MOBILE APPLICATION TRAFFIC OPTIMIZATION
First Claim
1. A method for optimizing traffic in a wireless network, the method, comprising:
- using application behavior of multiple applications accessed on a mobile device to align content requests made over the wireless network;
polling over the wireless network in accordance with the aligned content requests to satisfy data requests of at least some of the multiple applications.

Abstract
Systems and methods for mobile application traffic optimization are disclosed. In one aspect, embodiments of the present disclosure include a distributed proxy and cache system, including, a local proxy on a mobile device for intercepting a data request made via a mobile device, and a proxy server coupled to the mobile device and a content server to which the data request is directed. In one embodiment, the local proxy can forward the data request to the proxy server for transmission to the content server for a response to the data request. In addition, the proxy server sends the data request to the content server independent of activities on the local proxy and notifies the local proxy when changed or different content on the content server is detected for the data request.

5. A method for reducing traffic in a cellular network used to satisfy data requests made by a mobile application, the system, comprising:
-
intercepting a data request made by the mobile application on a mobile device; querying a local repository on the mobile device to determine if any locally stored response is valid; querying a remote proxy for any remotely stored response if the locally stored response is invalid; wherein, either the locally stored response or the remotely stored response is provided to the mobile device without the mobile device needing to access the cellular network. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A method for reducing traffic in a wireless network used to satisfy data requests made by a mobile application on a mobile device, the method, comprising:
-
intercepting a data request made by the mobile application; simulating an application server authentication and querying a local cache on the mobile device to retrieve connection information if available; upon authentication, simulating application server responses for the mobile application on the mobile device for data requests where responses are available in the local cache. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)

18. A system with distributed proxy for reducing traffic in a wireless network to satisfy data requests made by a mobile application the system, comprising:
-
a mobile device having a local proxy for intercepting a data request made by the mobile application; the local proxy simulating 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 coupled to the mobile device and an application server to which the data request is made; wherein, 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; wherein, the proxy server queries the application server independent of activities of the mobile application for any changes to the data request that the mobile application has previously made and notifies the local proxy of such changes. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)

21. A system with distributed proxy for reducing network resources used for keep-alive messages in a wireless network, the system, comprising:
-
a mobile device having a local proxy; a proxy server coupled to the local proxy and a content server to which application requests from the mobile device are directed; wherein, the proxy server is able to communicate with the local proxy, the local proxy prevents keep-alive messages from being sent from the mobile device over the wireless network; wherein, the proxy server generates the keep-alive messages to maintain connectivity with the content server. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25)
