Context-based data storage management between devices and cloud platforms
View Patent ↗A system, method and program product that provides context-based data storage management between a cloud platform and a mobile device. A system is disclosed that includes: a system for assigning context to user files stored in a cloud platform; a system for periodically analyzing schedule information and location information associated with a user to determine a current user context; a system for matching the current user context with user files stored in the cloud platform to identify a set of context matching files; and a system for periodically downloading context matching files from the cloud platform to a mobile device associated with the user.
1. A context-based data storage management system, comprising:
a system for assigning context to user files stored in a network provisioning platform;
a system for periodically analyzing schedule information and location information associated with a user to determine a current user context;
a system for matching the current user context with user files stored in the network provisioning platform to identify a set of context matching files;
a system for periodically downloading context matching files from the network provisioning platform to a mobile device associated with the user;
a system for determining if the mobile device has enough free space to download the context matching files; and
a system for automatically deleting files from the mobile device to create more free space if the system for determining determines that the mobile device does not have enough space to download the context matching files and another instance of the deleted files is stored in the network provisioning platform.
2. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a system for prioritizing context matching files for download to the mobile device.
3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the system for prioritizing includes analyzing at least one of: an assigned importance, amount of free space available, amount of battery life remaining, and network conditions.
4. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a system for generating an alert or prompt when a context matching file is to be downloaded.
5. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a system for deploying agents to run on both the mobile device and network provisioning platform.
6. A computer program product stored on a non-transitory computer readable storage medium, which when executed by a computer system, provides context-based data storage management between a network provisioning platform and a mobile device, comprising:
program instructions for assigning context to user files stored in the network provisioning platform;
program instructions for periodically analyzing schedule information and location information associated with a user to determine a current user context;
program instructions for matching the current user context with user files stored in the network provisioning platform to identify a set of context matching files;
program instructions for periodically downloading context matching files from the network provisioning platform to the mobile device associated with the user;
program instructions for determining if the mobile device has enough free space to download the context matching files; and
program instructions for automatically deleting files from the mobile device to create more free space if the program instructions for determining determines that the mobile device does not have enough space to download the context matching files and another instance of the deleted files is stored in the network provisioning platform.
7. The program product of claim 6 , further comprising program instructions for prioritizing context matching files for download to the mobile device.
8. The program product of claim 7 , wherein the program instructions for prioritizing includes analyzing at least one of: an assigned importance, amount of free space available, amount of battery life remaining, and network conditions.
9. The program product of claim 6 , further comprising a system for generating an alert or prompt when a context matching file is to be downloaded.
10. The program product of claim 6 , further comprising a system for deploying agents to run on at least one of the mobile device and network provisioning platform.
11. A method of providing context-based data storage management between a network provisioning platform and a mobile device, comprising:
assigning context to user files stored in the network provisioning platform;
periodically analyzing schedule information and location information associated with a user to determine a current user context;
matching the current user context with user files stored in the network provisioning platform to identify a set of context matching files;
periodically downloading context matching files from the network provisioning platform to the mobile device associated with the user;
determining if the mobile device has enough free space to download the context matching files; and
automatically deleting files from the mobile device to create more free space if it is determined that the mobile device does not have enough space to download the context matching files and another instance of the deleted files is stored in the network provisioning platform.
12. The method of claim 11 , further comprising prioritizing context matching files for download to the mobile device.
13. The method of claim 12 , wherein prioritizing includes analyzing at least one of: an assigned importance, amount of free space available, amount of battery life remaining, and network conditions.
14. The method of claim 11 , further comprising generating an alert or prompt when a context matching file is to be downloaded.
