Mobile device configured for operating in a power save mode and a traffic optimization mode and related method
A method and system are for generating a report for delivery to or access or query by a network operator by determining, by a server-side proxy, optimization efficiency for traffic in a wireless network, tracking, by the server-side proxy, user-related information in the wireless network, generating, based on at least one of the optimization efficiency and the user-related information, a report for delivery to or access by an operator of the wireless network, the report including an alert of viral take-up of a new application, and performing, by the server-side proxy, traffic optimization functions alleviating traffic in the wireless network.
1. A method comprising:
performing, on a mobile device, functions related to battery consumption reduction at the mobile device;
receiving, at the mobile device, a user preference for performing traffic optimization at a remote server;
requesting data from a data provider;
receiving a response from the remote server;
wherein functions related to traffic optimization and management are performed to compress data in the received response at the remote server based on the received user preference;
tracking optimization efficiency for data for at least one of mobile network traffic and WiFi traffic at the mobile device;
wherein optimization efficiency for data is tracked based on an amount of data communicated compared to an amount of data saved;
reporting the tracked optimization efficiency at the mobile device; and
determining battery consumption data of the mobile device.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the mobile device determines optimization efficiency information specific to individual applications on the mobile device.
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
generating a report, wherein traffic optimization efficiency and battery consumption data of the mobile device are included in the report.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the data further includes data aggregated by the remote server.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the remote server and the mobile device are components of a distributed proxy and/or cache system; wherein each individually or in conjunction performs traffic management and optimization functions.
6. A mobile device configured for operating in a network where traffic optimization and management are performed by a remote server, the mobile device comprising:
a memory; and
a processor, the processor configured for:
performing, on a mobile device, functions related to battery consumption reduction at the mobile device;
receiving, at the mobile device, a user preference for performing traffic optimization at a remote server;
requesting data from a data provider;
receiving a response from the remote server;
wherein functions related to traffic optimization and management are performed to compress data in the received response at the remote server based on the received user preference;
tracking optimization efficiency for data for at least one of mobile network traffic and WiFi traffic at the mobile device;
wherein optimization efficiency for data is tracked based on an amount of data communicated compared to an amount of data saved;
reporting the tracked optimization efficiency at the mobile device; and
determining battery consumption data of the mobile device.
7. The mobile device of claim 6 , wherein the mobile device determines optimization efficiency information specific to individual applications on the mobile device.
8. The mobile device of claim 7 , wherein the processor is further configured for:
generating a report, wherein traffic optimization efficiency and battery consumption data of the mobile device are included in the report.
9. The mobile device of claim 6 , wherein the data further includes data aggregated by the remote server.
10. The mobile device of claim 6 , wherein the remote server and the mobile device are components of a distributed proxy and/or cache system; wherein each individually or in conjunction performs traffic management and optimization functions.
