Abstract
A mobile device includes a memory, a battery, and a processor. The processor is configured for synchronizing data with a host. The synchronization is based on an amount of battery charge remaining for the battery.
Claims27
1-4. (canceled)
A method comprising:
- in a normal operation mode:
- automatically synchronizing between a mobile device and a client over a network on a periodic basis, wherein synchronization includes sending background application data requests to the client;
- and
- receiving data from the network responsive to the sent application data requests;
- entering a power management mode based on an amount of battery power remaining on the mobile device,
- wherein the power management mode is entered automatically based on the amount of battery power remaining being below a predetermined amount,
- wherein the predetermined amount is set on the mobile device at each one of a first power remaining threshold and a second power remaining threshold,
- wherein the power management mode can be enabled at either of the first power remaining threshold or the second power remaining threshold;
- while in the power management mode:
- adjusting, by the mobile device, the rate of synchronization requests by reducing a rate at which application data requests are sent to the client;
- and
- sending transactions between the mobile device and the client over a first connection between the mobile device and the client that is established for sending the transactions;
- and
- exiting the power management mode, wherein the power management mode remains exited when the remaining battery charge is above the predetermined amount.

A mobile device located in a mobile network, comprising:
- a battery;
- a processor configured to allow the mobile device to:
- operate within a normal operation mode and a power management mode;
- wherein in the normal operation mode:
- automatically synchronize between the mobile device and a client over a network on a periodic basis, wherein synchronization includes sending background application data requests to the client;
- and
- receiving data from the network responsive to the sent application data requests;
- entering a power management mode based on an amount of battery power remaining on the mobile device,
- wherein the power management mode is entered automatically based on the amount of battery power remaining being below a predetermined amount,
- wherein the predetermined amount is set on the mobile device at each one of a first power remaining threshold and a second power remaining threshold,
- wherein the power management mode can be enabled at either of the first power remaining threshold or the second power remaining threshold;
- while in the power management mode:
- adjusting, by the mobile device, the rate of synchronization requests by reducing a rate at which application data requests are sent to the client;
- and
- sending transactions between the mobile device and the client over a first connection between the mobile device and the client that is established for sending the transactions;
- and
- exiting the power management mode, wherein the power management mode remains exited when the remaining battery charge is above the predetermined amount.
