    Abstract: In some implementations, a system can intelligently restore data to a user's computing device. For example, the system can prioritize data to be restored to a user device based on the data that the user is most likely to use. The system can restore high priority data items first while delaying restoration of low priority data items. The system can control when data restoration is performed based on device conditions. For example, the device conditions can include how much of an energy budget and/or data budget remains for downloading data to the user device. The device conditions can include the thermal condition (e.g., how hot) of the user device. If device conditions do not allow for downloading data at a particular time, then the device can delay downloading data until the device conditions allow for downloading and/or restoring the data.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for determining hours of utility of an application per amount of energy consumed by the application for a wide variety of device types. For each subsystem of a client device, a model of the subsystem is used to estimate a portion of the total energy consumed by the subsystem during a predetermined period of time. Energy consumed by a subsystem is apportioned to one or more applications or daemons that utilize the subsystem. Energy usage by a daemon is apportioned to one or more applications that the daemon performs work on behalf of. A large sample of application energy consumption information is gathered by an energy server and provided to an application information server that is accessible by developers. Thus, a developer can view energy consumption vs. application utility, by client device type and by subsystem for the client device type.

    Abstract: In order to reduce latency associated with an application executed by an electronic device, when the application transitions from a runnable mode to a suspended state, the electronic device may receive a request from the application to maintain a connection, which is used by the application to communicate with another electronic device, while the application is in the suspended state. Then, the electronic device may provide an instruction to an interface circuit in the electronic device to maintain the connection for a time interval while the application is in the suspended state. This time interval may exceed a predefined timeout for the connection and/or a task extension time for the application. Moreover, prior to providing the instruction, the electronic device may confirm one or more system safeguards to prevent abuse and to ensure system performance and battery life is not adversely affected by maintaining the connection.

    Abstract translation: 为了减少与由电子设备执行的应用相关联的延迟,当应用从可运行模式转变到暂停状态时,电子设备可以从应用接收一个请求,以保持应用使用的连接 当应用程序处于暂停状态时,与其他电子设备进行通信。 然后,电子设备可以向应用处于暂停状态的时间间隔内的电子设备中的接口电路提供指示,以维持连接。 该时间间隔可能超过连接的预定义超时和/或应用程序的任务扩展时间。 此外,在提供指令之前,电子设备可以确认一个或多个系统保护以防止滥用,并且通过维持连接来确保系统性能和电池寿命不受不利影响。
