System and method of downloading filtering rules onto a mobile device

A system for downloading data including filtering rules from a remote server onto a mobile device, wherein the system comprises:

• a memory device storing a plurality of lists of filtering rules;
• and
• a processor coupled to the memory device and configured to:
• determine a first list, from the plurality of lists of filtering rules, having a highest indicator of frequency of actuation of the filtering rules from the list, wherein the filtering rules from the lists are designated for use by a first application on the mobile device;
• transmit the determined list to the mobile device with the aid of a second application, the second application on the mobile device being a provider of the filtering rules for the first application;
• divide each of the remaining non-downloaded lists of filtering rules intended for downloading onto the mobile device into a plurality of parts having a first size;
• generate a set of groups of filtering rules based on frequency of actuation within each of the remaining non-downloaded lists of filtering rules, wherein each group of filtering rules includes a part of a first non-downloaded list of filtering rules and a part of a second, different non-downloaded list of filtering rules, and wherein in each of whose groups is placed not more than one part of each remaining non-downloaded list of filtering rules;
• and
• transmit the groups of filtering rules to the mobile device during time intervals having a first duration until the generated set of groups are fully downloaded onto the mobile device.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer executable instructions for downloading data including filtering rules from a remote server onto a mobile device, including instructions for:

• determining a first list, from a plurality of lists of filtering rules, having a highest indicator of frequency of actuation of the filtering rules from the list, wherein the filtering rules from the lists are designated for use by a first application on the mobile device;
• transmitting the determined list to the mobile device with the aid of a second application, the second application on the mobile device being a provider of the filtering rules for the first application;
• dividing each of the remaining non-downloaded lists of filtering rules intended for downloading onto the mobile device into a plurality of parts having a first size;
• generating a set of groups of filtering rules based on frequency of actuation within each of the remaining non-downloaded lists of filtering rules, wherein each group of filtering rules includes a part of a first non-downloaded list of filtering rules and a part of a second, different non-downloaded list of filtering rules, and wherein in each of whose groups is placed not more than one part of each remaining non-downloaded list of filtering rules;
• and
• transmitting the groups of filtering rules to the mobile device during time intervals having a first duration until the generated set of groups are fully downloaded onto the mobile device.
