Managing power-consuming resources on a first computing device by adjusting data delivery from a plurality of second computing devices based on a state of the first computing device. The state of the first computing device is provided to the second computing devices to alter the data delivery. In some embodiments, the first computing device provides the second computing devices with actions or commands relating to data delivery based on the device state. For example, the second computing devices are instructed to store the data, forward the data, forward only high priority data, or perform other actions. Managing the data delivery from the second computing devices preserves battery life of the first computing device.

Managing data delivery based on device state

Managing power-consuming resources on a first computing device by time-based and condition-based scheduling of data delivery from a plurality of second computing devices. A scheduler executing on the first computing device has knowledge of recurrent schedules for activation by the second computing devices. The first computing device determines availability of the power-consuming resources and adjusts an activation time for the schedules to use the power-consuming resources when the resources are available. Managing the schedules associated with the second computing devices preserves battery life of the first computing device.

Scheduling data delivery to manage device resources

A hardware-independent proxy layer for synchronous processing of commands in a mobile telephone is disclosed. Such synchronous processing may include receiving a function call of an application program interface (API) that is associated with a function to be performed by a mobile telephone, waiting to receive from a driver layer a result notify event indicating that the function has been performed, and, after receiving the result notify event from the driver layer, passing to the client first result data associated with the first result notify event. The API may be translated into an input/output control (IOCTL) code, which may be sent to the driver layer.

Synchronous RIL proxy

A UMTS extension to the GSM/GPRS RIL is disclosed. The UTMS RIL provides an API set interface for the support of UMTS features such as 3G QoS, secondary PDP contexts call, priority service, voice group call and voice broadcast services, etc. The API set is based on the UMTS AT command interface as defined in 3GPP specification TS 27.007. The architecture of the UMTS RIL is designed as a standard interface with APIs and callback mechanisms that can be used across different platforms and multi-radio hardware such as GSM, GPRS, WCDMA, and HSDPA. The UTMS RIL may enable various applications running on mobile platforms in 2G, 2.5G, and 3G cellular radio stacks to issue commands without knowledge of underlying radio hardware structure.

UMTS RIL extension

A portable ultra wideband device wirelessly connects to personal computers and other computing or consumer devices with an ultra-high speed link. The ultra wideband device provides data storage and retrieval functionalities. Data or information is formatted for ultra wideband wireless transmission at a transmitting device. The data is transmitted from an ultra wideband communication interface of the transmitting device over a wireless medium to the receiving device. The data transmission is transparent to the receiving device. An ultra wideband communication interface on the receiving device processes the data according to an ultra wideband protocol. The original data is parsed from the file and translated into its original format which is supported by an application on the receiving device. The original data is used to execute a read/write action on a storage device of the receiving device such that the translated data is automatically available to the receiving device.
