Abstract:

A method or process enables the collection of data from mobile devices and mobile networks using filtering, compression, encryption, memory management, and power management technologies to collect mobile device metrics at the mobile device (client side), and then transmit these metrics from the mobile device to a server for processing by analytics software. The analytics processing may also occur directly on the mobile device. Policies are determined and configured at the processing server to drive and control the mobile device metrics captured, which may include but are not limited to, data usage (e.g. time of day, amount of data sent/received), voice usage (e.g. time of day, calls in/out of network, dropped calls, call duration), the location of the mobile device, cell patterns (e.g. problem cells, roaming), touch interactions, behavioral analysis (programs used, services uses), battery performance, CPU usage, memory usage, network usage (e.g. 2G, 3G, 3.5G, 4G, Wi-Fi, WiMAX), and the like.
