Dynamic adjustment of mobile device based on user activity
In some implementations, a mobile device can be configured to monitor environmental, system and user events. The occurrence of one or more events can trigger adjustments to system settings. In some implementations, the mobile device can be configured to keep frequently invoked applications up to date based on a forecast of predicted invocations by the user. In some implementations, the mobile device can receive push notifications associated with applications that indicate that new content is available for the applications to download. The mobile device can launch the applications associated with the push notifications in the background and download the new content. In some implementations, before running an application or accessing a network interface, the mobile device can be configured to check energy and data budgets and environmental conditions of the mobile device to preserve a high quality user experience.
1. A method comprising:
receiving a first event data at a first process running on a mobile device;
receiving event registration data from a second process running on the mobile device, the event registration data identifying one or more events for triggering an invocation of the second process, where the second process is suspended or terminated after the event registration data is received;
receiving a second event data at a third process running on the mobile device;
determining, by the first process and the third process, that the one or more events have occurred based on the event data;
invoking the second process on the mobile device to determine component settings;
transmitting the determined component settings to a control multiplexer, wherein the control multiplexer determines a priority between the first process and the third process; and
adjusting settings of one or more components of the mobile device according to the priority.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more components include a central processing unit, graphics processing unit, baseband processor or display of the mobile device.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more events include a change in operating temperature of the mobile device, a change in a system setting, a user input, turning on or off a display, setting a clock alarm, or setting a calendar event.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more events include a pattern of events and wherein the first process or the third process is configured to identify patterns in the received event data and invoke the second process when the pattern of events is detected.
5. A non-transitory computer-readable medium including one or more sequences of instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, causes:
receiving a first event data at a first process running on a mobile device;
receiving event registration data from a second process running on the mobile device, the event registration data identifying one or more events for triggering an invocation of the second process, where the second process is suspended or terminated after the event registration data is received;
receiving a second event data at a third process running on the mobile device;
determining, by the first process and the third process, that the one or more events have occurred based on the event data;
invoking the second process on the mobile device to determine component settings;
transmitting the determined component settings to a control multiplexer, wherein the control multiplexer determines a priority between the first process and the third process; and
adjusting settings of one or more components of the mobile device according to the priority.
6. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 5 , wherein the one or more components include a central processing unit, graphics processing unit, baseband processor or display of the mobile device.
7. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 5 , wherein the one or more events include a change in operating temperature of the mobile device, a change in a system setting, a user input, turning on or off a display, setting a clock alarm, or setting a calendar event.
8. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 5 , wherein the one or more events include a pattern of events and wherein the first process or third process is configured to identify patterns in the received event data and invoke the second process when the pattern of events is detected.
9. A system comprising:
one or more processors; and
a non-transitory computer-readable medium including one or more sequences of instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, causes:
receiving event data at a first process running on a mobile device;
receiving event registration data from a second process running on the mobile device, the event registration data identifying one or more events for triggering an invocation of the second process, where the second process is suspended or terminated after the event registration data is received;
receiving event data at a third process running on a mobile device;
determining, by the first process and the third process, that the one or more events have occurred based on the event data;
invoking the second process on the mobile device to determine component settings;
transmitting the determined component settings to a control multiplexer, wherein the control multiplexer determines a priority between the first process and the third process; and
adjusting settings of one or more components of the mobile device according to the priority.
10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the one or more components include a central processing unit, graphics processing unit, baseband processor or display of the mobile device.
11. The system of claim 9 , wherein the one or more events include a change in operating temperature of the mobile device, a change in a system setting, a user input, turning on or off a display, setting a clock alarm, or setting a calendar event.
12. The system of claim 9 , wherein the one or more events include a pattern of events and wherein the first process or third process is configured to identify patterns in the received event data and invoke the second process when the pattern of events is detected.
