Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for coordinating resource usage between applications in a tightly sandbox environment. A scheduling indicator can be left in a system file that multiple applications can use to align their requests for a system resource. Alternatively, IP loopback can be used to pass a scheduling indicator between applications that are otherwise sandboxed. If either of these approaches is not possible, then applications can schedule system resource requests using a common algorithm that selects a start time and optionally a period of subsequent system resource requests based on a common piece of information such as a system clock signal or IP address. In these ways the total amount of time during which the system resource is being utilized by various applications can be reduced, thus reducing power consumption, and network activity.
