Method and apparatus that collect and uploads implicit analytic data
First Claim
1. A method of collecting and uploading implicit analytic data, the method comprising the steps of:
- storing dependency rules corresponding explicit events to implicit events;
collecting, at a communication device, implicit event data corresponding to implicit events generated by a user;
receiving an explicit event generated by the user at the communication device;
evaluating dependency rules corresponding to the explicit event, wherein the dependency rules are determined from historical usage of the communication device;
identifying a relevant subset of the implicit event data and corresponding to the explicit event based on evaluating the dependency rules;
uploading, from the communication device, the relevant subset of the implicit event data and explicit event data corresponding to the explicit event;
determining a high probability of a select subset of implicit event data that corresponds to the explicit event based on the historical usage of the communication device; and
deferring the uploading of the select subset of the implicit event data in response to determining a high probability of a select subset of implicit event data corresponding to the explicit event.

1. A method of collecting and uploading implicit analytic data, the method comprising the steps of:
-
storing dependency rules corresponding explicit events to implicit events; collecting, at a communication device, implicit event data corresponding to implicit events generated by a user; receiving an explicit event generated by the user at the communication device; evaluating dependency rules corresponding to the explicit event, wherein the dependency rules are determined from historical usage of the communication device; identifying a relevant subset of the implicit event data and corresponding to the explicit event based on evaluating the dependency rules; uploading, from the communication device, the relevant subset of the implicit event data and explicit event data corresponding to the explicit event; determining a high probability of a select subset of implicit event data that corresponds to the explicit event based on the historical usage of the communication device; and deferring the uploading of the select subset of the implicit event data in response to determining a high probability of a select subset of implicit event data corresponding to the explicit event. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11)

12. An apparatus that collects and uploads implicit analytic data, the apparatus comprising:
-
a controller configured to control operations of the apparatus and configured to collect implicit event data corresponding to implicit events generated by a user; a memory coupled to the controller, the memory configured to store dependency rules that correspond explicit events to implicit event data; a user interface configured to receive an explicit event generated by the user; a device activity manager coupled to the controller, the device activity manager configured to; evaluate dependency rules determined from historical usage of the apparatus and corresponding to the explicit event, identify a relevant subset of the implicit event data corresponding to the explicit event based on evaluating the dependency rules, and determine a high probability that a select subset of implicit event data corresponds to the explicit event based on the historical usage of the apparatus; and a transceiver configured to upload, from the apparatus, the relevant subset of the implicit event data and upload explicit event data corresponding to the explicit event, and wherein the device activity manager is further configured to defer the uploading of the select subset of the implicit event data in response to determining a high probability of a select subset of implicit event data corresponding to the explicit event. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)

22. A method of collecting and uploading implicit analytic data, the method comprising the steps of:
-
storing dependency rules at a device activity management server, where the dependency rules identify a relevant subset of implicit event data generated by a user corresponding to an explicit event generated by the user at a user device; receiving, at the device activity management server, implicit event data corresponding to implicit events, where the implicit event data is collected by at least one user device; personalizing the dependency rules based on the implicit event data collected at the at least one user device; and sending the dependency rules to the user device. - View Dependent Claims (23)
