Abstract
An electronic device for media file caching for conserving resources is described. The electronic device includes a processor and instructions stored in memory. The electronic device monitors requests for a media file, stores media file information and determines whether the media file should be stored locally based on the media file information. If it is determined that the media file should be stored, the electronic device saves the media file and presents the media file.
Claims44
An electronic device for media file caching for conserving resources, comprising:
- a processor;
- memory in electronic communication with the processor;
- instructions stored in the memory, the instructions being executable to:
- monitor requests for a media file;
- store media file information, wherein the media file information comprises a count threshold of requests originating at the electronic device and one or more of an amount of processing power and an amount of power resources needed to decode the media file for presentation on the electronic device;
- determine whether the media file should be stored locally based on the media file information, and if it is determined that the media file should be stored, then:
- save the media file in a native format;
- and
- present the media file.
A method for media file caching for conserving resources on an electronic device, comprising:
- monitoring requests for a media file;
- storing, by an electronic device, media file information, wherein the media file information comprises a count threshold of requests originating at the electronic device and one or more of an amount of processing power and an amount of power resources needed to decode the media file for presentation on the electronic device;
- determining, on the electronic device, whether the media file should be stored locally based on the media file information, and if it is determined that the media file should be stored, then:
- saving the media file in a native format by the electronic device;
- and
- presenting the media file on the electronic device.
A computer-program product for media file caching for conserving resources, the computer-program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions thereon, the instructions comprising:
- code for causing an electronic device to monitor requests for a media file;
- code for causing the electronic device to store media file information, wherein the media file information comprises a count threshold of requests originating at the electronic device and one or more of an amount of processing power and an amount of power resources needed to decode the media file for presentation on the electronic device;
- code for causing the electronic device to determine whether the media file should be stored locally based on the media file information and if it is determined that the media file should be stored, then:
- saving the media file in a native format;
- and
- presenting the media file.
An apparatus for media file caching for conserving resources, comprising:
- means for monitoring requests for a media file;
- means for storing media file information, wherein the media file information comprises a count threshold of requests originating at the apparatus and one or more of an amount of processing power and an amount of power resources needed to decode the media file for presentation on the electronic device;
- means for determining whether the media file should be stored locally based on the media file information and if it is determined that the media file should be stored, then:
- saving the media file in a native format;
- and
- presenting the media file.
