Network messaging for paired devices

A mobile device, comprising:

• a processor;
• and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory storing instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the mobile device to perform operations including:
• receive refresh preferences for updating application information intended for a particular accessory application of a wearable device, wherein the wearable device is paired with the mobile device;
• identify a trigger for sending updated application information to the wearable device;
• receive the identified trigger;
• responsive to the identified trigger, obtain new application data;
• determine a current state of the wearable device;
• determine, by a wearable device communication daemon, whether to send the new application data to an accessory application of the wearable device, wherein the determination of whether to send the new application data is made according to the refresh preferences, the current state of the wearable device, and a number of updates of the application information that have been sent to the wearable device within a predetermined time period being below a predetermined threshold number of updates;
• when the number of updates exceeds the predetermined threshold number of updates, waiting until the number of updates within a new time period is below the predetermined threshold number of updates prior to transmitting an update and then sending the new application data to the wearable device;
• and
• responsive to determining to send the new application data, send the new application data to the wearable device.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a plurality of instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a mobile device, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

• receiving refresh preferences for updating application information intended for a particular accessory application of a wearable device, wherein the wearable device is paired with the mobile device;
• identifying a trigger for sending updated application information to the wearable device;
• receiving the identified trigger;
• responsive to the identified trigger, obtaining new application data;
• determining a current state of the wearable device;
• determining, by a wearable device communication daemon, whether to send the new application data to an accessory application of the wearable device, wherein the determination of whether to send the new application data is made according to the refresh preferences, the current state of the wearable device, and a number of updates of the application information that have been sent to the wearable device within a predetermined time period being below a predetermined threshold number of updates;
• when the number of updates exceeds the predetermined threshold number of updates, waiting until the number of updates within a new time period is below the predetermined threshold number of updates prior to transmitting an update and then sending the new application data to the wearable device;
• and responsive to determining to send the new application data, sending the new application data to the wearable device.
