  • Publication number: 20180357295
    Abstract: An apparatus adapted to operate as an A party in a database synchronization with a B party via a mobile communication network. The database contains data items to be synchronized. The apparatus includes mechanisms for maintaining a copy of the database and a client-server communication module with a client part and a server part. The client part is configured to communicate via the mobile communication network with the server part of the B party. The apparatus also includes change detection mechanisms responsive to a detection of a changed data item, for initiating a synchronization event via the client part of the client-server communication module.

  • Patent number: 9298792
    Abstract: Synchronization of data items between parties A and B. A maintains copies of data items and an A change count and a B change count for each data item. The A change count indicates the number of changes made by A, and the B change count indicates the number of changes made by B and known to A. After a synchronization trigger, A sends to B each data item that A has changed, plus the A change count and the B. change count for each sent data item. A receives from B each data item that B has changed, plus the A change count and the B change count for each received data item. A detects a conflict if the received A change count differs from the maintained A change count.

  • Patent number: 9043433
    Abstract: Systems and methods for mobile network traffic coordination across multiple applications are disclosed. In one aspect, embodiments of the present disclosure include a distributed proxy and cache system, including, a local proxy on a mobile device for intercepting a data request made via a mobile device, and a proxy server coupled to the mobile device and a content server to which the data request is directed. One embodiment includes, delaying transfer of a first data transfer request initiated by a first application until another data transfer request initiated by a second application is detected on the mobile device and transferring, the first data transfer request of the first application and the other data transfer request of the second application a single transfer operation over the network.

  • Patent number: 8886176
    Abstract: Systems and methods for mobile application traffic optimization are disclosed. In one aspect, embodiments of the present disclosure include a distributed proxy and cache system, including, a local proxy on a mobile device for intercepting a data request made via a mobile device, and a proxy server coupled to the mobile device and a content server to which the data request is directed. In one embodiment, the local proxy can forward the data request to the proxy server for transmission to the content server for a response to the data request. In addition, the proxy server sends the data request to the content server independent of activities on the local proxy and notifies the local proxy when changed or different content on the content server is detected for the data request.
