Wirelessly syncing content of an application without requiring device to be plugged into power source
First Claim
1. A computer program product embodied in a non-transitory computer readable storage medium for wirelessly syncing content, the computer program product comprising the programming instructions for:
- gathering and storing information regarding battery usage for data synchronizations with a device so as to generate distribution curves based on battery usage for synchronizing particular types of data and generate tables indicating an average amount of content that is synced for each application;
receiving an indication for content of an application to be synced with said device;
determining an estimated amount of content of said application to be synced with said device as well as an estimated amount of battery usage for syncing said estimated amount of content of said application with said device based on said stored information by consulting said generated distribution curves and said generated tables; and
syncing said content of said application with said device in response to a battery life of said device exceeding said estimated amount of battery usage for syncing said content of said application with said device.

Abstract
A method, system and computer program product for wirelessly syncing content. An analytics engine in a mobile computing device gathers and stores information regarding battery usage for data synchronizations. Upon receiving an indication for content of an application to be synced with the device, the analytics engine determines an estimated amount of content to be synced as well as an estimated amount of battery usage for syncing the estimated amount of content based on the stored information. The content will be wirelessly synced with the device if there is sufficient battery life for syncing the content. If there is not enough battery life for wirelessly syncing the entire content, then a portion of the content will be synced. In this manner, the device does not need to be plugged into a power source and will only sync the amount of content that the device has power to do so.
