Abstract
A method of maintaining application continuity () and mobile computing device () are described. The method involves a mobile device running an application in synchronous communication with an application server. The application has a threshold communication null period for maintaining application continuity. The method () can include the steps of: operating () the application in synchronous communication with an application server, defining an active mode, wherein the synchronous communication is automatically enabled; providing () a dormant mode wherein the synchronous communication is automatically disabled in the mobile device for a predetermined duration; and interrupting () the dormant mode by momentarily communicating with the application server prior to a threshold communication null period, for maintaining application continuity. Advantageously, prior to a threshold period of communication inactivity, the dormant mode can be interrupted to maintain application connectivity, so the server will not stop the application and data will not be lost.
