Abstract
Systems and methods described herein provide a mechanism for optimizing the reception and storage of mobile user data. Data relating to mobile user location, behavior, and profiles are received from mobile users and stored at a storage system in an efficient manner. The efficiency is achieved by identifying what system parameters may be adjusted to reduce storage requirements while still providing sufficient data for useful analysis. System parameters that may change to reduce storage requirements include, e.g., the type of mobile user data collected, the frequency at which mobile user data is collected, the events or conditions that trigger data collection, and dynamically adjusting data collection upon detecting a number of event or time-based triggers.
Claims34
A method for optimizing mobile user data storage by adjusting parameters, said method comprising:
- receiving, at a storage system, data from one or more mobile users according to a first data receiving scheme;
- establishing, at said storage system, a second data receiving scheme according to a location of said one or more mobile users where the frequency at which data is received from said mobile users according to said second data receiving scheme is different than the frequency at which data is received from said mobile users according to said first data receiving scheme, wherein
- more data is received from said one or more mobile users when said one or more mobile users is determined to be in a proximity of a location of interest, and
- less data is received from said one or more mobile users during periods of expected low mobile user activity and more data is received from said one or more mobile users during periods of expected high mobile user activity;
- and
- instructing said one or mobile users to transmit data to said storage system according to said second scheme.
A system for optimizing storage of mobile user data by adjusting parameters, said system comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- a memory coupled to the at least one processor, wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
- receive, at a storage system, data from one or more mobile users according to a first data receiving scheme;
- establish, at said storage system, a second data receiving scheme according to a location of said one or more mobile users where the frequency at which data is received from said mobile users according to said second data receiving scheme is different than the frequency at which data is received from said mobile users according to said first data receiving scheme, wherein
- more data is received from said one or more mobile users when said one or more mobile users is determined to be in a proximity of a location of interest, and
- less data is received from said one or more mobile users during periods of expected low mobile user activity and more data is received from said one or more mobile users during periods of expected high mobile user activity;
- and
- instruct said one or mobile users to transmit data to said storage system according to said second scheme.
