Abstract:

A mobile computing device can operate as a user device or a service provider device for a network-based service. The mobile computing device can transmit location data to a network system to aid in the network system's management of the network-based service. The mobile computing device can dynamically adjust the location data transmission rate at which location data is transmitted to the network system based on various parameters, including one or more of: a power status, information related to the network-based service, network connectivity metrics, and the like. By dynamically adjusting the location data transmission rate based one or more of these parameters, the mobile computing device can conserve battery power without adversely affecting the provisioning of the network-based service.

Abstract:

In one embodiment, a method includes identifying candidate content associated with a user of a computing device, selecting, from the candidate content, cache content to be stored in cache storage of the computing device for access by the user when the computing device does not have network connectivity, and storing the cache content in the cache storage of the computing device.
