Predictive Caching of IP Data on Mobile Device
First Claim
1. A mobile device comprising:
- a cellular transceiver;
at least one other RF transceiver communicable with at least one non-cellular IP network access point;
a data storage component; and
at least one processor operable with one or more software applications configured to;
receive an Internet Protocol (IP) data request for IP data;
automatically bypass any cellular network connection and download the IP data to the mobile device using the at least one other RF transceiver over the at least one non-cellular IP network access point such that the stored IP data is not transported over a cellular network;
store the downloaded IP data in the data storage component; and
in response to a subsequent request for the IP data and when no non-cellular IP network access point connection is available to the mobile device;
bypass an available cellular network connection; and
access the stored IP data from cache memory using an application on the mobile device associated with the stored IP data.

Abstract
Disclosed is a technique for caching IP content data for a mobile device. In the mobile device, a content request is sent to a server over an IP network, the content request indicative of IP content data of interest to the mobile device. The server retrieves the requested IP content data from content servers and queues the requested IP content data in a buffer associated with the mobile device. A notification message is sent to the mobile device indicating that the requested IP content is queued. The mobile device determines whether it is connected to a non-cellular IP network access point and automatically downloads the queued IP content data from the server when connected to a non-cellular IP network. The IP content data is stored in a cache memory in the mobile device. Other embodiments are disclosed.

11. A method comprising:
-
in a mobile device having both a cellular transceiver and at least one other RF transceiver communicable with at least one non-cellular IP network access point; receiving an Internet Protocol (IP) data request for IP data; automatically bypassing any cellular network connection and downloading the IP data to the mobile device using the at least one other RF transceiver over the at least one non-cellular IP network access point such that the stored IP data is not transported over a cellular network; storing the downloaded IP data in the data storage component; and in response to a subsequent request for the IP data and when no non-cellular IP network access point connection is available to the mobile device; bypassing an available cellular network connection; and accessing the stored IP data from cache memory using an application on the mobile device associated with the stored IP data. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)
