Abstract
A device and method for controlling load on a server is provided. A server comprises: memory storing information associated with user identifiers; a communication interface; and a controller. The controller is configured to: receive, using the communication interface, a user identifier; assign an available mobile device, of a plurality of shared mobile devices, to the user identifier, the available mobile device storing respective information associated with the user identifier; and control, via the communication interface, an output device to provide an indication of an assignment of the available mobile device.
Claims16
A server comprising:
- a communication interface;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- receive, using the communication interface, a user identifier;
- assign an available mobile device, of a plurality of shared mobile devices, to the user identifier, the available mobile device storing respective information associated with the user identifier by
- determining a subset of the plurality of shared mobile devices, which were one or more of:
- previously assigned to the user identifier, most recently assigned to the user identifier;
- and stores respective information associated with the user identifier;
- and selecting the available mobile device from the subset;
- determining that, of the subset of shared mobile devices, the available mobile device has a smallest difference between:
- the respective information associated with the user identifier stored at the available mobile device;
- and information associated with the user identifier stored at a memory accessible to the controller;
- and
- control, via the communication interface, an output device to provide an indication of an assignment of the available mobile device.
A method comprising:
- receiving, at a controller, using a communication interface, a user identifier;
- assigning, at the controller, an available mobile device, of a plurality of shared mobile devices, to the user identifier, the available mobile device storing respective information associated with the user identifier by
- determining a subset of the plurality of shared mobile devices, which were one or more of:
- previously assigned to the user identifier, most recently assigned to the user identifier;
- and stores respective information associated with the user identifier;
- and selecting the available mobile device from the subset;
- determining that, of the subset of shared mobile devices, the available mobile device has a smallest difference between:
- the respective information associated with the user identifier stored at the available mobile device;
- and information associated with the user identifier stored at a memory accessible to the controller;
- and
- controlling, via the communication interface, an output device to provide an indication of an assignment of the available mobile device.
