Abstract: A system with distributed proxy for reducing traffic in a wireless network satisfies data requests made by a mobile application. The system includes a mobile device having a local proxy for intercepting a data request made by the mobile application. The local proxy simulates application server responses for the mobile application on the mobile device for data requests where responses are available in the local cache. A proxy server is coupled to the mobile device and an application server to which the data request is made. The proxy server is able to communicate with the local proxy. The local proxy forwards the data request to the proxy server for transmission to the application server for a response to the data request. The proxy server queries the application server for any changes to the data request that the mobile application has previously made and notifies the local proxy of such changes.

Abstract: A system for creating a shared media streaming session includes a memory and a processor. The processor is operable to, for each user in a shared media streaming session, retrieve a user track list and user playback history associated with the user from the memory; filter the user track lists according to predetermined rules; combine the filtered user track lists to create a session segment; generate a pool of recommended tracks; and determine whether there are multiple users in the shared media streaming session. The processor may further be operable to determine whether the session segment complies with licensing rules, and add the session segment to a session track list to be streamed to users of the shared media streaming session.

Abstract: A mobile device having improved resource management predicts that a user is likely to access an application based on prior application access history while the user of the mobile device is inactive and a screen status of the mobile device is off. The mobile device communicates over an established multiplexed connection and a second connection is established while the established multiplexed connection remains connected. Data for the application is fetched based on the prediction. Data for the application is fetched over the second connection before the application is accessed.
