Systems and methods for optimizing keepalives or other non-interactive or background traffic from applications on a mobile device are disclosed. A keepalive optimizer can detect keepalive and other background traffic and optimize such traffic by blocking keepalives, advancing or delaying execution of keepalives, delaying repeatable background requests based on radio state, device state or characteristics, policy, transaction characteristics, application characteristics, and/or the like. The disclosed keepalive optimization methods facilitate management of traffic and/or conservation of resources on the mobile device and the network. The keepalive optimization can be performed by an application sending the keepalives or by a local proxy on the mobile device.

Optimizing keepalive and other background traffic in a wireless network

Detection of network transactions or keepalives for maintaining long lived connections are disclosed. A keepalive detector can detect keepalive traffic based on keepalive parameters determined from an analysis of socket level network communication log data that record data transfer events including data sent from mobile applications or clients on a mobile device and data received by the mobile applications or clients on the mobile device, timing characteristics, protocol types, etc. Various statistical analyses can be performed on the network communication data to detect keepalives, taking into account variability in intervals of the data transfer events and sizes of data sent and received on each event. The keepalive detector can also detect keepalives from stream data on a mobile device by analyzing socket level communication messages including timing characteristics and amount of data transferred to detect keepalives and report keepalives using a data structure.

Detection and reporting of keepalive messages for optimization of keepalive traffic in a mobile network

According to one aspect, the subject matter described herein includes a method for signaling optimization in a wireless network utilizing proprietary and non-proprietary protocols. A first connection is established between an application on a mobile device and a local proxy on the mobile device, a second connection is established between the local proxy and a proxy server not located on the mobile device, and a third connection is established between the proxy server and a content server. A byte stream between client and server is communicated between the client and the server via the first, second, and third connections. The mobile device performs signaling optimization to optimize traffic over the second connection.

Application and/or server stability in signaling optimization in a wireless network for traffic utilizing proprietary and non-proprietary protocols

A system, method and non-transitory computer code for operating a proxy server operating under software to cause the proxy server to access a communication network and to delay, advance or block keep-alives for a client device to improve traffic data flow.

Optimizing traffic by controlling keep-alives

Detection and reporting of keepalive messages for optimization of a keepalive traffic in a mobile network

Systems and methods of optimizing network transaction traffic originating at a mobile device are provided. The systems and methods includes identifying network transaction parameters corresponding to an application and utilizing the network transaction parameters to execute a network transaction in advance of an expected schedule or after a delay to optimize the network transaction traffic.

Methods for the intelligent rendering of information in a limited display environment are provided. Display environments, especially in mobile devices, are limited with regard to physical space and technical capability. The present invention provides for the scaling of information in the display in light of those limitations. Additional methods for intelligently determining information to be or not to be displayed in the environment are further provided. Determinations of information to be displayed may be a result of a user-determination or automatic determinations made by a user device. Zooming and 'quick look' features are also provided.

Intelligent rendering of information in a limited display environment

A system and method for translating, synthesizing and acting upon disparate event sets is provided. The disclosed cross-platform event engine comprises an event module with information pertaining to various event inputs as they relate to different operating platforms and devices. Logic utilized by the cross-platform event engine determines how to handle a particular event within an operating environment. Methods of updating and training the engine are also provided.
