Abstract
Techniques for controlling updating of information stored on a device, the information including information of a first type and information of a second type. The techniques include determining, using at least one processor, when a first item of information of the first type and a second item of information of the second type are to be updated, wherein the second item of information is to be updated more frequently than the first item of information; and causing the device to update the first and second items of information in accordance with the determination at least in part by wirelessly communicating with at least one other device.
Claims14
A method comprising:
- in a device configured to store a first item of information and a second item of information:
- determining, by at least one processor, when the first item of information of a first type and the second item of information of a second type are to be updated, wherein the second item of information is to be updated more frequently than the first item of information;
- controlling the device to update the first item of information and the second item of information in accordance with the determination at least in part by wirelessly communicating with a base station, wherein
- the determining comprises determining a first updating frequency at which the first item of information is to be updated and a second updating frequency at which the second item of information is to be updated,
- the second updating frequency is larger than the first updating frequency, and
- determining the second updating frequency at which the second item of information is to be updated comprises:
- upon determining that a selected item of information, among the first item of information and the second item of information, is of a category included as part of the second item of information, determining an average value for the second item of information over a period of time,
- wherein the second item of information relates to resources allocated for the wireless communication between the device and the base station at a first communication rate through use of a first communication carrier;
- decreasing the second updating frequency based on the determined average value that is less than a threshold value;
- and
- controlling the device to display the first communication rate of the first communication carrier superimposed on the first item of information on a map.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing processor-executable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a device, cause the at least one processor to execute operations, the operations comprising:
- in the device configured to store a first item of information and a second item of information:
- determining when the first item of information of a first type and the second item of information of a second type are to be updated, wherein the second item of information is to be updated more frequently than the first item of information;
- and
- controlling the device to update the first item of information and the second item of information in accordance with the determination at least in part by wirelessly communicating with a base station, wherein
- the determining comprises determining a first updating frequency at which the first item of information is to be updated and a second updating frequency at which the second item of information is to be updated,
- the second updating frequency is larger than the first updating frequency, and
- determining the second updating frequency at which the second item of information is to be updated comprises:
- upon determining that a selected item of information, among the first item of information and the second item of information, is of a category included as part of the second item of information, determining an average value for the second item of information over a period of time,
- wherein the second item of information relates to resources allocated for the wireless communication between the device and the base station at a communication rate through use of a communication carrier;
- decreasing the second updating frequency based on the determined average value that is less than a threshold value;
- and
- controlling the device to display the communication rate of the communication carrier superimposed on the first item of information on a map.
9 more elements
A device, comprising:
- at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium configured to store at least a first item of information of a first type and at least a second item of information of a second type;
- and
- at least one processor configured to:
- determine when the first item of information of the first type and the second item of information of the second type are to be updated, wherein the second item of information is to be updated more frequently than the first item of information;
- and
- update the first item of information and the second item of information in accordance with the determination at least in part by wirelessly communicating with a base station, wherein
- the determination comprises determination of a first updating frequency at which the first item of information is updated and a second updating frequency at which the second item of information is updated,
- the second updating frequency is larger than the first updating frequency, and
- determination of the second updating frequency at which the second item of information is updated comprises:
- upon determination that a selected item of information, from the first item of information and the second item of information, is of a category included as part of the second item of information, determine an average value for the second item of information over a period of time,
- wherein the second item of information relates to resources allocated for the wireless communication between the device and the base station at a communication rate through use of a communication carrier;
- decrease the second updating frequency based on the determined average value that is less than a threshold value;
- and
- control the device to display the communication rate of the communication carrier superimposed on the first item of information on a map.
11 more elements
A system, comprising:
- a device comprising at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium configured to store at least a first item of information of a first type and at least a second item of information of a second type;
- and
- at least one processor configured to:
- determine when the first item of information of the first type and the second item of information of the second type are to be updated, wherein the second item of information is to be updated more frequently than the first item of information;
- control the device to update the first item of information and the second item of information in accordance with the determination at least in part by wirelessly communicating with a base station, wherein
- the determination comprises determination of a first updating frequency at which the first item of information is updated and a second updating frequency at which the second item of information is updated,
- the second updating frequency is larger than the first updating frequency,
- determination of the second updating frequency at which the second item of information is updated, comprises:
- upon determination that a selected item of information, from the first item of information and the second item of information, is of a category included as part of the second item of information, determine an average value for the second item of information over a period of time,
- wherein the second item of information relates to resources allocated for the wireless communication between the device and the base station at a communication rate through use of a communication carrier;
- decrease the second updating frequency based on the determined average value that is less than a threshold value;
- and
- control the device to display the communication rate of the communication carrier superimposed on the first item of information on a map.
