Abstract
A system and method for tracking user patterns, getting debug information from retail devices in use, and gathering data automatically into a central location where it is processed automatically. Information pertaining to the state of the system at the time a failure occurred on a mobile device is accessible by a developer in a disconnected mode. In addition, usage patterns are ascertainable from the data gathered.

10. A computer readable-medium having stored thereon a log file, comprising:
-
a first data field containing data representing usage patterns of a mobile device;
a second data field containing data representing the occurrence of an error on the mobile device;
a third data field containing a sequence identifier that identifies the log file with a specified interval of time;
a fourth data filed containing a size label that identifies the size of the log file;
a fifth data field containing a run identifier that identifies the log file as a log file generated during an interval of time between a first reset of the mobile device and a second reset of the mobile device; and
a sixth data field containing a type identifier that identifies the log file as contain error data when an error has occurred on the mobile device. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12)

13. A method for storing and transporting data representing usage patterns and error occurrences on a mobile device from the mobile device, comprising:
-
receiving data by monitoring user interface entries and error occurrences of the mobile device;
parceling the data as a sequence of log files;
temporarily storing the log files on the mobile device;
transporting each log file to one of a server and a user computer when a connection is established to the mobile device; and
deleting the successfully transported log files from the mobile device. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)
