Abstract

A method is provided for providing mobile device support services. The method may include monitoring a mobile device status. The method may additionally include performing device diagnostics based at least in part on captured device status data to identify potential faults that may affect mobile device functionality. A corresponding system, apparatus, and computer program product are also provided.

Claims (40)

1 . A method comprising:

generating, based at least in part on device status data associated with a mobile device, one or more application profiles for one or more applications installed on the mobile device;

maintaining a backup record of the one or more applications based on the one or more application profiles;

comparing a first application profile and a second application profile of the one or more application profiles and determining one or more faults with the one or more applications in an instance in which the comparison detects a change between the first application profile and the second application profile; and

restoring the mobile device to a last known working condition based on the backup record.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more application profiles comprise one or more of: (i) configuration settings for the one or more applications, (ii) processor usage data of the one or more applications, (iii) memory usage data of the one or more applications, (iv) crash logs of the one or more applications, (v) execution data for the one or more applications, or (vi) usage data of the one or more applications.

3 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

causing transmission of computer executable instructions configured to render on the mobile device a user interface comprising a notification of the one or more faults.

4 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

providing an alert notification indicative of the one or more faults to a user via a web portal.

5 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more faults comprises two or more conflicting applications.

6 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first application profile and the second application profile comprise successive application profiles of the one or more application profiles.

7 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving the device status data via a web portal.

8 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein receiving the device status data from the mobile device comprises monitoring the mobile device periodically or aperiodically to receive the device status data.

9 . A system comprising at least one processor and at least one non-transitory memory having computer-coded instructions stored thereon that, in execution with the at least one processor, causes the system to:

generate, based at least in part on device status data associated with a mobile device, one or more application profiles for one or more applications installed on the mobile device;

maintain a backup record of the one or more applications based on the one or more application profiles;

compare a first application profile and a second application profile of the one or more application profiles and determine one or more faults with the one or more applications in an instance in which the comparison detects a change between the first application profile and the second application profile; and

restore the mobile device to a last known working condition based on the backup record.

10 . The system according to claim 9 , wherein the one or more application profiles comprise one or more of: (i) configuration settings for the one or more applications, (ii) processor usage data of the one or more applications, (iii) memory usage data of the one or more applications, (iv) crash logs of the one or more applications, (v) execution data for the one or more applications, or (vi) usage data of the one or more applications.

11 . The system according to claim 9 , wherein the at least one non-transitory memory, in execution with the at least one processor, further causes the system to:

cause transmission of computer executable instructions configured to render on the mobile device a user interface comprising a notification of the one or more faults.

12 . The system according to claim 9 , wherein the at least one non-transitory memory, in execution with the at least one processor, further causes the system to:

provide an alert notification indicative of the one or more faults to a user via a web portal.

13 . The system according to claim 9 , wherein the one or more faults comprises two or more conflicting applications.

14 . The system according to claim 9 , wherein the first application profile and the second application profile comprise successive application profiles of the one or more application profiles.

15 . The system according to claim 9 , wherein the at least one non-transitory memory, in execution with the at least one processor, further causes the system to:

receive the device status data via a web portal.

16 . The system according to claim 9 , wherein receiving the device status data from the mobile device comprises monitoring the mobile device periodically or aperiodically to receive the device status data.

17 . A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having program code portions stored therein, the program code portions being configured to, upon execution, direct an apparatus to at least:

generate, based at least in part on device status data associated with a mobile device, one or more application profiles for one or more applications installed on the mobile device;

maintain a backup record of the one or more applications based on the one or more application profiles;

compare a first application profile and a second application profile of the one or more application profiles and determine one or more faults with the one or more applications in an instance in which the comparison detects a change between the first application profile and the second application profile; and

restore the mobile device to a last known working condition based on the backup record.

18 . The computer program product according to claim 17 , wherein the one or more application profiles comprise one or more of: (i) configuration settings for the one or more applications, (ii) processor usage data of the one or more applications, (iii) memory usage data of the one or more applications, (iv) crash logs of the one or more applications, (v) execution data for the one or more applications, or (vi) usage data of the one or more applications.

19 . The computer program product according to claim 17 , wherein the program code portions being configured to, upon execution, further direct the apparatus to at least:

cause transmission of computer executable instructions configured to render on the mobile device a user interface comprising a notification of the one or more faults.

20 . The computer program product according to claim 17 , wherein the program code portions being configured to, upon execution, further direct the apparatus to at least:

provide an alert notification indicative of the one or more faults to a user via a web portal.
