identifying the at least one application by interrogation of an operating system of the mobile device; determining for the identified one application data communication access rights; and autonomously communicating through the network interface for the at least one application and independently communicating with the at least one application without interfering with normal operation of the at least one application, when the data communication access rights require regulating bandwidth usage by the at least one application.

System and method for communication management of a multi-tasking mobile device

A method for reducing data bandwidth usage in wireless communication comprises receiving a request from a mobile device to provide the an e-mail message; sending a request to the an e-mail server for delivery of the e-mail message; analyzing the e-mail message delivered from the e-mail server to determine if a size of the e-mail message is above a threshold value, and if not expanding the e-mail content to be above the threshold value; acknowledging to the mobile device the existence of the e-mail message and its respective size; and delivering to the mobile device header content of the e-mail content, thereby only a small fraction of the data corresponding to the e-mail message is actually delivered to the mobile device.

Apparatus and methods for bandwidth saving and on-demand data delivery for a mobile device

Techniques for zero rating through redirection are described. In one embodiment, an apparatus may comprise a client proxy component operative to receive a proxy network packet from a local gateway application on a client device, the proxy network packet containing an application network packet for delivery to a network server device; and forward the application network packet to the network server device based on a determination that a local user application is authorized to use the proxy server device; and a proxy access component operative on the processor circuit to determine that the application network packet is associated with the local user application on the client device; and determine that the local user application is authorized to use the proxy server device. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Techniques for zero rating through redirection

Techniques for zero rating through web reconstruction are described. In one embodiment, an apparatus may comprise a client access component operative to receive a web request from a client device, the web request for a web page hosted on a network server device; and transmit a zero-rating transformed web page to the client device in response to the web request; and a web reconstruction component operative on the processor circuit to retrieve the web page from the network server device; identify one or more non-zero-rated resource references in the retrieved web page; transform the one or more non-zero-rated resource references to form one or more zero-rated resource references; and replace the one or more non-zero-rated resource references with the one or more zero-rated resource references in the web page to form the zero-rating transformed web page. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Techniques for zero rating through web reconstruction

A proxy and a method for providing a unique user identification (UUID) to a mobile device executing a plurality of mobile applications includes receiving a request to access an resource by a mobile application of the plurality of mobile applications; generating a unique user identification (UUID) to uniquely identify the mobile device, thereby the UUID enables the at least one resource to uniquely identify the mobile device regardless of which of the plurality of mobile applications made a request to the resource; associating to the request the UUID; and forwarding the request with the UUID to the resource.

Proxy and method for determination of a unique user identification for a plurality of applications accessing the web from a mobile device

A method for reducing data bandwidth usage in wireless communication comprises receiving a request from the a mobile device to provide the an e-mail message; sending a request to the an e-mail server for delivery of the e-mail message; analyzing the e-mail message delivered from the e-mail server to determine if a size of the e-mail message is above a threshold value, and if not expanding the e-mail content to be above the threshold value; acknowledging to the mobile device the existence of the e-mail message and its respective size; and delivering to the mobile device header content of the e-mail content, thereby only a small fraction of the data corresponding to the e-mail message is actually delivered to the mobile device.

A method for cache management of a mobile device communicatively connected to a network component via a network is provided. The method comprises receiving by the network component a request from the mobile device for a data item, the request accompanied by a unique identifier associated thereto, the data item residing in the cache; fetching the data item from at least a server communicatively connected to the network component; generating a unique identifier respective of the fetched data item; and comparing the generated unique identifier and the received unique identifier to determine whether the data item in the cache is the same as the data item fetched from the at least a server.
