Abstract
An apparatus and method for synchronizing applications of an electronic device include identifying, at the electronic device, a first data transmission time corresponding to a first application and a second data transmission time corresponding to a second application. A third data transmission time corresponding to the first application is determined based on the first data transmission time and a fourth data transmission time corresponding to the second application based on the second data transmission time. Data associated with the first application is transmitted from the electronic device at a fifth data transmission time determined based on at least the fourth data transmission time.
Claims19
A method comprising:
- identifying a first time, by an electronic device, as a first data transmission time that corresponds to a first application;
- identifying a second time by the electronic device as a second data transmission time that corresponds to a second application;
- determining a third data transmission time that corresponds to the first application based on the first data transmission time and a fourth data transmission time that corresponds to the second application based on the second data transmission time;
- transmitting data associated with the first application at a fifth data transmission time determined based on at least the fourth data transmission time, wherein the fifth data transmission time is determined to be a transmission time between the third data transmission time and the fourth data transmission time that is closer to a current time;
- determining a sixth data transmission time that corresponds to the first application based on the third data transmission time and a seventh data transmission time that corresponds to the second application based on the fourth data transmission time;
- and
- when a difference between the fifth data transmission time and the sixth data transmission time is less than a difference between the fifth data transmission time and the seventh data transmission time, transmitting data associated with the first application at the seventh data transmission time.
