1. An apparatus for managing one or more memories of a device, the apparatus comprising:
- one or more processor units;
first program code to collect information about use, by the device, of data in the one or more memories of the device, the information including a time and a location for which each portion of the data is used by the device;
second program code to identify patterns of use, by the device, of each portion of the data based on the information collected;
third program code to select one or more portions of the data that are not needed in the one or more memories of the device based on the patterns of use by the device;
fourth program code to send the one or more portions of the data to remote storage in a network;
fifth program code to select another one or more portions of the data that are needed in the one or more memories of the device based on the patterns of use by the device; and
sixth program code to determine whether or not the another one or more portions of the data are currently located in the one or more memories of the device, and if not, retrieving the another one or more portions of the data from the remote storage, wherein the first program code, the second program code, the third program code, the fourth program code, the fifth program code, and the sixth program code are stored in at least one of the one or more memories of the device for execution by at least one of the one or more processor units via at least one of the one or more memories of the device.

Abstract
An apparatus and computer program product for managing memory of a device is disclosed. A computer system collects information about use, by the device, of data in the memory of the device. The information collected by the computer system includes a time and a location for which each portion of the data is used by the device. The computer system identifies patterns of use, by the device, of each portion of the data based on the information collected. The computer system then selects one or more portions of the data that are not needed in the memory of the device based on the patterns of use by the device.
