Adjusting an application update rate in a wireless communication device
First Claim
1. A method of operating a wireless communication device comprising:
- exchanging communications with a wireless communication network;
executing an application that exchanges application data in the wireless communication device with the wireless communication network;
determining an application usage rate for the executing application, wherein the application usage rate comprises a number of user inputs that interact with the application while the application is running;
adjusting an application update rate for the application based on the application usage rate, wherein the application update rate cannot fall below a minimum application update rate; and
updating the application data over the wireless communication network based on the application update rate.
