AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The M2AppMonitor is a new app that allows users to track the performance of the apps they use on their phones. It collects data on many performance criteria, such as resource usage, and sends it to a cloud-based server for analysis. The server compares the data with norms for each app type and alerts the user if there are any issues. The app also allows users to filter the display of apps by resource usage, and even force-stop or uninstall flagged apps. This is useful for users who want to improve the performance of their device by uninstalling unnecessary apps. Overall, the M2AppMonitor provides a single interface for users to monitor the impact of installed apps on their device's health and performance.

Problems solved by technology

A significant fraction of mobile phone applications (hereinafter referred to as “apps”) are not efficient, optimized, or safe for mobile device performance and for the quality of a consumer's user experience.
A leading cause of this problem is that a vast majority of apps in the iPhone and Android markets are designed and coded by hobbyists or other programming amateurs who do not employ sufficient quality controls.
The vast majority of app developers do not have the capability to properly test their apps to work on all of the different devices and carrier networks.
Flagged apps are those that are poorly designed, poorly optimized, poorly quality tested, and / or unsafe, cause consumer frustration and result in device returns for Wireless Carriers and Device OEMs.
The problem of flagged apps concerns performance and quality.

Embodiment Construction

[0024]Referring now to the drawings wherein the showings are for purposes of illustrating a preferred embodiment of the present invention and not for purposes of limiting the same, FIGS. 1-12 show the method of collecting data on, and assessing each application. FIG. 1 is a flow diagram showing the two timed operations that are employed for populating the table and assessing application performance. The process begins by initiating a ten minute cycle, followed by the creation of an application table in memory for storing the data. After the application table is created and the ten minute clock is initiated, a fifteen-second cycle runs forty times repeatedly. Upon initiation of each 15 second cycle. Step 1 is to start a timer that will raise a flag at the 10 minute mark. This timer restarts approximately every ten minutes after the data table is cleared. Step 2 is to create a table in memory to store information on currently running applications. Step 3 is to pull the data collected ...
