Mobile application traffic optimization
First Claim
1. A mobile device having an established multiplexed connection for communicating over a wireless network, the mobile device comprising:
- a memory; and
a processor configured for;
receiving a selection from a user whether to enable an application for fetching;
communicating over the established multiplexed connection, wherein the established multiplexed connection is a connection at an intermediary server that provides connectivity between an application server for the application and the mobile device;
predicting an activity session based on application access history, wherein the application access history includes historical application usage;
fetching data for the application before the activity session to support the predicted activity session before beginning the activity session, wherein the application is operating in a background of the mobile device, wherein the data is fetched if the fetching is enabled by the user selection for the application, wherein at least some of the fetched data is for background requests made by the application on the mobile device;
wherein fetching data occurs over a second connection that is other than the established multiplexed connection; and
disconnecting from the second connection.

Abstract
A system with distributed proxy for reducing traffic in a wireless network satisfies data requests made by a mobile application. The system includes a mobile device having a local proxy for intercepting a data request made by the mobile application. The local proxy simulates application server responses for the mobile application on the mobile device for data requests where responses are available in the local cache. A proxy server is coupled to the mobile device and an application server to which the data request is made. The proxy server is able to communicate with the local proxy. The local proxy forwards the data request to the proxy server for transmission to the application server for a response to the data request. The proxy server queries the application server for any changes to the data request that the mobile application has previously made and notifies the local proxy of such changes.

12. A method for communicating over a wireless network with an established multiplexed connection, the method comprising:
-
receiving a selection from a user whether to enable an application for fetching; communicating over the established multiplexed connection, wherein the established multiplexed connection is a connection at an intermediary server that provides connectivity between an application server for the application and the mobile device; predicting an activity session based on application access history, wherein the application access history includes historical application usage; fetching data for the application before the activity session to support the predicted activity session before beginning the activity session, wherein the application is operating in a background of the mobile device, wherein the data is fetched if the fetching is enabled by the user selection for the application, wherein at least some of the fetched data is for background requests made by the application on the mobile device; wherein fetching data occurs over a second connection that is other than the established multiplexed connection; and disconnecting from the second connection. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
