Abstract: A method and system for performing domain name service (DNS) pre-fetching, content pre-fetching, or a combination thereof, are disclosed for a wireless portable computing device (PCD). The system and method may include rendering a web page on a display screen of the PCD and performing a DNS pre-fetch for any visible links within the web page. Further, the method may include determining whether a screen changing operation (i.e., a scrolling operation) is being performed and placing one or more DNS pre-fetch tasks in a queue for each link that is displayed on the display screen when the screen changing operation is performed. The method and system may reduce wait times for a wireless PCD when it is rendering webpages on its display screen.

Abstract: A method for optimizing media playback quality for a wireless handheld computing device is disclosed. The system includes a client request manager that may be responsible for controlling or instructing a web browser on what file segments should be downloaded next to the wireless handheld mobile computing device to insure optimal video playback quality for the computing device. The request manager may be dynamic in that it may continually monitor elements of an application subsystem as well as the modem subsystem. The request manager may select one or more file segments for download that optimizes media playback on the wireless handheld computing device based on the data received from at least one of the application subsystem and modem subsystem.

Abstract: A method and system for managing one or more memory resources of a wireless handheld computing device is described. The method and system may include receiving a request to initiate a web browser module and receiving input for a web address. The method and system may also include receiving a file corresponding to the web address and reviewing one or more objects present within the file. The method and system may determine if an object already exists in the one or more memory resources. And if the object does not exist in the one or more memory resources, then the method and system may calculate a priority for the object. The priority of the object may then be assigned and stored. It may also be determined if the current object will exceed the threshold of the one or more memory resources, and discarding other objects with lower priority as needed.

Abstract: Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate enhanced data service functionality for data services operating in a multi-processor computing environment. As described herein, respective processors and/or other components can be utilized to form a Smart Peripheral Subsystem (SPS). As further described herein, the SPS can operate in association with a modem processor and an application processor at a mobile computing device in order to reduce loading at the application processor and improve memory usage efficiency. In the case of a mobile computing device sharing a network connection with a tethered computing device, the SPS can couple a modem interface associated with the mobile computing device and an interface through which the disparate computing device is tethered to the mobile computing device such that operations such as Layer 2 (L2) framing and/or de-framing, Network Address Translation (NAT), or the like can be offloaded to the SPS under various circumstances.
