Abstract
Methods and systems for providing APIs and API extensions to third party applications for optimizing and minimizing application traffic are provided. According to one aspect, a method for optimizing and minimizing application traffic in a wireless network includes defining an application programming interface (API) for controlling application traffic between an application client residing on a mobile device that operates within a wireless network and an application server not residing on the mobile device and using the API to optimize application traffic in the wireless network.
Claims10
A method for optimizing and minimizing application traffic in a wireless network, the method comprising:
- defining an application programming interface (API) for controlling application traffic between an application client residing on a mobile device that operates within a wireless network and an application server not residing on the mobile device;
- and
- using the API to optimize application traffic in the wireless network.
A system for optimizing and minimizing application traffic, the system comprising:
- a mobile device that operates within a wireless network, the mobile device including an application client that interacts with an application server not residing on the mobile device,
- wherein the mobile device supports an application programming interface (API) for controlling application traffic between the application client and the application server, and
- wherein the API is used to optimize the application traffic.
