Abstract

Methods, systems, non-transitory media comprising computer-readable instructions, and logic for obtaining information related to an application may include receiving, at a terminal device, data exchange information, including data transfer speed information, that is related to a data exchange between the terminal device and a web service. The method further may include storing, at the terminal device, at least a portion of the data exchange information received at the terminal device.

Claims

1. A method for obtaining information related to an application, the method comprising:

receiving, at a terminal device, data exchange information, comprising data transfer speed information, that is related to a data exchange between the terminal device and a web service; and

storing, at the terminal device, at least a portion of the data exchange information received at the terminal device.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising transmitting at least a portion of the data exchange information stored at the terminal device to a web server.

3. The method of claim 2, further comprising removing the at least a portion of the data exchange information stored at the terminal device after transmitting the at least a portion of the data exchange information stored at the terminal device to the web server.

4. The method of claim 2, further comprising:

receiving, at the terminal device, feedback information from the web server after transmitting the at least a portion of the data exchange information stored at the terminal device to the web server; and

processing the feedback information received from the web server.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the storing comprises storing the at least a portion of the data exchange information received at the terminal device on a memory of the terminal device.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the storing comprises storing the at least a portion of the data exchange information received at the terminal device on a drive of the terminal device.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising analyzing, at the terminal device, the at least a portion of the data exchange information received at the terminal device.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the transfer speed information comprises one or more of a data download speed and a data upload speed.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the data exchange information further comprises information corresponding to one or more of:

a size of data exchanged between the terminal device and the web service,

a type of a particular application to be executed on the terminal device,

a type of the terminal device,

a location of the terminal device,

data regarding a network comprising the terminal device,

an actual time, and

data regarding errors related to the data exchange between the terminal device and the web service.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein the receiving of the data exchange information occurs for a predetermined period of time.

11. The method of claim 1, wherein the terminal device comprises a mobile telephone.

12. The method of claim 1, wherein the web service comprises a web application programming interface.

13. The method of claim 1, further comprising executing a particular application on the terminal device,

wherein the terminal device comprises a personal digital assistant (“

PDA”

) terminal, and

wherein the particular application comprises a native application installed on the PDA terminal.

14. A system for obtaining information related to an application, the system comprising:

at least one terminal device,

wherein each terminal device of the at least one terminal device comprises;

a processor; and

a memory,

wherein the at least one terminal device is configured to receive data exchange information, comprising data transfer speed information, that is related to a data exchange between the at least one terminal device and at least one web service, and

wherein the at least one terminal device is configured to store at least a portion of the received data exchange information.

15. The system of claim 14, further comprising at least one web server configured to receive data exchange information from the at least one terminal device.

16. The system of claim 14,

wherein the at least one terminal device is configured to transmit at least a portion of the data exchange information stored thereon to at least one web server, and

wherein the at least one terminal device is configured to remove the at least a portion of the data exchange information stored thereon after transmitting the at least a portion of the data exchange information stored thereon to the at least one web browser.

17. The system of claim 14,

wherein the at least one terminal device is configured to transmit at least a portion of the data exchange information stored thereon to at least one web server,

wherein the at least one terminal device is configured to receive feedback information from the at least one web server after transmitting the at least a portion of the data exchange information stored thereon to the at least one web browser, and

wherein the at least one terminal device is configured to process the feedback information from the at least one web server.

18. Logic encoded in one or more non-transitory, computer-readable media, the logic comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor, are operable to:

receive, at a terminal device, data exchange information, comprising data transfer speed information, that is related to a data exchange between the terminal device and a web service; and

store, at the terminal device, at least a portion of the data exchange information received at the terminal device.

19. The logic of claim 18 further comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor, are operable to transmit at least a portion of the data exchange information stored at the terminal device to a web server.

20. The logic of claim 18 further comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor, are operable to:

receive, at the terminal device, feedback information from the web server after transmitting the at least a portion of the data exchange information stored at the terminal device to the web server; and

process the feedback information received from the web server.
