CEO Dean Becker notes, "As data transmission usage continues to grow, this technology can deliver significant savings across a wide range of industries."

Key Characteristics & Benefits

  • This patent portfolio discloses techniques for reducing bandwidth usage in data transmission. Suited for mobile devices such as smartphones with built in storage and multiple internet connection methods such as Wifi and cellphone data network.
  • This invention substitutes inexpensive resources such as centralized (cloud server) computing and a mobile device's on board storage for the much more limited, expensive resource of mobile data transmissions. The most significant speedup can be achieved when a mobile device is frequently connected to Wifi or other home or office networks in between mobile usage.
  • Eliminating unnecessary mobile transmissions not only improves the individual user experience but also allows more simultaneous users and reduces the cost of running the mobile network.
  • The previous usage pattern enables the data provider to gather the likely content that would be accessed by this user on the go. Most of their friends' social network status updates, mapping data for their locations, types of news that they would likely read, and even targeted advertisements would already be bulk downloaded into the mobile device's storage.
  • This preserves more of the mobile data network bandwidth for the time critical information that cannot be pre-loaded, such as instant messages, latest headlines or video conferencing.
