Abstract

A mobile device includes a memory, a battery, and a processor. The processor is configured for synchronizing data with a host. The synchronization is based on an amount of battery charge remaining for the battery.

Claims (29)

1. A mobile device comprising:

a memory;

a battery; and

a processor, the processor configured for:

sending configuration information that includes login data to authenticate a user of the mobile device;

verifying the login data against a user database;

sending a trigger to the mobile device when new data is available for synchronization;

synchronizing data with a host,

wherein the synchronization is based on an amount of battery charge remaining for the battery,

wherein the mobile device varies how often the mobile device synchronizes with the host based on different gradient levels associated with different amounts of battery charge remaining for the battery.

2. The mobile device of claim 1 , wherein the synchronization is further based on a day of the week.

3. The mobile device of claim 1 , further configured for determining an amount of battery charge remaining on the mobile device.

4. A system comprising:

a server; and

a mobile device comprising:

a memory;

a battery; and

a processor, the processor configured for:

sending configuration information that includes login data to authenticate a user of the mobile device;

verifying the login data against a user database;

sending a trigger to the mobile device when new data is available for synchronization;

synchronizing data with a host,

wherein the synchronization is based on an amount of battery charge remaining for the battery,

wherein the mobile device varies how often the mobile device synchronizes with the host based on different gradient levels associated with different amounts of battery charge remaining for the battery,

wherein the mobile device synchronizes more frequently when the battery has a relatively large amount of charge remaining and the mobile device synchronizes less frequently when the battery has a relatively small amount of charge remaining.

5. The mobile device of claim 1 , wherein varying how often the mobile device synchronizes with the host based on different gradient levels associated with different amounts of battery charge remaining for the battery includes the mobile device synchronizing with the host according to a first time interval when the battery has more than a first threshold amount of charge remaining, and the mobile device synchronizing with the host according to a second time interval when the battery has more than a second threshold amount of charge remaining and less than the first threshold amount of charge remaining.

6. The mobile device of claim 5 , wherein the first threshold is greater than the second threshold, and wherein the first time interval is less than the second time interval.

7. The mobile device of claim 5 , wherein the mobile device synchronizes with the host according to a third time interval when the battery has more than a third threshold amount of charge remaining and less than the second threshold amount of charge remaining.

8. The mobile device of claim 7 , wherein the second threshold is greater than the third threshold, and wherein the second time interval is less than the third time interval.
