Abstract
Remote resource management of local devices through a remote resource management service provider is described. The remote resource management service provider performs resource management operations on a local device upon an indication that resource management on the local device is necessary to perform a specific service.
Claims43
A method comprising:
- receiving a communication that a service is to be used on a remote device;
- determining whether to perform a resource management operation on the remote device in response to the communication;
- and
- performing the resource management operation on the remote device.
A method comprising:
- receiving an usage intention signal from a remote device, the usage intention signal indicating a service to be executed on the remote device;
- determining whether to communicate with a remote service provider that performs a resource management operation on the remote device in response to the usage intention signal;
- and
- communicating with the remote service provider to perform a resource management operation.
The method of claim 13 wherein the determining whether to communicate is based on a resource available on the remote device.
The method of claim 14 wherein the resource comprises a memory space.
The method of claim 14 wherein the resource comprises a storage space.
The method of claim 16 wherein the service log information is stored in a user preference database.
The method of claim 16 wherein the communicating comprises providing the service log information to the service provider.
A system, comprising:
- a local device coupled to a network, the local device including a service;
- and
- a remote service provider to perform a resource management operation upon a resource event.
The system of claim 19 wherein the remote service provider analyzes a resource on the local device to determine whether to perform the resource management operation.
The system of claim 19 wherein the remote service provider analyzes the resource selected from the group consisting of a memory space and a storage space.
The system of claim 28 wherein the communication with the remote service provider comprises providing service log information to the remote service provider.
A machine-readable medium having executable instructions to cause a machine to perform a method comprising:
- receiving a communication that a service is to be used on a remote device;
- determining whether to perform a resource management operation on the remote device in response to the communication;
- and
- performing the resource management operation on the remote device.
The machine-readable medium of claim 30 wherein the receiving comprises receiving service log information.

A machine-readable medium having executable instructions to cause a machine to perform a method comprising:
- receiving an usage intention signal from a remote device, the usage intention signal indicating a service to be executed on the remote device;
- determining whether to communicate with a remote service provider that performs a resource management operation on the remote device in response to the usage intention signal;
- and
- communicating with the remote service provider to perform a resource management operation.
The machine-readable medium of claim 41 wherein the determining whether to communicate is based on a resource available on the remote device.
The machine-readable medium of claim 41 wherein the resource comprises a memory space.
The machine-readable medium of claim 41 wherein the resource comprises a storage space.
The machine-readable medium of claim 41 further comprising:
- collecting service log information, the service log information to be used to analyze a usage pattern.
