Abstract
An exemplary method for managing information in a mobile device comprises the steps of downloading a first set of files, determining whether a local cache has enough space to store the first set of files, storing the first set of files into the local cache if the local cache has enough space, selecting an out-dated record and removing a second set of files corresponding to the out-dated record from the local cache if the local cache does not have enough space, and repeating the determining step until the first set of files is stored into the local cache.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein said selecting step includes the step of:
selecting a data access record associated to a least recently accessed data set or a least frequently accessed data set based on parameter values in each data access record.
-
4. The method of claim 1, further comprising the steps of:
-
creating a record corresponding to the first set of files; and
storing said record into a database regardless of whether said first set of files is stored into said local cache.

5. A method for managing information in a mobile device, comprising the steps of:
-
receiving a set of update files;
update a set of original files in a local cache with said set of update files if said set of update files is smaller than or equal to the size of said set of original files;
determining whether said local cache has enough space to store said set of update files if said set of update files is larger than the size of said set of original files;
if enough space, updating said set of original files in said local cache in accordance with said set of update files;
if not enough space, selecting a record based on a frequency of access to said record and removing a set of files corresponding to said record from said local cache; and
repeating said determining step until said set of original files is updated in said local cache.

7. A method for managing information in a mobile device, comprising the steps of:
-
receiving an update notification to update a set of files stored in a local cache, said update notification including an update version identification;
dynamically generating an original version identification for said set of files;
comparing said update version identification to said original version identification;
marking said set of files as out-dated if said update version identification is different than said original version identification; and
automatically updating said set of files prior to processing a loading or execution command. - View Dependent Claims (8)
