Predictive Caching of IP Data
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;
data storage having a cache memory 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 roaming cellular network connection and download the IP data to the mobile device such that the IP data is not transported over a roaming cellular network;
store the downloaded IP data in the data storage component; and
in response to a subsequent request for IP data previously downloaded and when no non-cellular IP network access point connection is available to the mobile device;
download the IP data associated with the subsequent request only when the mobile device is connected with a home cellular network;
otherwisebypass all available roaming cellular network connections; and
access the stored IP data from the cache memory component.

Abstract
Disclosed is a method of predictively caching IP content data for a mobile device. In the mobile device, a content request is sent to an intelligent cache server over an IP network or a home cellular network, the content request indicative of recurring IP content data of interest to the mobile device. The intelligent cache 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 or a home cellular network and automatically downloads the queued IP content data from the intelligent cache server. The IP content data is stored in a cache memory in the mobile device.

13. 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 roaming cellular network connection and downloading the IP data to the mobile device such that the IP data is not transported over a roaming cellular network; storing the downloaded IP data in the data storage component; and in response to a subsequent request for IP data previously downloaded and when no non-cellular IP network access point connection is available to the mobile device; downloading the IP data associated with the subsequent request only when the mobile device is connected with a home cellular network;
otherwisebypassing all available roaming cellular network connections; and accessing the stored IP data from the cache memory component. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
